Let's hope for Leo's 400th win Times: Our last time to play Atletico here before their new stadium opens (though we will also play the Copa final here in May): Some random tweets by Barcastuff: Arda Turan, who was absent for two weeks, will be available for the game against Atletico, whilst Mascherano is still doubtful #fcblive [as] Ter Stegen: "Alves was the DJ and it’s been difficult to replace him and I think now it’s Busquets. I think it’s Busi now at the moment." Gomes was hurt immensely at the prospect of being whistled by fans at Camp Nou & had to be cheered up by teammates after the game. [sport] Simeone: "We played three extraordinary halves (against Barça) and we are out of the cup. They are better" First time playing with a weeks rest since the new year began. Hope that helps. Saw a graphic about how barca has run the least total meters of all CL teams remaining. MAtS Roberto-Pique-Umtiti-Alba Raki-DJ Busi-Ini M-S-N 2-2
One booking away from suspension: Piqué Playing with three bookings: Messi, Rakitic, Sergi Roberto Upcoming Liga fixtures: J25 (H) Sporting Gijón J26 (H) Celta J27 (A) Deportivo
Where is this game broadcast? It's not showing up on direct tv other then tape delay on bein sport at 8pm eastern
Squad list: [1/2] Squad that'll travel to Madrid: Ter Stegen, Cillessen, Piqué, Rakitic, Busquets, Denis, Iniesta, Suárez, Messi, Neymar, Rafinha. [fcb][2/2] Squad that'll travel to Madrid: Alcácer, Jordi Alba, Digne, Sergi Roberto, André Gomes, Umtiti and Mathieu #fcblive [fcb] Missing players: Arda Turan, Mascherano, Aleix Vidal and Masip #fcblive [fcb] Already mentioned Masch not likely cleared, whereas Arda was looking ready to play, could really use him against his old mates but either he was not cleared medically and/or just not in game shape to play.
A trip to the roach motel...and I'm afraid our raid isn't strong enough and the roaches will overcome us 2-1
I have a good feeling about this game but then I know we end up losing points to mid-table teams. So no point me getting high expectation.
and Lucho again plays Rafinha in the midfield ... no one can put through his thick skull of his that rafinha can't defend and is better suited to play as a winger ? and that rakitic or denis are better in midfield ? seriously lucho seem to ALWAYS want to screw up the midfield and end up ********ing up both defense and offense in the end because the link between the two will be missing , can't wait for his stupid ass to leave at the end of the season although if the president had any balls he would've gotten rid of him after the PSG defeat. Rafinha and roberto defending the right wing .... this will be painful to watch
Alba and Digne on the bench, and Mathieu starting. is anyone able to help me understand this? many thanks
Lucho gonna Lucho, experimenting again in a crucial match. Probably rotating both Alba and Digne to be fresh for PSG game in two weeks!
He's only becoming good because Barca is becoming crap, he's getting lots of practice now [emoji23] ATM is running the show but I think Barca will score first, tables have turned one can hope.
Looks like it barely touched Suarez hand, but I think the ref didn't see that. He may have called a foul on the GK, which I didn't see.
