HT we trailing 1-0, any comments?
At least its a 2 legged game, so at least i get to sleep tonight, regardless of the result.

Can i know who played? and the formation?
Anyways kudos to Xavi and Pedro...
Big boo to astro who increased price of sports package but not improved service. Cant even watch such a match. Shame on astro

Yess!! We won at a traditionally very hostile venue.

Well, definitely we were not up to our usual standard, as there were some important players gone missing. But I would say that we have done our job just nicely. Oh BTW, nice goal from Pedro   Both Pedro and Jeffren have the skills required, they just need more experience to play at this level.

And finally, Pep should take a serious look on Alves' temperament. It has cost Alves' chance to play in the UCL final, so Alves should learn from those mistakes. Pep should guide him. Just now, he was the main target for the booing opponents fans.

eh how come zlatan was not playing D:?

Ibrahimovic Hands Pep Guardiola A Fright As Barcelona Train

Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave Pep Guardiola a scare in training for Barcelona when he attempted an audacious overhead kick forgetting about the injured hand that required surgery only last week.

The Swede leapt into the air to connect with a ball during a practice session in Seattle and came down on his left arm in a move that left the coach gasping.

"No Ibra! Not that!" Guardiola was quoted as shouting at Ibrahimovic as he rose rather sheepishly to his feet.

Despite appearing to be fine, coach Juanjo Brau insisted that the striker left the field to allow medics to inspect the hand that has kept the player out of action in the United States.

Ibrahimovic joined Barca from Inter last week in a mammoth swap deal for Samuel Eto'o, but has yet to play after sustaining a broken bone in his hand during his last game for the Serie A outfit.

The Blaugrana medics insisted that he had an operation to ensure the bone healed and pencilled in the Trofeo Joan Gamper game against Manchester City on August 19 as a possible debut date.

Agent: Nemanja Vidic Would Be 'Delighted' To Join Barcelona

The Serbia international's agent has done little to calm speculation.

Manchester United centerback Nemanja Vidic has been mooted as one of the names Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola is considering to reinforce his defensive area.

The 27-year-old defender, who joined the Red Devils from Spartak Moscow in January 2006, is regarded as a key member of the squad by coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

But despite the Scottish tactician's reluctance to part company with Vidic, the Serbian is looking for pastures new, according to his agent.

"Vidic would be delighted to play at Barca as his dream is to go to the Spanish league," Paolo Fabbri told RAC1.

"We have to analyze the situation but, being realistic, things are complicated at the moment.

"The team just lost Cristiano Ronaldo and [Carlos] Tevez and they do not want to lose another important piece of their starting XI once again."

i think he wont join this summer. coz MU oredi sell 2 key player.
