Yes he did. He was also not against being pragmatic when it was warranted.
There is a difference between pragmatism and shithouse football.
Both sides acted like a gang of tarts and all but a couple of players can leave the field of play with any dignity.
But one side went to play football. And one went to defend like dogs and a couple Pepe being one of them went to kick the shit out of the opponents.
Barca play the best football in the world, they are a gang of tarts, but lovely to watch.
You are fucking blind to it, but Real Madrid, their manager, their players, are fucking vile.
Their football replicates it.
They were "found out" tonight. No lump in the middle of the park and the sainted Jose and co can't stop Barca.
