Almería 26.00

Sporting Gijón 41.00
Real Unión 67.00
Poli Ejido 101.00

Guardiola is confident enough to leave Eto'o, Xavi, Gudjohnsen, and Valdes at home.
Injured are Puyol, Hleb and Marquez.

the list of 16 is Pinto, Jorquera, Piqué, Iniesta, Henry, Cáceres, Sylvinho, Bojan, Messi, Alves, Abidal, Keita, Touré Yaya, Busquets, Víctor Sánchez and Pedro. 

is is announced Aguero is on the bench. Does no one want to really win this tie? Are there more important things at present, like resting players? Is it too unsure either of these teams are going to win this copa, even if they do win this round?

I want to see:

Pinto
Alves-Pique-Caceres-Abidal
Busquets-Keita-Iniesta
Messi-Bojan-Pedro

Get an away goal or two, and then bring it back to Camp Nou where we can adjust the team strength accordingly.

Pep he saying he will be going for goals in this one,so it should be a very good game.

------------Pinto

--alves----Pique---Caceres---Abidal

---------------Busquets

------Yaya-----------------Keita

---Messi--------Bojan-------Iniesta

Confirmed.

The Barça front 3 on its own should be more than good enough to win the game.

slyvinho for abidal

goal messi, great ball by alves

typical racist spaniards, the ref decides to give a yellow to Assuncao despite it being Pongolle doing it. he was looking around trying to find him and still end up giving it to Assuncao.

i think he corrected it in the end

atletico are kicking the shit out of us

Messilona

that makes it 19 goals so far this season

Just seen Heitinga was sent off, what did he do?

he is not la liga material, especially a CB, he score be playing in holland/france .

That’s a bit harsh, when I’ve seen him play for Atletico he’s looked okay. He needs time to settle will prove to be a good acquisition for sure. So what was the sending off for?

I missed that moment, but i think that the complete back four will have nightmares every time they think about Messi.
