I think L'Pool will knock Barca out, also considering that the return game will be played in Anfield.
I disagree, Rab. I have watched a lot of Liverpool this season (too much probably) and they have failed to convince me. Barcelona, granted not as strong as last season, are still the defending champions. Eto'o will be ready for the return leg in Liverpool, but yes, Liverpool's big advantage is playing away first and try to score away goals at Nou Camp then seal the deal in front of thousands of singing and supporting Liverpool fans. :)

You are weird, you want Sevilla to win the Liga but you want Barca to win every game.

Let me ask you a question, who do you want to win the CL?
Sevilla winning La Liga is the cool unattainable dream. Barcelona winning it is the most realistic chance. Despite my desire to see the La Liga trophy end in Sevilla I have my feet on the ground and would be satisfied with a Barca win.

I'd like Manchester United to win CL. I support three horses. Roma, Lyon and Man U. If I got to choose definately C. Ronaldo and co. :pint:

Zambrotta Admits Angulo Error

Gianluca Zambrotta has admitted that he was at fault in Angulo’s goal that supposed the first hammer blow to Barça in yet another disappointing outing to Valencia.

Despite owning up to being sloppy in his marking duties, the player wants to move on past crying over spilt milk.

Zambrotta accepted that "it was my fault. I should have been more alert to the move they were making but I didn’t even see Angulo coming up from behind", explained the Italian wingman, also going on to comment on Mestalla and away venues

Madrid Deny Capello Resignation Reports

In a shock declaration Radio Cope claimed that Fabio Capello has submitted his resignation on the eve of the Bayern Munich clash, and that the decision would be announced at 1900, confirming he would step down after the Bayern game.

However, Real Madrid have denied the reports, in the very press conference.

Speculation now is that it will only be announced after tomorrow's game, and that Madrid just came out to restore peace after the radio channel got hold of the news.



zoom - galleria According to Radio Cope, the Italian has submitted his resignation, and the club have accepted it.




A formal announcement was supposed to be made at a press conference later this evening, when a club spokesperson would confirm the decision.




It was suggested that Don Fabio would, however, take charge of the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.




Youth team coach Michel - who has been in the news of late for his remarks about Eto'o - was tipped to take over.

However, Madrid have since denied it, though we continue to hear that he will be leaving come tomorrow evening.

Re-live the press conference as it happened:

1900: There is no confirmation yet, but, what we do know is that the coach met Baldini and Mijatovic earlier today, something he seemed to confirm during his press conference.

1905: A board meeting is taking place, and Real Madrid have also just confirmed there is an emergency press conference scheduled for just after 1900, so there is definitely something happening...

1915: The press conference seems to be starting! club spokesperson Miguel Angel Arroyo is speaking.

1918: Madrid fans can breathe easy, as the club have just denied it. However, the media seem to be sensing something else.

1921: "Real Madrid can confirm that Fabio Capello has not submitted his resignation, either verbally, or in writing," reads out Arroyo.

1921: "This news is a surprise to us, we know nothing about it," continues the statement. "It is an attempt to unsettle the club."

1922: A case of smoke without fire, it seems, though it is strange Madrid held an emergency conference just to issue a denial, and that after an intensive meeting of the board.

1925: The reporters seem unconvinced as well, and one asks if the coach will be in charge of Saturday's clash against Atleti. Arroyo says: "The board still have the same confidence in the coach."

1926: Another asks what would happen if he did resign, and a rather nervous Arroyo declines to comment on speculation.

1927: "Mijatovic has not said anything to me about this. It is not true," he asserts in conclusion, claiming part ignorance.

1928: That's it! The press conference is over, and despite another emergency meet, the club have not confirmed anything.

There is some speculation that the decision will stay inside the boardroom until tomorrow evening!

It is understood that Capello took exception after Mijatovic started influencing club policy, and decided to quit - on his own terms before he got the sack.

Rumours coming out of the Real Madrid camp still suggest that the Bayern game will be his last!

Liverpool might not look/be in shape like Barca in CL. But we all know English teams are pretty strong in Champions League, atleast in the last 3years....When they're playing home, you need to performe atleast 99% to be able to knock them out. Errors with them is not acceptable.

The Barca Vs L'Pool game will be close, but since L'Pool are a hard team to beat in Anfield, I'll predict the red team to move further. Though I dislike both teams.

Barcelona :rofl2:

Let them concentrate on La Liga now, ending the season empty handed this way is much sweeter.

Alexander, m_elayyan :lol2:

By the way Arif, weren't you one of those who jump to defend Barcelona at the beginning of the season? It seems someone has jumped on a certain bandwagon, it's fine with me, the more the merrier, you're welcome.
