Copa Del Rey Final - Real Madrid vs Atletico de Madrid

Morzadec

vs

The final of the Spanish Cup tonight sees Madrid's two biggest teams go head to head.

I'm really struggling to imagine a way Atleti can win this one. Their record against Madrid is so poor, and Madrid have home advantage too.

That said, I wouldn't have given Wigan a hope against City.

Football can be full of surprises.

Lets hope tonight is one of them.

Aupa Atleti!

I'd love Atletico to do it tonight. But they always fall short against real

klose

Pepe not even on the bench, wonder how albiol will fair with falcao.

deise48

varane will go on to be one of the worlds best defenders imo

Professional Griefer

Ronny!

ollie1

Great header from Ronaldo

Johner

What a header! Welcome to Chelsea. :pac:

klose

1-1 costa! Great work by falcao in the build up, proper derby stuff.

Liam O

Well there's probably the best goal line clearance I've ever seen.

Duck Soup

How didn't that go in?

Amirani

I've no idea how this is still 1-1. Real have bossed this second half.

klose

Think the ref is losing the game here

Professey Chin

Everything been given to Atletico now

Amirani

That's perhaps the last time Mourinho will sit on the Madrid bench.

klose

Yep, ref has lost it. Everything is been given

Turtwig

Did Ronnie lash out there?
Or was it accidental?

Edit :Wow that's twice now.

Duck Soup

Any word on what got Mourinho 'sent off'? Simeone's been out of his box - both metaphorically and literally - for most of the game. It can't be simply stepping outside the technical area once. José, I assume, had some smart comment to make to the ref. Mind you, the ref's proving to be a bit of a basket-case, so it may have been something made out of nothing by him.

It was stuff he said alright.

Law of averages. :pac:

Great save from Courtois.

RoryMac

Some save there!!

retalivity

jaysus great save

Duck Soup

Not Real's night.

Amirani

Courtois is fantastic. I think Chelsea should consider replacing Cech next season.

missingtime

Chelsea fans, hold onto Courtois

ollie1

Ronaldo sent off

retalivity

lol wtf

Mikeyt086

Would love to see Pepe and Diego Simeone have a scrap.

Turtwig

That red was coming. Ronnie lost the head ages ago.
Ahh Pepe, you just have to join in don't ya.

Headshot

Its why i hate the league alot, grown men falling to the ground like they are shot

Yes it happens in other leagues but La Liga is the prime leader in the category

Duck Soup

It's officially gone mental.

missingtime

Pepe is a nasty piece of work.

Turtwig

Getting very ugly.:(
Courtois hit by a missile .

Seaneh

Absolutely farcical officiating, the players are no better.
Only slightly less of a joke than the typical El Clasico match.

wonderboysam

takes a brave man to throw a punch at pepe!

CSF

Pepe being Pepe. I thought the Ronaldo incident was a red even though Gabi did not cover himself in glory.

SlickRic

pathetic antics from everyone.

awful advert for Spanish football this...from the ref, to the players, subs and coaches.

Havermeyer

Pathetic from Gabi.

You'd swear he was hit with a .50 cal in the face.

Seaneh

Gabi taking the absolute mick here, he fouled Ronaldo and then threw himself on the ground and rolled around as if he'd been shot and he wasn't fecking touched.

Duck Soup

I don't think Ronaldo's boot connected - although that's largely irrelevant to whether Ronaldo gets sent off - with the Atletico player at all. A fresh air boot out and the guy goes down like he's pole-axed. Then the whole place goes ballistic. Nasty, cynical stuff all round.

Guy:Incognito

Spanish football has more head injuries than the NFL :-)

klose

Crazy scenes

SlickRic

this has gone mental.

the appeals there are utterly pathetic.

Duck Soup

This could go into overdrive at the final whistle.

It was the wind created. . .

Yeah, that's pretty pathetic.

Dolph Starbeam

Real Madrid have absolutely zero class. They're a disgrace of club.

RoryMac

Jaysus who'd want to be a referee
