It's a fact that referees decisions are affected by their own biases and the players' influence or status. Sad but true. And I'm not generalizing by the way. Maybe 7 out of 10 referees?
We couldn't beat Alaves at camp nou without Suarez... It was a bad lineup from licho, and we lost the game. We'll have a better picture Saturday, but they're not an easy team. And they will be hungrier for the title, for sure.
That's true but we'll also be more motivated for Copa final than we were for a league game at home against recently promoted team. Lucho clearly underestimated Alaves in September but he'll go with the best possible lineup for CDR final. That game is still more than 3 months away though so I'm more interested what rotations he'll do on Saturday with PSG game ahead of us.
This team should really move to the Bundesliga or something. How much longer can they tolerate such crap. First of all, it should NEVER have been a second yellow and now they impose an extra game ban for not leaving. Give me a break. The extra game ban is of no real consequence, but these guys are clearly screwing around with this club and they not even afraid to show it.
