Just a thought. If we lose today, this means that there is no chance in hell of Unuze getting appointed head coach whereas the reverse would make it pretty much possible. Would you take a loss to Madrid to avoid becoming Milan 2.0?
Think it'll be a humiliating defeat tonight. Real have the best midfield in the world and Ronaldo has suddenly found his scoring mojo lately. It's their full backs i'm more concerned about though, Marcelo and Carvajal are amazing.
They're up against a team with no defence, and the most disjointed midfield in the league, and no Neymar to carry the attack forwards. Messi doesn't do that anymore, he's going to have a dual role in midfield/attack.
EDIT - For the first time in about 8 years I fear the worst, it feels like the end of the Rijkaard era.
People here act like Real is some unbeatable Team, playing superb football.... Barca have some problems this year, but still barca can beat this Real Side in a good day. I believe Barca will also win tonight and make it really hard for real by only 3 points behind... also they could slip away by playing against Atletico in the CL and drop some points in La Liga... 6 Points is not much, if barca win tonight, everything is possible!
There are only 3 factors that can destroy us tonight: biased ref, Gomes and Mathieu.
