Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

[Valon]

In the news here it said he'll be missing the final but that might not be true. I usually don't believe the press here.

 

[jairzinho]

great ,we ll think of Man Utd players as of Real's and destroy them,as Boluda likes to say--chorrear

hahahahaha i like that !!...can't find a better way to be motivated

 

[Quash]

Exactly, hopefully that night in the Bernabeu will be imprinted on their minds and stoke the fire!

Not bad, except I really doubt busquets performance as a DM.

That was on their cover. We could be playing with only 2 defenders. Scary when you think about it...

I dont know if its going to work out..But this was the line up which i felt Pep was going to put forward..the problem is Busquets has to link from defense to offense...If he doesnt provide the supply properly we might see Xavi dropping back and something similar to the Chelsea game!.Puyol and Keita will probably be asked to not go forward too much in attack to prevent the likes of Ronaldo and probably Park..

 

[Gnegneri]

i would sub keita for sylvinho then. we need one back that hits superb crosses. plus he can shoot on target and is quite fast, no?

Puyolo should be the defensive one, bit of a mirror image of our normal eleven then

 

[Quash]

Hmm that doesn't look remotely believable to me, how dependable are the XI the newspapers usually post? Why would we play Keita at LB when we have an uninjured LB available to us? As Greg says, Sly can hit crosses, has impressed me with his defending lately, has a metric fuckton of experience, and is fast for an old dude.

Ticket needed for final please help!

 

[0n0mat0p0eia]

The line up has to be:

Valdes
Caceres Puyol Pique Silvinho
Toure
Xavi Iniesta
Messi Eto'o Henry (if uninjured)

Yaya has to play DM not CB. Puyol and Pique are the best CBs we have available. If we must have weaknesses, it is best its not through the middle. Imho.

 

[JALJM]

I may be wrong, but I don't have a good feeling abt that CR7 vs Keita match-up, especially if the DM helping Keita is Busquets....
Sylvinho seems like a better bet to me.

I would be 100% satisfied with this line-up.

I agree, but it`s safe to say that Toure will be starting as CD since Pep played him there at Stamford Bridge and Mestalla. I`m not happy with Busquets as DM either.
