Lliga: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 3-1

Mathieu at left back is an interesting choice from Lucho.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

Mascherano and Pique at the back worries me. I wish we had two Mathieus lol.

Just a word of caution. La Liga is apparently planning a massive DDOS attack against rojadirecta.es to remove all the streams.

If this is the case, wiziwig.tv is a safe bet. Or go directly to zonasports.se/canal-1.shtml (great Spanish HD stream) or use sopcast/acestream. These usually show up as offline to prevent a lot of people from accessing the streams. Try connecting 15-30 minutes before kickoff

Didnt know that. but do you know any good sopcast streams , been trying to find one but no luck.

We are gonna miss Rakitic' workrate today. Honestly, I don't expect Xavi to cover for Alves' ass all the time :icon_neutral:

 

[te amo barca]

WOW. SUAREZ.
dissapointed not to see Raki though.

 

[Heisenberg is cooking]

I dont understand shit: Xavi? Mathieu left? No alba? Suarez? You better nail this enrique, cause that is a crazy line up!

This.

I love the golden trio of Iniesta, Busi and Xavi. But Rakitic really has shown what we were missing with the decline of Xavi. On the other hand, when Xavi returned last time he played very well

But xavi means we keep the ball more and do more with it when attacking, so there are less counters to worry about, its a positive choice.

 

[Zebulun]

Oh Yes, return of the holy MF, xavi, messi, iniesta. that could only mean one thing.

 

[pacp_96]

Good line up I think. Perhaps the thinking behind Mathieu is to have a more defensive LB. Back to the Abidal - Alves days.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

No Rakitic but Suarez starts. Do not like it.

 

[xavi_the_Boss]

I like that line up.

 

[spark]

Praise God Mathieu LB. We have an adult size LB for the first time since abidal's diagnosis.

 

[Devils]

I think it has more so to do with Iniesta and Rakitic now clicking as a midfield duo and having very little connection between each other.

Xavi has been great recently and probably deserves to start.

That defence looks really good. Kind of resembles Alves/Puyi/Pique/Abi

 

[Alarcón]

If our midifield trio was as good as 3-4 years ago it would already be game over
