Liverpool Destroy Real Madrid to reach Champions League Quarters

Ok. I admit Real Madrid were lucky to have got the win against Atletico Madrid last weekend. Atletico had plenty of chances but wasted them, probably had a penalty claim too. Real Madrid did not attack well in that game and scored off probably their only chance in the game but THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE REFEREE HAS TO BE BIASED AGAINST REAL MADRID in CHAMPIONS LEAGUE against LIVERPOOL!!!!!.

What the hell was wrong with the referee mate!!!!! seemed to me more like drunked rather than blind. Holy smokes, yes Real Madrid attacking and defending skills were not at best this night but where did that referee come from. 2 goals for liverpool in the first half, all because of the biased referee. Please refer to my pervious posts as I rarely go on a rant against the referee but this is just insane.

First goal, Torres (the ultimate anti Real Madrid) runs for a loose ball with Cannavaro and Pepe. Cannavaro gets beaten because of his old age. As soon as Pepe is about to clear the ball which was about to land infront of him. Torres tucks him from the back and then nails his studs on Pepe’s calves. The refree does not see this, I do not know how the hell did the referee miss that.

Torres was probably pissed at what Pepe did to him in the first leg, but the referee is not supposed to do things like that. Second goal, the ball clearly strikes Heinze on the shoulder and the linesman gives a penalty. Even the Liverpool players seemed perplexed. The linesman got under pressure from the barking that the Liverpool crowd were doing and gave it as a penalty.

Ok. Liverpool deserved to be infront anyway, if it was not for Casillas but that is why Casillas is the best in the world and I think, the referee thought, “well, Liverpool are not going to beat Casillas this way, let me just give them a helping hand here by being a good samaritan”.

Gerrard took the penalty with DIGNITY and Liverpool could not believe there luck. I cannot believe this ludicrous, unbelievable, laughable, silly, outlandish, unreasonable piece of refereeing seen in recent times. These two unfair goals really knocked the stuffing out of Real Madrid.

After that, Real Madrid looked down, disorganised, did not know what hit them and really, did not know what to do once they got to Liverpool’s half. The defense was non existent. Liverpool defended well and hit Real Madrid time and time again on the counter attack. Gerrard scored the 3rd and it was a wonder strike. Questions there too on Real Madrid’s defense. How in the world, Gerrard was allowed to run into the box that freely and no one close to him when he struck the ball.

Liverpool did not stop there and really massacred Real Madrid. Babel got the ball in an advanced midfield position, Real Madrid’s defense was in tatters. The ball was crossed to A. Dossena who scored the 4rth goal.

Very disappointing night for Real Madrid. We could not win at home nor away (due to some unexpected referee behavior). With that said, if it was not for Casillas, Real Madrid could have lost by 6-0 7-0 at anfield. So whats gone is gone and now we should focus on the league.

This is I think the fifth straight year that Real Madrid have not progressed beyond the round of 16. Which is a bit disappointing to see. The one conquerors of Europe are now being humiliated at home and away.

Juande Ramos is great and so was Schuster but I think, Real Madrid’s real problem lies in Champions League. That is where I thought we should have never sacked Capello. If it feels any good to any Real Madrid supporter (like myself), reports in Italy say that Jose Mourinho has lost it against the Italian media and is now looking to move to Real Madrid and could bring along Ibrahamovic, who according to Ibra’s agent can score 40 goals every season in Spain.

The problem for me lies in the way football is played in Spain. Its slower and technical. In England it is fast, tactical and physical. Real Madrid just cannot compete with English teams. Even in the past, Real Madrid could not cope with fast physical teams but back then, we had Zidane and Ronaldo to do our bidding in attack.

So now it has changed. Barcelona’s case is different. They have some of the best talents this world has ever seen, so it does not matter if they play fast or slow. For me, Real Madrid just cannot go out and break the bank to give birth to another Galacticos.

For me, we should bring in physical players like Diarra and introduce a new system, under which Real Madrid players strengthen themselves not only to compete in La liga but for Champions League as well and for that, I say, either we get Capello or Mourinho.

But that’s a talk for some other time. Right now, we need to stand behind Real Madrid in these turbulent times when Real Madrid are out of the Champions League in the round of 16 for the 5fth straight year and are a massive 6 points behind Barcelona in the league.

Whatever happens from now till the end of the season, I think, some major changes must take place at Real Madrid.

HALA MADRID!!!.

Oh yeah, just for the record. Liverpool 5-0 Real Madrid. I am so depressed. Do not know how am I going to get working tomorrow.
