David Villa to Barcelona!!!

 I knew there was a reason no one took the #7 jersey. Something tells me this transfer was a done deal since last year.

Once again, Barcelona beat Real Madrid. It was said last year that David Villa was very close to signing with Madrid, but as it turns out, Barcelona was the club Villa wanted to play for all along.

Villa's transfer from Valencia was finalized this past Wednesday for a transfer fee of 40 million Euros. Valencia was forced to deal Villa due to their financial troubles and they might not be done dealing as Spanish media reports many clubs are after David Silva, with Real Madrid and Barcelona as the front runners. It has been said that if Barcelona can't reach a deal with Arsenal for Cesc Fabregas, they'll be going after Silva, but I believe Madrid might have the upper hand on this deal.

With Villa coming to Barcelona, there's a good chance Ibrahimovic will be moving on. He didn't really live up to his potential and Barcelona's style of play doesn't suit him all that well. Juventus, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, and even Real Madrid are interested in the Swedish striker and the transfer fee is speculated to be anywhere from 30 to 50 million Euros.

Sad ending to a great career

If you haven't seen this play yet, take a look at what Francesco Totti did to Mario Balotelli on the Italian Cup Final.

Totally unacceptable for any player, and this looks even worse coming from a player of Totti's caliber. He was given a much deserved red card and he should also be suspended for a few games in my opinion.

After Balotelli's agent called Totti a racist, Balotelli himself says Totti called him a "Black Piece of Shit." There is no place for racism anywhere, and if this is indeed true, Totti should be suspended for a long time.

Real Madrid can rest in peace!

Inter Milan knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League, so Real Madrid's rivals won't have a chance to celebrate another Champions League win at the Bernabeu.

Franck de Bleeckere has got to be the worst referee I've ever seen in my live! FIFA should revoke his FIFA Referee badge immediately!

He gave Thiago Motta a direct red card for "caressing" Sergio Busquets face, and even with a yellow card already to his name, the play was a questionable second yellow for Motta. I have no idea what kind of fouls he was seen with every corner or every ball that was crossed inside the area. Apparently, he was the only one that was seeing the infractions, but the one foul, the one that almost entirely ripped Ibrahimovic's jersey, he didn't see it. And to make matters even worse, he saw an "intentional handle ball from Yaya Toure in a split second play that overturned Barcelona's second goal that would've sent them through to the final.

With that said, I have to tip my hat to Mourinho. This guy is now officially Barcelona's #1 enemy! This is why I've been saying all along that he should be Real Madrid's coach. He went into Barcelona's house, and simply challenged them to try to break his defense. He started playing on just his half of the field, but after Motta's red card, he basically put every single player inside the box, and Barcelona just couldn't get through. This is why I don't like him. He is probably the only coach I know that uses the anti-football tactic. Either way, his clubs always win, and that's what matters at the end for most people.

I rather lose playing good soccer, than win as Inter did. They'll most likely win the tournament and get the monkey that has been on Mourinho's back since he last won the Champions League with Porto. But in this game, Barcelona just didn't seem to ever get comfortable in the game. Xavi was hesitating a lot and holding on to the ball too long, Dani Alves and Maxwell couldn't get a single cross right, Ibrahimovic was a non factor, and Messi always had 3 defenders on him. Not a good day for Barcelona's fans, myself included, but we can't always win every one. I hope they can bounce back from this and win the Spanish league, just so Real Madrid has another year without any Cups!
