Mourinho: "Don't have anything to say about Pipo Vilanova or what's the name of that guy...."

Mournho: "Putting finger in eye of Tito Vilanova? I don't know any Pito Vilanova..."

Mourinho has changed since his Chelsea days :(

Not really, plenty of them were fouls that would have been give here too. Pepe probably would have seen red for that elbow leading block on Messi

I know, and I agree that Pepe and the lot go overboard a lot of times.. but at times I feel they have no other choice...If the Barca players aren't physically manhandled, its almost impossible to stop them! The only clean tactic to match Barca would be to outpace them...But that ends up tiring the players quickly...Like we saw what happened to Madrid in the 2nd half

Thats no excuse for that approach, so they cant complain when they penalised
 
It's all about mind games with him, hence why he doesn't go to press conferences pre Barce games anymore...

He thinks half the battle is winning the mental 'war', he's sort of losing his sanity over there in my opinion. The sooner he comes home to the Premier League the better, the task of taking on Barcelona has become an obsession and it's really taking over his life...

He's never 'failed' and if he doesn't win La Liga this season he will deem it as a failure and probably retire.

I think Pinto punched Ozil.

Latest rumours are that both Pinto AND Villa hit him...Dunno how true that is though...But that justifies his anger...Man, he looked like he was ready to take someone down...

EDIT:...Or it was that guy ^^^

Hard tackles are ok if you win the ball...but Madrid are going...for the player and are trying...to take them out of the game. Pepe should have been...sent off and he is like that every time...they play Barcelona. He is a great player... but a thug. How does hitting the gym prepare you for off the ball challenges. Madrid put the hard challenges in then when the foul is given against them they surround the referee and complain. If you are going to put in hard challenges you have to accept the decision.

How is surrounding the ref any different than rolling arround in floor? they were both trying to influence the ref for their own benefit. At least what real did is done by most teams when one of their players is booked.
And everyone seems to be forgeting that messi should have seen the yellow card as well. He could use some sportsmanship lessons.

No he didn't haha, that man restrained him after Villa slapped/hit him.

Watch the video back, he restrains Ozil.

I think it might have been a Joey Barton hit to the chest, a half push/punch.

Couldn't see Villa's hand hitting his face but he definitely hit Ozil somewhere.

That is the point I am trying to make. Both teams are as bad as each other. Real Madrid go over board with their tackles when Barcelona feel they need to play act to highlight what Madrid are doing.

Mate, I completely agree that Real are out of line a lot of times...but the way Barca players play-act really ****** me off...Pepe & Co. are known to be a rough guys...but all the Barca players are treated like they are saints (except Busquets)...And I think Messi is the worst that way....because he has the cleanest reputation, but everyone looks the other way when he does **** like kicking the ball into the crowd, and going after Marcelo today...

Yeah, I know haha. Somebody posted it on Twitter, so I posted it and although it didn't look like he did I thought it was a possibility, and then I watched the video and could see it was Villa who slapped him and that guy in the picture that restrained Ozil.
 
What Mourinho did was just weird, but I can understand what he was thinking...He was watching the whole thing from far for some time...and I think he saw Tito do something...so he just calmly walked over and eye-raked him (!!!)...Plus he has had reasons to be ****** with everything Barcelona for quite some time now
