Attack against defence for an hour now. Probably worth watching I'd say.

The ref was conned - that has to be one of the softest sendings off I have seen..

Busquets should hang his cheating head in shame.

Reaction wasn't good though, so fair fair.

It was blatant Drogba-esque theatrics huh. Reaction not good but if he hadn't been sent off through the con he'd never have reacted that way.

Still, makes for an interesting game - Inter are defending well. I'd like Inter to lose to Bayern in the final. I'm sick of all this Barca love.

He already had a yellow though, so he deserved to go.

Yeah, but the ref was mugged into giving him a straight red.

And if Busquets hadn't gone down as if he'd been ttted by Mike Tyson, then I'd question whether the 'hand-off' (if that's what it was) would have even earned him a free kick.

At the end of the day, why did he bring his hand up anyway?

So either way, maybe shouldn't, maybe should..

Motta raising his hand was a gift for Busquets, for sure. I'm not saying Motta was right in what he did, but Busquets' reaction was pathetic.

If I had wanted to watch this much cheesy acting, I'd have signed up to the Hallmark channel.

I seem to remember Busquets rolling around on the ground quite a lot when Barca played Arsenal in the previous round, the cheating !

Interesting piece of info about Inter from one of the commentators, Inter have been reduced to 9 men twice this season and in both games they got at least a draw out of the match so they might cope well going down to 10.

I agree!

This kind of football, usually an Italian team involved, ends up being dramtics for the whole thing, it does get very boring.

Especially with Inter trying to get as much stop play/fouls against as they can its worse.

This I also agree with.. He is, second best in the world, imo.

SAF (Being a ManU fan) is the best, I'd happily have Maureen has the successor to the throne there.

Barca are looking quite lackluster.. Is this because of Inter playing very good defense, or just Barca not having 'it' tonight.

Busquets does it every week in La Liga too! The play acting & cheating from both sides has been disgusting. It doesn't help when the ref is too weak to even see this.

Anyway, can't talk, grandstand finish in prospect!

Oh absolutely. All Bosman did was make teams tie players to long contracts in order to guarantee a fee.
