Yes, it would be schadenfreude, a word the Germans don't seem to have an equivalent for. Here's more on my opinions on the man.

His haircut is still the height of fashion over there, and with a prolific clutch of strikers like Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy and Kuyt he'd be the best finisher at the club by a distance.

Expect every award to go a Man U, Arsenal or Liverpool player though regardless of how good the other players and goals were!

Care to explain? Name me one Barca player who is dirtier than Pepe, Ramos, Diarra or the wee Brazilian full back whose name escapes me at the moment?

More of a diver than Di Maria?

More classless than Mourinho?

Barca coped quite well with the shocking antics of Drogba last night. Imagine the English media had Drogba been a Barca player?

Marcelo the full back?

Drogba last night was shocking and full credit to Barca for playing on.
