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!
