Let's face it. How many of us has seen a million dollars in our lives? I can take a guess and say no one.
But you know that what's the difference between a Milan-Bayern or Chelsea-Bayern and a Madrid-Barca final? I can take another guess and say at least 100-200 Million dollars.
That's why you see Uefa uses the minimum amount of legitimacy needed to make things go Barca way.
Draws? they can fix it and it will still be fair. All the bigger teams given the second game in their home? still fair.
Fouls given to Barca? Last year Pepe, the smallest foul you can give a red card to, so what does Uefa do? Tell referees to be as strict as they can, and Barca will benefit that even if they don't want to, because they have players that can keep possession and are really great individualists. Favors Barca? Yes. Unfair? No. You can't go and say why you did that because they will show you the rulebook, and even if such things never happens in other places it will for Barca and it still will be fair and just.
What hurts me and should hurt other Italian teams fans too is that because of the shitty financial situation and the fucking Calciopoli Italy is not regarded as a top club country like England and Spain, and unfortunately Arenas in Italy are nut full always like Germany, so we have to suck that up.
I can easily see any other 50-50 Barca game go to to Barca. You need to score a lot to be sure you won't get fucked, like Inter did in 2010 ( they tried to fuck them with that disgraceful red card but Inter manned up).
I'm happy that Barca and the whole ticky takka beautiful football bullshit of theirs needed a big ref mistake, a big Mexes mistake and a lucky deflection to survive, and am happy that we scored the only non-bullshit goal of the tie.
