Your kidding me right? Barca (up until the last few weeks) have been on fire, and will probably break the scoring record for the spanish league this season. They have scored 4+ goals on numerous occasions. Madrid in contrast won about 10 games in a row one nil whilst playing poorly hence why they kept up with Barca, who went on a bad run as of late. Plus Messi is the best player in the world right now, and can rip any defence aprt. Write Barca of at your peril my friend, if they reproduce their form for the majority of the season, they will be a match any english side.
A chance that all 4 premier teams will get through to the quarters.
Platini will be in despair, and know doubt will be looking for more rules and regulations to deny the English.:icon_roll
Real's last 4 results in the league are 1-1, 2-0, 6-1 and 4-0
Barcelona's last 4 results in the league 2-0, 3-4, 1-2, 2-2
Barca have conceded 8 goals in 4 games in the league (only looked at the last 4 because thats what there is on bbc sport). Also conceded 2 against Lyon.
In the last 4 league games the English sides have conceded:
Man U 2
Liverpool 5
Chelsea 1
Arsenal 1
So yeah barca score goals for fun, and edge it over the English sides going forward but the difference at the back is bigger.
you completely ignored my point about the fact Barca have stuttered lately,
Thats true but like I said the only stats on the bbc were the last 4 games and I couldn't be arsed trawling through anything else.
Lately does matter though. Its no good being brilliant until the business end of the season like Arsenal when they lost Eduardo last season.
I'm sure Barca will win La Liga. All I am saying is they have been leaking goals recently and both their attack and defence will be tested more thoroughly against our top 4.
