I hope Mr. WEBB watched the match after and judged for­ himself. He should act accordingly. He should be given­ the whistle again so that he can continue what he­ started.

Premier ligue refs should consider waching and learning­ the real footbal in order to referee international­ maches. Mr Webb is one of the English best refs but he­ makes poor jugements. Now the Barca manager (who­ reacted to his poor refering) will be missing on the­ bech, and Messi a ridiculous yellow...

If the English­ premier ligue was the best in the world, we sould have­ seen top players like Maradona, M van Basten, Zidan,­ Ronaldo, Rivaldo... the list is too long.
* Compare the­ amount of world cup winners (players) playing in spain­ or Italy to England to have an idea of the true best­ ligue. The pace of the premier ligue doesn't make­ it the best. The is only one reason top English players­ are not going to play in top ligues. MONEY! BEST LIGUES­ IN THE WORLD HAVE BEST NATIONAL TEAMS. Even Russia is­ more enjoyable to watch than England. They are a unit­ of great players; not some product of the media­ publicity.

The lack of English players in Spain and the large­ numbers of spanish players in the Premiership suggests­ which league the players think is best. You cannot deny­ that Lampard, Rooney, Gerrard and Terry are good enough­ to play in the Spanish league yet they have no desire­ to step down a division. Beckham and Mcmanaman played­ in spain as age caught up with them and the pace of the­ premier league got too much yet Beckham inspired Real­ (eventually) to a league title and Mcmanaman won two­ European cups(the same number as Barcelona in their­ history). The premier league is full of youth and pace­ for swansong stars topping up their tans catch La liga.

No Spaniards in ManU or Chelsea.

some EPL fans don't really anything about football­ or are blind the best team in priemer league LIVERPOOL­ can't breath well with out spanish players in all­ possion even their couch but no english player in la­ liga I will tell you why Espania won last euro but­ England didn't qualify against Croutia think of­ this if liverpool vs barca 6 spanish with barca and 5­ with liverpool only Gerard english on the pitch

some of them compair EPL with la liga no way la liga is­ far better with its world class stars don't forget­ that ronaldo the first player from EPL to win best­ player of the year while la liga 11 times in last 19­ years of the FIFA prize Romario 1994 Ronaldo 1996,1997­ Rivaldo 1999 FIGO 2000 Ronaldinho 2004,2005 this year­ Messi this are only in barca while real Ronaldo 2002­ Zidan 2003 and Canavaro 2006 so EPL FANS SHUT YOUR @#$%

One team that can beat Barca is Chelsea,

What did they say about Messi, they said Pep will not­ sit on the bench, but nothing about Messi

Messi is from Argentina and Henry is French. Disphit

Sorry Tim, I still think of Mini's as English­ through they are created by a German company,­ Strawberrys and cream are still English though the­ strawberries may have been picked by eastern European­ and I still love a traditional English chicken Tikka­ Masala after a night out drinking continental lager.­ English football clubs are part of the fabric of­ English society and nobody can take that away from us!

Ahhhhh blast! i wish they accepted the appeal for­ messi...guardiola has no excuse as his reaction was out­ of proportions! anywho at the moment barcelona are­ truly untouchable and i cant see any team beating­ them...the english teams are magnificent but i would­ still bet my money on the blaugrana...VISCA ELBARCA

And England isn't the home of Football, and Messi­ and Henry are both Spanish, lol.

Get over it Tim, it­ is the same with foriegn players in every league, it is­ just that most 'want' to play their Football in­ the home of the game. Not dusty 2 club Spain.

#25, There is a possibility that NO English club will­ make the CL final. FYI, 80% of Manchester­ United,Liverpool,Chelsea and Arsenal starters are NOT­ English. All four EPL clubs' managers and owners­ are NOT English. So enough with this English this or­ that. The EPL is English in name only !!

Thank goodness English clubs are dominating the­ Champions League, if this continues we can spare the­ blushes of English referees by making them illegible­ from the semi's and final this year at least.

the stupd refree did a stupid mistak.messi is not­ ronaldo.he just play he aint cheat.cause he is already­ genius.uefa must do something.the world want to watch­ messi in every game.long live to the best boy.for your­ surprise me and messi were born on the same day on the­ same year.i am very lucky i celebrate my birthday with­ messssssi!!!!

barcelona este o super echipa o ador! messi este cel­ mai tare!!!

Webb should retire

daveolah, gedeon.joly what on earth r u doing in a­ barcelona page...i bet u r gonna die with envy and i­ really pity u...unlike the white muppets who got their­ as'ses kicked at anfield...elbarca is reaching the­ semis for the SECOND CONSECUTIVE season and they r­ tipped to win it...if mads'hit is eliminated in the­ KO stages again they should rather aim for the uefa cup­ and compete with man city and psg...VISCA ELBARCA

Titus; I totally agree with you. Barça did NOT need the­ penalty and could have scored more goals in the second­ half. I'm just pissed at those Madrid scum who­ should be more concerned with their own club !!

Yes TIM, I Agree. TO HELL WITH MADRID.
just to add, Do­ you really think Barca needed the penalty? After the­ incident, we scored 2 more goals. they kicked messi­ andf Eto'o, even hammered Messi in the face with an­ elbow, he still got up and ran circles around the­ German defence. Bayern should be grateful we felt sorry­ for them, because we had 45 more minutes to score 4­ more goals, but Barca was in a generous charitable­ mood, afterall, its Easter.
