Everyone is mocking Real Madrid & Ronaldo's dressing room picture
Apr 11, 2016 10:15:00 Main

Cristiano Ronaldo's attention-grabbing pose in the post-Clasico celebrations has inspired Dutch teams Almere City FC and female outfit Dussense Boys
EXTRA TIME
By now you will be very familiar with Real Madrid's excitable celebration picture in the aftermath of their win over Barcelona in the Clasico.

A lot of unclothedness, a lot of tensing of muscles and not a lot of clothes, and that was just Cristiano Ronaldo as his team-mates, most still kitted out, enjoyed a comeback victory with 10 men over their rivals.



Well, it will come as no surprise that some have decided to imitate the celebration, with particular focus on the attention-grabbing Ronaldo.

Here are Dutch teams Almere City FC - with the Dutch Ronaldo sporting with a very portly belly - and the female outfit of Dussense Boys...





That's the internet for you...

Vidal,matheiu ,vermalen,rafinha and lord douglas all out...

Its only in the EPL a team can continually win 3points with a 1nil score up to 20%of games...mou did it with Chelsea ...ranieri currently doing it..says a lot about the quality of the league all round...big time shitty...and they called that most interesting league... Boring boring boring

I wonder how a proud man u Chelsea or gunner fan can have reasons to troll barca other than hate!!!profound hate...when leciester city currently leading Sunderland are leading the league and their teams with 13points upwards... I mean its laughable...how much does the Leicester team go home with...3 players from city man u and Chelsea can pay their whole team every week..Rooney ozil yaya and terryweekly take home!!!what a shame....as I said earlier... Fans of such teams already are frustrated.....they breathe frustration daily

Technically what haters fail to realize is barca can still afford to finish on the same points with any of the Madrid sides and still would win the league...its time for focus on wed as pique said...that is like a final ...biggest game of the season at the Calderon...happy for the extra day rest... How badly the team needs rest ryt now..

The harder the battle the sweeter the victory...u need not argue with strugglers and trophyless fans...they already have frustration as their companion

Just smiling with all the trolling....time would tell...viva blaugrana

But this happens it has happend before in Bernabeu in 2011 Real vs Tottenham when Crouch made took two fast yellow cards.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Torres made a late lunge to Iniesta even before the 2nd yellow card, that one went unpunished. He made no intent to play the ball in the second yellow card and ref made the right call. Atleti were lucky not to be down to 9 men - the ref only gave a yellow to Lucas when he lunged dangerously at Neymar to let him go through on goal. The spanish commentators were making it quite clear that it was worthy of a direct red.

The former Manchester United man had little sympathy for the striker after his first-half dismissal and felt he let his side down badly as they let slip the lead to lose 2-1


Rio Ferdinand has criticised Fernando Torres after the Atletico Madrid striker was sent off during his side’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg defeat to Barcelona.

The striker scored the opener to stun the hosts at Camp Nou but was given his marching orders after just 35 minutes after picking up a second yellow card for a clumsy foul on Sergio Busquets.

Barcelona went on to win the game against the 10-men of Atletico, with Luis Suarez scoring twice in the second half, and Ferdinand had no sympathy for Torres after the game.

"Tonight he was a disgrace really. He'll be embarrassed, he's let them down,”he told BT Sport.

“He's on a yellow already, why give the referee the opportunity to even think about giving him the yellow card? As a manager you destroy him in the changing room after."

With Tuesday's win against Atletico Madrid, the Catalan giants continue a formidable record of European victories on home turf, their best in the competition's history


Luis Enrique's Barcelona side continue to pull up trees as they recovered from a loss in the Clasico by beating Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

It means that the young coach's 100 percent home record in the competition with the Catalan giants continues with an 11th win out of 11 games (with 29 goals scored and six conceded in the process).




Those 11 consecutive victories at Camp Nou is the best such run that Barca have ever put together in the competition's history and it could easily become 12 after they put themselves in a strong position to book another home game in the semi-finals as well.

Segadem:
[size=16pt]barca can't win tough match without the assistance of referees[/size]

...hater lool...go bacj to last season ucl games

Catalans leave these haterzzz..the more response they get they feel relevant...so many of them would be going to bed sad tonyt...

ViVaMadrid:
Suarez the vampire should have followed Torres out of the game in the 1st half, but how would that have been possible when they are UEFALONA

Then you suddenly go dumb on the other reds that atm shud av gotten hater!!!!!!

AdeLaNa1:
As a matter of fact, NO! Torres didn't show his studs or dive recklessly into the tackle. And considering he was already on a yellow card, the ref could ve done better than giving Barca the advantage when there was still over an hour of football left to play. But what do i know.....right??

The rules are clearly stated...its up to the ref to apply them at any moment in a game...blame toress and simeone the assassin who instructed them to fight n not play football

The bitter truth is no team has consistently beating atm since that 2014ucl final loss...loved the fighting spirit.finally put an end to the curse of that jersey colour in a big game..uefa are just funny clowns

Removal of rakitic shouldn't have been felt if Roberto was brought in
That's y d argument persist on why was Arda signed??Enrique personally signed Arda and that clouds his judgement right now... Hoping it is a one off judgemental error...

Dani Alves issues message of peace following Clasico loss
Apr 3, 2016 14:52:00 Main

The Barcelona defender says there is more to life than just football in a deep post on his Instagram account following his side's defeat against Real Madrid on Saturday
EXTRA TIME
Clasico meetings are renowned for their tempestuous and bitter nature, thus Dani Alves' serene response in the wake of Barcelona's 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid is something of a refreshing surprise.

Most footballers found on the losing side of such a huge encounter would either hide themselves away or post a thought or two apologising to supporters, but not the Blaugrana's right-back.

Instead Alves has released a thought-provoking message on his Instagram account stating his desire to help promote peace from a position he feels few are lucky to reach.

The Brazilian, who wore a shirt with the words 'Peace in the world please' before kick off, says there is more to his life than being a footballer and just wants to be respected as a human being.

"I live for something more than just being a football player. I do not want applause, you can whistle at me and I'll always be ready,” Alves' message read.
"My legacy in this world is to do my part for the lives of others. People have a right to live peacefully and unfortunately not everyone gets the chance to enjoy this right.

"Football will always be football, people played yesterday, we played today and tomorrow there will be others. I don't want to be judged by how good I am in each game, I just want to be a human being who thinks of other human beings independent of what happens in my professional life. I will always be prepared for whatever comes."

Am more focused on titles not one game..if the messi era can give us 3-4league titles more and 2UCL..would be so so glad..

Suddenly all the madshit fans crawl from their caves...I feel its better losing the unbeaten to a big rival than to las Palmas..this defeat should spur us on...no excuses like Enrique said...don't understand how u can troll a team like barca...if any team shud b above trolling...it should be barca for all they ve done in football for like 10-11yrs
Attention should quickly shift to ATM...yes we av a big advantage over both Madrid teams...7 and 8points...but a bad game in d UCL could mar our season...worrried ryt now about alba conditioning n injury for nxtomoro game...viva barca... Double Treble dream on course

The Barcelona legend will depart Camp Nou this summer after the Spanish champions' greatest rivals activated his €250 million buy-out clause
EXCLUSIVE
Lionel Messi has left Barcelona in turmoil by agreeing to join Real Madrid at the end of the season in a record-breaking five-year deal that will be worth around half a billion euros.

The Argentine forward, winner of five Ballon d'Or awards and considered one of the greatest players of all time, will cost Madrid €250m to buy and approximately the same again in agent fees, commissions and wages.

The move was announced directly before Saturday's Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu in what appears to have been a deliberate move to destabilise the Liga leaders.

Messi, who joined Barcelona as a 13-year-old, explained that money was the only factor driving his move.

"With Financial Fair Play, Barcelona could not give me what I wanted and deserved," the 28-year-old said at the pre-match press conference.

"I recommended they fund my contract by selling the Camp Nou, but for some reason they valued the club more than me.

"When I learned this, I was heartbroken and our relationship was finished.

"A man of my status should have a 2000-metre long mega-yacht, staffed and powered at all times. Like [Roman] Abramovich. The purchase and operating costs alone demand that I take home €50m per year after tax. Minimum. Is that too much to ask?"



However, Goal correspondent Garry McGarry obtained exclusive information hinting at other reasons for the move.

"Gerard Pique kept beating Messi at Fifa," McGarry explained in a series of poorly-worded tweets. "Messi hates to lose and became angered when the club refused to replace Pique's left hand with a pirate's hook.

"That was it for the ‘little dictator’, and he has done the unthinkable."

Sources in Madrid have indicated that Messi has also been offered the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, "when we get it back after Britain leaves the EU", information which was not confirmed or denied by the Messi camp.

In an official statement released by Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo said he was delighted to welcome Messi aboard and that he was "looking forward to receiving his support from the wing".

Barcelona, meanwhile, continue to be beset by financial difficulties but are expected to replace Messi with Leicester City's Jamie Vardy, who will be mentored by Uruguay star Luis Suarez.

Happy April 1st!
