He was given a wonderful ovation and hero's welcome before the start. He was booed after his first touch on the ball though. Respect for legends but United come first...That was correct.I heard some United fans even booed CR today.
I don't think there's something to it. He spoke the truth and what he thought like he always does. There's no playing with media there. Even after the red card, he came to whisper to Ferguson that 'he understands that this was a bad decision but that he can't do much.' He even consoled Nani on his way back with a pat on his back. Mou is not a bad guy; he just speaks lots of truth that hurts Spain/Barca and the media there portray him as the destroyer. Like with the Casillas issue...Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United were better than his team during Real Madrid's 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.
Now I don't buy it.. there is something to it... and i wonder what could it be... I guess we will find out this summer.
Also I see lots of stupid Barca fans who think if Jose leaves this summer RM will be out of competition.... probably opposite if Klopp get's the Job... hopefully not

You wanna compare with previous similar incidents? Okay, as you wish...you know what ? that assault which Nani did remind me of Pepe and Alves incident in UCL Semi Final a couple years ago,
just like Relax said back then " it was an assault contact or no contact its still dangerous the red card is justified"
now last night we did see Nani is nowhere near the ball, he hit Arbeloa head on in the ribs, while Pepe don't hit Alves at all and manage to win the ball, but he was sent off anyway,
so this one is more reasonable, Nani could have killed Arbeloa with that challenge
so please no more talk about the red card, it was the right decision, MANU could have keep their lead or even scored more like Chelsea did to Barca last season, but hey park the bus don't work against Madrid, we know how to break it shoot through the window like Modric did,
OK 1 2 3 HALA MADRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No my friend United are not sore losers, if you watched the game even you should know that Madrid won a fluked game whether you are a fan or not. United played a better game, they were the better team.You mean the same ref that ruled out a legitimate madrid goal and handball? Funny how everyone seems to forget that incident.
Moreover, I didnt see Brendan Rogers refusing to give a post match interview after his team lost because of an unfair red card. United are just sore losers.
What legitimate goal? As for the handball, I talked about it above as I did on numerous other incidents in that match..You mean the same ref that ruled out a legitimate madrid goal and handball? Funny how everyone seems to forget that incident.

The one from Sergio Ramos. It wasnt even close to being a foul. And yes Brendan Rogers is liverpool's manager. He had a player sent off against united in september, for a tackle that should have been yellow or red cards for both the united and liverpool player as they both went in dangerously.What legitimate goal? As for the handball, I talked about it above as I did on numerous other incidents in that match..
Brendan Rodgers??? :| I think you're drunk right now.
I agree, poor decisions are made all the time, United aren't the only ones who were victims to this so there shouldn't be any serious battering. United were unlucky, but other teams suffered these cases as well nothing to it.The one from Sergio Ramos. It wasnt even close to being a foul. And yes Brendan Rogers is liverpool's manager. He had a player sent off against united in september, for a tackle that should have been yellow or yellow cards for both t he united and liverpool player as they both went in dangerously.
Point is the ref made terrible decisions against madrid as well.
yeah but he was trying to win the ball yes ? and he did without touching Alves at all, it doesn't matter whether he saw Alves at the very least he manage to win ball without hurting Alves but that guy dives anyway resulted in red card and costed Madrid the game, but its hard for the referee to gauge what actually happen since it happen so fast let alone Alves incredible spin and how the other Barca players crowd the referee soon after the incident......You wanna compare with previous similar incidents? Okay, as you wish...
In Pepe/Alves incident, Pepe clearly had Alves and the ball in his sight when he made his tackle and played the ball. Contact or no contact, he deliberately made that move to try to win the ball, even if it was dangerous for Alves. In that case, it was barely any contact but something with full notion of the position of the ball and player.
"The high kick (raising the foot above waist level) is another act that may, or may not, be dangerous play. Determination must be made as to the proximity and danger to an opponent. If contact is made, and is deemed dangerous, then a red card may be brandished."Now, in Nani's situation, the ball was coming towards him. He gave a good glance around him and saw nobody, so he decide to control the ball with his foot. Arbeloa came rushing to fight for that ball. Nani didn't knew Arbeloa was nearby him and his eyes was sorely on the ball, without any intention to hurt a player. I believe Nani realized that someone came to gain the ball when Arbeloa made contact with his shoulder, Nani tried to remove his leg but it was too late and he hit Arbeloa. It was a completely unintentional incident with the player, not even in front of his eyes when he made a high-foot attempt. Now, since contact was made, perhaps a yellow card was deserved and if, at most the player was highly injured (and don't pull me off that the player could have been killed bullshit :devil, then a red was deserved. But Arbeloa was fine, he got a quickly afterwards to his feet and no harm was done. There was barely any vicious demand of red cards from Madrid players. The referee just robbed United.
Error from the Ref, its just that simple, everyone know that EPL don't have any decent RefereeAnd just to present a last case where a high foot was made in a similar situation to Nani, some months ago, Collocini made a similar high-foot attempt without noticing Ba's at first. The difference between the 2 situations, it was the same thing but there, Ba got a broken nose, no penalty and Collocini didn't even receive a yellow. Why does Nani with non-harmful contact get red while the same thing with a broken nose contact as result give inverse decisions by referee?
how the hell that shirt pulling prevent Danny boy to re-positioning himself ? Ramos is pulling him from the back, not the other way around, i fact Danny boy could have easily re-position himself, but that boy still don't have enough striker awareness,This was complete robbery by the referee. There were lots of situation in this match that were controversial. Rafael's handball unintentionally, 5 penalty appeals of United overruled - with 2 at the very least being legitimate in my eyes, D.Lopez punched Vidic with both fists after the ball. Hell, even I can speak some crap by saying that Lopez made contact after the ball was gone, that there was contact and that Vidic could have got a concussion and died and so on...But stop speaking stupidities! Oh and there was also Welbeck who ruled offside after Vidic's header hit the post but what was the thing that prevented Welbeck's to re-position himself? Something like this probably:

There was also the red card and foul not given to Varane on Evra in he first leg and so on...
But still, I personally can overlook these decisions because in those "mistakes" of the referee, he has the benefit of doubt. He may say that he didn't see those fouls clearly as he's human and thereby, he couldn't give the right decision. That's something that barely acceptable but can be okayed. But how can you give a RED CARD on a WRONG INCIDENT where there was NO such thing? That's scandalous and a complete robbery. He didn't even asked his assistant on that incident and just red-carded an innocent player and ruined a match for a team, on an imaginary assault.
**** Platini, he was a Rubentus fanboy, they way he decrease the SERIE A UCL spot is pathetic just because FIGC slam at rubentus scandalous action.......2008 : UCL Final Man United - Chelsea [Platini says is not good for European football that two teams of same country go to the final because it means that European football is losing its beauty.]
2012 : Barcelona and R.Madrid go to semi-finals. [Platini says he would love to see both teams in the final. None of them makes it]
World Best XI all from La Liga, when UCL was won by an EPL team and none of those players made it to the final.
Cunyet Cakir showing red cards to EPL players [Gerrard (Liverpool) , Nani (Man United) , Cahill & Terry (Chelsea), Balotelli (Man City). What the actual hell Platini ? This incident is way too fishy. And I wouldn't be surprised of another controversial decision in Barca/Milan next week to be honest.
LOL that Ogre should STFU and learn from Chelsea, the red card its not the turning point, MANU is doing well defending with 10 men but Modric destroyed their wall,And as much as I prefer Madrid over Barca, Rooney is right with his assessment:
Wayne Rooney: "Barca won us with football and Madrid won us with Robbery"
It's a foul. Ramos used his arm and partially his elbow to prevent RVP from jumping and challenging for the ball. Atleast, that was what the referee deemed. It wasn't about hurting RVP.The one from Sergio Ramos. It wasnt even close to being a foul. And yes Brendan Rogers is liverpool's manager. He had a player sent off against united in september, for a tackle that should have been yellow or red cards for both the united and liverpool player as they both went in dangerously.
Point is the ref made terrible decisions against madrid as well.
Well, in my eyes, Pepe never deserved a red on that one and neither does Nani yesterday.yeah but he was trying to win the ball yes ? and he did without touching Alves at all, it doesn't matter whether he saw Alves at the very least he manage to win ball without hurting Alves but that guy dives anyway resulted in red card and costed Madrid the game, but its hard for the referee to gauge what actually happen since it happen so fast let alone Alves incredible spin and how the other Barca players crowd the referee soon after the incident......
"The high kick (raising the foot above waist level) is another act that may, or may not, be dangerous play. Determination must be made as to the proximity and danger to an opponent. If contact is made, and is deemed dangerous, then a red card may be brandished."
These are the FIFA rules. There was definitely contact (the first condition), and the referee deemed it dangerous (which it was --- second condtion), and hence a red card is fully justified under FIFA rules. Referee got it as right as possible from the angle he was in. Simple as that.
how the hell united fans know that Nani eyes was on the ball ? oh well it doesn't really matter since it was foul nonetheless, as professional footballer he should know that Arbeloa is just 5 meter behind and he did see Arbeloa coming but he jumped anyway and kick Arbeloa ribs not once but twice, watch the Video he added another impact after the kick, to make things even worse he dived and pretend to be the victim the dude don't do himself any favor,
if only, if only he stood up and apologize to Arbeloa and help him up from that challenge, it could have been yellow, but instead he dives :shrug:

Roy Keane (Ex Manchester United Captain and MANU Living Legend) : "Everyone's upset about it and it's slightly unlucky, but it's dangerous play. Whether he meant it or not is irrelevant. It's dangerous play - it's a red card.
"You have to be aware of other players on the pitch. Does he think he's going to have 20 yards to himself?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
We cannot take the reason that Nani only focus on the ball 100%. Even adebayor has collected many red cards for focus on a ball to win a possession.....
Error from the Ref, its just that simple, everyone know that EPL don't have any decent Referee
how the hell that shirt pulling prevent Danny boy to re-positioning himself ? Ramos is pulling him from the back, not the other way around, i fact Danny boy could have easily re-position himself, but that boy still don't have enough striker awareness,
and again its not a wrong incident neither imaginary assault, its actually happen and its dangerous,
RED CARD IS JUSTIFIED, take it or leave it !!!!!!
MANU played some great football, SAF nearly show the world how he win a match with incredible tactical approach,
but in football terms nearly means NOWHERE,
Kudos to United, try again next year:erm:
**** Platini, he was a Rubentus fanboy, they way he decrease the SERIE A UCL spot is pathetic just because FIGC slam at rubentus scandalous action.......
LOL that Ogre should STFU and learn from Chelsea, the red card its not the turning point, MANU is doing well defending with 10 men but Modric destroyed their wall,
and also SAF should have take out Danny boy and some of attacking player and put another defensive player soon after the red card to maintain the lead :shrug:
EDIT: i forget something....
1 2 3 HALA MADRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well i agree but its difficult for the referee to make any clear judgement over the incident cause he was surrounded by Barca players and also Alves act is really convincing even i fall for that......Well, in my eyes, Pepe never deserved a red on that one and neither does Nani yesterday.
the ref position, is just on the left side of Nani when he kicked Arbeloa, i presume he got clear view of the incident,There's 3 keywords in this rule; not 2. Contact, Dangerous, Proximity. There was contact; albeit non-intentional but there was, that I can't deny.
But then it's a scandalous decision. He deemed it dangerous from the angle he was in??? Really? Shouldn't he check whether Arbeloa indeed got hurt or shouldn't he atleast talk to Nani on the spot? Or talk to its assistants?
yes, but in the end the referee have the time to act as human or to follow the rule, he chose the latterMost of the stadiums fans, most of the players, coaches, 4th assistant, even Arbeloa didn't deemed it to be a red card. How can the referee be so certain about such a decision? Besides, the 3rd word clearly pleads in favor of Nani.
its the kick after the 1st impact that made the referee shows red...And replays clearly shows that Nani's eyes was on the ball...Let get this straight - Nani lifted his foot before seeing Arbeloa and before Arbeloa came rushing towards the ball if you see the replays clearly. In that situation, it's more like Arbeloa had suicidal tendencies than Nani had murderous intent.
come one that man is still a legend, or are you willing to listen to Joey Barton ?Roy Keane is just bitter of how his career ended with ManU. Don't listen to him...
am talking about after the red card, not before that, MANU park the bus after the red card, SAF should have order full scale defense after that........We play counter-attacking football; not park-the-bus lol... We never meant to defend like that. Chelsea resisting Barca with 10 men, was a God's miracle but anyways, Chelsea started both matches by defending with all players and maintained same tactic even after losing one man. It's not like that, for yesterday.
The tactic got ruined after the red card and against Madrid, who follows a less-sketched route as Barca, Madrid won. Again, kudos on Madrid to score those 2 goals but then again, I don't think United would have resisted anyways against Madrid when they were down at 10. It was mission impossible in my eyes. Also, we had only one defensive player - Evans (CB) on the bench while the rest were striker and wingers. Taking out Welbeck for a defender wouldn't have made any sense as then, we would have lost Nani & Welbeck which were our 2 players doing the counters for us. At most, we could have play a box-to-box mid in place of Welbeck but we didn't have such a player for that. Nah, I don't think United had a chance after red card; except if D.Lopez wasn't so good and made more mistakes. But at 11 v 11, I think United would have not only gone through but also win the match yesterday.
A red card is one the most crucial decision decided upon referees. By such, when it is "difficult to make clear judgment", I think, it's often best not to lift a red card as you're not 100% sure of your decision and that you might alter the game on a mistake of yours. That's my view.well i agree but its difficult for the referee to make any clear judgement over the incident cause he was surrounded by Barca players and also Alves act is really convincing even i fall for that......
and then i saw him come back into the pitch and running like a bitch as if nothing happened......
the ref position, is just on the left side of Nani when he kicked Arbeloa, i presume he got clear view of the incident,
at 1st i think it was a foul by Arbeloa since the ref is coming for Nani, but it was Nani who did it,i assume the REF will give a yellow for Nani that red shocked me too i don't know what the hell is going on,
but when i saw the replay i started think that red card is the righ call after all
if you look at it that was dirty stuff Nani tried to pull after he kicked Arbeloa, he add another impact which is very dangerous and completely uncalled since he already loss the ball, that's why its a red card its a dangerous play,
Nani realized that and tried to played the victim A.K.A deceive the referee that perhaps convince the referee that red more appropriate, and also the ref don't show red card immediately he takes time to measure the incident and decided to show red
yes, but in the end the referee have the time to act as human or to follow the rule, he chose the latter
or do you 1-2:bouncy: see Arbeloa to do a barrel roll like Alves ?
its the kick after the 1st impact that made the referee shows red...
come one that man is still a legend, or are you willing to listen to Joey Barton ?
am talking about after the red card, not before that, MANU park the bus after the red card, SAF should have order full scale defense after that........
MANU could have maintain their lead if the played it like Chelsea
OK 1 2 3 HALA MADRID!!!!!!!!!!!
The most respected Australian football commentator even talked about it yesterday... he's not a good boy. He's tactician not only on the field but off the fieldI don't think there's something to it. He spoke the truth and what he thought like he always does. There's no playing with media there. Even after the red card, he came to whisper to Ferguson that 'he understands that this was a bad decision but that he can't do much.' He even consoled Nani on his way back with a pat on his back. Mou is not a bad guy; he just speaks lots of truth that hurts Spain/Barca and the media there portray him as the destroyer. Like with the Casillas issue...
As for Klopp, he is very happy at Dortmund. He said that he might leave it someday for either England or Spain; but it will be for a club who values legacies manager and where the owners don't fire managers as they wish and when they like. He also is relishing to have a tactical battle with Pep, next year. So, yeah, don't see him at Madrid next season. Though Mou might leave surely...
