La Liga 2017/18

Roberto such a fool. Suckered into the atmosphere.

I agree on Bale being a red. Raked his studs on Umtiti. Was surprised he didn't get anything for tripping Iniesta five minutes before.
 
Need to see the Roberto sending off, looked soft but if he made contact with his face it's a red.

Bale should be off.
What kind of logic is that? Doesn’t matter if he hit his face or not, a deliberate slap/punch is always a red.
 
How did Bale get away with that though. Should have been off. Barca can feel aggrieved there.
 
Mané is right or left footed? I'm starting to think that Zidane might be experimenting with Bale to man-mark Mané in the final and that would be one problem less for him.

Wouldnt be to mark Bale. It'd be to look after Robertson, who, like Alba, gets forward very well.
 
Bale needs to feck off to United. Ridiculous foul on Umtiti, so very lucky not be sent off

Then Sergi Roberto with an hold my beer moment :lol:
 
TBF , he is not in a position to see Bale's challenge, that was on linesman. I don't think that was red anyway, yellow for sure.
Really? He completely changed the direction of his foot to make contact with the back of Umtiti's leg. Clear red.
 
S. Roberto is really unintelligent player. recently he was sent off in cup too, also straight red. Bale should haven been off too, though.

weird game. there was no real passion until 40. minute, then Barca just went crazy. even Messi started kicking players :lol:
 
Lol this reminds me of the 2011 era classicos, with Barca dominating possession and Real getting a man sent off and being more thuggish, but now the roles have somewhat reversed.

Personally I hate red cards like that, just give a yellow, it's not that big of a deal. I think Bale's one he was actually trying to go for the ball, but caught the leg, so should be a yellow.

It's a punch. It's regardless

Bale 100% was a straight red too
 
The referee is not qualified enough to handle a match of this pedigree. He looks more lost than a deer in the headlights. But the match just got more interesting.
 
Massacre incoming in the second half. Not the first time Sergio Roberto gets himself sent off with an idiotic behavior in an important match.
 
What a team of pussies Barca is. Messi should have received a red for his tackle. There was clear intent to hurt the opposition palyer.
He receives like ten of those fouls every game and nobody is sent off.
 
Just saw the replay of Barca's goal. Imagine having that pacey and fluid an attack:(
 
Suarez is such a cheat but I like him when he's on form. Great finish.

Messi definitely should be off. The game was always going to go downhill from there.
