2011 UEFA Super Cup: Barca - Porto 2-0

[Bilal Khan]

FC Barcelona vs FC Porto
Friday; 26th August
Stadium: Louis II, Monaco.

[goope]

Villa-boas left to Chelsea, Falcao left to Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona smashed Madrid and won the Spanish Supercup without having a preseason and has more than a week to prepare only for the UEFA Supercup.

The Gamper trophy won't be any pressure so the players can get practice but can also play cautious so they don't get injured.
I have a very good feeling.

[XaviFCB]

yes, quite confident about this.

i would like to see hulk in action

Not sure about smashed...pretty tight game, anyhow with Falcao gone it should be a little easier, but other than the odd game i haven't really seen Porto, vs Villareal though they were carved open countless of time just Villareal couldn't put the chances away

[PhilS]

I assume the strike will wipe out this game also?

[Science Kid]

Why would it?It's a European competition,it has nothing to do with the strike.For example,Sevilla and Atletico Madrid played yesterday in the Europa Cup and they're playing their rematches next Thursday,a day before our match.

how good is hulk?

[rmpcsl]

he is a good player with a strong body and quickness strong shoot(not directed well most of the times) but not so great as everybody thinks and besides it will be Abi defending him so it should be ok.
And he is bit selfish always try to shoot the ball.

[Daemul]

We should comfortably win this with Falcao gone, 12th trophy under Pep on its way

[SwiftGuyver]

yeah Villas-Boas & Falcao are gone and Pereira looks like he's on his way out soon as well...

they still have very good players in Moutinho (although he may be off too!), Hulk, Defour, Alex Sandro, Walter etc etc etc but i can't see anything other than a Barca win...

[Pepe Silvia]

I hope we come out and steamroll these chumps.

[Galning]

I assume the strike will wipe out this game also?

No.

[Barcaman]

I like that Barca will be playing Gamper and Super Cup while the strike is on.
We need more time to get into the groove and these 2 matches are perfect for it.

[Daemul]

I agree Bojan, we are clearing not yet fit and these two games will help us get back our sharpness and also help Sanchez and Cesc intergrate into the team.

[richieg07]

what do you think the lineup will look like against porto
