Champions League Semi Final - Barcelona v Manchester Utd

[boumsong]

Although Barca have struggled of late in la liga i fully expect them to win tonights match. Barca have looked superb at home in the c/l, winning all 5 games with an aggregate 10-1. 13/8 looks great value. It looks like Henry will be passed fit and he will certainly be a man up for tonights match. Messi though will undoubtebly be Barca's biggest threat. 8/1 for Messi 1st scorer seems a gr8 price.

BARCELONA WIN
MESSI 1ST GOALSCORER

After last nights minor success. How come only one player got booked Im having another crack.

Barcelona v Man Utd
I am expecting United to give Barce a footballing lesson tonight. I Think Barce are to stubborn/ Arrogant to change their style and it could cost them.
R Giggs 13 - 2 anytime scorer. If anyone is due a goal he is
A Iniesta 6 - 1 anytime scorer. Scores in the big games, be a surprise if we don't see him at some point.

Man Utd 4 - 1 90 - 1
Man Utd 4 - 2 125 - 1

Man Utd to be leading after 10 minutes 17 - 2

Barcelona are 11/10 to have the first booking, With United top of the fair play league (Tottenham are 2nd how did that happen), thats a huge price

And i will go for the Scholes of the Barce team, Deco to be the first to be booked @ 22/1

Id go with Double Chance Barcelona or Draw.

Shame to see Vidic not making it but Hargeaves runs from the back will cause Barcalona problems. Backed Barca 2-1 but hope MU win as theirs a hint of destiny about the CL this year. Also done Brown first goalscorer @66/1 (should be 20/1!) which will make the MU corners more exciting.

Good luck - enjoy the game

[wreckrock]

After Riise's horror, wes brown at 66's is always possible lol.

I think this will be a cagey affair. I think both team will look not to concede to take into the 2nd leg as an advantage.

under 2.5 goals 1.73

Man utd can shut messi out the game. hes not at full fitness, maybe rushed to get back. He can try either wing, Evra can keep up with him and Hargreaves can use strength to keep him out the game. I think, well hope, Messi will struggle. A tight affair expected, draw might be the best option but Barcelona have hit a rough patch and without Puyol, Man Utd can snatch a 1-0 win.

[seanmac]

glad to see that my prediction for the 1st leg was right , as i predicted a 0-0 draw in this forum

[chappy]

looking at the subs bench i am backing bareclona outright and draw ht and barcelona ft, think they have been poor in the league when it was well out of reach with Real winning easily and this has been there target for sometime A B U for me come on Barca

[hornybaby90]

chappy can I ask why you have made that prediction based on 'the subs bench'?
