The rivalry between Barcelona have been waging
on for as long as anybody can remember and the
two teams and their fans rarely see eye to eye. But
that doesn’t mean business hasn’t been done
between the two before.


After winning Valencia 7-0 in the first leg of the
Copa del Rey semi-final the Catalan team are very
certain of progression into the finals and according
to Spanish paper AS, they are preparing to send a
request to Real Madrid to use the Bernabeu for the
finals of the competition.
But many believe that request is just a formality as
Madrid are very certain to turn it down.

The Spanish Federation are set to sit with the two
teams that qualify and discuss possible venues.
With the Bernabeu a very unlikely destination if
Barcelona make it through, the other options are
going to be Vicente Calderón and Mestalla.

Where is Neymar the 2016-2090 ballon d'or winner

I love Messi... But I can't stop Suarez from claiming his birthright...

Suarez is a living goal-poacher...

Honestly I feel same too...

Ask yourself, how many trophies did those high stats fetch G. Krychiowak last season.. He had only The Europa for all his efforts. We both know how it ended for S. Busquets and his elite team.

The thing with people like you and what you see against S. Busquets' game is that, you still retain that Brutish, reckless, 'knack-am-down' picture of DMs such as G. Gatusso, C. Makelele's mould et al. Those were greats of the old order. The game has since changed. Look at J.O Mikel; how many tackles does he make in every other game, yet he bosses the midfield. Or even someone like T. Kroos... Bieng a DM goes beyond stiffling the opposition, hacking down players and generally known for rough play; S. Busquets has redefined that role. A DM should be decent, intelligent and a key partaker in moving the ball around. In the near future, the role will be likened to an alternate CM, and S. Busquets would be the reference point.

Why do you see P. Guardiola use soft but intelligent players like P. Lahm in the midddle as a holder of the ball? Even T. Alcantara has played in that position.

Wow! So if you know everyone has his or her own opinion, why were you acting like a rabid dog on barcelona thread because some people called Xavi the greatest?
Or has your balls to attack anybody with that opinion disappeared? Oga, you are obviously scared of Ibime

Happy Birthday to me and Pique. Didn't know we share the same day though, its nice to share my birthday with someone as great as you,

When you get to the university I hope you won't won't be getting carry over every session in gns like piques "errors leading to goals" every season. Dayo quoted his previous post when I asked him who's the greatest midfielder ever.

airmark:
One of worst things is for someone to be telling himself a lie. Dayo said maradona was the greatest ever, instead of you to keep mute or challenge him , you came to be praising him and now saying he didnt rate Diego and zizou above Xavi. Are you guys for real?

Ibime:
Zizou is the better midfielder but Xavi is the greatest midfielder of all time.

Awesome01:
Na wa o, which day player comparism go end for this our thread sef? From Messi to Neymar, from Alba to Alves, from Pique to Suarez, from Bravo to Busquet, from Mascerano to Rakitic, from Roberto to Iniesta, now it's Xavi. Una no dey tire? So many players have been compared with this team. It does show how exceptionally good they are. Anybody that thinks otherwise should either deal with it or go hang himself. Period.

Someone rated maradona and zidane above xavi, you are still spitting rubbish. It's obvious you can't differentiate between red and purple.

Xavi is one of the top midfielders of his generation. he is actually the best of his generation so if you dont watch others you can claim he is the best

When talking about great midfielders you would talk of Maradona, Zidane, Xavi Matthaus. Not Lampard nor gerrard

the thing dey pain for three days dey ban me from commenting I just dey look all this mumu argument

Truly useless... Imagine EPL defending champions languishing in the bottom table...

Mentioning better dm with more individual awards to relegate busquets would look like killing an ant with sledge hammer, no need. I asked you a simple question cos your friend barcablood said xavi was the greatest midfielder ever, considering the superb individual honours iniesta has copped over the years, i will rate him higher than xavi. I want your opinion on that bro. Cos i think it's high time you started shutting some nincompoops amongst you down when they spit rubbish.

ElCule:
Some people carry our matter for head like brazilian hair.

airmark:
You reeled out individual awrds now, but when it's busquets matter you will be talking of team's achievements as the sluggish boy has no great individual award for his efforts because he deserved none. Meanwhile between iniesta and xavi , who is the greater midfielder?
