Only one more chance for Real Madrid to lose points at Malaga (all 3 must be lost to make a difference to Barca), desperate times call for desperate measures: We play at the same time as them, 2 pm Eastern, 11 am Pacific at home: in Barcelona - Park Güell pictured: We need to win to keep pressure up on Real, even if Real get a big lead we'd like to end with a win, celebrate Lucho's 3 years as first team coach, maybe celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 1992 triump in Wembley. Well rested so expecting to see pretty much Grand Once but Pique just got over stomach virus and Masch hurt his hamstring before Las Palmas. Sergi Roberto is eligible once again. Vidal, Rafinha, and Mathieu are injured. Lineup prediction:: MAtS Roberto-Marlon-Umtiti-Alba Raki-Busi-Ini M-S-N 3-0 win, please. Goal.com predicts the same for whatever that is worth: http://www.goal.com/en/news/722/la-...team-news-injuries-suspensions-and-line-up-vs Card update: Roberto back after serving suspension. I think a 5th YC may carry over to next season's first match but unclesox can likely confirm if that is the case. Card Count: 4: Alba, Umtiti 3:/8. Gomes, Busquets (8), Suarez (8)
Just a heads-up for @Forzabarca , @puyol : There will be a ceremony for Lucho before this match in case they want to get tickets and be there in-person to pay tribute to one of their favorite ever Barca managers.
This year Barça enters the last round with a chance to win the league with the most goals scored and maybe second-best goal differential in club history, and currently sits +14 goals over Madrid. To call this a bad season isn't correct; we've just been inconsistent. And even in this subpar campaign, LPB has had to fight til the last jornada.
Not sure who said that here not long ago but many including who repped your post agreed with him trophies >> performances, we got neither. Doesn't matter how many goals MSN has scored if we don't win trophies at the end and/or having some worst game performances since Rijkaard's last season. The highlight of the season for me was the PSG return leg and Messi's outstanding season. Nothing more I can take from this season.
Barca was not beaten out right in any game this season in the league. They ********ed up mostly and teams like Barca shouldn't ******** up! I know you guys already know what I think about MATS but his ******** ups have made an impact in those games against Depor and Malaga and Celta. But most blame goes to Lucho. I think he also regrets now that he experimented way too much.. and unnecessary. So so close..
Barça XI: Ter Stegen, Rakitic, Sergio, Iniesta, Suárez, Messi, Neymar, J.Alba, S.Roberto, Umtiti, Marlon So as predicted MAtS Roberto-Marlon-Umtiti-Alba R-B-I M-S-N
Both BeIn channels are showing RM x Malaga ? WTF ? A week ago some idiots were bitching that BeIn English was showing the Barca game and not RM. I wonder what they think of this. I guess I have to resort to their website.
Ha, ha, ha who would have predicted that. The only surprise being that Malaga waited 1 minute before giving LPB a goal.
For me Gomes has destroyed the team in all competitions ( Copa still loading and he has nearly got us out of it as well )
