    Going to be ONE hell of a game i reckon.

    Forget the EPL this is for me the best most exciting league in the world not that Andy Gray would agree. Funny how Spain, who are the current European AND World Cup holders had just two players in the WC squad outside of their home league (Torres and Fabregas).

    Should be a great one.

    Ok three but still hardly any!

    And he didnt play a game so it doesnt really count IMO. Though i suppose Fabregas did play that killer pass but you get my drift of how the EPL is arselicked far to much!

    Good shout, Scott. I've been looking forward to this.

    Two really good teams.

    Barcelona are unbelievably technically gifted, patient and confident. Their first touch, movement and awareness is a joy to watch. Barca almost never just fire a cross into the box in the hope that someone might get on the end of it. Never!

    Real are a bit more direct, although not overly, and while they can pass and move too, they will occasionally fire crosses in and it sometimes works.

    Both teams always make themselves available so you won't see either midfield running away from the ball when one of their team mates has it, as so often happens in Scotland.

    If ever a game should live up to expectations, this must be it.

    Highest quality - probably yes. Most exciting - nope. It's rapidly becoming an SPL-esque two horse race. Barca helped themselves to eight away from home at the weekend FFS.

    I like watching Spanish football for the technique and the astonishing array of talent, but there are much more exciting leagues. For my money the Bundesliga has the best balance of quality, unpredictablity and excitement.

    Ha Ho He, Hertha BSC... (back in the Bundesliga before you know it.)

    The EPL is arselicked so much by their own media.

    As is the La Liga.

    I hope Real stuff Barca and I'm quite confident they'll do it. Barca are only half the team they are when they are without messi so if he is kept quiet Real should be comfortable.

    Do you realise how hard it is to stop him though. My money will be on Barca and Messi will show Ronaldo up again.

    The chosen one managed to play tactics tokeep him quiet the last time one of his teams played Barca. I reckon it will be a one sided 1-0 win to Barca.

    Maybe they could resort to trying to injure him like they did a couple of seasons back. 6 tackles in the first 20 minutes that all involved raking studs down the back of the ankle and stamping movements. The wee man had the last laugh though when he popped up with the winner.

    Anyway i'm ridiculously excited about this game because.......I'm going. First time at this fixture and i can't wait. Visca el Barca!

    And was also on the winning side of a 6-2 win iirc, there is just no way to stop the laddie, kick him? he gets back up and skins you again, stand off him? he runs rings around you, he is a genius

    Cmon Barca

    I hope Barca hammer them! It's a joy to watch Messi, Iniesta and Xavi who have to be three of the top 5 players in the world. Watching their goals from last night has me looking forward to monday's game already! Vizca el barca!

    What do people think? I'm not sure where to start, might just sit back and hope for a Classico.

    As a Barca supporter, I can't help feeling that RM might be just too strong tonight (Higuain's returning to the team, etc).

    But being a Hibs supporter I'm always pessimistic about my team's chance of winning!

    PS CC should sit the Hibs players in front of the SKY screen tonight and point out to our players that when a colleague has the ball, instead of running AWAY from said colleague, someone should run into position NEAR him so that he has someone to pass TO. Something that Barca have perfected. No one in our squad will ever be a Barca player but the principle's the same wherever you play.
