[d_phaneuf]

stay classy Alba

most petulant team in football

[Slacker]

I'm loving this! My friend must be pissed off with this result.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

THAT WAS AWESOME!

Robben and Ribery were outstanding. Schweinsteiger and Martinez gave Messi nothing. Messi is not healthy

[Locke]

I cant wait to watch this game when I get home. Absolute domination.

Barca are done.

not a very taxing game for Bayern

[The Swedish Flame]

Barca might have managed to score four goals on Milan at home.

Bayern is not Milan. And they need five.

One very poor shot on target the whole game.

I do. That's a clear off the ball foul that interferes with play. Would he have got back? Who knows. But the fact of the matter is that he was directly impeded in his attempt to get to the player with the ball.

Clear foul and exhibit A of why UEFA needs to stop giving these big games to third world soccer countries such as Turkey. Poland, Hungary etc ....... Another fairly easy offside call missed too.

Nonetheless, Munich well worth their win. Messi clearly not fit.

because it's one of the first calls to go against Barca in a decade, and they got away with 2 blatant hand balls in the box

it's a clear foul

Kassei is a world class ref, he missed calls, but there's a reason he gets these games

[Bagor]

I'll give you one handball. The second ..... no way.

[SeoulFire]

This result is going to make the day at work so much more pleasant.

[sadora]

1 great goal from Bayern and 3 gifts from the ref. What a bs result, should have been a 1 goal lead for Bayern going back to the nou camp. Bayern deserved the win, but not the way this ended. Gomez was offside, that pick was a foul...bunch of bs!

[moon]

Which 3 were gifts?

Obviously the second Mueller goal you would whine about but since Barca gets those calls ignored all the time seems odd to whine about that. Gomez was onside but seems to be plenty of whining on that one anyways. Can't figure out the other gift with the remaining two goals but sure Barca fans will find something to cry about.

not over yet

I am fully expecting multiple pens during the game for Barca next week

they might let Xavi ref it if he wants

[azzarish]

Scary to think what Bayern are going to be like with Guardiola at the helm next year. Especially with Mario Gotze and whoever else they're going to buy.

As for Barca, I wouldn't say their dominance is coming to an end just yet. But they were well beaten there. They can't control corners either.

Was/is this just because of size? Or other things as well?

I don't understand what this has to do with the calls or the game today in Munich?

I'm actually shocked that Robben didn't go down like he was shot when the ball hit him!
