Yeah it's terrible there are these big games so soon now, it doesn't quite feel the same.

The big games are meant to be played under floodlights.

Yup. It worked in the Supercup so Zidane's trying the same thing.

Might be too defensive of a line up though since they need all 3 points.

I don't think so, this game is a matter of balance. If Madrid can get comfortable in possesion and contain Messi and Suarez they will get their chance regardless of whether Isco or Kovacic plays.

...wow. Also, that barcelona line-up...

we really have no excuses, we should win this. Top to bottom we have better players than they do. Even Messi ascending to the heavens again shouldn't be enough this time

Feck, I have that self-important cnut Ray Hudson commentating on my stream.

Does he think he's the main attraction or something? Despicable man.

I'm not aware this El Classico happen at dinner time at Asia right now. Finally, La Liga trying to emulate PL success with Asia's viewers. Sucks for European though..

What happen in LaLiga? Why both of them using 4-4-2 again? Is it similiar with Atletico setup(not the defensive minded)?

The amount of CM's on the pitch. Kovacic, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro vs Rakitic, Paulinho, Iniesta and Busquets.

Has Modric ever lost possession in his career? Can’t recall a single instance honestly

Tough choice, this or Everton Vs Chelsea.

Everton are in good form and I do prefer the PL obviously. I’m gonna watch El classico for 30 then switch to Everton Chelsea.

Good day of football, glad all my shopping and wrapping is done.

He has some horrible passes/miscontrols leading to a counter now and then, but who hasn't? Certainly one of the greatest midfielders I've seen.

I din’t understand why Real never replace Benzema, beside being ago with not being the teams designated goalscorer, what’s so great about him?

Think this is the first live El Clasico I have watched. Don't fancy watching Everton so much. Great to see so many of the world's best players.
