Camp Nou, Barcelona | Tue, May 3 | 20.45 CET

We return to Camp Nou for last of the 4 clasicos in CL semi final action.
With a 2 goal advantage we seem to have the upper hand but it is another 90 minutes of football. Hope everyone is focused and not thinking of being at Wembley already. Most of the squad has been rested and they should be able to start. We just need to stay focused and concentrate on our style of play. The crowd will be of immense help.
For Madrid, Mourinho would like to use his tactical ability to control the game. I don't expect him to have a defensive line due to (a) Pepe & Ramos not available to play (b) they need to score 2 goals atleast (c) and the riches he has in attack with Benzema, Higuain, Adebayor, Ronaldo, Kaka and Ozil. However he will be cautious to not repeat the mistakes of the manita by not going on an all out attack. The problem lies if Madrid scores first and early, then the pressure will be immense.
However we just need to keep with our philosophy and play our brand of football and stay focused.
Possible line-up:
Valdes
Alves-Mascherano-Pique-Puyol
Xavi-Busquets-Iniesta (Keita if the Andres cannot make it)
Pedro-Messi-Villa
FORÇA BARÇA!!!!
