They are intelligent and professional players, with good discipline ya, it was just...the general vibe many people got from them. They didn't seem fired up and motivated, as opposed to say playing against RM or Milan. Espanyol is no easy opponent and i wish they treated them with almost as much fire and motivation as they did Madrid.
To me it was bad, maybe not as horrid as can be, but for this Barca squad and for these players, very much below-par :( Maybe they all got the flu or sumthing. Valdes had it, Messi still had it last game.. Props to Espanyol for playing so well.

Oh i know what you meant, don't worry! I saw people mentioning the racist chants, i couldn't tell among the noise during the game as i don't speak Spanish, that's beyond disappointing :(. I think they (the Spanish footie organizations) in general can't be bothered to wipe it out, they'd have to deny entrance to ticket-holders and lose some $$$, god knows they don't want that to happen. Sigh.
