Super copa 2011: First Leg in Madrid
Real Madrid 2 - Barcelona 2
all in all, the msg was received as Madrid sort of outplayed Barca (Barca was lucky villa/messi managed to step up for the goals). It'll be a big challenge against Madrid this season...
as usual, got bombarded with the typical responses from my Madrid or anti-Barca friends about the referee being on Barca's side. And my response was:
"Ofcourse the ref is on our side. Think about it, we have to survive RM's 'aggression'. If the referees didnt watchout for Barca, atleast 2 Barca players would literally die in every el-classico. No one wants to lose their million dollar investments over couple of matches every season. Its certainly cheaper to pay the refs, wont you agree??"
