Next weekend there will be the big derby between Barça and Real Madrid at Camp Nou. I hope that we win 4-0 or 5-0 Puyol won't play tomorrow and against Benfica then he will have a lot of time to rest and play well against Madrid. And Ronaldinho won't play tomorrow. I have heard that perhaps Messi could play but I don't think that Rijkaard decides that he plays. It isn't a decisive game for us.

What do you think that will happen??

If its a patch on the last time the 2 clubs met then it will be edge of the seat stuff.

I have a feeling that it will be 3:1 to Barca with Ronaldinhio scoring all 3! Its normally a great match and we're having a house party of about 10-15 people so that we can all watch the match.

ooh its a big one. I fear I may miss it though

Cool, another one, the last one was a great match! Ill be watching this for sure.

What? you'd have to be in a coma to miss it?

haha ... yeah the time may not be good for a GMT +8 lad like me

The last game was great between the teams. It looks like Barca already have the title but it should still be a cracking game

If Barça play like they do the second half of Barça - Getafe I think that we can win 4-0 or 5-0 because last games Madrid are playing really bad and have a lot of problems.

Cliche, but i think its safe too say that form goes out the window in a derby!

Yes sometimes a score in a derby is difficult to predict but in the game of the first leg Barça were in a better form and the game finished 0-3.

Hope you're wrong Putrum, but I'm afraid you're right, lol. Real Madrid is far from a good team this year, and Barcelona (specially Ronaldinho) is too much for us.

should be good! when is it saturday or sunday??

3-1 Real Madrid just to be different

Saturday, at 10 pm spanish time.
Senior, hope God hears you

I read today that the Spanish refs accosiation could be going on strike over unpaid bonus wages and the game could be postponed. Anyone know much about this

Yes it's true but I think that if it happens the refs of lower divisions could referee. It already happened some years ago.

1-1 at half time with Roberto Carlos sent off for being an idiot! It's going to be a great second half thats for sure! Ronaldo's goal was sweet as!

The ref was ASHAMING!! He invented the penalty, and I don't really know what Roberto tolds to the ref, but the ref was simply terrible, and always in favour of Barcelona.
Anyway, the only thing I have clear is that Casillas is the best keeper in the world whatever you say.

That was a penalty no matter how you look at it. Carlos went to ground and didn't get the ball, if Van Bommel had stood still then Carlos would have slid into him no doubt. He only just jumped a little to avoid the full contact but yet just enough to get the penalty.

Roberto Carlos was shameful, he is one of the most experienced players in world football and he was getting on like a kid! He should know better, if I was a Madrid fan I'd be embarrassed.

agreed, Roberto Carlos did the penalty and I hope he changes his attittudes before the WC, we cant lose a player at the 26th minute!!

Hahahaha!! You are the only ones in the world that saw penalty there. Al the media are telling it's not a penalty because is Van Bommel who goes to Roberto Carlos, you can't be serious.

Well the media are wrong, it was a penalty even if Van Bommel helped in getting it. He didn't dive because Carlos still would have hit him if he didn't jump in the air.
That is NOT diving.

Media are wrong??
Maybe you are wrong

Wait til we get a few more opinions on this because I think it was a penalty end of story, if that wasn't given as a penalty I feel Barca would have been treated unfairly.

What was the score?

Well, I think Barça played better and Real Madrid were waiting their chances in the back, but that was not a penalty. Also I think the referee pretended to be the star of the match.

Casillas has done a great performance. He is no doubt the best keeper in the world.
