Copa Del Rey Final - Real Madrid vs Atletico de Madrid

KombuchaMshroom

Real Madrid never do themselves any favours by their actions when ever they lose.

Childish and pathetic behaviour from so many of their players and coaches

shrewdness

Spanish football is often rightly lauded but it can be extremely poor to watch when this sort of sh!te is going on.

Gabi made a complete show of himself, among others.

Yeah, that's pretty pathetic.

Even if he didn't connect (and I think he did) it was really dangerous play and worthy of a yellow card. If he hadn't already been booked there wouldn't have been too many complaints.

Spanish club football is an absolute joke, every game of any importance ends up being ruined by players acting like children and the referees being completely useless.

Total ****ing farce.

Straight kick out with intent. Red, imo.
But yeah, the feigned injury should be retrospectively punished or something. Otherwise this sh*t is going to go on and on and on.

this is almost uncomfortable viewing.

Get the boat, Atlethi have been just as bad tonight. Horrible game to watch and everything that is wrong with football on show in the last hour.

Spanish refs are also to blame for the state of the league, giving yellows and reds for hardly nothing

Farcical at this stage.

Wouldn't surprise me if there is trouble at the final whistle. As has been said, Real have no class whatsoever.

Other teams may have an odd outburst when things don't go their way. For Real, it's habitual.

Lol Gabi.
Was he even booked though? :S

Well we need to establish whether contact was made first, but yeah.

Yayyyy!

Carlop, mate, iirc you're not a diehard Atletico fan or anything but Congratulations! ! !:D

Delighted with that. Can't stand Real Madrid, Mourinho etc.

C'mon Atletico!

Jaysis. Disgraceful reffing and general gamemanship. Spanish club football is deplorable to say the least.

I didn't see any contact. Was just the wind that give Gabi his serious bloody nose or whatever.

First time in Mourinho's career he will end the season without a trophy.

I honestly get angry seing ****e like that from any team.

Play the ****ing game, stop rolling around like ****ing children with scraped knees every time you lose the ball, it's ruins the game.


Both sides tonight were pathetic for the last hour of football.

Bonkers match, very entertaining

Delighted with that! However it was a poor game for sportsmanship in the end, both teams were a disgrace at times, really over shadowed the game. Have been following atleti a bit lately so alls good

Thing is most, if not all, the negative antics of this will be whitewashed with Mourinho. There is a trend of his teams being awful losers at times and with the Spanish's crowd generally hating him, I'd wonder how much of any of the negatives won't be blamed on Mou. Scapegoat and handy one at that.

Delighted for Simeone.:)

HazDanz

Shocking game of football. No professionalism and no clean play. Play acting and toddler winging for the most part which resulted in me concluding that watching this was an absolute waste of time.

How are they to blame? Why not blame the people who make the laws?? Sure in spain, any handball is a yellow no matter what.
The refs are in a no win situation. Sure I blame the players, they never stop moaning at the ref non stop. Why cant it be just like rugby???
Delighted for atletico. But watching that was awful. Real players and staff have let themselves down. Pepe is an animal.

I got the impression there might have been, will need to see a closer replay.

Seaneh

Delighted for Atleti's fans, they are so often just also rans and for the passion of their fans they deserve to win something now an then, but tonight, for both teams, was a disgrace. The sad this is that every other spanish league or cup match of major significance, whether it's an El Clasico in the league or a random cup semi final, ends up deteriorating into the same bull**** as tonight.

Some of the best players in the world on the pitch tonight, some of the best paid players in the world, from two of the best supported teams in the world, and that resort to that ****e.

Do people not watch La Liga or something? This match hasn't been a huge amount worse than your typical in terms of antics.

I said Spanish Club football is a disgrace too. Actually I think most people implied this is a recurring facet of the farce that is Spanish football.

I watch about 3/4 matches per week, and while tonight's match wasn't out of the norm, it's just typical of Real to take it to the next level when things don't go their way.

It's the one thing I can't stand about La Liga, and no team is immune from it. I know it happens in most leagues, but it seems to be an art in Spain. Shame.

This exactly is it. When things aren't going Real Madrid's way they take it up a gear but its still plaguing the league as a whole.

Spainish football is European football's pantomime. Full of talent but acting like absolute imbeciles.

Between 2000 and 2002 at Benfica and União de Leiria he won absolutely nothing. He did really well with União de Leiria, but he won no trophies.

Real without Casillas in major finals: played 4, concede 8.

With Casillas: played 6, concede 0.

No that was Barca to Mourinho in the champions league semis when inter knocked out the spanish outfit which they were not too pleased about.

In 3 seasons, Thibaut Courtois has won Belgian League, Europa League, European Super Cup and Spanish Cup. At 21 the kid is doing alright for himself so far in his career!!

Looks a decent player.

I doubt any manager at this stage can give success that R. Madrid think they deserve. The club is rotten to the core with player power. It needs a big clean out of players which wont happen

16 yellow cards.

If Mourinho goes, who could replace him? Benitez? Pellegrini again? He didnt do a bad job tbf...

Considering how Pellegrini was sacked the last time I doubt he'd be eager to come back. Benitez or Ancelotti.

They need some structure imo. Mourinho is a very good manager but can be very divisive. They don't seem to have a team mentality
