Absolutely. Still eight matches to play and I'll be watching and rooting for Barça in every one. Believe until the end. However, I also stand by what I said about three weeks ago...

March 30 marks Jornada 30 of the season. Real Madrid are home to Sevilla while Barça are away to Betis. After that round has completed, the lead must be cut down to at least six points. Both the CL quarterfinals and semifinals (all four legs) are scheduled for the month of April as is the Copa del Rey final (which is no sure thing at this point either) If the lead in La Liga isn't down to at least 6 points, Barça should begin focusing on the Champions League.
Milito and Marquez are both fit now. They were sorely missed.

I'm back from... kind of my meditation in India. All reminds the same. Real Madrid wins if Raul does "his goal" like with Sevilla. And the rest are somewhat far away. 7 matches to go and Real Madrid 66, Barça and Villareal 59. Atletico 53. When I said 7 goals from the Utd to Barça I meant not in one game only but in the two games of the round. I would like to see that match but members have the advantage to get the tickets. Maybe if the second game is here it will be possible for me.

Barcelona would be hosting the first game... providing they can get past Schalke, which isn't a sure thing the way they've been playing.

Afternoon Intheskywithdiamonds, Hope you are looking forward to Sunday! Any predications on the score? Well done for last night's score by the way. I don't even want to talk about Arsenal's performance against Liverpool the other night. Except, that we had it in our grasp for about 3 minutes. And then we got a yellow card. F*******g Arsenal. May the best team win on Sunday.

Hey I've watched the two last Arsenal vs Liverpool matches. The Premier and the Champions one... I thought Fabregas was better, all I had seen was highlights from matches and comments but well he is only 20 but now he's not even good enough to play in the Spain team. That reminds me of Torres, now in the Premier he seems to be one of the best strikers in the world and here hardly scored goals. The English playing is a lot different and run and drible striker have a lot space, that's very good for Torres, Cristiano Ronaldo, rooney, Henry... but these players without so much space are not so good... I think Cristiano Ronaldo would not be so good for Real Madrid.

Semifinals Barcelona vs Manchester and Liverpool vs Chelsea The penalty scored by Gerrard was a silly one. The Arsenal defender throws the liverpool striker just when stepping into the area with a lot of people inside... but today everyone's here has been with the Laudrupitos, the little Laudrups, the Getafe guys against Bayern Munchen. If you have not watched the game I can't explain it here cause is too long. Oliver Kahn aka "The Monster" has done it again. When he runned to the other side of the field before the corner I said "Beware with the Monster, look out!" he can't score, but he usually throws aways some defenders... maybe the most hated soccer player in the world. I hope he retired soon... or someday at last. Laudrup: "this game will go down in history". The Fantasy, Magic Getafe playing a la Laudrup almost does it with 10 men since minute 5. Like the famous quote: "Why in the movies the good ones win but in life evil ones win instead?" Laudrup Forever and Kahn I hope not forever.

BBC text commentary of the Liverpool-Arsenal Champions League game described it at one point as "like a Premier League game: lots of running, no defence, but exciting". Pretty much. Amazing display by Getafe who led 3-1 despite being down to ten men after only six minutes. But horrific goalkeeping by Pato Abbondanzieri gifted Bayern into the semifinals. I'm not really convinced of Laudrup just yet. After all, he's inherited a team that finished ninth in La Liga last season (their best ever finish) and reached the Copa del Rey final as well (which qualified them into the UEFA Cup for the first time ever). Josu Uribe was the man who guided Getafe from the Segunda into the Primera, while Quique Flores and Bernd Schuster each spent two seasons at the club and made them competative in La Liga. Laudrup currently has Getafe in 12th position and they've again reached the Copa del Rey final. Oli Kahn's contract at Bayern ends after this season and he stated after the World Cup that he would not try to renew it. So I guess he'll be retiring next month.

Tell me about it! Apparently the ref didn't see the dive and it shouldn't have been a penalty. The game was definately excioting = so much so that i was sitting on the edge of my seat. I didn't want to blink in case i missed something. Poor defence by Arsenal in certain parts of the game. I reclon Walcott might be the next Henry. Did you see the way he was moving just before Arsenal scored? Reminds me of Henry and Ljungburg. Talking of Henry, I'm sad that he left Arsenal but on the other hand, I think Arsenal are playing much better footie now because he went. Henry has nice legs though!
