Yeah and it caused a huge shit stink amongst the reat of the La Liga too who felt that it was favouritism.
I totally agree with the Champions League being flawed too. I really detested the methods Liverpool used to get to the final. At least Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea tried to win matches, Liverpool simply sat and defended and bored me to death. I think the fact that the goal that got them to the final didn't even come close to crossing the line makes a sham of the CL.
