Wow, how amazing. They did it again. They're my heroes.
We all know spanish sport press is shit, biased and only an idiot would read/believe them. But seems that Barcelona latest triumphs are upsetting some people in the capital. It's been a while now that MARCA and AS always try to perceive reality in a very strange way. "Villaratos" and other campaigns proved to be ineffective. So now, in their effort to fight reality beyond what anyboy else has... they simply change reality!
Watch for yourself, it's totally amazing.
AS
In their way to show that Alves was offside in the first Barcelona goal yesterday, in the printed edition they decided to use photoshop and ERASE one of the Bilbao defenders, just to make things easier. Really, that bad.

People reaction has grown so quickly that they had to apologize in their own web:

They say it's an "infography" error. Laughable. Last time I checked, you had to use Photoshop in a very intentional way to ERASE a player from a picture...
MARCA
But AS is not alone in their crusade! Misteriously, the same picture in the Marca printed edition shows the grass without any of the horizontal lines of the pitch, and combines a left part of the photo (where xavi has already done the pass) with a later right part of the video sequence where Alves seems undoubtedly offside...
Great done lads, keep the hard work! Always leading the way in terms of journalism!
PS: Personally, I think Alves was slightly offside anyway, so it was not necessary to do all this ashaming acts. But they should also talk about the 2 clear penalties that the referee decided not to award to us! Referee did reasonably well in a difficult match and we deservedly won.
