FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid CF | Copa del Rey final | El Clasico | 16.04.2014 | 21:30 CET

Xabi makes nonsensical mistakes which costs us matches - foul on Reus inside the penalty box, foul on Iniesta inside the penalty box( until that we were doing pretty well ,and would have held them to a draw at least.). Both he and Pepe are a liability in high profile matches , it would be a miracle to see them not making a game changing mistake from either of them . Hasn't happened in a long while tbvh .

 

Casillas, Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrão, Modrić, Xabi, Di Maria, Bale, Benzema & Isco.

 

Once del Barça: Pinto; Alves, Mascherano, Bartra, Alba; Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Neymar, Cesc y Messi

Bartra makes it back for them..

 

Way to be creative, Carletto.

I honestly think this is good for us.

 

Bench.. Diego López, Varane, Casemiro, Nacho, Morata, Illarra, Willian José.

Full of kids (and Diego )

 

Madrid fans outside Stadium.

 

Los jugadores Carles Puyol y Marc Bartra han recibido el alta médica.

Basically Puyol and Bartra were cleared by the Barca medical team to play.

 

Lol. Kids turned up for a kick about.

 

I keep reading no one cares about the CdR, this match is unimportant, etc. Clearly the fans don't think so.

 

Do you mind telling me where you saw that?

Thank you. It was just that Marca had Adriano playing instead of Bartra and I was a bit confused.

 

Good luck guys, I will be cheering you on from sunny Berkshire!

 

An hour to go...

 

Well reaching 15 pages even before the match started .

 

Let's give these cules a real lesson and beat them silly!

VAMOS!!! HALA MADRID!!!

 

Passed a late fitness test ...

 

We could be celebrating in a few hours....

Hasta la victoria siempre!

 

So Ramos-Pepe partnership and Xabi in midfield. Well.....

 

If only Xabi could have ONE STUNNING game for once... We would dominate. He's just been a weak link for way too long and I don't understand why the coach doesn't make the call.

Xavi just had a quick chin-wag with the ref. "How's the wife?"

fingers crossed for these two - ramos-varane.
