    Copa Final 2015: Athletic - Barça 1-3 !!!CAMPIONS!!!

    So would Athletic. FCB-Athletic is a well-known football rivalry. They would want revenge after the two lost finals too. Lastly they are a better team than Espanyol. A Catalan derby in the final is a game that you would look forward to for weeks. As a fan you want to see such games.

    Lliga: Barca - Villarreal 3-2

    I really like Villarreal as a club. Games against them are mostly always hard. I expect this one to follow the tradition regardless of the team being in a very good form. Piqué and Alves should be rested due to the possibility of them getting a suspension. FCB is after all playing against...

    Gerard Piqué

    It's a strange name for native Spanish speakers. My second native language is Spanish and I don't know any person called Milan. Both names are of Slavic origin. I thought that they would choose something Catalan/Spanish/Arabic. Gabriel would be a good name for instance. Anyway who cares, lol?

    Copa Final 2015: Athletic - Barça 1-3 !!!CAMPIONS!!!

    That would be the ideal scenario although Villarreal will give it all. They are not exactly our favorite opponents historically speaking. They are in a great form of late as well.

    Juan Guillermo Cuadrado

    He has not lived up to the hype this season so far but I am pretty sure that he will become a success if he finally moves to Chelsea. A bit like Fábregas. -------------Courtois--------------- Ivanovic-Cahill-Terry-Azpilicueta ---------Fábregas-Matic-----------...

    Copa Final 2015: Athletic - Barça 1-3 !!!CAMPIONS!!!

    A Catalan final would be awesome although FC Barcelona - Athletic is a classic too. The "problem" is that we have met them twice in a Copa del Rey final in recent years (2009 & 2012). It would thus be good if we could meet a new club in the final. Anyway before talking about the final there is...

    New 2014-2015 kits

    Out of all of those shirts I prefer the shirts from the 1950's, 1960's (home shirt) and 1970's (home shirt). Simple yet stylish. The club should retain that design always. The home shirts used during the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 seasons were similar to those and great too along with last season's...

    Milan and Sasha? Some really strange names for boys. Anyway congratulations to both of them.

    New 2014-2015 kits

    A really sad sight. Not sure what Nike and the board were thinking. Shocking to say the least. I wish that the club had Adidas as their main shirt sponsor.

    Jeremy Mathieu

    He does not strike me as the brightest fella out there. Senseless comment really. Something that ended has now restarted. For the time being at least. Just what the Madrid media needed. Not a huge deal I know but it is not the first time that he is unable to keep quite. There was this comment...

    Boss. Simple as that.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    His presence alone is benefiting Messi and Neymar a lot. A player of his stature and class will always attract extra attention from the defenders. This leaves more space for Messi, Neymar etc. to exploit. Eventually he will start scoring regularly again. As I wrote a few days ago then it's...

    Penal Madrid

    Why is it that Franco CF have played their league games earlier than FCB 13 out of possible 18 times this season? I obviously don't count the El Clásico itself for obvious reasons and the league round where Franco CF were absent due to the FIFA Club World Cup. That's an obvious advantage...

    Luis Enrique

    Interesting discussion. Here is how I look at it. Atlético were playing at home. Estadio Vicente Calderón is one of the most difficult stadiums to play in for any club. Atlético were moreover forced to win the game to qualify for the semifinals and thus started very aggressively as they were...

    Andrés Iniesta

    Iniesta is almost twice the play when he has Xavi around him. In games like that yesterday night where the midfield is "overlooked" and possession is scarce (during the first half at least) his limitations get exposed. Mostly his play without the ball and his defensive contribution. When in the...

    I am afraid that you got a point there.

    Copa: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 2-3

    A great performance by the team. Even when Atlético scored their penalty I never doubted the team one second. But what a crazy match! You know that it has been an unusual match when the team scores 2 goals after counterattacks and the remaining goal after a corner kick! A lot of positives can...

    Copa: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 2-3

    1 goal scored by FCB and Atlético will have to score 3 goals to qualify. Just saying. It would thus be foolish to have a overly defensive/conservative approach to the game. In fact it would be great if FCB were the team that started aggressively and tried to score the first goal. I bet that...

    Copa: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 2-3

    I have for once a very good feeling before this match. If the team manages to score the first goal or just more than 1 goal during the match then qualification for the next round (semifinal) should be beyond any doubt. The thug Godín is suspended while Koke is out too. Thiago as well. This...
