Sebagai contoh, otot-otot jantung yang bercabang menghubungkan sel-jantung yang lainnya. Percabangan tersebut membantu kontraksi sel-sel dalam satu koordinasi <i>(Campbell et al. 1999</i>). Ilmu yang mempelajari jaringan disebut histologi. Jaringan didalam tubuh hewan mempunyai sifat yang khusus dalam melakukan fungsinya, seperti peka dan pengendali (jaringan saraf), gerakan (jaringan otot), penunjang dan pengisi tubuh (jaringan ikat), absorbsi dan sekresi (jaringan epitel), bersifat cair (darah) dan lainnya. Masing-masing jaringan dasar dibedakan lagi menjadi beberapa tipe khusus sesuai dengan fungsinya. Padasaat perkembangan embrio, lapisan kecambah (<i>germ layers</i>) berdiferensiasi (dengan proses yang disebut histogenesis) menjadi empat macam jaringan utama, yaitu jaringan epitel, jaringan pengikat, jaringan otot, jaringan saraf, Jaringan Darah dan Jaringan Tulang.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;"></div>M hanun Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07836745142227824741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141609992428170357.post-55592767542854019602011-12-30T06:50:00.000-08:002012-01-22T16:38:35.341-08:007 Binatang laut paling berbahayaManusia boleh-boleh saja mengklaim diri sebagai makhluk terunggul di seluruh daratan muka bumi. Tapi bagaimana dengan kehidupan di bawah laut? Masihkah manusia bisa mengatasi dan terbebas dari bahaya? Kalau pun manusia bisa menaklukkannya, tetap saja manusia harus waspada karena bahaya selalu mengintai.<br />
<br />
Berikut adalah daftar sebagian mahkluk bawah laut berbahaya versi Livescience yang kerap menjadi ancaman bagi makhluk air lain. Dan tentu saja, ancaman berbahaya bagi manusia.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Belut Laut</span></div><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0xCTSgrBsuDR2P1b9l2neIvBbEM5PhuTu7Nmh84EEONusuWuhvlYcz3skG_FpoZM6zQcX1pa_BtnB6uX3X-y5POvkZ73c2U1fqa5QTDphbkJHuLjm3_PdL9sBnxjmQMPTOAlerUyBsmvY/s1600/belut+laut.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626809910086936578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0xCTSgrBsuDR2P1b9l2neIvBbEM5PhuTu7Nmh84EEONusuWuhvlYcz3skG_FpoZM6zQcX1pa_BtnB6uX3X-y5POvkZ73c2U1fqa5QTDphbkJHuLjm3_PdL9sBnxjmQMPTOAlerUyBsmvY/s400/belut+laut.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br />
Gigitan kuat dari gigi tajam belut laut dapat mengakibatkan luka serius yang rentan terkena infeksi bakteri dari mulut hewan primitif ini. Belut ini kerap bersembunyi di celah-celah dan lubang karang pada siang hari dan berburu makanan di malam hari. Para ahli kelautan menyarankan penyelam untuk menjauhkan tangan dari celah atau lubang mencurigakan untuk menghindari serangan. Satu lagi, jangan pernah memberi makan hewan ini jika tidak mau diserang oleh kawanannya.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Singa Laut</span></div><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmfWaQxECdqG9lcbe2tBqPABjAA9t1naq5WOoiIe1wTk68cx4WthOncGp3FqwgHZI0dli8eHEm0J7B8djWwKIWsndNLqFI2cHFCv8XLMsIyICVakB-xzw9ubq0sUQbGUEjHJtOn_nDFyrH/s1600/anjing+laut.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626809908470856626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmfWaQxECdqG9lcbe2tBqPABjAA9t1naq5WOoiIe1wTk68cx4WthOncGp3FqwgHZI0dli8eHEm0J7B8djWwKIWsndNLqFI2cHFCv8XLMsIyICVakB-xzw9ubq0sUQbGUEjHJtOn_nDFyrH/s400/anjing+laut.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 340px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
Singa laut dapat digolongkan sebagai binatang imut, mudah dilatih, dan banyak menjadi bintang di beberapa kebun binatang. Kendati begitu, hewan ini tak jarang pula menyerang manusia. Di California, AS, beberapa kasus serangan singa laut dilaporkan terjadi di pantai Manhattan, Newport, dan San Francisco pada 2006. Beberapa ilmuwan setempat mengatakan perilaku singa laut sulit diduga dan dapat tiba-tiba menjadi agresif.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Ikan Pari</span></div><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1f-w4GMQnFYMN2iH_QYWYRoCLwthjrbmJKMtQJYCnFmcuGBOraBHMOQyoOc9yfu5sXQn-JoQ6bnW5fbRddA8hbTLZA3nQjjr1bCynaTJ5oTVG7Wi_k-VNBhyphenhyphenRDgwkUxWMikfs7T2poii/s1600/ikan+pari.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626809914339356770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1f-w4GMQnFYMN2iH_QYWYRoCLwthjrbmJKMtQJYCnFmcuGBOraBHMOQyoOc9yfu5sXQn-JoQ6bnW5fbRddA8hbTLZA3nQjjr1bCynaTJ5oTVG7Wi_k-VNBhyphenhyphenRDgwkUxWMikfs7T2poii/s400/ikan+pari.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 208px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 318px;" /></a><br />
Nama hewan ini begitu banyak menyita perhatian dunia semenjak kematian tragis ahli biologi sekaligus pembawa acara “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin pada 2006. Ekor ikan pari yang berbentuk seperti tombak dan mengandung banyak racun telah menusuk Steve dan membuatnya mengalami gagal jantung.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Buaya Air Asin</span></div><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRE_saBrH28rX4W8bLhgmt9lC9-etpQdggZiHbJwLLIyhaDbWhFPfHd-DsHaWW7yQMRV-9J_XCVBm1vP6wxDU6f5AClcbqDi0my4izB8yLA9X_aMXUADyHcF3aoTr4jfaebH-s6fv_cB1/s1600/buaya+air+asin.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626809911741574674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRE_saBrH28rX4W8bLhgmt9lC9-etpQdggZiHbJwLLIyhaDbWhFPfHd-DsHaWW7yQMRV-9J_XCVBm1vP6wxDU6f5AClcbqDi0my4izB8yLA9X_aMXUADyHcF3aoTr4jfaebH-s6fv_cB1/s400/buaya+air+asin.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 294px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
Buaya air asin memiliki reputasi sebagai salah satu pemangsa paling ganas di dunia. Hewan yang dapat tumbuh hingga lebih dari enam meter dan berbobot 1.500 kilogram ini memiliki beragam mangsa, antara lain monyet, kanguru, banteng, ikan hiu, dan bahkan manusia. Dengan menggunakan kekuatan dahsyat, buaya air asin menggigit sambil memutar-mutar mangsanya di dalam air untuk melumpuhkan dan kemudian memakannya.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Ikan Singa</span></div><br />

Menjadi ikan favorit penghuni aquarium, ikan singa terkenal dengan duri-durinya yang beracun. Walaupun tidak terlalu mematikan pada manusia, racunnya dapat mengakibatkan sakit kepala, muntah-muntah, dan gangguan pernafasan. Menurut beberapa laporan, gejala tersebut berlangsung selama beberapa minggu.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. Ular Laut</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUA1FLhVBtiFNTFvkHPZljkcsciIZ3hJ7hD_4pNwJpUxstuLMi1kkS5_Vu0TRbTJnpP4KVSRRwNVb_UvU6D8OcqYGhIrIo-ZjitIKAi9rrwxdTbn9QBX5hgDfSIRxvcdgrvBtI-r5MX7rY/s1600/ular+laut.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626810055005410994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUA1FLhVBtiFNTFvkHPZljkcsciIZ3hJ7hD_4pNwJpUxstuLMi1kkS5_Vu0TRbTJnpP4KVSRRwNVb_UvU6D8OcqYGhIrIo-ZjitIKAi9rrwxdTbn9QBX5hgDfSIRxvcdgrvBtI-r5MX7rY/s400/ular+laut.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a></div>Ketakutan dasar manusia pada ular menempatkan spesies ini pada daftar hewan laut berbahaya. Namun pada kenyataannya ular laut ini hidup tersembunyi di laut dan tidak terlalu mengancam kehidupan manusia. Kendati begitu, racun ular ini tetap saja menjadi momok menakutkan. Dalam sekali gigitan, racun ular ini mampu melumpuhkan mangsa dan membunuhnya dalam hitungan detik.<br />
<br />

Sepasang kerangka laki-laki dan perempuan zaman batu baru yang saling berpelukan erat tergali di Italia. Sepasang kerangka yang saling berpelukan hangat ini, menggoncang semua orang yang melihatnya. Arkeolog memperkirakan, bahwa sepasang kerangka ini telah terkubur kurang lebih 5.000-6.000 tahun lamanya di bawah tanah! pelukan selama 5.000 tahun ini bukan saja menggoncang arkeolog, bahkan masyarakat dunia.<br />
<br />
Untuk mempertahankan gaya pelukan ini, ilmuwan belum memutuskan memisahkan potongan kerangka tersebut. “Kami akan tetap mempertahankan sikap mereka selama ini yaitu saling berpelukan.” Demikian ujar arkeolog Irena Mannorti yang menemukan sepasang kerangka ini. <br />

Kandungan jeruk di gelas pertama dan kandungan anggur di gelas kedua sama banyaknya.<br />
Penjelasan:<br />
Pertama kali Anda tergoda untuk berpikir bahwa lebih banyak jus anggur dalam gelas kedua. Kelihatannya beralasan yang Anda pindahkan dalam langkah kedua adalah campuran jus anggur dan jeruk, sementara langkah pertama hanya jus anggur yang dipindahkan. Tapi itu tidak benar, karena pada waktu jus dipindahkan, jumlah kandungan jus dalam setiap gelas berbeda.<br />
Setelah perpindahan, kedua gelas berisi jumlah air yang sama. Apapun yang hilang dari gelas jus anggur sekarang ada dalam gelas berisi jus jeruk. Jadi, jumlah jus jeruk yang sama harus ada dalam gelas jus apel. Cukup mengejutkan, rasio setiap jus dalam kedua gelas sama.<br />

<br />
Dia orang Singapura. Waktu kecil, ia adalah penggemar berat games dan <br />
TV. Sehari, ia bisa berjam-jam di depan TV. Baik main PS atau nonton TV.<br />
Adam Khoo pun dikenal sebagai anak bodoh. Ketika kelas empat SD, Ia <br />
dikeluarkan dari sekolah. Ia pun masuk ke SD terburuk di Singapura. <br />
Ketika akan masuk SMP, ia ditolak oleh enam SMP terbaik di sana. <br />
Akhirnya, ia bisa masuk ke SMP terburuk di Singapura. Begitu terpuruknya<br />
prestasi akademisnya, tapi lama kelamaan membaik justru karena cemoohan<br />
teman-temannya, hingga akhirnya memperoleh kesuksesan di dunia bisnis.<br />
Prestasi Adam di dunia bisnis ditandai pada saat Adam berusia 26 tahun. <br />
Ia telah memiliki empat bisnis dengan total nilai omset per tahun US$ 20<br />
juta.<br />
Kisah bisnis Adam dimulai ketika ia berusia 15 tahun. Ia berbisnis music<br />
box. Bisnis berikutnya adalah bisnis training dan seminar. Pada usia 22<br />
tahun, Adam Khoo adalah trainer tingkat nasional di Singapura. <br />

<br />
Siapa yang belum tahu Albert Einstein? Dialah Ilmuwan terkenal abad 20 <br />
yang terkenal dengan teori relativitasnya. Dia juga salah satu peraih <br />

<br />
Di sekolah, ia bodoh dan suka mencari perkara, mengikuti contoh banyak <br />
orang kaya. Tidak aneh kalau ia diusir dari beberapa sekolah. Ia paling <br />
sering menduduki ranking terbawah di kelasnya. Salah seorang gurunya <br />
berkata:<br />
Teman-teman sekelas memuja dia, tetapi guru guru dan keluarganya <br />
berputus asa. Selagi ia masih muda, dengan mudah orang dapat melihat <br />
bahwa dia akan menjadi seorang di antara mereka yang akan menghancurkan <br />
diri sama sekali atau sukses secara gilang-gemilang. Walaupun raportnya <br />
di sekolah jauh dari bagus, bakatnya untuk berdagang dan mencari uang <br />
telah tampak sejak dini. Akhirnya dia menjadi seorang milyuner.<br />

<br />
Suatu hari, seorang bocah berusia 4 tahun, agak tuli dan bodoh di <br />
sekolah, pulang ke rumahnya membawa secarik kertas dari gurunya. ibunya <br />
membaca kertas tersebut,<br />
Tommy, anak ibu, sangat bodoh. kami minta ibu untuk mengeluarkannya dari sekolah.<br />
Sang ibu terhenyak membaca surat ini, namun ia segera membuat tekad yang<br />
teguh, ” anak saya Tommy, bukan anak bodoh. saya sendiri yang akan <br />
mendidik dan mengajar dia.”<br />
Tommy kecil adalah Thomas Alva Edison yang kita kenal sekarang, salah <br />
satu penemu terbesar di dunia. dia hanya bersekolah sekitar 3 bulan, dan<br />
secara fisik agak tuli, namun itu semua ternyata bukan penghalang untuk<br />
terus maju.<br />
Siapa yang sebelumnya menyangka bahwa bocah tuli yang bodoh <br />
sampai-sampai diminta keluar dari sekolah, akhirnya bisa menjadi seorang<br />
genius? jawabannya adalah ibunya! Ya, Nancy Edison, ibu dari Thomas <br />
Alva Edison, tidak menyerah begitu saja dengan pendapat pihak sekolah <br />
terhadap anaknya.<br />

Jika anda mengenal seorang wanita yang sedang hamil, yang telah <br />
mempunyai 8 anak, tiga diantaranya tuli, dua buta, satu mengalami <br />
gangguan mental dan wanita itu sendiri mengidap sipilis, apakah anda <br />
akan menyarankannya untuk menggugurkan kandungannya? Jika anda menjawab <br />
ya, maka anda baru saja membunuh salah satu komponis masyur dunia. <br />
Karena anak yang dikandung oleh sang ibu tersebut adalah Ludwig Van <br />
Beethoven. Ketika Beethoven berumur di ujung dua puluhan, tanda-tanda <br />
ketuliannya mulai tampak, tapi akhirnya ia menjadi Komponis yang <br />
terkenal dengan karya 9 simfoni, 32 sonata piano, 5 piano concerto, 10 <br />

terjadi karena kerusakan mata yang lainnya. Kebutaan tidak membuatnya <br />
putus asa, ia menciptakan abjad Braille yang membantu orang buta juga <br />

Barcelona sudah memenangi leg pertama dengan skor 3-0 di kandang mereka kala itu, Les Corts, dan muncul sentimen di Madrid jika publik tuan rumah terlalu kuat menunjukkan rasa kebanggaan mereka atas tanah Catalan dengan sambutan panas pada tim tamu. Kala itu tensi memang begitu panas sehingga laga kedua tim kerap dijadikan sebagai simbol perang saudara di Spanyol.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dan penguasa Spanyol kala itu, </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Jenderal Franco</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> dikabarkan amat gusar dengan penampilan klub asal ibukota itu dan memerintahkan menteri pertahanan kala itu untuk mengeluarkan 'peringatan' pada para pemain Barca jelang leg kedua di Madrid. Dan meski hal tersebut kemudian dibantah oleh dua penggawa Barca yang bermain kala itu, </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Domenec Balmanya</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> dan </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Josep Escola</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, namun Barca bukanlah tim yang sama di pertandingan leg kedua. Madrid membuka keunggulan di menit kelima dan terus menggila sebelum tim tamu mencetak gol hiburan di menit 89. Madrid melaju ke final dengan agregat 11-4, namun di partai puncak mereka tumbang dari Athletic Bilbao 1-0 lewat babak perpanjangan waktu.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(La Liga, 1953-54)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Di awal musim 1953-1954, Real Madrid sudah melalui dua dekade tanpa tambahan trofi dari dua gelar juara liga mereka, namun kedatangan </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Alfredo di Stefano</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> yang kontroversial sebulan sebelumnya, segalanya pun berubah.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tanggal 25 Oktober, dalam laga pertamanya lawan Barcelona - tim yang sudah memenangi empat gelar liga dalam enam musim sebelumnya, Di Stefano menjadi bintang dalam kemenangan 5-0 tersebut. Ia membuka skor dari jarak dekat di menit kelima, sebelum mengkreasikan dua gol cepat </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Roque Olsen</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, dan digenapi menjadi 4-0 oleh gol </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Luis Molowny</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> sebelum jeda. Di Stefano menambah satu gol lagi lima menit jelang bubaran, dan Madrid pun kemudian melahirkan salah satu generasi terbaik mereka.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Harian ABC melabeli laga tersebut sebagai 'pukulan telak untuk prestise Barcelona' dan raksasa Catalan itu berusaha membalas dendam di kandang mereka, Les Corts Stadium. Mereka sukses melakukannya dengan memukul Madrid 5-1di mana gol balasan tim tamu kembali dilesakkan Di Stefano, yang di musim itu finis sebagai top skorer liga dengan 29 gol. Namun yang lebih istimewa, Madrid akhirnya finis di puncak klasemen untuk mengakhiri penantian panjang mereka akan sukses.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(Putaran pertama Piala Eropa, 1960-61)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Saat Piala Eropa mulai dihidupkan di musim 1955-1956, Madrid terus menjadi raja yang tak tergoyahkan selama separuh dekade. Di jalan menuju kesuksesan kelima mereka pada tahun 1960, mereka menghancurkan Barca dengan agregat 6-2 di semifinal. Namun di putaran pertama musim 1960-1961, Barca menuntaskan dendamnya dengan menghempaskan dominasi sang rival dengan agregat 4-3.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Barcelona saat itu memilih pindah kandang ke Camp Nou dengan biaya hampir 1.750.000 pound, langkah yang membuat mereka terperangkap utang sebesar 1 juta pound, dan berharap pada para pemainnya untuk memastikan perjudian itu terbayar. Kekalahan Barca 6-2 atas Madrid berbuntut pada pergantian pelatih dari </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Helenio Herrera</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> kepada mantan pelatih Juventus dan PSV Eindhoven, </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ljubisa Brocic</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> di bulan Juni 1960.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Di pertemuan pertama kontra Madrid, Barca sudah tertinggal saat laga belum genap dua menit lewat gol </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Enrique Mateos</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, namun </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Luis Suarez</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> menyamakan kedudukan di menit 27. </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Francisco Gento</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> mengembalikan keunggulan Madrid, namun dua menit jelang usai, wasit asal Inggris menghadiahkan penalti kontroversial yang disempurnakan oleh Suarez untuk mengakhiri laga dengan skor 2-2.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Barca menjadi favorit pada laga leg kedua yang disaksikan 125.000 fans, dan mereka lebih beruntung dari Madrid yang sejatinya tampil lebih superior. Wasit Inggris, </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Reg Leafe</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> membatalkan tiga gol tamu karena </span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">offside</i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, dan juga mengancam akan mengusir gelandang Madrid, </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Luis del Sol</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> jika protes mereka tak mereda. Barca unggul lewat tembakan </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ramon Alberto Villaverde</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> yang membelok masuk gawang 10 menit sebelum jeda, sebelum digandakan </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Evaristo</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> di menit 81. Gelombang serangan Madrid hanya berbuah satu gol </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Canario</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> empat menit sebelum laga usai, dan presiden Madrid </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Santiago Bernabeu</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> pun menyematkan sindiran pada wasit sebagai 'pemain terbaik Barca'. Barca mendapatkan keuntungan finansial dari keberhasilan mereka tersebut, dan melaju ke final sebelum ditaklukkan Benfica.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>4. Real Madrid 0-5 Barcelona</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(La Liga, 1973-74)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Untuk beberapa saat, laga antara Madrid versus Barca menjadi pertemuan yang ketat. Sejak 1966 ke depan, hanya satu pertemuan di semua ajang yang ditentukan oleh lebih dari satu gol - kemenangan Madrid 2-0 di final Copa Del Rey 1969-1970. Namun semuanya berubah di bulan Februari 1974 ketika pria Belanda bernama </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Johan Cruyff</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> yang melakoni debutnya bersama Barcelona, namun sudah mengobrak-abrik kandang Madrid.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Pemain asal Belanda itu memberikan 3 assist dan juga satu gol solo indah yang membawa Barca menjaga keunggulan sembilan poin di puncak klasemen, sementara Madrid harus turun ke posisi kesembilan. Barcelona akhirnya memenangi gelar juara mereka tahun itu, atau yang pertama sejak 1960.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Madrid akhirnya memang membalas kekalahan memalukan itu dengan skor 4-0 di final Copa Del Rey pada bulan Juni, namun Barca harus bermain penuh keterbatasan karena aturan kala itu mencegah pemain asing ikut ambil bagian dalam turnamen. Namun demikian, Cruyff sendiri harus memperkuat timnas Belanda di Piala Dunia 1974, sementara pelatih </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Rinus Michels</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> yang merangkap pelatih Belanda, juga harus melakukan penerbangan bolak-balik dari Jerman Barat ke Catalan untuk menyeimbangkan tanggung jawabnya.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Januari 1994, Barcelona mencatat kemenangan terbesar mereka atas Real Madrid di Camp Nou sejak musim 1944-1945. </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Romario </b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">membukukan </span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">hat-trick</i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, ditambah dengan tendangan bebas </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ronald Koeman</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> serta gol di menit akhir dari </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ivan Iglesias</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> untuk kemenangan pasukan Johan Cruyff.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Real Madrid sendiri melakoni start terburuk mereka selama 40 tahun, dan memberikan tekanan pada pelatih </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Benito Floro</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, yang sebelumnya sudah mendapat jaminan kepercayaan dari Madrid. Pemecatan Floro pun sulit dilakukan karena saat itu Madrid memiliki utang sebesar 25 juta pound. Namun setelah kekalahan 2-1 atas Lerida di bulan Maret, ditambah Madrid berhasil mengumpulkan dana yang cukup, maka mereka pun tak ragu mendepak Floro - pemecatan pelatih keenam mereka dalam dekade baru, dan digantikan oleh </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Vicente Del Bosque</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> sebagai pelatih </span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">caretaker</i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hampir setahun setelah dilibas di Camp Nou, Real Madrid akhirnya bisa membalas sang rival di Bernabeu. Meski </span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Los Blancos</i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> tak menambah koleksi 25 gelar juara mereka sejak 1990, penunjukan </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Jorge Valdano</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> sebagai pelatih memunculkan optimisme. Mereka pun menuju status sebagai jawara paruh musim ketika mereka menumpas sang rival yang juga juara bertahan dengan skor 5-0.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ivan Zamorano</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> menjadi inspirasi Madrid ketika penyerang asal Chile itu mencetak </span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">hat-trick</i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> di babak pertama, sebelum penyerang Barca </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hristo Stoichkov</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> membantu tuan rumah dengan kartu merah yang ia terima akibat menginjak </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Quique Flores</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> di akhir babak pertama. </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Luis Enrique</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> memperbesar keunggulan Madrid di menit 68, sebelum Zamorano memberikan </span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">assist</i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> untuk gol </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Jose Amavisca</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> dua menit kemudian.</span><br />

Sementara </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Romario</b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, yang tak menunjukkan komitmen besar musim itu dan membuat gusar Cruyff, dilepas ke Flamengo beberap hari usai kekalahan tersebut.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Dalam postingan saya kali ini, saya akan membahas tentang serial kartun Spongebob Squarepants yang konon merupakan "Darkside Episode" dari serial kartun tersebut dan tidak pernah ditayangkan di televisi. Seperti apakan ceritanya</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLwr9w5VRY7NbOjQEx-tOROzmbJ_6027uRo4m3Ylo4wGVU1rOsphtE68fVtcMo-Wn-FtGHwYCqJW6hRCE7rqsCKdSl62xcvCTLrHsJd4-JGhrnJXp__ByNn4ao3-WidEwf_4jG58uxrI4/s1600/images.jpg" style="color: #cc0000; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLwr9w5VRY7NbOjQEx-tOROzmbJ_6027uRo4m3Ylo4wGVU1rOsphtE68fVtcMo-Wn-FtGHwYCqJW6hRCE7rqsCKdSl62xcvCTLrHsJd4-JGhrnJXp__ByNn4ao3-WidEwf_4jG58uxrI4/s1600/images.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px;" /></a> </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Sebagian besar masyarakat tentunya sudah tahu siapa Spongebob Squarepants. Tokoh kartun berwujud spons kotak kuning tersebut sangat digemari oleh anak - anak karena tingkahnya yang konyol. Nickelodeon selaku developernya pun mengemas serial kartun tersebut dengan apik sehingga konsepnya benar - benar berbeda dengan serial kartun lainnya.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Dalam serial kartun Spongebob Squarepants, setidaknya ada 8 tokoh utama yang sering tampil dalam setiap episodenya, yakni Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr. Krab, Pearl, Gary dan Plankton. Nah, dalam postingan kali ini saya tidak akan membahas soal kekonyolan para tokoh serial ini, namun saya akan membahas sebuah episode yang konon merupakan episode terlarang ( sebagian menyebutnya sebagai episode yang hilang ).</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Bagi penggemar serial Spongebob, tentunya telah menonton setiap episode yang dipublikasikan oleh pihak Nickelodeon. Akan tetapi, di dunia maya, telah menyebar sebuah episode Spongebob yang tidak pernah dipublikasikan ataupun ditayangkan ke publik, setidaknya setelah video tersebut bocor dan menyebar lewat internet.</span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><b> </b></i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><b>Episode terlarang tersebut adalah Red Mist. Lalu, apa istimewanya episode tersebut hingga tidak boleh sampai ditayangkan ke publik? Disinilah episode misterius Red Mist dimulai.</b></i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Setelah berkeliling cukup lama mencari informasi mengenai episode ini, saya hanya mendapatkan sedikit informasi. Ketika saya menyambangi situs spongefan.wikia.com yang notabene merupakan situs yang pertama muncul di laman google, informasi mengenai episode Red Mist telah hilang, padahal judul artikelnya masih ada. Mengapa situs yang khusus diperuntukkan bagi penggemar Spongebob tersebut menghapus informasi tersebut? Saya juga belum menemukan jawabannya, lalu, bagaimana kisah episode Red Mist itu sendiri?</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Sebenarnya,</span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><i> Red Mist bukanlah official episode yang dibuat dan dipublikasikan oleh Nickelodeon, tetapi merupakan hasil karya orang lain. Episode ini menurut sumber, merupakan buatan seorang animator Skotlandia yang dituduh melakukan sejumlah pembunuhan.</i></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Red Mist sendiri ditemukan oleh para staf Spongebob dan mereka menganggap tayangan tersebut tidak layak untuk dipublikasikan karena mengandung unsur kekerasan. bahkan, ada yang bilang jika episode Red Mist ini mampu menganggu mental seseorang yang lemah ( saya telah menonton versi full-nya, dan tidak terjadi apa - apa).</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Episode Red Mist sendiri disimpan dalam sebuah kaset video yang dibuat oleh Chaz Agnew, dan setelah dilakukan investigasi selama beberapa sesaat, akhirnya rekaman tersebut disita oleh polisi. Akan tetapi, menurut kabar, sesaat sebelum polisi menyita rekaman tersebut, seseorang telah berhasil menduplikatnya dan meng-upload video tersebut ke youtube.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Kendati dari pihak Youtube sendiri telah memblokir tayangan Spongebob episode Red Mist ini, video tersebut telah menyebar dengan cepat dan semakin banyak.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Baiklah, saya akan menceritakan sedikit tayangan episode Red Mist ini. Sebelumnya, kualitas video ini terlihat mengecewakan, entah karena disimpan dalam bentuk tape atau seseorang telah merekamnya dengan kamera digital, namun yang jelas, kualitasnya tidak terlalu bagus walau masih bisa ditonton. Kisah ini dimulai dengan Squidward yang hendak berlatih dengan klarinetnya, sementara Spongebob dan Patrick bermain di luar. Ketika hendak memainkan klarinetnya, seseorang mengetuk pintu rumahnya.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Squidward lalu turun dan membukan pintu rumahnya. Seekor salesman ( berwujud ikan berpakaian ala Skotlandia ) mencoba mengajak Squidward berbicara, namun Squidward menolaknya dan membanting pintu rumahnya. Lalu, beberapa saat kemudian, pintu diketuk lagi, dan dengan wajah marah Squidward membukanya. Ternyata salesman itu masih belum pergi, dan kali ini dengan wajah yang tampak marah ia berkata " Red Mist is coming", lalu ia pergi. Squidward yang kebingungan lalu kembali ke kamarnya lagi untuk melanjutkan latihannya.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Setelah itu, latihan Squidward terganggu kembali oleh suara Spongebob dan Patrick yang sedang bermain. Squidward yang kesal lalu membentak Spongebob dan Patrick, ia mengatakan bahwa ia perlu latihan untuk konsernya besok. Spongebob dan Patrick lalu meminta maaf dan pulang. Lalu, Squidward kembali kedalam rumahnya.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Ketika Squidward tengah berlatih dengan klarinetnya, perlahan scene akan berubah menjadi merah, dan mata Squidward juga berubah menjadi merah selama beberapa detik. Bentuk dan warna mata Squidward yang berubah menjadi merah, sepertinya dibuat untuk tujuan khusus.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Adegan berlanjut di acara konser Squidward. Dalam adegan ini pun hampir semua tokoh didalamnya ditampilkan dengan mata yang berwarna merah menyeramkan. Walaupun sebenarnya adegan ini diambil dari salah satu episode Spongebob, tetapi tampak jelas sekali jika sang animator memfokuskan adegan pada warna mata tokoh - tokoh dalam serial itu.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Adegan berlanjut dengan Squidward yang pulang dengan kecewa karena dipermalukan ketika konser, lalu pada 2:33, scene berubah menjadi merah darah kembali selama beberapa detik. Pada 2:45, tampak Squidward yang termenung dan perlahan scene mulai bergoyang hingga 4:28.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Setelah itu muncul wajah Squidward, kali ini dalam beberapa adegan, wajah Squidward mulai diberi efek yang cukup menyeramkan bagi anak - anak untuk ditonton. Puncaknya, pada menit ke 5:33, Squidward mengarahkan pistol ke kepalanya sendiri dan menekan pelatuknya dan diakhiri dengan Scene dimana Squidward telah tewas. Karena itulah, Red Mist juga disebut dengan episode Bunuh Diri Squidward.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Dari segi video, memang video ini tidak tampak seperti video serial Spongebob yang kita tonton selama ini, namun dari segi psikologis, video ini memang benar - benar bisa mempengaruhi anak - anak. Tidak heran jika pihak Nickelodeon berusaha melenyapkan episode Red Mist ini walaupun sulit.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Saya sendiri belum bisa menemukan kebeneran dibalik video ini, seperti apa motif dan tujuan si animator membuat video tersebut. Apakah hanya untuk sensasi?, mengingat mudahnya membuat kehebohan lewat portal Youtube seperti kasus video Mereana yang santer beberapa saat lalu.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Last, informasi detail mengenai Video ini memang sulit ditemukan. Saya hanya dapat menemukan review tentang video ini. Yang jelas, saya telah menonton versi full dari episode ini dan hanya menikmatinya tanpa adanya perubahan seperti yang dikabarkan sebelumnya, namun ada baiknya kita tetap berhati - hati. Jika anda ingin menontonnya, silahkan klik link ini karena video hanya bisa ditonton di Youtube.</span></span><br />

More recently, the club was involved in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Italian_football_scandal" title="2006 Italian football scandal">2006 Serie A scandal</a>, nicknamed <i>Calciopoli</i>, where five teams were accused of fixing matches by selecting favorable referees.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-c4_18-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Milan#cite_note-c4-18">[19]</a></sup> A police inquiry excluded any involvement of Milan managers,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-19"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Milan#cite_note-19">[20]</a></sup> but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Football_Federation" title="Italian Football Federation">FIGC</a> unilaterally decided that it had sufficient evidence to charge Milan vice-president, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriano_Galliani" title="Adriano Galliani">Adriano Galliani</a>. As a result, Milan was initially punished with a 15 point deduction and consequently did not qualify for the Champions League.

</tbody></table>Red and black are the colors which represented the club throughout its entire history. They were chosen to represent the players' fiery ardor (red) and the opponents' fear to challenge the team (black). <i>Rossoneri</i>, the team's widely-used nickname, literally means "the red & blacks" in Italian, in reference to the colors of the stripes on its jersey.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-24"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Milan#cite_note-24">[25]</a></sup><br />
Another nickname derived from the club's colors is <i><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil" title="The Devil">the Devil</a></i>. An image of a red devil was used as Milan's logo at one point with a <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_%28football_crest%29" title="Star (football crest)">Golden Star for Sport Excellence</a></i> located next to it.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-weltfussball_25-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Milan#cite_note-weltfussball-25">[26]</a></sup> As is customary in Italian football, the star above the logo was awarded to the club after winning 10 league titles, in 1979. For many years, Milan's badge was simply the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Milan" title="Flag of Milan">Flag of Milan</a>, which was originally the flag of <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Ambrose" title="Saint Ambrose">Saint Ambrose</a>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-weltfussball_25-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Milan#cite_note-weltfussball-25">[26]</a></sup> The modern badge used today represents the club colors and the flag of the <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comune" title="Comune">Comune</a> di <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan" title="Milan">Milano</a></i>, with the acronym <i>ACM</i> at the top and the foundation year (1899) at the bottom.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-weltfussball_25-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Milan#cite_note-weltfussball-25">[26]</a></sup><br />
White shorts and black socks are usually worn as part of the home strip. Milan's away strip has always been completely white. It is considered by both the fans and the club to be a lucky strip in Champions League finals, due to the fact that Milan has won six finals out of eight in an all white strip (losing only to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Ajax" title="AFC Ajax">Ajax</a> in 1995 and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C." title="Liverpool F.C.">Liverpool</a> in 2005), and only won one out of three in the home strip. The third strip, which is rarely used, changes yearly, being mostly black with red trimmings in recent seasons.<br />

</tbody></table><div class="rellink boilerplate seealso">For more details on this topic, see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Siro" title="San Siro">San Siro</a>.</div>The team's stadium is the 80,018 seat <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Siro" title="San Siro">San Siro</a>, officially known as <i>Stadio Giuseppe Meazza</i> after the former player who represented both Milan and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.C._Internazionale_Milano" title="F.C. Internazionale Milano">Internazionale</a>. The more commonly used name, <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Siro" title="San Siro">San Siro</a></i>, is the name of the district where it's located. San Siro has been the home of Milan since 1926, when it was privately built by funding from Milan's president at the time, <a class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Piero_Pirelli&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Piero Pirelli (page does not exist)">Piero Pirelli</a>. Construction was performed by 120 workers, and took 13 and a half months to complete. The stadium was owned by the club until it was sold to the city council in 1935, and since 1947 has been shared with Internazionale, when the other major <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan" title="Milan">Milanese</a> club was accepted as joint tenant.<br />
The first game played at the stadium was on 19 September 1926, when Milan lost 6-3 in a friendly match against Internazionale. Milan played its first league game in San Siro on September 19 1926, losing 1-2 to <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampierdarenese" title="Sampierdarenese">Sampierdarenese</a>. From an initial capacity of 35,000 spectators, the stadium has undergone several major renovations, most recently in preparation for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_FIFA_World_Cup" title="1990 FIFA World Cup">1990 FIFA World Cup</a> when its capacity was set to 85,700, all covered with a polycarbonate roof. In the summer of 2008 its capacity has been reduced to 80,018, in order to meet the new standards set by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA" title="UEFA">UEFA</a>.<br />
Based on the English model for stadiums, San Siro is specifically designed for football matches, as opposed to many multi-purpose stadiums used in Serie A. It is therefore renowned in Italy for its fantastic atmosphere during matches, thanks to the closeness of the stands to the pitch. The frequent use of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flare_%28pyrotechnic%29" title="Flare (pyrotechnic)">flares</a> by supporters contributes to the atmosphere but the practice has occasionally caused problems.<br />
On 19 December 2005, Milan vice-president and executive director <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriano_Galliani" title="Adriano Galliani">Adriano Galliani</a> announced that the club is seriously working towards a relocation. He said that Milan's new stadium will be largely based on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veltins-Arena" title="Veltins-Arena">Veltins-Arena</a> and will follow the standards of football stadiums in the United States, Germany and Spain. As opposed to many other stadiums in Italy, Milan's new stadium will likely be used for football only, having no athletics track. The new stadium's naming rights will be probably sold to a sponsor, similarly to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenal_F.C." title="Arsenal F.C.">Arsenal</a>'s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_Stadium" title="Emirates Stadium">Emirates Stadium</a>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-26"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Milan#cite_note-26">[27]</a></sup> It remains to be seen if this plan will proceed or if this is just a ploy to force the owners (Comune di Milano) to sell the stadium to Milan for a nominal fee so as to proceed with extensive renovations. The possibility of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.C._Internazionale_Milano" title="F.C. Internazionale Milano">Internazionale</a> vacating San Siro may affect proceedings.<br />

Traditionally, especially during the Franco regime, Espanyol was seen by the vast majority of Barcelona's citizens as a club which cultivated a kind of compliance to the central authority, in stark contrast to Barça's revolutionary spirit.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-88"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Barcelona#cite_note-88">[89]</a></sup> In 1918 Espanyol started a counter-petition against autonomy, which at that time had become a pertinent issue.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Ball.2C_Phil._pp._86-87_84-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Barcelona#cite_note-Ball.2C_Phil._pp._86-87-84">[85]</a></sup> Later on, an Espanyol supporter group would join the Falangists in the Spanish civil war, siding with the fascists. Despite these differences in ideology, the <i>derbi</i> has always been more relevant to Espanyol supporters than Barcelona ones due to the difference in objectives.
