Did you mean hate? Not grammar naziying, just that it wasn't clear.
Personally I've been tired of Barca and their arrogant we're-the-best-and-play-football-the-right-way attitude for quite some time (which apparently involves a lot of over dramatizing, acting and outright cheating and then waiting for Messi to do something brilliant). It's nice that to see I'm not alone. I think Man Utd will have a lot of (extra) supporters on May 28th.
Actually feel pity for all you RM fans out there.
You have a coach who sent out players just to go and defend (even at your home turf, especially when you have a plethora of attacking options), left Higuain and Kaka on the bench (when they were terrific against Valencia just 3 days before), and played a dirty brand of football where all they were trying to do is hack down the opponent with the ball.
As pique put it "when you play with fire you can get burned"
So instead of bitching about barca and diving , go ask your coach some questions.

Mourinho said it clearly:

I do not know if advertising to Unicef​​, I do not know if they are very Mourinho charged ...", friendly.

Trying to distract attention from the fact that his strategy backfired.
Conspiracy theory, my a**e.
RM fans wake up - this man is trying to fool you.
Originally posted by arterioesI'm not a RM fan. Defending is a big part of the game, and I see nothing wrong with a defensive strategy against a team with strong possession skills. It doesn't matter who is on the bench and what club you are. And football is a contact sport, where you are allowed to tackle your opponent without him falling on the pitch screaming like he's been shot. Maybe Mourinho isn't the one who should be asked some questions...

Yesterday's game and post match comments from both teams were a disgrace. Refalona and RM can keep their petty, childish behavior to the 'La Liga', or be banned from the ChL. What a bunch of babies.

Am I the only one on earth who does not buy into the Barcelona hype? they surround referees at every opportunity, roll around diving, wave those imaginary cards. This is not pure football, it is cheating and manipulating. Along with this they have this obnoxious "holier than thou" attitude to their way of playing football. Somehow defending is evil. They are effectively trying to turn football into basketball.
Their hypocrisy when they made a big deal of having no sponsor whilst having the worlds largest nike swish on their shirts. One day I hope people wake up and see Barcelona for the enemies of football that they are.
Both teams brought the game into disrepute in the Champions League Semi-Finals, you can bet your bottom dollar that if that was two English teams surrounding the Ref and taking part in the fracas that went on at halftime there would be suspensions and fines. Jeez Blatter would even have the thumbscrews out if he could get away with it.
