The Front: El Mundo Deportivo (25.08.2011)
DIABOLICAL SORTING DRUM
The sorting could place Barça with Milan, Dortmund, and City
The azulgrana give fear, and all of the rivals want to avoid them
Messi is the favorite to win the new award from UEFA
Barça will respond with football
The Bernabéu closes ranks with Mourinho
Okay, facing the Italian and the German champions plus one of the top 4 of England might be the hardest gropu possible. But that's the worst case, why should we get a group like that? Why isMundo Deportivo even speculating about it? Is it something fix like that we played against Inter in 2009 group stage?
Just stating a possibility.
I dont know about you, but this possibility is the Group of Death. It is one I really hope the club avoid.
I can only hope I guess.
Lets hope Real get Milan and City. Allegri and Manicini can tear Real apart. They are more Physical than Real is and we wont have to wait till the end of the season to be rid of Mourinho.
I know it's unlikely to happen, but wouldn't it be sweet to see Madrid knocked out in the first round?! (Sigh.)
despite my huge hating of Real, Milan is nowhere near Real at this moment, same as in last season mate.. City could teach them a lesson tho!
Milan is so lame… Give 'em Shakhtar, a team with balls!
YEAH SHAKHTAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dzeko, Aguero, Silva, Nasri & Yaya ( pretty scary don't you think) would tear real apart
real would be second in the group and in the next round they face united
and its all over for mourinho
anybody know something about negotiations considering strike? is there possibility that there could be matches next weekend?
and if they don't play (i really hope that they will!!!) how can I get my money back 'cause i have already bought the tickets?
be happy! barca vs villariel going to be happen at saturday.
YES!!!! so happy now
I can finally see my first ever match at camp nou!!!
Facing them is a possibility, but even if we meet them, Barca will easily finish top.
Another trophy to add to his collection.
Talk about the Group of Death…… (Thank God it is 1 of several possibilities.)
All 31 teams will fear facing Barcelona at any stage of CL, all I want out of the group stage is a draw where we don't have to travel 1000's of miles!!
What are they saying? Everyone wants to face Barca in the CL :p. I’ve heard a couple of interviews with players and coaches from teams who qualified them for CL, and they all said: ‘Well, I really hope we meet Barcelona in the group stages.’ Fools…
it is totally valid.
the winning team from one group plays against the runners-up from another group – which means those teams playing against us in the group stage will not play against us in the round of 16.
The teams who say that, are the ones who aint going through anyways!! I saw the Coach of RC Genk last night and he said, he was hoping to come out against Barca, Real or Man Utd!!! If RC Genk really wants to go through, they are not hoping for any of these teams of course!!!
Please let us draw Genk from Belgium. I'm from Belgium and a big fan of Genk, I see every home game live. It would be a dream come true to see my 2 favorite teams play each other. And also a lot of players from Genk want to face Barça. And one of the directors is a Barça socio

MOURINHO IS THE HITLER OF MODERN DAY FOOTBALL!!!
Every club wants to play Barca n it shouldnt come as a surprise cos evry club president knows that playing against barca guarantees a stadium filled to maximum capacity meaning more money.
Manchester City 5 – 0 Real Madrid
Real Madrid 2 – 6 Manchester City
I'll donate € 250 to Totalbarca if this is the score (if they ever are to face each other)
!! !
everyone is overestimating manchester city. those fools can't defend for their lives. i don't like madrid but they would rip manc apart, probably in a high scoring affair.
Actually they have a great defence, they conceded the joint least last season in the EPL
i don't read stats, i watch and manc have far to often conceded too many goals against proper opponents and they don't know how to keep a lead. i guess no one will believe me until it happens so i hope manc meets real. don't let your hatred blind you, real will hurt anyone with an average defense.
I actually agree with you Marc! RM is very strong and this year even more! But Man City have bettered their squad too! They could actually show that they're motivated to win, and with their squad, I'm sure they could come with some surprises! I don't mean that Man City will win easily from RM, but it might be possible!
no Dzeko would destroy madrid
I just hope we don't get any Russian or Ukrainian teams
i hate those teams
i would like a group with Benfica, Ajax and Dinamo Zagreb
most of these team i would like that barca gets Dinamo zagreb, so I can go and watch them
well it will be the group of death but other 3 teams will fear their elimination when they play Barca, we can beat them all, City will be difficult though with their signings.
