Italy, Holland and Chile probably will try to rebuild and select newer players. Teams would be similar to what Germany sent to the Confederation Cup. It would be a B team event.
This is one of Spurs greatest ever teams. As much as I hated losing to them I don’t hold anything against them. It is one of the biggest wins in the history of their club, and for us in the end it will be a forgettable group game match, let them enjoy it. I would prefer them winning the league over most sides, especially United.
So it's settled now Cavani concedes and admits that Neymar is now the official PSG penalty taker.https://t.co/G5fAHwFgtf#PSG #Ligue1 pic.twitter.com/j1FSHK8yLI— AS USA (@English_AS) November 19, 2017

8 straight wins for Valencia. Refs usually screw them over against Barca though so not much hope next week.
Nevermind mind that Valencia is Barca's farm club. I'm sure both teams will hit the tapas bar together before the match to talk about how great it'll be to play in Catalonia next season.
Valencia wouldn't be part of Catalonia, and is actually very pro-Spanish. Laporta got beat up there when he went to visit once. I don't think Valencia will win against Barça, one of the reasons they took points from us is also because we aren't playing our normal game. But they have improved this season, so here's hoping for a draw and hopefully me being wrong and them beating 'em up Laporta stylé.
That's not what my message meant if I'm who you were addressing. They bend over for Barca every time and then they sell their best products to Barca.
Valencia has been playing really well this year but we’ll see if they can take any points off Barca. Not getting my hopes up. All we can really do in the league is stay positive and keep picking up points. Obviously we probably need to win both Clasico’s at this point. It’s a long season and Barca has an older squad without much depth in a year where guys will want to be healthy for the World Cup. They depend on Messi so much that even one shorter term injury to him could give us a window back into the title race.
They won't even put up a fight. Historically they love nothing more than to bend to barca; on and off three pitch
Last 4 matches at the Mestalla have included 2 draws and 2 wins for Barca by a one goal margin, one which included Valencia being robbed by the refs since Barca were in need of all the help they could get early last season. Will be a tight game, hoping for at least another draw considering Valencia's form.
Yeah I don't remember them bending over at all. Actually, wasn't the last gane very physical asbd full of drama?

Zaza said they should invent a new award for Messi the other day. Waiting for him to run for a Barca shirt during halftime.
He said it more (jokingly) so he could still get a prize though, and mentioned Ronaldo in the same breath ("even though he's not scoring as much this season") https://en.as.com/en/2017/10/21/football/1508611250_284019.html Just because a team loses to Barça doesn't automatically mean they bend over for them. It can be due to a lot of factors (I also remember a recent Valencia game where they were robbed by the ref against them) and seems like it's more used to excuse us not getting enough points "because they play better against us". If we had played to our level, we would have won against them too. I would put any difference in getting points against them due to that (and I think possibly some ref decision, but I'm not sure if it was that game) as opposed to them ramping it up against us versus doing the same against Barça.
Spurs losing 1-0, based on what i found, firs tiebreaker is superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question; ... so if scores hold, Real should finish on top? am i missing something ?
