If Alba really needs to be rested every other game nowadays, then maybe it's time to look for a back-up LB instead of wasting time and money on grandpas like Nolito.

I'm expecting a parked bus. Also all those fouls again. I wonder if this ref will allow them to foul at ease, or do something.

Arda starts!

Wow. Loving that line-up.

4-0 tonight.

Gala lineup with a Turk instead of the Croat!

 

[El Flaco]

I'd have rather seen a midfield with Rakitic-Busquets-Arda, let Vidal play ahead of Alves and Mascherano be benched.

Aside these things, great line-up!

 

[serghei]

If everybody in that midfield play to his potential and true value, that's the best midfield in the world on paper for me.

The Beard debuts tonight !

I think a lot of people have started to like Arda more and more since his transfer, because he really seems desperate for Barca. He really does.

Yeah, Barca was Arda's dream club as a kid and even said in 2011 that he wanted to play for us.

Wasn't Lucho done with rotating? Shameless "journalism".

I can't believe this isn't on TV in the UK.

Real Madrid aren't playing. Hence Sky loses interest.

Both are on about same amount. Sky don't favour Real ffs.
