Some silly mistake of gk, but the defence duo, puyol+pique are so solid...
CR waste quite alot chances, shy of scoring?...
Anyway good to see the game end in a better way of less controversial n booking.... n we r in the top spot now..YES!

Hopefully Pep will get some credit for this win.
Imagine if Madrid had won how the media would portray Mourinho as the best coach ever or how he is better than Pep but when it's the other way around, you'll never hear the media talking how Pep is a master tactician.

Another thing, you guys really thing that this match would end without any controversy?

Kaka's throw to Xavi that resulted.
Marcelo's refusal to shake hands after the match, very un-sportsmanship.

Everyone seems to be saying how Mourinho is a good man for shaking hands with Tito, the man who he poked in the eye the last time they met
Imagine if someone else poked another coach in the eye. You wouldn't hear everyone calling him a changed man or a good guy. A handshake is not everything unless you are Sepp Blatter.

Oh and what did Mourinho say after the match?
Barca won due to luck.
Changed man??
Please....................

Barca won without even bringing their A game.
They were only in 3rd or 4th gear.

Everyone, the media, pundits all were all talking how great Mourinho was leading in to the match including those people on Bola Mamak.
I wonder what they'll say next time. I'm gonna put it on PVR.
Make sure I won't miss it.

It's the exact same story as last season leading to the first el Clasico.
Everyone was on Madrid's nuts because they were smashing everyone but of course those teams are not Barca.
The result after the match is more or less the same; the were humiliated.

5-0 at home and now 3-1 (0 actually if not for the gift) in front of their home crowd who all thought that the tide was finally turning.

I think after this match Neymar's stock value will go down a little..Before they were fishing for $45-50million...maybe now its <10 million...This guy is not proven yet..What he should do is wait after 2014..If he make it to the Brazil squad and do well at the world cup then his value will go up. I don't think he should come to England and play, maybe Spain or Italy...Brazilians hardly do well in England, I think their style is not suited to the English game plus a lot of the Northern towns are quite boring, they are used to living life in Brazil...If he is money minded go to Malaga, if not go to Barca..

Not too get too over confident but only Thiago & Fontas (kinda old) & Cuenca & Tello can be counted as youth.
And it's only a local Catalan side in a Copa match.
They're playing in a lower division than the Barca Babies.
Can't really decide anything in this match.
What would you expect when the best players play against a lower league side?

Also you're statement that we can trust our youth could be true if there were more youngsters than the 1st teamers but that wasn't the case.
If Barca B beat L'Hospitalet by a big margin, then we could say that we can trust our youth.

Pretty disappointed with Pep.
Really no need to go for such a high margin win by playing high risk injury players like Iniesta & Puyol.
Why not throw in some more youngsters who should be groomed like Montoya?

I'd rather us win by a <5 goal margin by resting high risk players and playing more youngsters


and let those high risk players be fresh for Espanyol after the break.

Happy with the win but unnecessary to play so many first teamers.

LOL epicness is full in t6his video    

Start watching from 2:30

a number of wrong decisions (read: hand ball) also offside calls.. but we shall not take any credit away from espany coz they played their lungs out.. derbies are always hard.. if oni atletico would play like this against real.. Funny enough atletico plays even better against us in recent years compared to their local derby.

Added on January 9, 2012, 6:33 ambusquets looked clueless almost half the time..misplacing passes, holding onto balls for too long..

I used to believe things were the other way round over the years 

Ur talking like cristiano ronaldo didn't flop when playing with portugal......

But nvm...he no need your acknowledgement...save it for urself....
