Team News
Atletico
Barcelona
- Tiago is an injury doubt for Diego Simeone's men, with Saul Niguez set to come into the XI if required.
- Jackson Martinez is expected to replace Fernando Torres at the head of the attack, but Los Colchoneros have a lot of faith in El Nino.
- Koke and Oliver should feature in the wide areas to keep things tight, but Simeone can call upon Ferreira Carrasco to make things interesting.
- Claudio Bravo should be out of action for a few weeks, meaning that Marc-Andre ter Stegen is the undisputed number one for a while.
- Gerard Pique is still missing due to a ban, so Thomas Vermaelen is expected to continue at the heart of the defence.
- Sergi Roberto has had minor fitness problems, but the midfielder looks set to slot in as a make-shift right back once again.
how did sergi roberto do today? didn't watch the game can anyone tell me please?
@BarcaIncognito Extremely impressed with how well Roberto has adapted to the RB spot. He obviously isnt as good as Alves but he gets the job done and Id dare to say that hes even as good as Douglas XD
@BarcaIncognito Solid once again, wasn't 'spectacular' but definitely did what he was required to do. Was great defensively especially though.
@BarcaIncognito he was great! best game he played to date.
@oko no, his best game was by far against bilbao... still great yesterday he get used to RB
It took Messi 30 mins to score a goal, complete 8 dribbles (most of any player in the match), and make 2 key passes (no Barca player had more). Simply the best ever!
If R Madrid had Messi, they would have won 5 of the last 7 leagues. If Barça had Cristiano, they would have won the last 2 Pichichi awards.
@AndreyNosatii True story mate!!!!
8 dribbles in 31 minutes. Amazing!! Messi class!!
8 dribbles in 31 minutes. Amazing!! Messi class!!
useless. are u serious. from 1 st minute he started attack till he subbed.bro atletico have 11 shots in which 6 is of Torres. also see arial duels,greater than anybody.. and u r telling he is useless.neymar even wasn't in the pic in first half..
Feel very good. We now beat the three stronger teams already.
So messi is man of match while only playing for 30 minutes, this guy is something else
Mascherano was genuinely awful today. Caught dallying on the ball twice in 1st half, almost gave away a pen, and completely lost Torres for the goal. Mathieu >>>> Mascherano
4 handballs by Atletico, 1 by Barça. Apparently arms are just like legs now in La Liga...
@alexreg cudnt have said any better!!!
hey you have given ratings of Torres less than Suarez. are u serious bro??it must be equal to neymar..
@Aditya_Singh. You have to see details. His participation into the game, and his impact are less than Neymar absolutely.
@Aditya_Singh. Torres was useless apart from one easy finish. it wasn't even particularly good attacking, just Mascherano went to sleep.
And btw there were so many handball claims tis game tat went unpunished
Whoscored left messi's goal out of the prediction bcos they cant caculate it.magic is immeasureable.he even scored while playing in a midfield position
barka are barking well tonight
@serie_A joke of the season
Messi's 20th la liga goal against Atletico
@KlaasJanHuntelaar 24 gols and becomes the player who has scored most goals ever against Atletico.
welcome MESSI!!!
NEYMAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Why is Messi on the bench, is he injured?
@LionelJ He missed training due to his sons birth
@LionelJ Just found out he hasn't trained due to the birth of his son, still looks fresh to me though
El Nino
Vermaelen injured again?!?!? Youve gotta be kidding me
@MessyLion Yes, he was obviously overplayed by Barca and Belgium; so now you can see how often he needs to be rested; it's better for both his teams and coaches if Vermaelen is rested often because it's better to give his body enough rest in between matches than to risk him getting injured which inevitably happens because he just cannot play as many minutes and games as the average professional player. That needs to be obvious by now...
@MessyLion Back to the glass-smith!
Vermaelen to score again ))
I predicted Everton to either win or draw against Chelsea. And I'm predicting Atl. Madrid to either win or draw this one.
@TSN haha joke's on you
its going to be tough one for barca....hope barca will dominate the game...visca el barca... :-)
Draw
Looks like a Drew game
Congratulate Messi's second son with a victory for Barcelona!
i think its time for messi to shine... i can see 1-3 or 1-1
Atleti 1-1 Barcelona.
The number of madridiots downvoters and Barcelona failure wishers is too damn high. I am not sure if RM can win against Espanyol, though. Barcelona wins tomorrow and you go far behind. ;) Enjoy it madridiots.
@blitz So Madrid won. What now??
I'll go for a Barca win or draw.
Always have MSN in mind they are the NeyMessiS
Atletico to either win or draw.
@TSN Madrid fans always predicting against Barcelona. It's been pathetic really.
at least we have a tough game after international break....... tik tak tik tak waiting entertaining match
Atletico to win.
This will be a competitive match...these are the 2 favourites to win the league...Visca Barca
Jackson Martinez is a tough tough guy. watch out for him
@Mahdi he and his former team(porto)got destroyed by bayern 6-1
@glenbayern He still managed to bag twice and won a penalty against Neuer. Don't blame him for his side's defensive disarray. No disrespect to Porto, but they're no Atletico.
@glenbayern i see quite a good team beside Martinez. Atletico are not porto
the only time i ever want atletico to win (Madrid Fan)
@patricia.singh.14 of course you want your team to win who wouldnt?
@ksaviauk NO i meant Real Madrid
@patricia.singh.14 Meaning what? That "Atletico" are not "Madrid"?
9-7 for barca
@glenbayern I'd like some of what your smoking please
@glenbayern seems legit!
