Barca line up: Valdes, Alves, Busquets, Fontas, Adriano, Keita, Xavi, Thiago, Cesc, Pedro and Alexis.

Substitutes: Pinto, Puyol, Mascherano, Abidal, Iniesta, Messi and Villa. Thats a pretty sh*t looking bench:D

Sociedad:

C. Bravo, D. Estrada, V. Demidov, I. Martinez Berridi, A. De la Bella, A. Illarramendi, M. Mariga, X. Prieto, D. Zurutuza, I. Agirretxe, A. Griezmann

Yeah I'm sure Pep is just rotating because of the international break but it's very risky going away to a team like Sociedad with so many first teamers on the bench especailly with the 'FIFA Virus' which Barca usually suffer from.

Cypher_sounds · 10-09-2011 04:10PM

Barca go 1 up already, Xavi.

CorkMan · 10-09-2011 04:11PM

2-0 up now.

Cypher_sounds · 10-09-2011 04:11PM

Make that 2 nil, Fabergas slammed it home.

dagdha · 10-09-2011 04:16PM

For those two goals, Sociedad were trying to catch Barca out with the offside. Did they not watch Villareal trying to do that last week? Suicide defending!

cson · 10-09-2011 04:17PM

We really got rode for Cesc.

He's every bit a €60m player.

Of course he is! Doesn't matter though, glad to see him doing so well!

+1

Disappointed the other night with how we failed to hang on to a 2-0 lead. That is supposed to be one of our strengths. This season we need to be ruthless against ever body. We have said our selves as the team to beat and every manager will have a trick or two up his sleeve to try and Usurp Barca of
their throne.

Barca have quiet a hectic schedule in the coming days start with tomorrow against AC Milan.
Followed by;
Osasuna Sep 17
Valencia Sep 21
Atletico Sep 24
Borisov Sep 28
Gijón Oct 2

Alexis out for 5-6 weeks is a huge loss. Looked to be on form, and adapting quickly. Hope to have him back and helping out with this season as soon as possible.

Peyton Manning · 12-09-2011 01:26PM

Ibra is out of the match tomorrow, injured in training.

I'm nearly positive it is, that with all the CL games except the Arsenal one. Saw the add for it a few times over the week.

Barca: Valdes, Alves, Busquets, Mascherano, Abidal, Keita, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Messi, Villa

Milan: Abbiati, Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, VanBommel, Nocerino, Boateng, Seedorf, Pato, Cassano.

dagdha · 13-09-2011 05:56PM

Going with Busquets and Mascherano in the middle of defence against the pace of Pato is a bity risky. I would'nt be overly worried about Milan though, hopefully Xavi, Iniesta and Messi can take hold of the game and keep Milan on the back foot.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 13-09-2011 05:58PM

No Ambrosini for Milan?? Seedorf & Zambrotta starting:eek: Jesus, Barca will run riot tonight..

It's on Sky Sports 4 via the red button, it won't be available till 7:30 though.

amiable · 13-09-2011 06:06PM

Every Champions League game on tonight is on Sky Sports via the Red button.

BASHIR · 13-09-2011 06:47PM

kmart6 · 13-09-2011 06:49PM
