Lliga: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 3-1

Alves had to be subbed off in the first Clasico of the 12/13 season if I can recollect correctly and Montoya took his place. At the dying minutes of that game, Montoya hit the woodwork!

ESPN broadcast that match last weekend and from what I remember Montoya wasn't bad. He performed some great long passes at the ending, created some chances and almost scored. Seriously, I'd start that Montoya any day over Alves.

VAMOS!!!!!! :barca scarf:
Btw it's sad to read some of the comments by barca supporters (like "we are going to lose, madrid is much better, our defence is sh*t etc). C'mon, do Barca always need to prove to it's fan's that they are worth something? The fans may have very big influence to Barca's success so more confidence and faith to our club wouldn't be bad at all.

I think it is tough not to think they have the better chance ,it is close ,I mean really close and I think everyone knows that but RM has slight advantage IMO .they are playing at home for 1st
They are hitting their top form and their weakness isn't glaring as Barca .but definitely we have the players who can win us such a game

IMO lots of ppl here are pessimistic because of PSG game when they had counters one after another and we couldn't defend against set-pecies and this is exactly what Ancelloti is planning to do today.

I think Carlo will bring in some surprise like ramos at DM last time. For us it maybe that 4 midfielders which is not exactly a surprise because that is what we do in big matches at least last season. Plus having pedro start is worse than 4 mids imo. I am not too confident about Suarez starting, he may be best striker and all but this is not some Arabian country or Indonesian U19, it is fucking real madrid and i think he needs more game time to start.

Mathieu Masch Pique and Alves defense will be played no doubt about it. Busi Iniesta Messi and Neymar will start too. Rakitic Suarez Xavi only two will start.

Madrid may have a bit bigger chance to win but it shouldn't make us, the supporters, support our team less and make us quiet while it's our chance to support the team!

We should just be careful to not touch cr7 in the box, if we manage to do that we will be fine guys. Our players always step up their game against Madrid. Iniesta and Pique will put a world class performance i am sure of it.

No alba? Our only world class player in defense? Dont think so.

What?

Alba has been stagnant in his development, I thought he would really be world class by now. Maybe he needs some real competitor for LB and we found that in Mathieu. Adriano was never more than a multifunctional backup for many positions at the back, but Mathieu has impressed me when he played there. I actually would like to start with Mathieu, especially since Bale isn't starting at RW for RM.
