    @Michael Myers I remember when Wesley Sneijder joined Real Madrid. I was so excited, so excited that when I started playing this popular online game called Runescape around that time in 2007, I created my username as "Sneijder 23" (his Jersey number). And still to this day it's my log in username.

    What?
    Maybe before i started watching barca 2010, but since then, barca has Ruled spanish football with an iron fist. Champions league wise Madrid has won 2 since then but the last one was phenomenal bottling by the superior side.


    Hatred of Madrid is a part of Barcelona culture . It goes back to the feud between catalonia and spain. It's more political than you think.


    Most people hate them because they represent the aristocracy which has a type of arrogance that really can't be considered 'confidence'. Most of Madrid fans like to boast about the 11 'champions league' wins, without conceding that the first 5 and were won in an era where Madrid were essentially the Spanish Bayern due to their financial advantage in Spain and Europe (them being the aristocrats). Or the 11-1 loss where the Spanish dictator at the time threatened the players before the match in order to demoralize the catalans fighting for independence.

    I personally dislike madrid as a brand because they represent aristocracy.
    And i dislike Madrid fans because half of them are defective Man U fans who love putting ronaldo above the team. And CR7 is VERY overrated.

    I am a fan of most Madrid players like Modric and Marcelo (even pepe has been pretty good last year) , but when Ramos , Modric, Kross, Bale, Marcelo and Pepe etc have one of the best years in their career, and the spotlight and almost all of the credit is thrown onto some arrogant , penalty taking underwear merchant , i'm surprised Madrid players aren't furious that the quality of their team is being undermined by this overrated individualist who gets the benefit of playing in that team.

    I had Barca cruising through this but it's still apparent their midfield is still very inexistant and Sergi is a liability in that fullback position.

    More credit to PSG's press resistant midfield duo of Rabiot & Verratti drifting through the lines like ghosts and maintaining their shape. Matuidi does a brilliant job of hounding whoever has possession. Needless to say Draxler & Di Maria have been inspired today, just as I'm typing this Paris scored the 3rd...

    I'm really glad they are doing so well in the CL even without Ibrahimovic. They are really good right now.

    Tomorrow's gonna be a b----, Napoli is really in-form right now with those 3 tiny men up front. Need to get a good result.

    Bayern vs Arsenal could either go 2 ways; classic Gunners meltdown and conceding multiple goals only to nearly manage it in the return leg or it will be a tight game. I'm expecting the former tbh
