In any case my point was that Real Madrid in 10-11 was on a whole another level of dirty.

Bartomeu has my vote now.

Why? Bravo is better.

? I've already watched the whole game twice. You think Juventus played dirty?

Real Madrid did not play dirty for "some fraction" of the game. Plenty of great defensive teams don't play dirty. The current Juventus team, for one. Sure you had Vidal making reckless tackles but that was more of a case of one player losing his cool rather than a team systematically playing dirty.

I can respective defensive tactics, but there's a difference between playing defensive and playing dirty. And Mourinho's Madrid in 10-11 was the definition of dirty. Not to mention poking Tito in the eye, putting pressure on referees to get favorable decisions, etc. Only Mourinho could claim...

I know you're kidding but I don't miss him at all, he's cancer to the sport. So happy Clasico games are fun to watch again, and I feel sorry for English football fans for having to deal with him.

5-0, 2006 CL final, 2009 CL final, 2011 CL semifinal at Bernabeu, 4-0 vs Milan in 2013

Balotelli is about as marketable as Joey Barton. He's just a controversial figure, nothing marketable about him. James is one of the most marketable players in the world.

Suarez is the better and more important player, but this statement is still ridiculous.

Wasn't there some controversy around his age a few years ago? Something about him actually being a couple years older than he claims. Would help explain his seemingly early decline.

Why is the list so ridiculous? It's not a list of the greatest players, it's the most valuable players. That takes more things into account. English players will always have a premium because Premier League teams need to fill a quota and since there's a lack of good English players, the decent...

Never heard this before. I'm pretty sure he said he would join Madrid even back when he played for Atletico, and Atletico fans still hate him for that.

Is that really Dalitis?

The second half at Manchester was pretty even until the red card but first half and all 90 minutes at Camp Nou were all Barcelona. I think Juve gave us way more trouble.

It wasn't even thanks to Hart, our forwards just had an off day with their finishing, especially Neymar. Hart did well to save those but honestly most of the shots were straight at him and Neymar missed several chances that he would have normally buried on any other day. And even then we won...

Couple Inter fans I talked to at the time were glad that Coutinho was leaving, but I don't know if that was a popular opinion.

What did he say?

Does anyone else think that Messi was actually better in 2010 World Cup than 2014? People seem to remember his 2010 campaign as being a failure because he didn't score a goal but he was way more involved in everything going forward and was just unlucky with his finishes. If only they had a real...

Thought it was the other way around. And Iniesta also gets paid 10 million I think? In any case, it's ridiculous that Ramos wants 12 million, but I can see why he would want that much considering Kroos gets that much, which is frankly even more ridiculous.
