Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich, 1-2

Yesterday Barcelona's arch rivals faced Bayern Munich away in the first round of the Champions League semifinals. There was certainly no shortage of drama - lots of diving by Ronaldo, Ozil, and Pepe and dangerous fouls by Ramos, Marcelo, and Coentrao (Surprise! You thought I was going to say Pepe, didn't you?), two penalties not given in favor of Bayern Munuch, plus a surprise goal from Ozil, whose foot just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

But Real Madrid still lost 2-1 thanks to a couple of little-known players named Ribery and Mario Gomez ;).

I'm sure Mourinho blames the refs.





Barcelona vs. Chelsea, 0-1


Maybe my boys weren't taking this game seriously enough?

We didn't do any better today in our game against Chelsea away. Didier Drogba dove so many times that Mascherano was laughing about it by the end, but he managed to score the only goal of the game. First we failed to create chances, and then we failed to capitalize on them. Alexis got very close with a shot off the crossbar, and Busi set up a brilliant combination with a backheel but we flubbed the finish. We were very successful at getting corners... just not at scoring from them against a much taller team. At least it never broke into the kind of vicious brawl that we're all too likely to see at the Clasico on Saturday.

Yep, Real Madrid and Barcelona are playing each other at the Camp Nou this weekend, and it's basically Barcelona's only chance to reduce RM's lead in La Liga. Fasten your seatbelts.
