Pretty tough opponent. I'm not sure how the tiny Barca squad will continue to hold up playing twice every week.

Tricky, tricky tie.
Alfredo Di Stéfano, Real Madrid's greatest ever player and the honorary president, spoke out. "Barcelona's football was simply brilliant," he said in his weekly column. "Their superiority was there for the whole planet to see: the whites were cornered all game. Barcelona play football and dance. They treat the ball with adoration and respect, almost nurturing it. To see this team in action is a delight."

Some topsports are to be played 2 games in 3 days...
The only thing I worry about is that Barca doesn't finish the game in the first half. Then they have to fight all the game through and the opponent gets nasty so we get injuries...

Valencia defenitely would have fancied some other team in the semi final, but unfortunately the feeling would be mutual lol.
Emery knows how to play against Barcelona be it home or away. His team will defenitely give a tough fight. Pep has already got a taste of his medicine early in the season so I hope its a different affair this time. Our team plays absolutely with no rest! Feeling bad for the squad.Being a part of FC Barcelona makes me feel like a born Catalan. When I see Barca play I do not see just a sport from them but I see a Country's pride, prestige and passion. FC Barcelona has given me great joy and happiness in the darkest times of my Life. I will forever be indebted for this great club for which I will support and stand by its side even after my story ends.
Thank You FC Barcelona. I LOVE YOU.

This years match at Valencia was tough. But this will be decided over 2 matches. That's a big difference. If Barca can overcome the first 20-30 minutes of the first game I think they will succeed simply.

Valencia is harder opponent than Madrid. But if we win against them, we're going to play against Bilbao in final.

We will go out...
"I pass and I move, I help you, I look for you, I stop, I raise my head, I look and, above all, I open up the pitch...The one who has the ball, is the master of the game...That's the school of Joan Vilà, of Albert Benaiges, of Johan Cruijff, of Pep Guardiola" - Xavi Hernandez
!!Visca Barça!! !!Visca Catalunya!!

Real Madrid, Valencia and possibly Bilbao in the finals. I'm super excited about the CdR this year.
I predict a narrow 2-1 win for us.(...) and Carrick was faced with Xavi and Iniesta coming past him, and Messi in behind him. That’s 3rd, 2nd and 1st in last year’s World Footballer of the Year award forming a triangle around him – he desperately needed help (...)

Barca hold a key advantage here again, however, where Busquets has carved out a niche in shadowing deep-lying attackers. He knows what they eat for breakfast.
