In light of today's draw chins up everyone! The biggest match in Spanish football is on monday at the Nou Camp. Followed by a trip to Eastlands on wednesday and again against Bolton in a weeks time. Really good week of football ahead. Looking forward to the Classico this year it usually decides the title and well with Mourinho in charge at Madrid and after last year's embarassing loss at home and at the Nou Camp, its going to be the best game for years. This game could easily be this year's Champions League final as well.

£10 on a 2-1 Barcelona win with Messi first goal. Also have City to beat Salzburg 3-0 and to at least win against Bolton.. Predictions?

Mourinho will put 11 men behind the ball at the Nou camp like he did with Inter and it'll be a complete anti-climax. 1-0 Barca. You heard it here first.

Doubt it, this game and the away leg usually dictates who wins the title, it did last year, a draw is a bigger possibility but who knows its so open this year. Can see it being open and very tactical, manager vs manager. With the qualities on both sides it will be a good game no matter what happens.

Mourinho is a lot different at Madrid, at Milan he had players with excellent defensive abilities like Cambiasso, Samuel etc. Madrid its a different story, more so on the attacking front to be honest. Both teams have some really frightening talent but it'll be interesting to see how Real setup tbh, Barcelona will setup as they always do to attack and dominate.

We'll have to disagree mate. Real are top of the league, imo there's absolutely no way Mourinho will go for it at the Nou Camp. I wouldn't say this game dictated the title last year either, both teams dropped points after both games.

Wasn't there 6 points in it last year? The points difference came to something like that if Real had won both Classico's they could of won the league. Can see both teams dropping points this year too that's why its so open, like i said it'll be really tactical but with the attacking quality available to Mourinho i can't see him setting it up for a defensive fest.

Barcelona still managed to score remember against Inter at the Nou Camp despite the bus being parked they are far too strong, world's stronger then most of the La Liga teams they've faced so far and Madrid are a much weaker defensive unit so we'll see what happens. Either way, its going to be a really good game i think.
