That was no PK the Barca player just got out muscled - it was a 50/50 for both of them, If Sepp Blatter doesn't introduce video replays for the officials next season refereeing will get much worse ಠ_ಠ

Hope this does not ruin Levante's hope for champions league qualification...

I think that fifa and uefa believe that smaller teams don't deserve to get critical calls, and 'iffy' decisions should also go to the bigger clubs

Honestly, after seeing barca play lately, RM is better this season for sure

Wow levante's penalty call hmm...

OK, so ronaldo and messi both have taken 12 penalties this season. So no more "penaldo" jokes

Barca were confused that the opposition had stolen their colours

It funny to see so many people Mad that Barca won lol, let hope the Real Madrid choke is complete and Barca win the treble, the hater may explode with rage lol

Barca has two types of goals:
1. Tic-tac, tic-tac
2. Messi dribble-dribble-dribble

And rely on 75% possession de balon. Effective but very boring

- First off, much respect to Levante. Yes, they kind of parked the bus but there was a danger about them at all times and it was a coherent, tactically great performance. I am impressed by what this team does with its tiny budget. Let's not forget, they are also the only non-Barça team to beat Real Madrid all season, all competitions.

- The first half was frankly among the worst I've seen Barça play in the Guardiola era. Minutes 15-45 were a genuine Worst of Barcelona, lots of useless possession, a defensive slip-up, high crosses for short players, uncreative attacking, weird mistakes. The second half was much better. Messi showed up and Iniesta's proved he's invaluable. Xavi had had a bad first half, so I understood Guardiola did the swap; Cuenca played well.

- Now, of course, the penalty. It was soft; everyone who calls it a "dive" a) has never played football, or be) weighs 3000 pounds or see) just has to hate. At this speed and with the centrifugal force involved (excuse the lingo), you cannot stay on your feet. Whether or not there was a foul is a completely different story. In my opinion, it was a borderline shove which you can call, but a very harsh decision. The fourth official gave it, and he had a good view. Marca, interestingly, said it was a penalty. The commentator on Canal 6 (Spanish, pretty neutral) put it best, "it was no scandal to give it and it would have been no scandal not to give it. " Sadly, this is a kind of statement you hear far less often in football than it is actually true

To All Barca Fan's we do not have to prove the penalties we get, we have the best dribblers in the world and some days we will get soft calls in our favor cauz we will have the most possession and we will be in the opposition box more often than any other team.

So whether ppl like it or not the probability of us getting a call is much higher than anyone other team cauz most other teams get in to the Barca box mostly when they win Corners

Cuenca did it again, he did it against Hospitalite(I can't remember exactely the name) in copa del rey

Messi's first goal is class

Messi: 5 defenders covering him, scores anyways
