"El Clásico": Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona

Tomorrow's/Saturday's the BIG DAY for another installment of "El Clásico", the second and final season showdown between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona/Barça.

It starts at 8pm local Spain time and is played on Real Madrid's turf in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

I'm curious.... Is ANYONE out there going to Pay-Per-View it? I'm certainly not - although it's not all that expensive at 12 Euros. Seems to me their first meeting was NOT PPV and I did watch it.

If you don't plan to PPV it, one can certainly LISTEN LIVE online or on a normal radio if you live in Spain. I'm also aware of some way to WATCH it online as well but I won't know how/where for sure until shortly before the game starts. Go to MadridMan's Spain Radio, TV, Music, & Movies page for more details and links.

Yes, I'm going to pay for it because my family and some friends will come to my home to watch it.

I predict Real Madrid 3-2 Barcelona, but Barça will win the league. I hope you enjoy it!

Edu

No. I won't pay that much for football on TV. You say it's not that expensive, but there is another important game in Madrid today at 18.00 hrs, Rayo v Albacete, and it is only 10 € to see the game at the stadium.

Not the same importance or quality I agree, but live football in a stadium with a good atmosphere. And I expect (although I haven't checked) that Real v Barca will be on TV as soon as the game has finished.

Edu, as we're doing predictions....
Rayo 1 Albacete 0

id rather watch Rayo it will be a much better game
Madrid and Barca will just cancel one another out with Barca making sure they dont lose
but in saying that i shall be watching it on t.v (but not paying)in a club near me,
and again the money i waste going watching drivel everyweek at least the atmsophere will be special

Yeah I'm not so sure Billy. Barca really are in a league of their own in Spain this season and the points difference doesn't reflect their superiority.

Madrid HAVE to win at home, so they will be attacking and I can see Barca scoring a few on the break. Easy win for the away team I think.

Final Score: FC Barcelona-6 :: Real Madrid-2

well that has shown me my great indepth knowledge of football
they realy cancelled one another out

Well Billy I said Rayo would win and they lost 3 - 0. Superb footballing display from Barca, one of the best teams in the world at the moment.

Mind you, I fancy Chelsea to beat them mid week, unfortunately.

Did anyone notice if "El Clásico" was shown (tape-delayed) on local/free TV shortly after the actual partido finished?

Saludos, MadridMan

No I couldn't find it. It's on digital soccer channel (50) tonight at 10.00 if you have that.

the league is well and truly over and won comprehensivly by Barca in the end, another big game for them tonight, Chelsea away, it wil be very tough for them but i think Barca might just sneak the win, due to chelsea having to attack, they are very hard to beat at home so it has the makings of a good game, its live on terestrial t.v. here in England, so i shall be glued to it

my indepth football knowledge comes back to bite again
its the man u v arsenal game tonight my apologise the Barca game is tomorrow and thats on sky

You really are the expert this week Billy lol.

Chelsea to beat Barca (I think their name is on the cup), Arsenal to beat Man Utd, all London final.

Did you know no London team has ever won the Champions League ?
Maybe West Ham will in a couple of years time

There you go Billy, feel better now. I got them both wrong !

I'll shut up for predictions for the final. I'm not a fan of either team, so as long as Ronaldo doesn't score I won't be unhappy.

i bet the Spanish sports newspapers are not saying what ours do! they time wasted and at long last got punished for it,chelsea are moaning about the ref,penalties,fouls,you name it they are blaming everybody but themselves.its about time one of the big boys got what they deserve, they do it week in week out against the lesser clubs and nothing is said or done.
at least it should be an open final now rather then two teams cancelling each other out (and with that comment i stand to be corrected again!

Billy , i read newspapers in four languages (including the English ones )and all are saying was a steal. At least four penalties not call by the referee who only had 10 previous international games under his belt,that to ref a Champions semifinal?
Barcelona play overall better in the series but Chelsea was robbed in the end,and I am not a fan of neither. Its about time UEFA does its job and get the refereering level up to standards or we will have to go to video!

The ref did have a stinker Pedmar, but I had a penalty to Barca in the first leg when Henry was clearly pullover over. I don't hear Chelsea moaning too much about that.
