I thought Alves is the worst but Neymar is clearly a level above him in the worst dressed department lol.

Tie, snapback & headphones Laughing

Alves looks like a secret service agent Laughing

Speaking of the game, both Batra and Puyol did not train with the team. Adriano is likely to fill in.

3 midfielders vs 3 midfielders. Dis gonne be fun may the best midfield prevail

Don't mundo deportivo usually get it right most of the times as well?? they have predicted the same.

Yeah, finally 3 vs. 3 instead of 2 1/2 vs. 3. :coffee:

Yeah, MD also get it right. Don't know why they are leaking the lineups so early this season but yeah ...

Chief ‏@BarcaChief 2 Min.
A non defending RB, another fullback, a center defensive midfielder, and a really fast dude.
That's our defense tonight.

Adriano and Javier Mascherano will form Barcelona’s centre-back pairing for tonight’s Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid.

AS has reported that none of Barca’s three senior orthodox centre-backs, Gerard Pique, Marc Bartra and Carles Puyol, will be fit for the game at Valencia’s Mestalla.

Instead, Tata Martino will field Mascherano and Adriano at the heart of the back four, declining to repeat the partnership of Mascherano and Sergio Busquets that was named for the weekend defeat to Granada.

Alex Song took Busquets’ position in midfield in that instance but it is expected that Busquets will revert to his usual role against Los Blancos.

Pique, Bartra and Puyol are with Barca in Valencia but Pique hasn’t trained at all as his cracked pelvic bone is still causing problems, while Bartra and Puyol trained away from the rest of the players and haven’t been medically cleared.

Benzema to dominant in the air on crosses ( Laughing

) yet again. Making him seem like Peter Crouch.

Song should play at the back, as crap as he is, he at least wont be physically dominated.

Carlo should just play 4-4-2 with Morata and Benzema upfront. Di Maria and Bale crossing and Pepe randomly hoofing = 3 or 4 goals guaranteed in 90 minutes.

Seriously, its true.

They would win every aerial ball and even the ones they didnt, they would scoop up the second ball because of their vastly superior athleticism.

by Zealous Wed 16 Apr - 15:40:02

Is this is ultimate mind vs muscle final ever?

I don't trust our players when it comes to mental fortitude :\

Morata save us.

I will laugh hard if you fail to win against Alves-Mascherano-Adriano-Alba. Laughing

Just let that backline sink in for a minute. Laughing

Not as if our defence is that much better, and you have GOAT Messi, you should win imo :coffee:

Dont even really think personale matters that much, the mental state of this match is bigger than everything.

Just like when Madrid beat us with that half B team half usual starters vs Roura. They could of played any team they wanted and would have won because our mental state entering the game was so badly damaged...this isnt quite as bad, but its not far off it either.

That being said, of course who plays will enhance this.

TBH I just have the feeling Messi will show up against us, like he does every freaking time. He always seems so have bad periods of late, but when he faces us he makes a 10/10 performance.
Really hope Barca are so mentally fatigued that we will have a great advantage.

by The Franchise Wed 16 Apr - 16:54:18

Depends if we get decisions or not. I mean he did destroy you last time, but 2 of them were penalties.

If we dont get calls (deserved or not, irrelevant) then I question what Messi will do.

That performance wasnt even Messi's best, its just the best we seems capable of this season.

IMO goals or no goals, Messi was a beast in that game. He was at his playmaking best in that game. Not to mention that he basically created his first goal by himself, and that pass to Neymar for the penalty...

by The Franchise Wed 16 Apr - 17:36:04

He was very good, but he is capable of even more, he is that good.

by Zealous Wed 16 Apr - 17:36:48

The grass looking extra short, guess Xavi won't have to bring his ruler to measure that chit.

That's good to hear, but have they said anything if the Real Madrid players and fans will be bringing tissue's incase they lose, so that they can cry about the referee like they always do(even if the referee favoures them)? :coffee:

Too bad that you were probably either too young or were not even born to celebrate them when you won them Sad

Sorry amigo you have me confused with CBarca Sad

I wasn't in the crowd when Pele won the World Cup in 1958 like Dani but I got to enjoy a large portion of our success in the 90's/2000's.
