Never know it may not be a pleasure afterwards.
Note of warning I am biased. I'm not a Manchester United fan but I am a huge mark for Ronaldo. That being said I'm also a hugo fan of Deco and he plays for Barca.
Usually in these spots I would love Barcelona but something is off with that team. Yes their undefeated in Champions League play but have been unconvincing in the knockout stages. The last three games they've won 1-0 (granted the first game against Celtic they didn't need to do much since they wrapped it up with a 3-2 win on the road in the first leg) the last two 1-0 wins vs Schalke while professional wins don't inspire anyone to believe Barcelona is on the right track.
In the last two months whenever Barcelona needed a big win to stay close to Real Madrid in the Spanish league they have pretty much failed. They drew 0-0 on the weekend to cross town rivals Espanyol, drew 2-2 the week before and 0-0 the week before that and are now 10 points back of Real Madrid.
Basically what I'm saying is that when the chips are down teams do one of two things dust themselves off and fight harder or fold and Barcelona has folded all season long. They lost to Real Madrid at home and that never should happen plus their captain and best defender Carles Puyol is suspended for the match due to Yellow Cards. Yes Messi will most likely play but as great as he is Messi won't be at fu
