Real vs Barca Sun 6pm

KdjaCL

Puyol and Ronnie fit atm so almost full panel to pcik from, Real also near full strength.

9 points between them 8 games to play so technically still possible for Real to catch them.

Should be a cracker.

Yea should be a great game, I'd be betting on Barca to come out on top but should be close.

Best match in the world to watch IMO. Pity TV3 or someone couldnt buy rights to these two games each year. Its always quality. Maybe a petition could be started.

Anyway, I think Reál are going with 4-3-3, once they get the ball they are going to send it straight up to Raúl & co. I doubt this is a long ball stuff though.

Barca have only to get a draw to win La Liga and I reckon they will get it. 2-2 draw im going for.

Can't see that being a possibility. "Hey sky, we know you pay millions for rights to La Liga, but is there any chance we could show the two top draw games each season and bring them down a levell or two with our coverage?"

KdjaCL

In Spain real and barca get 80% of the tv money so wouldnt be hard to get those games on Rte or TV3.


Great thing about tonight is Real have to win, nothing but a win is enough wouldn surprise me if they have new manager tomorrow if they lose.

I bet on real to win by the single most dodgiest ref decision of all time

Any live streams?

Yeah, must must win match for Real. This is gona be great

Makaveli

I don't care what score it is as long as Barcelona win. 2-1 I reckon though.
No Deco, so Giuly should start. Eto'o loves to score against Real Madrid I hope he does tonight. Ronaldinho and Puyol haven't been confirmed as fit as of yet. I hope to God they are fit enough to play though.

This is already a great game

Aquos76

Very good start to the game. Real should really have taken the lead after a outstanding cross from DB. Only some good defending stopped Raul for heading in at the far post


Goal ZiZu has just scored. he looks injured though, looks like he hit the post with his head

KdjaCL

Zidane hit the post ohhhh thats gonna hurt.


btw quite literally diving header scored and then he flew into the post and cracked his head, Raul off getting stitches too , tasty game

Aquos76

2-0 ronaldo. An excellent freekick swung in by DB again

PHB

paybacks a bitch, terrible defending

_blank_

Real playing really wll so far, Gravesen doing some great work as the defending midfielder, Ronaldinho isn't getting a look in.

Great cross by DB23 for the second goal, but Barca's defence was all over the place.

Its an excellent game all right, can see more goals in it.

KdjaCL

Owen is doing a houdini i can see him then i cant...thats some trick.


bet he scores now done feck all in this game.
wish i had a "punch Gerry Armstrong button" on my remote, Sky should make one.

Barca should have had a peno , Casilias half way towards another MOTM award, hes had more of the ball than any other Real player made some super saves.

3-1 Raul, in injury time of the first half. Kdjac, you are spot on about Owen. he will be taken of after 60mins IMO

KdjaCL

And against run of play , half time now.


Best 45 minutes of football you see anywhere, 2nd half prolly be cack but that 1st half with the exception of Owen everyone played well.

kdjac

KdjaC, are you calling the Eto'o challenge a penalty, I don't know about that, Beckham's tackle was clean, then Eto'o fell over, maybe the halftime re-showing might change my mind though, but at the time, I thought the ref got it right.

Great work by Roberto Carlos for Raul's goal too, 'keeper was unlucky though.

Makaveli

How the fúck are they leading 3-1?
Barcelona should be winning this game, after Eto'o scored they could have scored another 2 or 3, then Madrid break just before half time and score a fúcking 3rd goal.
Both defences are playing shít. I can't believe we've conceeded three in the first half, I'm unbelieveably pissed off right now. Squandering chances and shocking defensive display.

Oh, and I hate that twat Rob Palmer.

Have to disagree with you there, I think Madrid have had the better chances and could easily be further ahead. Terrific game.

KdjaCL

Ball never moved from its direction but player did usually a peno

Tbh Barca should score 2nd half unless Owen comes off for a proper player.

kdjac

PHB

Yeah, I normally am kinda barca biased, but Real Madrid have bossed this game, with Barca making some chances.
Amazing contribution by all players, and Owen hasn't been playing great just because the other players are just being amazing

Makaveli

After Eto'o scored Barcelona were bossing the game. They made three or four solid chances and Real Madrid began to drop back. Gio should have scored, Eto'o should have scored, Giuly could have scored twice. They need to start putting them away, the Madrid defence bar Helguera is suspect. Pavon cannot deal with Giuly and Eto'o and Roberto Carlos seems happy to let Giuly get behind time and time again.

Aquos76

Here's hoping the second half lives up to the first. Here we go again

Aquos76

That was some play from Barco, great save from keeper mind you

thejollyrodger

whats the score now?

Aquos76

time to eat our words... what a goal by owen

4-1 another wonderful pass by DB

Aquos76

Barca have just be denied a penaly

Aquos76

4-2 Ronaldino

_blank_

Great ball from Beckham for the Owen goal, well finished.

But, what a class Free Kick from Ronaldinho to make it 4-2, unbelievable.

Definitely was a penalty for the foul on Maxi, but ref bottled it.

KdjaCL

Free kick by Ronaldinho he just kicked it into the net, keeper didnt even move.

Superb goal, and Owen scored shockingly done nothing else whatsoever of note in this game, keeper shouldnt have been beaten, bad goalkeeping went right tru him.

kdjac

KdjaCL

Etooooooooo gone off broken.

Another free to Barca ronnie steps up.....

/totally wrong but anyone else think etoooo looks like the kid of the Trocaire box?

Beckham has actually had a great game.

How badly hurt does Eto'o look? Going to the Nou Camp next Sunday and I'd hate for him not to be playing.

he has had a good game but in the past when he has had bad game they still praise him

Owen had a great game if that performance didnt get him on the first team
nothing will

and Gravencen had an awsome game

wheres me jumpa

didnt look good, he was screaming on the stretcher. he was just passing the ball and went down, nobody hear him. how much it costing to get to the nou camp?
