Give examples of big clubs (i don't care about economic problems of low teams) that have more pressure than barça in their country. Remember that we have Madrid (the team with most titles in football) mourniho (the biggest disgrace for football) and pro madrid press (the biggest disgrace for trolling)

The 5 biggest Greek FCs face much more pressure than Barca does,believe you me. Of course that doesn't mean they cope.
Italian clubs are the same.
Bayern Munchen can't possibly be carefree, loosing a league they play alone in.
The list goes on.
If these aren't what YOU consider big clubs, tough luck.

Pao fans you won't taste it muahahhahahahahahh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great master it is an honour to even consider our humble club as a potential contender.

Congrats BTW, well deserved.
I hope it will be the last.

Barcelona soccer celebrations turn violent

AP – BARCELONA, Spain – Street parties in Barcelona celebrating the victory of the city's soccer team in the Champions League final turned violent early Sunday and at least 18 people were hospitalized, according to local media reports.

Police said more than 80 people were arrested after revelers attacked officers with bottles, flares and other objects, and destroyed park benches and bus stops. The scuffles broke out hours after Barcelona beat Manchester United 3-1 at Wembley Stadium in England on Saturday night. About 50,000 people flooded the streets of Barcelona to celebrate.

A police officer was among those hospitalized. AP photographs show plainclothes police officers, who were wearing Barcelona jerseys to blend in with the crowds, making arrests. More than 100 other people were hurt, but they didn't require hospitalization and were treated at the scene by paramedics for cuts and bruises.

An unnamed 17-year-old woman died accidentally when she slipped and fell into a deep hole beside a fountain while celebrating the win in the northwestern town of Santa Comba, local newspaper La Voz de Galicia reported.

Soccer fans had poured shampoo into the fountain to create bubbles, which concealed an uncovered manhole that led to the fountain's pump, the paper said.

The team was expected to arrive in Barcelona with the Champions League trophy Saturday afternoon, with tens of thousands of fans expected to line the streets to celebrate the victory. The festivities will culminate at the 98,000-seat Camp Nou Stadium at around 9 p.m. (1900 GMT, 3 p.m. EDT), the club said in a statement.

Well, apart from the fact of the girl's unfortunate death, this is a pretty good way to celebrate.
I wonder what the connection with Friday's events and the whole Democracia Real thing is.

You have no idea what pressure means.
Stick to the things you know about.

Team USA was aggressive tonight as the beating from Spain on a recent friendly ignited the spirits of the team.

I'll just give you a couple of clues.
Have the players and coach of your precious Barca ever had their cars smashed in front of their club's training facilities by the fans of their own team?
Have their wives ever been attacked or threatened by fans?

How many sports papers do you have in Spain?
Here in Greece, they are too many to count.Most clubs with a decent fanbase have at least one.Major clubs have 2-3.Let alone the "impartial" ones.

Lastly (and i won't go much into this), what is the relationship between sports and politics in your country? In Greece up until recently the vendetta between PAO and Olympiacos was reflected in the struggle between the two major Greek parties...

Look Kwijibo, you obviously live in your own little world, where everything that concerns Barca is bigger than life itself. I give up trying to ruin it for you.

Imo u don't know much about Spanish football. First of all barça have the pressure of the tittles. We have to win all the tittles every year or it's a failure. We have to win champions league every year you know it? We have more than 6-7 newspaper between Real Madrid & Fc Barceloan and every team has got their own Newspaper. The some of our played has been hitted like messi 1 week ago. Valdes was hit by Ultrasur in the bernabeu. And about politic u msut learn a lot between barcelona & Madrid 2 antagonist

I believe i know more about Spanish fb than you know about Greek.
You can't compare the level of violence in sports between the two countries, to do so would be delusional.
Neither Barca nor Real decide on who will rule the country.
Olympiacos did.
As i said Franco is long gone.
Lastly, i repeat you live in your own azulgrana world and have no idea what goes on outside.
It is only natural if it feels like the "bold and the beautiful".
