Lliga | Round 8: Atlético de Madrid vs. FC Barcelona 1-1

[JamDav1982]

Great to hear these types of comments. This, together with the whole not allowing Barça fans into the stadium, should get the team fired up nicely

He is fairly complimentary about Barca really.

 

[Barcaman]

Squad list:

Goalkeepers: Ter Stegen, Cillessen
Defenders: Semedo, Piqué, Umtiti, Mascherano, Alba, Digne
Midfielders: Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta, Denis, Paulinho, Sergi Roberto, André Gomes
Attackers: Messi, Suárez, Deulofeu
-----------
Injured: Rafinha, Dembélé, Arda

[raki]

Not sure should both Messi and Suarez start given the matches they played recently and the trip. Give each a half would be wiser.

Nope. We need both and still not enough

Hoping to see Deu start and Roberto in midfield. I'll be OK with if we get a draw, predicting a close win.

Same for me. Maybe Denis should start too and maybe he will as Iniesta is coming after injury.

 

[Albo]

Don't want Suarez to start here. He has struggled a lot against players who play a physical game lately + just came back from SA.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Huhu. This will be extremely tough away game. All the international games and so. I just hope by some miracle we come out with 3 points, but well see. Messi and Suarez should rest, but we can't rest them.. Very tough spot.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

“Barcelona are one of the best teams in the world, but Real Madrid are better now. (Barca) Have reinvented themselves after the departure of Neymar. They do not stop wanting to win. They have a winning gene, they do not get tired.” - Simeone

Simeone always compliments Barcelona. Sometimes it even feels like he wants to coach Barcelona, because the compliments he gives and whenever he talks about Messi.

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

1 point would be a good result for us. Suarez absolutely should not play. His fat ass is travelling all the way from South America to Madrid and is still injured with that cyst on his knee. I wouldn't let him near the first team until he gets operated on or otherwise he's going to have a negative impact on our game.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Semedo better start.

 

[raskolnikov]

Suarez needs surgery before things get worse. Messi should not start either. If we can play without them and get a draw here I would be satisfied.

In Turkey again. Will hold bar staff at gun-point and force them to show the match.

Just tell them is playing, then I'm sure they'll be more than happy to put the game on.
