Reports in Marca (& Twitter).



Quality player, complete @#%&! - if he is suspended for the final, it would mean Mascherano in midfield I think.... I'd £#%&!ing love it if he got sent off again

what did he say?

Sounds like something Heir Sullers would find funny.

Says it underneath

That'd be nice.

I don't suppose there is similar footage of Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta, Alves, Busquets, Messi and Keita, is there?

If he's done for it (doubt it) then wonder if Barca will sack him?

Written into there contracts that club can sack him, otherwise why put it there in the first place?

Keita's allowed to say it and Alves might be able to aswell. Hip hop taught me.

No chance Busquets will be suspended.

This is Barca ffs, one of UEFA's darlings. Remember 2009 at Stamford Bridge.

If anything they'll ban Rooney for what Busquets said.

if i hadn't resigned from my job i would be on a film shoot with messi today

just sent instructions to my former staff to take a scalpel to his achilles

Sack him? For that? A player worth millions and millions of Euro's? Yeah, right.

The same way an Irishman is allowed to refer to himself or another Irishman as Paddy

I actually am shocked, when you think of lads missing out in years gone by for honest challenges theyve been very complacent letting this one go imo. You can go on about can of worms etc and assume Id only like the guy banned because theyre playing us, but I just cannot for one second believe that a player from an English club would have escaped a ban here.

"Monkey monkey" - ffs.

Kick racism out of football, or not....

You're right of course. But it's no shock.

Agreed. Yet it's no surprise when you see clubs being fined a few thousand euros for constant racist chanting yet tens of thousands for much smaller offences.

UEFA = :£#%&!er:

Its got to be viewed as worse than smacking an opposition player.

The evidence right there. Imagine Joey Barton did something like that, hed be off to Shutter Island.
