We should be able to beat them all, except the goal difference record (we'll be conceding quite a few especially in La Liga, considering we'll be resting Puyol more and more). We might even beat that if we score like crazy, but I'm not counting on it, since Mascherano will be starting over Puyol in most La Liga games.
I'm not too worried about our defense for the CL or the Cup though, our defense is pretty beastly when Puyol is in it, as we saw in the Cup game against Real. Not to mention I don't think there's been a single game where Puyol and Pique played the full 90 minutes in which we conceded more than 1 goal, despite the fact that we haven't had a lot of clean sheets this season. And a lot of them were garbage time consolation goals, like the goals by Getafe, Malaga and Bilbao. Basically, I'm not too worried about our defense when Puyol plays (and he most likely will in the cup and CL games). We definitely need to get a new CB in the summer though, Puyol's getting old.
