    It's so blatant and obvious, goal line technology isn't needed here. Unbiased refs are. Refs not paid for by Floren and LPB. It's so evident, human error isn't even a possibility.
    You'd have to be blind to miss the ball 1 meter inside the goal, and the defender that kicked it out, almost his whole body inside the goal.
     
    Chinky24 and Forzabarca repped this.

    Its not inevitable. If Barca didn't draw AM in the CdR semis they couldn't have faced them in the cup until after the season (or not at all).

    Also when Barca played LPB 5 times in a season they didn't have that tough of a draw apart from that. They still played fewer tough fixtures in 2010-11 than they'll have to play this season in all comps.

    Trust me if Barca beat AM in CdR and in La Liga in February they'll lose to them in CL. You can only beat a good team so many times. Madrid found this out against Sevilla a couple of weeks ago.

    I see Barca thrashing AM again and again this year only if Lucho plays Pique/Umiti and Mache in midfield.

    In season 2010-11, we played Madrid 4 times in two weeks time (1 League game, 2 UCL and CDR final) and Real Sociedad (away) and Espanyol all between April 16th to May 8th.

    I remember that. Fortunately by the time Barca had to play a top team in the CL the league title was pretty much wrapped-up, so it wasn't really such a brutal stretch of games like it might seem at first. Of course you always wanna beat Espanyol but the Sociedad match was meaningless*.

    Fast-forward six years and we're in a totally different context. Every Liga match is pretty much must-win now.

    (* that said, if Barca had beaten Sociedad the latter would've likely been relegated which could have saved some headaches in subsequent years :geek: )

    When Madrid doesnt win la Liga for 3 years in a row,all the institutional Madridimso in Spain come together and the result is such refreeing mistakes,this happened in 2012 also.

    of course,this doesnt mean Barca played well but in 2012 Madrid did deserve la Liga title very clearly,not really so this year but they will win to give some breathing space,until catalunya & Basque country separate and join Ligue 1,this institutuional corruption of madridismo will continue.
