El Clasico

There’s talk that Özil may play up front as a “false 9” tonight.

I heard as much, think it was mentioned by Sid Lowe, he may have also added that with Ade and Karim they’ve been playing with a “false 9” for some time now. :smiley:

Dour enough opening to latest Classico, think I’ll stick with Arsenal Spurs for a bit longer.

Lasers being shone on the Barca players while waiting to take a free-kick there. I thought kids would’ve long moved on from that kind of thing at this stage.

Never underestimate the drawing power of frickin laserbeams.

Barca coming more and more into it now. Does this go to extra time?

It does Larry.

Ah no that would have been a fucking gorgeous goal. What a fucking run.

Off? Most definitely, great decision.

Fook that. Pure and utter class from Messi

I let a yelp out of me here watching that.

Beautiful stuff from the best player on the planet.

Correct decision though.

That is mindboggling football.

Barca, despite the quality football, really have some vile characters playing with them. Busquets and Mascherano have been particularly disgraceful with their cheating tonight.

Iker Casillas is a stone cold legend - the save from the scuffed Iniesta effort there was magnificent.

How are Madrid playing tonight? Is Lassana Diarra still with them?

Get in!

That was a great cross and a wonderful header.

Cristiano :clap:

Brilliant header by Big Ron.

The biggest compliment I can pay that man is that he’s the world’s second best player.

Keeper? Slow reaction in my opinion. Great header by the best player on the planet though.

Harsh.

This is going to be a great 15 minutes.

Eh Ireland’s only representative at the crucible is scrapping to keep his title hopes alive at the moment folks

never mind this lark
