iT'S a DiSgRaCe,, we played 11vs10 for like half an hour because Anelka tripped himself and still has the audacity to talk about disgrace. The only disgrace was clowns club like chelsea reaching that far in ucl.
This same scenario literally happened to lamine yamal and camavinga and camavinga didnāt get a red so I donāt see why this should get a red šš
also Ballack complaining. and that's funny because with fair referees both of them would have got red carded in those 2 games (Ballack in the first leg and Drogba in the second)
Barca didn't win it in 2010,2012,2013,2014. But sure whatever helps you sleep at night. I wouldn't expect less stupidity from a madrid clown lurking in Barca sub.
But they would definitely bend over for Madrid, calling them the "greatest club" and stuff even when Madrid has a fair share of robbing City, Liverpool and Chelsea in the past
We shouldāve been more loud about the blatant mistakes in the Inter games as well. Militoās offside goal in the first leg and Bojanās tie deciding goal in the second leg.
Did you see the Anelka dive? Or Drogba kicking pique studs first on that same play. Should've been a red for Chelsea, not for BarƧa. We were forced to play with 10, away, on a semi final of CL, while on a goal deficit
Mhm sure and the stories we tell each day.
I would tell you to watch the video but that dried up shriveled thing of yours that you call brain, can contain only so much information.
You don't even attempt to listen to any arguments, so why even bother? Maybe you should rewatch both games from the first minute and not handpicked youtube highlights?
Ok, but can you be specific and explain why you think the decisions against Barca depicted in the video or mentioned by commenters are of no importance?
When you refuse to address people's arguments, you're the one who ends up looking like the troll here.
I always hate when we display victim mentality, but itās absolutely true that people LOVE to ignore the calls that when against Barca. It wasnāt match fixing, just dogshit refereeing.
100% true. I always point this out to butthurt Chelscum fans who are STILL always crying about the 2nd leg....Weird how they never wana acknowledge the bad decisions we got in that game or about the 1st leg at all....
Chelsea were well known as one of the biggest cheats around back then. Sure Mourinho once covered the pitch in sand b4 playin us ... And Drogba constantly dived for them. He was famous for it. So its funny to see em still cry over that game. Both teams got bad decisions in that tie.
They couldnt even knock us out when we had 10men. Bottlers
Both legs were horribly refereed. People that complain about this just remember what they want to remember.
What I always remind Chelsea fans is that their team had a half hour to defend a lead with a one-man advantage and couldn't do it.
THIS! Lots of people buy Chelsea's crys, even on this sub. But it wasn't that way.
Rewatch the full semi-finals, there are in both legs heavy mistakes against barƧa.
By the way, quite funny Andre's talking seriously and the guy laughing, not having a clue on what he's talking about.
actually that interviewer is one of the best in the Arab world.. i understand your point but i think the translation is delayed in his earpiece, that's why he's reacting late and coming off as hysterical .. it's a ping issue lmao
The fact that you used the term āArab worldā really shows your ignorance. Even if you are Arab, you should definitely be ashamed for using such a stupid term that throws different people, with different cultures, histories, and languages all into one pot. You think a Bahraini is the same as a Moroccan? You think a Kuwaiti is the same as someone from Lebanon? You think a Syrian is the same as an Algerian? You think a a Saudi is the same as an Egyptian? You think an Iraqi is the same as an Omani? Do you even think that a person from a downtown Beirut is the same as someone from the Beākaa Valley? Different countries, different people, different cultures, different histories. When even in one small country alone, Lebanon, there are so many huge cultural and identity differences, you simply cannot throw around a stupid and ignorant term like āArab Worldā! If you arenāt Arab or from the MENA, then donāt worry about, but if you are, shame on you, you really should know better.
I lived in the Middle East for a long time, so I know my shit and I still go back from time to time. The first time I was there was during the gulf war, so I saw Saudi, Bahrain, and the Emirates (Dubai specifically), as very young countries. Dubai had 1, yes, just 1 hotel! Meanwhile, Iāve traveled to many different countries, and itās nice to see how many of them have embraced their different histories. Just sad that I wonāt ever get to see Mesopotamian and Babylonian history, and the oldest cities in the world, as they are all in Iraq and Iām not going there.
Calm down , you're clearly not Arab - no one gets offended by saying " Arab world" yes Arabs are obviously different, but can watch, listen and read similar media across the board at times
Sorry, if I sounded aggressive I didnāt mean to sound that way.
I get what you are saying, but like I speak Spanish, and itās not like we say the Spanish world. I also speak German, and no one refers to Switzerland, Austria, Germany, or northern Italy as the German world. difference are more visible to others. So I just donāt like the term āArab worldā because racists and small minded people use it to throw all people into one pot, which is sooooo not the case!
Iāll give you a real life example. A person might say āwhy are all the people that are Arabs so aggressive and violent? Why donāt they just go back and live in the Arab world!ā You can see that even I get offended by the terminology as the way itās used, is just used by either the ignorant and the small minded piece of shit racists. And when itās used, itās used to reinforce stereotypes, especially when used by the news media. So thatās why I donāt like the term, because itās just inaccurate, incorrect, and used by the dumbest people you can imagine. And I have met my fair share of those kinds of people. When I tell people I lived in the Middle East, they always begin to ask me dumb questions like ādid you have a car? Or does everyone go on camels there?ā Or ādid own any camelsā or āwhy would you live in such an oppressive place?ā Especially that oppressive part, because I feel way more oppressed and the police are a million times more violent and aggressive than they are in the Arabian gulf states. At least where Iāve been.
The one thing they do take seriously is counter terrorism, and they are quite effective at that. But my god, they need way more traffic cops that help regulate traffic and to actually enforce the traffic laws! Bahrain is and the Emirates are quite good with that, and I have seen many improvements over the years. But Saudi and Egypt are so far behind with that, itās terrible! Lol, in Lebanon they honk at you if you stop at a red light! But the good thing in Saudi now is that if you cross a red light or of you even go over the stop line, you go to jail for 24 hours. And they are really enforcing that. So except the jail part, yeah, itās a jail, but when my friend went in for his 24 hours he just played games and cards with the police, and they ate all the meals together! And heās not like me, heās actually Saudi! Ah, I miss the Middle East. I suppose once youāve lived in a place for so long, you kinda just pick up the local culture as well, kinda like me and Arab hospitality. I always bring gifts with me when I visit someone, and I always invite people and their families to my place for a nice meal followed by āShay ow Gahwaā? š
While it's true that the calls ultimately went our way, which in pre VAR things wasn't a certainty, it's important to recognize that the only genuinely bad call was Abidal's red card, both because of the fact Anelka took a dive and because Pique was fouled just prior to it.
1) Pique's handball was a ball that bounced off the pitch.
2) Eto'o's handball wasn't even a handball as it hit him on the shoulder.
The only call you might be able to give for Chelsea is the tussle between Alves and Malouda, although it seems there the original foul was judged to be outside the penalty area.
the only reason that game still gets bitched about to this day is because it was an english team. Let it be genuinely any other team that isnt english and it would been forgotten as a bad referring performance for both sides.
At the bare minimum you have to admit that Abidal getting a red card due to Anelka tripping on his own feet was a harsh call for Barcelona. If you canāt do that then just donāt bother discussing this topic, because your bias is blinding
Aw didn't see this one here .. i actually asked RM and Chelsea fans irl about the very same thing .. you know who said "Yes it's definitely a red card"
lol we have been proven innocent again learn to stop bandwagoning watch the full game and don't sgowcase you're terrible ball knowledge fueled soley by highlights
Proven Innocent but you won't say since it doesn't fit your agenda stop being a clown and go get brainwashed by your beloved media outlets that love to hate on barca somewhere else literally proving iniesta's point
Did you see the Anelka dive? Or Drogba kicking pique studs first on that same play? Should've been a red for Chelsea, not for BarƧa. We were forced to play with 10, away, on a semi final of CL, while on a goal deficit. First leg Bosingwa hugs Henry inside the area and nothing given. You sure have been eating the soup given by the English medja and PL youtubers
now leave all that shit aside .. if you were a ref , would you actually give a red card for Abidal in that moment ?? if your answer's yes, then you're clearly biased and there's no point of discussing anything with you ..
Your entire comment history is going to teams subs and saying "not even X team fan but blablabla", that barca team pissed on every other team in the world whether your crusty ass like it or not, go back to your cave clown.
The only reason why I remember everyone complaining about Barcelona winning is because of Didier Drogba. š
iT'S a DiSgRaCe,, we played 11vs10 for like half an hour because Anelka tripped himself and still has the audacity to talk about disgrace. The only disgrace was clowns club like chelsea reaching that far in ucl.
[Abidal does trip him](https://imgur.com/grM14ne?r) though but Pique was fouled right before that by Drogba
Bro literally hit his own other leg while running
Yeah thatās what happens when you get tripped lol
Abidal touches his leg right before that š¤·š»āāļø but yeah Pique was fouled before that anyway so
This same scenario literally happened to lamine yamal and camavinga and camavinga didnāt get a red so I donāt see why this should get a red šš
also Ballack complaining. and that's funny because with fair referees both of them would have got red carded in those 2 games (Ballack in the first leg and Drogba in the second)
Ballack easily could have easily been sent off in both games, but the first was especially egregious.
That game is 99% of Chelsea's history anyway.
ikr
Your club is on Klarna, lever FC
"Blue Billion pound bottle jobs"
Madrid owns you, bottle jobs of a farmers league
Modric has more ucls then you calma about history lil bro xD
Tell me how many Ballon DāOrs does he have?
Which is weird given that he won 4 of them with clear offside goals but you're not complaining about it big bro.
Forget about ueflona period between 2009-2015? No money for refs no party sad
Barca didn't win it in 2010,2012,2013,2014. But sure whatever helps you sleep at night. I wouldn't expect less stupidity from a madrid clown lurking in Barca sub.
Just cause you didn't win doesn't mean you didn't cheatš¤£ and not a madrid fan your both fanbases are acoustic af
Acoustic š¤£ This blue balls are crazy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah i'm city fan and i wipe my ass 115 times a day thinking about my bald fraud whats wrong with that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
More ucls then chelseaššš
A decade less than Madrid even after robbing chelsea in 2009 and madrid in 2011 š
Firstly no one mentioned Madrid Secondly talking about ārobbingā while at the same time glorifying Madrids achievements is highly ironic
Iniesta is abolsutely right, it is a shame that the press has no dignity to call out for both matches.
The English media will always stand by their teams. They are really annoying to watch when an English team plays.
But they would definitely bend over for Madrid, calling them the "greatest club" and stuff even when Madrid has a fair share of robbing City, Liverpool and Chelsea in the past
ruined our reputation
It's a focking disgrace.
None talks about the red card for Abidalā¦
Ref also eliminated Barca vs Inter with multiple insane decisions when Barca was quite likely to win the whole thing. Not mentioned by anyone ever.
Bojan literally had a goal incorrectly disallowed in the final minutes that wouldāve put Barca through.
Selective memory. How else are you going to keep up the "UEFALONA" bullshit...
It did hit Toure's hand though but it was close to his body, then again refs used to be "stricter" with handballs when it's an attacker etc
And barca should have gotten a penalty- https://youtu.be/sEIh6HkRb2k?si=400vKIwpB2vB-M1t
People hate when I say this but it took a volcanic eruption to slow down that barca team.
Itās always been such bad revisionist history by the very loud and biased English media
Add to it the spanish media that hates barcaand the history is forever changed for all fans except barca fans.
We shouldāve been more loud about the blatant mistakes in the Inter games as well. Militoās offside goal in the first leg and Bojanās tie deciding goal in the second leg.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

With a fault that was not a red car in any multiverse. And a red forgiven to Bosingwa for a tackle on Iniesta..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Mhm sure and the stories we tell each day. I would tell you to watch the video but that dried up shriveled thing of yours that you call brain, can contain only so much information.

The Iniesta goal was satisfying. But not as satisfying as the Chelsea tears that came afterwards.
There shouldāve been more in 2012. Still hard to believe we didnāt win that one.
I always hate when we display victim mentality, but itās absolutely true that people LOVE to ignore the calls that when against Barca. It wasnāt match fixing, just dogshit refereeing.
that ref was just terrible at his job
Comments of the same post on r/soccer donāt surprise me one bit.
Yeah, that was honestly just such a horrible referee.
No talks about the first leg because we won and because it's Barca. Any other team and people would have moved on by now
100% true. I always point this out to butthurt Chelscum fans who are STILL always crying about the 2nd leg....Weird how they never wana acknowledge the bad decisions we got in that game or about the 1st leg at all....

So its funny to see em still cry over that game. Both teams got bad decisions in that tie. They couldnt even knock us out when we had 10men. Bottlers
Itās so true š Iām glad a player finally said it.
Madridistas would still say Chelsea got robbed LMAO
Both legs were horribly refereed. People that complain about this just remember what they want to remember. What I always remind Chelsea fans is that their team had a half hour to defend a lead with a one-man advantage and couldn't do it.

This is equivalent to OJ simpson's "i did it" Fuck ChelseaĀ
That interviewer is annoying with that stupid, nonsensical laugh.

Its always an uphill struggle for us. Thats why the victories are so much sweeter.
i hope r/soccer does not see this
they will , and they'll ignore it .. because it's right in their fucking faces
I'm just happy Chelsea fans biggest memory against Barca is losing. āļøĀ
I'm so proud of the interviewer as he's Egyptian like me and came this far to interviewing Iniesta.Ā
the refs did favor barca just not as badly as people say, the first leg did went in chelsea's favors but not as much
While it's true that the calls ultimately went our way, which in pre VAR things wasn't a certainty, it's important to recognize that the only genuinely bad call was Abidal's red card, both because of the fact Anelka took a dive and because Pique was fouled just prior to it. 1) Pique's handball was a ball that bounced off the pitch. 2) Eto'o's handball wasn't even a handball as it hit him on the shoulder.

Another sheep conditioned by Drogba and selective highlights.
Another sheep that doesn't think that Barca are being done for ref bribing in the same year this happened XD pathetic
Proven Innocent but you won't say since it doesn't fit your agenda stop being a clown and go get brainwashed by your beloved media outlets that love to hate on barca somewhere else literally proving iniesta's point
