By the way, Messi and Pique have been subbed into the game.

I think the team will be the same as Italy, except for the back line. Iniesta is really missed.

Valdes
Alves-Pique-Milito-Maxwell (abidal if fit)
Busquets
Messi-Xavi-Keita-Pedro
Ibra

There are times that I much prefer Yaya than Busquets but they are both inconsistent. But this won't make the difference anyway.

I think it is going to be very hard for Barcelona, this Inter team is playing excellent and is defending and attacking at high levels. Nothing like the team that didn't show up in Barcelona during the group stages.

Barcelona is going to need one of the Messi-Xavi performances that leaves their fans with dropped jaws and even that might not be enough. Like I said, Inter has been super impressive during the knock out stages.

:thumbsup: Yeah I think we will need to put the same kind of tempo we put up in the 1st leg where we matched and bettered your tempo, in order not to allow Barca with the time to start their passing game.

Pep mentioned after the game that he will have the nou camp nice and wet to allow the ball to travel faster which could be a bit of a problem with some of our players. Anyway looking forward to the game :thumbsup:
 
Xerez trying to help Inter out by the looks of the match report :eek:

11 yellow cards (one player got 2, so sent off) + another got a straight red card :howler:

7 of those yellow's and the red card with less than 10mins left in the game.

Assuming that BOTH Sneijder and Pandev will miss out, then:

--------------------Milito

---Eto'o------------Motta-------------Maicon

Well, no Stankovic, No Balotelli and obviously neither Quaresma nor Arnautovic will start, so..

I know what you're saying, but I'd rather play with the "good" old Mancio line-up


Milito Eto'o

Motta Mariga JZ
Cambi
Chivu Walter Lucio Maicon

JC​

What am I saying... we're screwed with Chivu facing Messi from start + non of the good flowing play up front anyho. :depress:

Right, Balo missing wasn't a problem. :cam:

Mariga starting a game of this magnitude?
 
------------------------------Cesar------------------------------------
Maicon--------------Lucio------------------Samuel--------------Chivu--
----------JZ-----------------Cambiasso------------Motta----------------
-----------------------------Quaresma---------------------------------
----------------Milito-----------------------Eto'o------------------------

I rather have Q start than Muntari or Margartia.

You're probably right.

Looks suspiciously like the 2-0 team though. :sigh:

I do think Pandev will start. He'll hardly be what's missing though.
