Lliga | Round 10: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 5-1

[El Gato]

Heart wants the win no matter what, brain makes me doubt this whole direction we have going on. Perez pumping money into the stadium and/or Neymar project only does not seem solid in the least. Getting battered here would at least give him reason to doubt himself, while any somewhat positive result may prolong Lopetegui's stay, even if he was burned at the stake by backroom officials and some of the team.

Torn as always.

Good luck.

He didn't contribute a lot apart from the goal.

And that's why Aleix Vidal was playing a lot in the 2nd half of the season. He scored a scrappy goal against Madrid and that's enough for Ernie.

I seriously doubt that Valverde prepares himself for each match watching tapes and trying to find holes in opponent's play. He just sticks to one thing until it fails. And that's deadly in CL knockouts.

kinda feel sad for semedo. dont know what the guys has to do to play over fucking Robertoalves.

Exactly. We will be killed from Robertos side again. When is Valverde going to learn?

 

[Messigician]

didn't bob get a red card for being rash the last clasico?

Ah yes but he is young himself. He has learned from that incident anyway laliga was won

It is important no such thing happens now. When title race is still on

He is 26, 27 in 4 months. Not exactly young for a footballer.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Madrid's roster looks excellent. We don't have the same attacking threat without Messi. I hope we can score two today.

Roberto is Valverde's first choice. It is as simple as that. It does not matter what Semedo does, he will not be starter. Same happened last season where Semedo had a string of good performances and was suddenly dropped.

Arthur is playing because there was a gap in the 11 for him, and he suits the style of play that Valverde wants to play. But if Iniesta was still here, Arthur would not be playing.

Not a bad line-up imo. Rafinha played well vs Inter and is rewarded with a start. Semedo for Roberto and that's about it for me, but Roberto can play well too, he has had good games vs Madrid in the past. It's obvious Valverde likes Roberto more.

Let's hope Roberto will hold his own against Madrid's left side.

he was 25 at that time and semedo is 24. 25 is not considered young anymore.

I thought it would be a Semedo Roberto right side. This makes me nervous. Visca!

THIS. Not sure why people are acting surprised that Bob starts. You should know by now that Ernie has his favorites. Anyways i hope we spank them.

Madrid for the win.

If madrid were smart they would switch bale to Roberto's wing, it should be a massacre.

Some fake fans hate Roberto so much they would rather we lose just to say Semedo shoud have started.

Just a couple of months ago we had this discussion about how Madrid so much set for the future and Barca is doing crap in preparing the next years. I take it you don't see it as clean cut anymore?

 

[Raketa10]

I don't think any team will take to much risk. This could end up with a draw.
