sathi haru, if u have any problem with barca...come to me for a talk.
there is a mole is barca, its called segio busquets.... nothing else is wrong other than this.  if u follow soccer regularly u know what i am trying to tell.  like they say here in the states soccer is women's game.  rightly enough the boys in top euro league play act.
if i could make a change in barca it would be switching busquets for yaya toure. every team needs a person like alves because messi aint gonna gonna for small challenges.

lets focus on the last game of barca.
mou chose looser tactics; its cool u can do that - but a club like madrid in home ???
so u wanna defend with 10 person (ronaldo was upfront) entire first half and dont expect ur players to be yellow carded or at worse red carded???? - there is always a good chance.
barca had to do what they had to do, i mean passing the ball to death in their half and wait for the right moment o go forward (82% posession in first half).
ever since motta red card i have no respect for busquets. i dont know what pedro was thinking though.  in a game like that who knows what is running through their mind.  i hope pedro realises his mistake.  busi needs to be booted though.
about alves, if he had no taken his leg off by inches, pepe would have done some real damage.  high challenge, i know he went for ball, they both did but the impact got alves spinning and from the angle of ref (ref dont have the luxury of replay) it was a red.
about too much pressure of the ref from all players of both teams - its because of mou's tactics, first goal was always going to be crucial. if real madrid score first they would all sit back (all 11) and make sure 1-0 was the result.  real never wanted barca to score that away goal.
ok right or wrong pepe was sent off, so was mou - he was still in touch with other members of hte management (handing out notes) - why did he leave adebayor and ronaldo upfront while leaving pepe place void.  he should have gotton another defender.  i guess he wanted to make the score 1-1.... too bad messi had another idea.
the worst of all because of jose mourinho the relations of madrid and barca are at worse since figo time.  i hope there will be nothing worse in the return leg in turm of violence.

on the positive note - jose has to play attacking football on tuesday.  this not over yet.
peace
