Abidal 2-1

Apparently Barca were 10/1 @ 1-0 down

Doubt it went that high but it did go 7/2.

This game has been excellent, even by the standard of these games. Good goals, excellent passing, niggly sneaky fouls, diving shitebaggery, crunching tackles, a game with something for everyone!

I saw that on twitter after the HT ad said 5/1.

5/1 Barca to win over 45 mins!

It was a decent second by Barca. Lovely through ball by Messi.

Erm. How is it 5/1 for Barca to win over 45 mins?

And a glum-faced Mourinho at the final whistle would be the icing on the cake.

Madrid are a dirty shower.

I'm amazed no one got sent off, could have had a couple

I know Barca have their share of niggly diving shitebags, but there is something really ugly about that Real team.

I think you must be referring to Di Maria.

If you cant get the ball get the man the team that played deserved thier win

[Granny Danger]

Good game, good goals and Real Madrid once more shown up as the disgrace to Spanish football that they are. Hopefully there is the opportunity for Pepe to be retrospectively punished for his behaviour.

Thought Barca played better as the game went on but that is the closest I've seen them playing to a 4-4-2 that I can remember since Pep become manager.

Pepe and Carvalho should've walked.

Absolute nonsense. They are just as bad as each other. For every Pepe there is a Busqets.

The fawning of Barcelona when it comes to issues like this gets on my tits.

Barca contain some disgraceful play actors, but then, the same could be said for every team in Spanish football. Real play like the bad guys though. They just seem that bit more aggressive, that bit more willing to stick the boot in, that bit more willing to harass the ref, and of course, that bit more individualistic. They come across as "the bad guys", to use a simplistic phrase. Same goes when you compare the managers, and of course, the history and ethos of the clubs.

Apart from Busquets, there's no one else in the Barca team that's as bad as the Real players. Not just at playacting but just at general bad sportsmanship and dirtiness.
