on the messi ibra connection; this game will be by far the most serious game for barca so far this season. pep is aware of that so I'm sure we'll see a strong determination from the players. The squad will have to display their best game and show that FCB is back for a new Crown! Messi will be Messi, Ibra is the one with the most pressure to perform against his old team, and I'll be expecting the best from him! watch for him to be more creative and open chances for messi, henry and the Attacking Midfielders. for good or for bad, Ibra never does what you expect him to do, or he does what you never expected from him, thats why i enjoy watching him play. he knows that he'll be playing against his old team and I sense he'll rather have an assist against them than a goal to highlight the difference between him and eto'o. or i could be wrong and maybe he'll go for one of his thunderbolt shots. it will be a fun game to watch!
