barcelona definitely deserved to win yesterday and espanyol is a dirty team that i hate, but nevertheless for obvious reasons i was really excited to see barca lose, and this is how the sport is, the team who attacks more doesnt always win. BUT i dont think the ref was as bad as barca claims. he gave a harsh red but otherwise it was pretty even. i even saw he didnt give another possible red card worthy tackle to barca.

That's the beauty of football though as compared to other sports like basketball.

probable line up for todays game

--------------Valdes
alves - pique - marquez - puyol
-------xavi---toure---keita
messi-------etoo----------henry

sylvinho lacks match practice and he's not exactly getting any younger either, i don't think he'd be a good choice for this game. puyol on the left back is a way better option our two central defenders do look a bit too slow to stop benzema, but i feel way safer with this tactic than what i would with sylvinho on the left-back

[chuck bass]

^^^busquets is playing instead of keita, but otherwise my prediction was right


lyon up 1-0 after first half..freekick goal by juninho (wtf was valdes doing?)

kinda bad start, but as the game progressed, it got better, hopefully the play will keep improving in 2nd half. Grosso should've had a red card imo for those two tackles

even if we dont score, 1-0 away aganist lyon is still a okay result, not the end of the world

[Demis-11]

woot woot go Lyon!!

id rather have the weaker teams go through just incase PAO upsets Villareal..and dont say it could never happen..lol

[chuck bass]

1-1 full time! goal by Henry!! We have one foot in the next round

[Sumerian]

Tie is far from over.

Man oh man Valdes with another shocker. His confidence is crushed. Lyon didn't have a sniff of the ball until that freekick. Van der Sar would have caught that one and thrown it back at Juninho.

Why do people compare Ronaldo to Messi? I will compare Ronaldo to Henry:

Ronaldo:
23 games (1 sub), 12 goals (2 PKs), 5 assists in EPL
6 games (1 sub), 0 goals, 1 assist in UEFA CL.
5 games (2 sub), 3 goals, 0 assists in Carling Cup & FA Cup.
Total: 34 games (4 sub), 15 goals, 6 assists.

Henry:
22 games (4 sub), 12 goals (0 PKs), 5 assists in La Liga.
6 games (1 sub), 2 goals, 1 assist in UEFA CL.
1 games (0 sub), 1 goal, 0 assists in Copa del Rey.
Total: 29 games (5 sub), 15 goals, 6 assists.

Thierry Henry > Cristiano Ronaldo

That's because BARCA>>>MAN U

at least this season we've been scoring a lot compared to the rest of the planet lol

atletico outplayed barca in the first half but obviously messiah comes to the rescue again and leaves the entire atletico backline for dead in one turn and run so barca 1 + messiah=2-1 atletico
