Thanjk you.

Eto'o will be fit for the second leg, Messi will be sharper. There's no WAY Barcelona can play worse than they did tonight.
That said, we're in control of this tie and should progress.
I'd play this side...
---------Crouch--Kuyt
Riise-----------------------Gerrard
--------Alonso----Sissoko
New Kid--Agger--Carra--Finnan
--------------Reina
I dont know.
I think they could be inline for another defeat, probably a worse one too.
Was watching Giles on RTE last night after the game, and what he said rounded it up perfectly.
There are too many problems at Barcelona, the camp is divided, problems within the club from players, presidents coaching staff and even agents stiring it up.
Football has an uncanny abaility for the teams problems be it even off the field, to manifest on the pitch. Rijkaard hasn't got control over things, and wont either before the return.
Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.
