Just imagine after everything Barcelona went through this year we win la liga.... It will be Epic

Just on Wednesday, Higuain got a similar penalty that killed Athletico off.... Why would Madrid fans and other heaters claim this is not a penalty when no one complained about Higuain's?

Anyways as long as we got all 3 points, I don't care about the conspiracy theory.... Welcome to camp Nou Madrid

Every single team has controversial calls called for and against them. Every. TEAM. Barca, Madrid, ManU, etc. We all hate divers and hate bad decisions by referees, but they've been around forever and they'll continue to be around. Diving is a despicable tactic and repeat offenders (Busquets, Suarez, Pepe, Ronaldo, Nani, etc. There's one or more on every team) deserve to be punished by the league or FIFA harshly.

I won't hesitate to call out barca players for being divers or refs for making a crap call in barca's favor, but don't try to act like the team you support has not gotten any controversial calls or does not have one player who's a big puss.

The fact is, deep down inside, we all love it when our squad gets a lucky break from a shitty call. But the moment you get the short end of the stick, you're justifiably pissed off. All true fans are hypocrites with short-term memory loss. I am, and so are you

Like drobga said barca IS A discrace...

Well, it's the Camp Nou in a weeks time! A Barca victory will surely derail are. Madrid

Listen to what this hater said.
"Guardiola has spent the whole game pressuring the referee.... " Valdo, levante player.
Unbelievable all these haters man....
Lmao....

I don't think a player can use hands to shrug off another player.... Definite penalty.... But a soft one

Levante proved to be a difficult host. Not only were their tactics highly defensive, but when they challenged for possession they were able to move the ball comfortably. They made less concessions than the average Barcelona opposition. Their physicality was very imposing and it showed in their strength and experience. You could just notice how they were muscling Barsa out of the ball.
Also, it shows in how remarkably difficult it was for Barcelona to probe and through. If you pay attention to Messis first goal, it was assisted from Sanches from the tight space of 1 or 2 a meter.

On the controversial penalty. Levante's defender did not play the ball, he went for Cuenca. Yes Cuenca pushed back and tussled but the defender could of slid for the ball, but he chose to muscle Cuenca out of the ball. My question is, as a defender, why would you do that? Why run the risk? Did Cuenca make the most of that contact? Absolutely but the burden falls on the defender for not being cunning enough to play the ball and fast enough to be able to do so,

If there was call that clearly deserved a penalty to be awarded, it was the challenge on Iniesta late in the game. The poor Manchego flew of the ball as he got body slammed by the defender. Levante were lucky not to get called on that one.

Also, even though the grass in the pitch was high, it should be no reason why you cannot dominate the opposition. But I understand how it affects the rhythm of play due to its drag on the ball.

Over all, an anxiety inducing game.

Deserving Victory for Los Cules.

Cheers!

Mascherano just keeps on getting better and better. All it will take for Madrid to 'over take' Barca this year is for them to win one trophy. Just one.

I hope Bilbao runs Madrid into the ground at San Mames.

Why do people hate teams that're doing great? In EPL they said Man UTD are getting all the PKs and SAF intimidates everyone.... In La Liga, they call Barca Cheaters and claim they pay off officials....

What people failed to realize is that you can't win so many trophies if you're not that Good.... Even Juventus and Milan during the calciopoli were very good teams.... As long as defenders keep making some stupid mistakes, they'll be punished.

Every coach can go ahead and pre-write their conspiracy theory even b4 the games involving United or Barca for all I care but the fact remains that they're doing something better than others and that's why they're winning.... If Madrid lose this La Liga to Barca they can go f**k themselves with conspiracy theories cos 10 points gap in La Liga is too much for anyone to close

Great Job Barca! All you need to do is win the league!

Messi's just 2 gud 2 be taken 4 granted, he's d best baller I've ever seen, he's on his way 2 get his 4th ballon d' Or

Gud job barca.... Keep it up...
