And they say refereeing in England is bad! Pepe had the defenders arm trapped under his and someone get awarded a penalty! Don't get me started on the "foul" for the free-kick that put them one up.

BTW, how shit have Madrid been this season? I know they've 16 points from a possible 18 and hammered Galatasaray in the CL, but they've been outplayed in nearly every game I've watched them in so far.

Makes me hate them even more. Almost the polar opposite to purist Barcelona.

So wassname - that Brazilian LB was it? - pushes over an Eche defender and it's a pen for RM? OK then.

Would love them to finish third, anything less is fantasy. A prime example of how money can't buy you everything.

The Ozil sale hit the team hard imo.

Ozil and 50 odd mil for Bale must be one of the dumbest moves in football history. They have no excuse and if I was a fan I would be up in revolt. This was a move from FM when your 10 seasons in, win everything every year without really trying and just generally a little bit board. You can't be assed to start a new save because the new game comes out in a few weeks so you try to keep it interesting by buying any player you are linked too by some dodgy website on newsnow. Just hilarious management, I can't believe this has actually happened.

To be fair I always preferred the Ronaldinho era of Barcelona, rather than the stat machine of recent years.

Has Neymar played much yet?
This 100% for me, the team of recent was a well oiled machine but that Barcelona team with Ronaldinho was pure magic

Ronaldinho my favourite player ever, as everytime he was playing you never knew what he was going to do

Barca the opposite to Real?

Its a myth. Barca are full of out right cheats he fall over as soon as they are dispossessed. Busquets is an absolute creature. Even the self styled no nonsense "tough guy" Puyol falls over like a sissy when its needed.

The actual club has better values than Real though.

I think he gave the pen for the shove from that defender not looking at the ball at all. At least that's what I'm hoping.

For the ones saying the Ozil sale hit them really hard, I thought it was good business, 40m for a player they no longer needed (Isco look s a huge talent and has arguably been their best player so far)

Still feel slightly sad for modders plays a more DM role now.

They make out they do but they dont really look at the Fabregas, Cruyff and Abidal sagas. They just have a great focus on developing youth and playing possession footy. The club also sees it self as a country and its papers use the club as a propaganda machine to try and get independence.

Agree with the Barca myth debunking. Just as bad at tapping up, and spend equally stupid amounts of money every season; £40m + Eto'o for Ibrahimovich, £40m for Villa, £50m for Sanchez, and now £50m for Neymar. And they never need any of these lot, their success is built entirely around 3 players.

As someone else said, there would have been no room for both Ozil and Isco as they are both number tens. Isco has scored 4 in his first five games, and a load of assists, so he's not doing badly.
