Kinda feel like the ref won't be too bad for us. It'd be too obvious.

 

[MIXA]

The refereeing in Classicos is usually quite good and we have actually benefited from some decisions in recent times.

But I believe that it is all just a huge hoax. They know that the whole world is watching so they dare not show their true colors in this fixture. It is also a way of convincing the world that Barcelona's idea of ref corruption is a false one.

The refs will go back to screwing us once the normal fixtures resume.

+1

I am not affraid of refs. Whole world is watching after Bayern grand theft.

But I am afraid of counters and corners.

And yes. I want Barça to WIN THIS F MATCH!

How time flies...

At the time I knew we were whitnessing something special but I couldn't have guessed this generation led by Messi would turn into dominant force of World football.

 

[Barcaman]

I'd play Denis as LF. He used to be play wide in Villarreal and should be comfortable there. I'll ne very disappointed if Arda somehow makes it.

 

[Windhook]

I'll be very disappointed if Arda somehow makes it.

Me too. Before the previous El Clasico, Arda said things like "I have a great feeling we are winning this game". He's got some of Pele's psychic abilities.

Denis shouldn't be a starter in such a big game, his poor form is my main concern. It's the match of the season for us, sadly. Here are my options:

1) Luis Suarez as LF, Paco as CF
2) Luis Suarez as LF, Messi as false 9, Sergi Roberto as RF. It's been awhile since Pepe and Messi clashed. Joking, Pepe is injured.
3) Arda as LF! Game over, señor Enrique.
4) Denis as LF
5) Jordi Alba as LF, Mathieu LB - GAME OVER.

i just don't want humiliaton like against psg or juve,i'm mentally prepared for ronaldo to score atleast one
this is the first time in few years where i'm almost certain real will win,hope the boys will prove me wrong

Odds definitely aren't in our favour. We need a win to keep the league alive, but I think we will be fortunate to get a draw.

 

[Iarwain]

This actually looks good:

[MIXA]

I would go with a 4-2-3-1

Roberto-Pique-Umtiti-Alba
Masch-Busi
Messi-Rakitic-Iniesta
Suarez

 

[serghei]

Messi needs to play on the right, and give more effort than in the last game vs Madrid. Otherwise, Marcelo will create havoc again against our weak right side. If that happens, we have a shot at beating Madrid. I don't think it will though...

 

[Gaudi]

You never no what Barca will turn out, hopefully some angry motivated one...but if everything goes normal we'll see the difference between two teams. RM will defend as a unit, with front 3 just arround center line. Of course they are not the bes defensive line ever to lived but they will form one. You'll see even CR down there. Behind them midfield standing close and not just in line so they'll cover those in-between lines zones....and defenders following their midfield closely.
And then, you'll have us. Suarez will run towards Navas like a med men when Navas will have like 10 options who to pass. Messi will stand uninterested, and if we had Neymar he would be angry on the left. Of cousre our 3 team midfield will get overrun with ease so you'll have our defenders doing 1 vs 1 all the time. They are actually good in thoose, but when you win 9/10 1 vs 1 it's still a goal that one you lost. Add a set piece and aerial power and they'll score at least 2. We'll play with short passing, no movement and Iniesta turning slowly with ball because he has noone free. Maybe with some magic from Messi we'll score, maybe not but we'll play the same for 90 mins.

Of course maybe we see a angry, hungry Barca in some God mode, which I hope is the true, but that's for gamblers to discuss.

 

[Devils]

If Real Madrid ever want to hit us back for 6-2, 5-0 and 4-0, they wont get a better chance. There is no way we will be this bad next season.

I'm not optimistic, but if we play with hunger and determination I think we can get a draw, or maybe even win.

 

[Raketa10]

I am optimistic for tomorrow, we will play good for sure you'll see.
