Barcelona, Inter Milan 2nd leg semi-final preview

barcatellano — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:22:48 +0000

Inter Milan visit the Nou Camp to try and go through on the advantage or on a away goal. Piqué, Barcelona defender, feels the supporters will need to be at their best as the game is probably Barcelona’s most important so far. Supsequently, Barcelona have already started a campaign to do so. Inter Milan, who did not get to semi’s last season, need try and stop Barcelona’s home recored if they plan to advance to the final and meet up with German giants, Bayern Munich. But who could forget the last time a Champions league side visited the Camp Nou, when Messi racked in an impressive four goals past Almunia, or who could forget the last time Barcelona played a Champions league second leg semi-final, when Iniesta fired a first touch shot in to the top corner of Chelsea’s goal with seconds to go, talk about pressure. Barcelona look the most experienced side in this match. Joan Laporta, Barcelona president, didn’t hesitat to reply to Mourinho’s pschological remarks. No doubt it looks like everyone is in to see the European giants knocked-out on there home ground in the last round, especially after Real Mardid’s Cristiano Ronaldo said he honestly prefers to see Barcelona lose. Inter, look the favorites for once, in a game that in my opinion could have been the final. Bayern Munich looked a strong side yesterday although they lacked defense and French international, Frank Ribery, who will miss the final in Madrid after being given match ban from UEFA. Olic, Bayern Munich’s hat-trick scorer in the second leg, three nil victory over Lyon, looks to deliver the same superb performance in the final next month. In my opinion, Inters only foundation is Inters version of a attacking mix between Barcelona’s Xavi and Iniesta, Wesley Snijeder, and Probably the best goalkeeper in the Champions league at the moment, Julio Cesar. When it comes to picking my last two transfers in my fantasy league squad, I rather make them Barcelona players. My best pick was probably Olic, who scored a few times before I put him in my Arsenal, especially after he scored on Manchester United, and now he brought a lovely nine point gift. My last Barcelona prediction was both quarter-final legs between Arsenal. I predicted a draw in the first leg and a goal fest in the second. Not very specific but probably one of my best. I would love to see Barcelona in the final, and I think an Inter late goal mite be the only thing that will keep them for getting there. I’m sure Pep Guardiola has penalty tactics in mind, as I think Barcelona mite snatch up a few goals to give them just enough for extra time. Inter have to defend those two goals but I predict the better side will be Barcelona, with the dynamic trio, Messi, Ibrahimovic, and Pedro, and the best midfield in the world and a pretty solid defense and goalkeeper. My prediction: Barcelona win.

It makes my weekend to be able to watch a few goals scored. Mancilla, the Chilean forward, scored against Puebla for Toluca in the Mexican league today. Sadly it was the only goal I witnessed. Wouldn’t have been the case iffy

La tercera de 12 pruebas del Tri… Corea del Norte

barcatellano — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:10:02 +0000

Es “el tercer partido de preparación de la Selección Mexicana” y “Javier Aguirre no pudo llamar a elementos que militan en el extranjero” y a los “que están participando en torneos internacionales”. Por eso, ”para este compromiso, las modificaciones más severas se verán en el medio campo. Corea del Norte se encuentra ubicada en uno de los grupos más complicados” y “es evidente que los coreanos tendrán como su principal virtud la velocidad” mediotiempo.com. Predicciónes: gana Mexico.

México 5, Bolivia 0

“En el arranque de su preparación para el Mundial, Los mexicanos golearon.” “Con un tridente ofensivo que en 20 minutos anotó 4 goles” mediotiempo. Con goles en el primer tiempo de Pablo Barrera, El Chicharito, Braulio Luna, quien ”lució en el partido”, y con un gol en el segundo tiempo de Paul Aguilar.

Matchday one of the Champions league: Preview and Review

barcatellano — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:15:35 +0000

Chelsea and Man Utd struggled to get their 1st win of the group-stage in the Champions. Wolfsburg’s Grafite looking on top of his form after scoring a hat-trick. Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo scored the opener for Real and for the entire league. Porto looking to qualify in my opinion after playing well against the hardest team in group d. Bayern off to a great start. Only two draws in the 1st day.

Liverpool look sure to grab a win. Lyon vs Fiorentina looks to be a good game in group e. Inter vs Barca probably the best match-up in the group-stage. Group g looks to be the group with the most come back teams to return to the Champions. Arsenal looking to have the easiest group.

Predictions: Liverpool win, Fiorentina win, Inter win, Sevilla win, Stuggart win, AZ win, Arsenal win.

2nd leg semi-final preview: #2

barcatellano — Wed, 06 May 2009 18:45:16 +0000

Barcelona will travel to Stamford Bridge for the 2nd leg of the Champions League semi-final. The competion stats still favor Barcelona. Lionel Messi with 8 goals, and Xavi with 6 assist. With Manchester United already in the final, Chelsea or Barcelona must turn around the goalless draw from last Tuesday.

My prediction: Barcelona win.

Arsenal v Manchester United results: Manchester United won 3-1, 4-1 agg.
