The Barcelona v Real Madrid thread

[Rudo]

I've got a feeling Madrid will win tonight.

Yep, i reckon Barca might just found out tonight.

[danperkins]

Madrid were extremely physical in the cup final, they'll have to be very careful again tonight. I want Madrid to win but i won't lose any sleep if they don't. IMO both are well capable of beating the mancs anyways.

Barca will stuff them.

Nothing like a rant. He's put the cunt in his place, hopefully it'll translate on the pitch.

Come on Barca.

Real XI: Casillas - Arbeloa, Sergio Ramos, Raul Albiol, Marcelo - Diarra, Xabi Alonso, Pepe - Özil, Cristiano Ronaldo, di Maria

Barca XI: Victor Valdes - Dani Alves, Mascherano, Piqué, Puyol - Xavi, Busquets, Keita - Pedro, Messi, Villa

[Rudo]

Keita left back and Mascherano in midfield?

[Shaggy]

I reckon Mash CB, Puyol LB?

[Rudo]

Hard one to call...has Puyol played left back recently?

aslong as justice is done in the final i'll be a happy man.

[Shaggy]

No idea ...personally I'd try and keep the square pegs in round holes to a minimum, so leave Puyol with Pique, Busquets in midfield and just whack Mascherano in at left back.

[JohnDoe]

Puyol is playing left back.

[Rudo]

We'll soon find out.

Just hope to god both teams go for it and it's exciting viewing.

Still pissed off watching that last night, all my manc mates been blabbing over facebook all day - 'famous man united going to Wembley' and all this ****e

[Shaggy]

It's horrendous. I'm obviously right behind Barca tonight but in the grand scheme of things it's meaningless. If the Mancs win #4 ....oh I can't bear even the thought of it

[Rudo]

Horrible thought indeed, the build up to the final will be unbearable
- Especially with it being on English soil.

Ah ****.

[Shaggy]

Yep one LFC mate of mine reckons he's "quite pleased" as it'll be nice seeing their misery unfold as they lose in the final. Like you I'll find the build-up unbearable and will ignore it as best I can. Just bury my head in the sand.
