PBP: Jornada 29 - El Clásico | La Liga BBVA | Real Madrid v FC Barcelona | 23 March 2014 [R]

Is anyone assuming otherwise?

 

Here is the video I promised.

Enough about this.. its over. 3-4 to Barca

 

all I know is that we HAVE to win ever match left in this season La Liga otherwise yesterdays win was pointless

 

LPB can win the remaining games without CR just like they did when he was suspended.

 

This is really true.. now there are no excuses for below-par performances like Valladolid etc.. Gotta fight like never before... Rossell, Neymar case, Messi injuries are no excuses no more. Fighting spirit!! COME ON!!

 

Considering people are mentioning his 'reputation', yes.

 

Based on what?

 

I just noticed Forzabarca's video.

And here's the one I had linked.

Using both videos...
Busquets foot is in the air when he looks down.
From where his left foot planted, and with Lopez grabbing or pushing his neck, I'm not sure Busi had full control of where his right foot landed.
If he did, I think he was screwed no matter.
If he plants his right foot to the right (as he looks down) of Pepe's head he'll land off balance and probably fall.
If he lands over Pepe's head he'll clip Ramos on his heel.
Don't think he had the balance to land to the left of Pepe's head with Lopez grabbing/pushing his neck.
I think Busquets was damned no matter where his foot landed.

Why the skepticism?

On-pitch and off-pitch events/actions affect the league and how teams do. If it's in the rules of the organizers to punish certain kind of trash talk, they should do it.

Not that I care that much. But I would've thought by this point Cristiano would've learnt to deliver on the pitch or look into the mirror. Oh wait...

 

I half-agree.

I mean, title or not: Clasico wins mean something.

That said - obv agreed that gotta win all the Liga matches.

 

Barca, LPB and Atletico are probably at the department stores buying up all the suitcases. Will be like Christmas again for every one of their opponents in the next nine weeks.

 

Hay liga! i'm excited!
i predict all three teams will drop points between now and end of season.

 

IF we also beat RM on 16th April then I think their psyche will really be hurt which could impact them for the rest of La Liga OR at the very least IF we play them again in the champions league this season

 

I cannot be sure what happened but I really hope that Busquets did not deliberately step on Pepe. I mean I dislike Pepe and he did dive to the ground after headbutting Cesc but I'd prefer Barca players never resort to violence.

 

Yep. Don't stoop to your enemy's level.

 

Maybe we should give Carlo Ancelotti this book to help him with tactics

You're full of it. That passing crap does not make for good football. Barcelona are boring the world to death. Bayern are too great of a club to back pass for no reason whatsoever. Terrible system. Stick to the tried and tested method of buying your nearest rival's best players.
Says Der Kaiser.

 

Good article on Barça's newest signing Alen Halilovic. I'm quite excited to see him in FCB colors. He won't be in the B team for long.
