Champions League Semi-Finals

State run? Financed by the Spanish Government - rumoured.

Crap

Real are owned by their fans as far as I know.

The official line is:

Real Madrid are one of the last major fan-owned clubs in world football. The Spanish giants are not owned by any corporation, individual, or consortium. Instead, fans can purchase membership in the club. Members are known as "socios" and pay a small per-year fee of €150 for membership

Not jealous of them. Like I live benzema and Vinicius and modric. Just don’t like the club. Never did. Goes back to the galacticos or further even.

Hmm - ok - still waiting on a genuine reason beyond jealousy.

I mean they have had so many great sides. They have won 14 European cups. I get it- the green eyed monster but beyond that. I just don’t see it has much validity

[teesred]

I was about to ask tees this same question..

Why the hate? What makes Real a horrid club? Is it their success? Is it that they treat us like we treat Southampton?

I mean what is so much better about Liverpool FC by comparison?

Their arrogance. Theyve always had a sense of entitlement both fans and hierarchy of the club in my opinion. Dislike a lot of their players too.
Fergie was bang on when he said he wouldn't sell them a virus.

[Steveo]

Hmmm..
Ok fellas.

Fergie…? WTF…. Sure he was an honourable soul wasn’t he.

Not jealous of them. They’re cunts. I associate them as the same dose in Spain as United are in England. Wouldn’t swap what we are for what they are club wise.

Fair enough. I think.. 😉

I will be supporting them tonight and in the next leg.

That's what I think too. I'm not jealous I just dislike them massively. There's no denying their quality that's amassed a total that will never be caught.
Some on here despise Barca, I don't. I like them despite them nicking a few of our players.

[Steveo]

Do you not think many see us as entitled? Don’t clubs that enjoy success always display more entitlement than those who don’t?

They do for sure. We are entitled though as fans. You can see that by how crap the atmosphere can be at anfield when we aren’t challenging or playing poorly. That’s the hypocrisy of football on display.
