the spanish media made clear that Puyi's being subbed was onlya precation and he'll be ready to play on wednesday ..

if pep plays puyol against BATE i will be pissed. seriously there is absolutely zero reason to do that. we NEED him for classico, no ifs ands or buts.

With all the respect to Macherano, we need our captain more than him against Madrid. Hope he gets well fast.

Well not really, Masch he's been looking better than Puyol at the back, especially this season. Fact is that Puyol hasn't been filly fit in a while and hasn't played that many games this season, and I'm not sure if we should be throwing him right in the middle of the action in the bernabeu, I don't think Masch's place should be sacrificed for Puyols at this point in time. Pique's been looking a bit dodgy so maybe he can sit thus one out but personally I'd go for Masch-Pique at CB.

While agree that Macherano is a better CB at the moment, Puyol offers something different to this team than him. He's a leader out there, he instructs others to get into positions and gives them reassurance, confidence. He makes others play better, that's why Pique is a lot more disciplined player when he's on the pitch. I think Puyol's presence is a must in that game.

Yes, he was a BOSS. I'll happily eat my own words, suggesting Mascherano should start ahead of him. He should play until he is 40.

Feel so much more confident with him in our team and he only reinforced that confidence we all have him in him anyway. Greatest. Captain. Ever.
