Midfield is Busquets-Xavi-Iniesta...
They are not playing like that. He is playing in midfield, same as Wilshere/Ramsey when being in the attacking 3.
Agree to disagree then. It looks like the usual inverted pyramid shape in midfield for Barca, Busquets holding, Iniesta and Xavi as the interiors.
Cesc missing a sitter.
Run and shot over from Cesc just there proves my point.
It has taken 60 mins for Xavi and Fabregas to do anything worth talking about.
They have actually changed it at half time. Cesc is playing further forward here in the second.

You're trolling me 😆
Fantastic from Neymar, what a player. Montoya shat himself in front of goal as he usually does. Remember that chance he cocked up vs Real Madrid?
Nah, I am not. Neymar played a lot more central in the first, but has started from the wing in the second. Cesc defo in midfield now...
Rex is not trolling. I watched the whole first half and Fabregas was nowhere near the goal. Unfit Messi to the rescue. They have seen enough of Xavi's shitness.
It's getting to the point where Barca are going to use Xavi exclusively at Camp Nou and never twice in a week. He's off the blood doping now so isn't nearly as good as two seasons ago.
I don't believe that. It's just Father time catching up. Look at Iniesta who is still some player!
All of the Barca/Madrid/Bayern lads are doped up.
I guess we can make it official now; both Ramsey and Messi coming off the bench, and where one had a goal and an assist and a few shots on target, the other has zilch. Ramsey > Messi
Final score, 0-0.

That's a wild accusation.
Barca rotating a lot more heavily this season compared to the past.
On a completely unrelated matter saw Cesc tweet a pic a few weeks of himself being woken up early morning for a blood doping test.....
So, Barcelona fails to equal the Madrid record from the 60s of opening a season with 9 straight wins. Atletico Madrid will get a shot at it in a few minutes away at Espanyol. Interesting!
Espanyol takes the lead after Curtois kicks the ball into his own net... First time this season Atletico hasn't taken the lead. What are they really made of?
Diego Costa showing what a major twat he is. Again.
