Valencia v Barcelona

[4411]

Aimar was absolutely brilliant tonight, his first touch is f*ckin sublime!

[Maldini]

We need a "#10"

Did Balencia win?

 

Edit: Just seen that they did.

 

two defeats in a row for Barca. Not good with Chelsea coming up. Really want them to win.

 

For starters, I loathe Chelsea more than anything - and i'd actually rather play Barca in the CL. (if we have to play one of them at some stage)

Valencia won it two years ago when Real imploded. Maybe Barca will do the same.

I said at the time of the draw that Chelsea will beat Barca. Their defence is crap. They're really missing Xavi too, he's the brains of their team and they seem to be lacking direction without him.

Barca's team was second rate tonight; they were missing so many key players and it doesn?t help having an average goalkeeper who makes the odd mistake that can cost you the game. Ronaldinho, Xavi, Deco and Messi are vital players for their attacking play and without them Barca look very ordinary.

Didn't know he was out injured. He's the business.

 

If their big players are fit, i'd expect them to beat Chelsea, though.

 

They'll want revenge BADLY.

 

On another note - if reports are true and Deco - due to the emergence of the frightingly good Messi - is surplus to requirements, we should have a look!

 

Though he'll probaby go to Chelsea.

We were missing so many key players against a good team. Valencia is 2nd best team in SPain, don't underrate them.

But I'm sure Barca would have won, if we had Messi, Deco, Ronaldinho and Xavi. But the result won't affect much, we will win the league.

And I'm confident, that we will win the tie against Barca, because all players will be available for that game, except Xavi

You will win the league I reckon - but I'm not sure you would have won tonight.

It sickens me to say it but I think their attacking flair football will be thought a horrible lesson against the pragmatic Chelsea.

I'd love to see Barca hammer them and it would be great for football if they could but I think Chelsea will steamroller an amazing Barca team intent on the beautiful game rather than the results leaving them look a very childish club.

Love to be wrong

Aimar was awesome....Liverpool really need a player like him.

specially playing at the god-forsaken pitch that is Stamford Bridge.

[Tosh]

Could not believe that take and turn Aimar did in the box in the 1st half. It really deserved a goal. Simply stunning

Think there's a fair chance Shay Given will go to Barcelona in the Summer.

 

Would solve a problem for them. Yer man was comical last night..
