Fabio plots Barca downfall

Fabio Cannavaro believes Real Madrid need to take a leaf out of Chelsea's book when they tackle Barcelona on Sunday.

The Blues edged out the Catalan giants in their UEFA Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge thanks to Didier Drogba's second half winner.

Cannavaro saw how Chelsea's physical approach kept the likes of Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi quiet and wants Real to emulate their commitment and desire.

With Los Galacticos five points behind leaders Barca in the Liga table, Cannavaro and co. are desperate to put one over their great rivals.

"Chelsea were stronger than Barcelona. They showed more commitment and belief when going for the ball. We need to play like them to beat Barca," explained Cannavaro.

"They still have the likes of Eidur Gudjohnsen, Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho who can score goals.

"We know all about Ronaldinho, he is a phenomenal player. I don't know how you stop him. When your rival has a forward like that you simply have to hope for the best."

Too bad, Etoo is not playing Crying or Very sad

After watching the Chelsea game, I once again realized how a big asset were Eto'o to Barcelona.
Eidur couldnt react to some Ronaldinho's crosses as Eto'o always does. Plus Etoo can tear up, the world strongest defenses.
Rijkaard is a good coach. He will analyze our weakness and will come with a solution. I am confident that we will bully Real at bernabeu again. Just hope rijkaard will start saviola.
