Who cares? It's a friendly ffs.

then before? what two months ago? We outclassed them then, and I doubt we'll even have half our starters

wow...taking it too seriously buddy.

manutd are the same team and talking about tactics,fergie wont even try new tactics against our b team players.

Even if they won who cares? It's a friendly it doesn't count for anything. No Messi is not with the squad, I doubt Fergie will change tactics vs our b team anyway

The players, and Pep. The fans all care.
Football is a game of war during 90 mins extra times not included.

If Messi's not playing then we can all say it's a friendly and messi didnt play if Barca lost.

Fergie will attack. With the current depth of team he has on his hands and the great form of most players, there's little doubt they will attack.

Whatever you say, I'm going to come back when Thiago makes you look foolish

I'm calm, what would make you think otherwise?

Huntsman. Trolling is against the rules of this forum. Stay out if you have nothing useful to post.

As long as no one gets injured I don’t care if Man U beats us 5-0.
We’re gonna destroy Madrid on August anyway, that’s all that matters

Right Now > Training session at the RFK stadium in Washington DC, Xavi joins the group, Pique and Maxwell working individually

Black kits tonight! GETINNNN

1-1 70'

Thiagoaaaaaaaaaaaal
his new name

Thiago scores his 4th goal of the pre-season, in 4 friendly games !

Who was it that missplace the pass for the 2nd goal?

I didn't see the first half but, apart from gifting man utd the 2nd goal, I was impressed with the youngsters. They were so good that man utd had to park the buss

Tw Pique "It was great to see my old teammates again! We lost 2-1 against Manchester United but I think we played well! Keep going"
