I have to watch, at least until we're 3-0 down.

Dani Alves is much more incisive going forward.
Balance is key

I was thinking until the first goal - after that it will be business as usual
Country: Iceland
Most probably have to watch, a good excuse to have a pizza night. Thankfully I don't eat pizza so I can go do what ever else I like to do!

I hope our crisis ends tonight.
I thought it would end after the Southampton game. Been a long wait.

My prediction is 4-1 Barca.
The front 3 will kill us. It should be illegal for them to play together. The rest of the team are good but IMO teams like Bayern, Juve, Atletico are closer to the complete team all round than Barca but Barca's trio sets them apart. How many of the defence/midfield would get into the three teams I mentioned above?
Iniesta would.
Mascherano maybe.
The rest aren't better than their counterparts IMO.

Forgot about the gloryhunters.
There was a guy on my uni football team who was a Barca "fan", absolute cockwomble he was.
Used to refuse to watch Premier league football down the pub with us because it was "peasant football". Also called all the team by their first name and any discussion of any non Barca player ended "Iniesta/Xavi/Pedro is better". Tried to argue Villa was better than Pele or Maradona once.
In the last game of the year we were defending a corner. Ball comes in and I had to choose between punch and catch. Punch was risky and meant I had to take out "El dickhead", didn't even hesitate.

-Pique would get into most teams as well. Only Boateng is a better ball-playing CB.
-Only RB consistently better than Alves used to be Lahm (defensively atleast), but he's not a RB anymore.
-Only Alaba is clearly better than Alba in the world atm.
-Busquets is the best CDM in the world. Whether you like his antics or not, that's more or less a fact. There's a reason why other teams aren't able to consistenly play with a single pivot.

Also, I want Giroud to score tonight. I remember Piers Morgan saying that he'd do something stupid if he scored in the Camp Nou.

4-0 Barca is my prediction. Maybe 5-1.

Not so much about getting in most teams. Would they get into Bayern/Juve/Atletico?
Those three have built a wonderful team back to front which I don't quite think Barca are. In the Pep era, particularly 2008-2011 which I think is the greatest club side ever, they were magnificent in the team composition and everything was clockwork.
This team IMO is extremely top heavy. It sounds strange as they're the best three in the world up front, so why wouldn't they, but I'd back either the 2008-09 and 2010-11 side to beat this Barca.

Not sure only about Pique.He looks that good beacuse Barca doesen't need to defend for a long periods of the game.It would interesting to see him in some other team.
He's ridiculous. His passing and ball retention is out of this world. Just such a smart player.
Why don't english players play like him?

You don't get the time in the EPL, imo.
