Of course it was a penalty. He made no attempt to tackle, he didn't even stand in front. He came in from the side and jumped into him and his path.

Why can't you have two penalties if they are both legit. FFS!

Zambrotta is right footed

I think united just cannot get near the ball to be attacking

unfortunately barca on current form may not be good enough to punish them as they deserve

Milito is a moron. Amazing how $h!t he's been at Barcelona lately.

Ronaldo may show up in the second half and he may actually score from a FK from 40 yards away but I think he needs to get over himself a bit

Do you think Messi is special now?

You CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

Ronaldo is too selfish, and his attempt to shut up critics (I don't know who in particular) are way over the top - which was the cause of his missed pen.

Rooney & Tevez need to switch positions.

Barca are far too static to take full advantage, a lot of passing but not enough moving.

Sure you can have them, IF they are legit. If anything, it was Ronaldo who put his arm in front of Marquez first. In fact, if Marquez stood in front it then would have been a penalty because Ronaldo would have fallen off-balance.

That tackle was the very definition of 50-50. If refs start giving penalties for that then we'll have to re-open the debate about whether football is a non-contact sport.

Really? well he always brings the ball back onto his left....

Either way, Barca needs to cross it more.
