Abidal and Iniesta back in the squad

Barça trained on the Nou Camp pitch on Monday evening ahead of their Champions League semi final second leg against Real Madrid and the great news for Guardiola was that Iniesta and Abidal trained normally and are in the squad for the game.

It’s been just 46 days since Eric Abidal had surgery to remove a tumour in his liver on March 17th, but the doctors have given him the all clear and he is in the squad for Tuesday’s game after training normally with the rest of the players this evening. Andrés Iniesta, who missed the first leg in Madrid and the weekend’s defeat in Anoeta, is also fit and has been called up for tomorrow.

Applause for Abidal

Bojan also trained on the pitch, but apart from the rest of the group.

20 players called up

2011-05-02_ENTRENO_39.JPGIniesta is also back for the game after recovering from the calf strain that kept him out last week and at the weekend. In all, 16 first team squad players have been called up, along with B team players Oier, Bartra, Thiago and Sergi Roberto , who all trained with the first team this Monday. Barça’s normal reserve keeper Pinto, is suspended for the game.

Once the session was over, the players and back room staff went off to the Hotel W, where they will all stay the night, before returning to the Nou Camp for a final training session at noon on Tuesday.

The squad
Valdés, Oier, Abidal, Puyol, Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Bartra, Fontàs, Busquets, Sergi Roberto, Thiago, Iniesta, Xavi, Keita, Pedro, Messi, Afellay, Villa and Jeffren.

57,3% of Barcelona's starters this season were former youth players of the club. Most: 8 (8 times). Least: 4 (3 times)

If Carles Puyol plays in the CL semifinal game, it would be his 100th champions league game

Abidal bi mogao biti u timu sutra.

uvrsteni su u 20(abidal i iniesta),e sad dvojica otpadaju s klupe.18 max.

Bartra and Sergi Roberto don't make the final match squad and will watch the game from the stands

Nakon prve utakmice sam bacao kamenje sto su igraci glumili, trcali za sudijom itd. Veceras, nakon svakog faula, a bilo ih je masala, igraci su se podigli na noge i nastavili dalje sa igrom. To je bilo fino vidjeti.

Sto se tice utakmice, moje neko misljenje, prvi pet minuta oba poluvremena Real je kobiva bio bolji, vidjelo se da moze, ali ih je Barca brzo zaustavila tako sto su preuzeli konce u svoje ruke.

Pep Guardiola relishes Barcelona Wembley return




Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said he was honoured to be returning to Wembley for the Champions League final.

The Spaniard was a member of the Barca side who beat Sampdoria 1-0 at the old Wembley in 1992 as the club won the European Cup for the first time.

"It is an honour to get to the final," he stated. "Football is coming home.

"It was a huge moment for the club when we won the Champions League for the first time in the old Wembley and now we are in the new Wembley."

Guardiola's men beat their arch-rivals Real Madrid 3-1 on aggregate to reach the final for the third time in six seasons.

Their likely opponents are Manchester United, who face Schalke at Old Trafford on Wednesday night with a 2-0 lead from the semi-final first leg.


The contest would be a repeat of the 2009 final, which Barca won 2-0 in Rome.

"We will wait and see who will be our opponent and we'll prepare accordingly," added Guardiola. "But if it's Manchester United then it will be a different game to the final in 2009 - they are a different team with different strikers."

After a nervous start two years ago, Barca outclassed United with goals from Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi.

"A match is decided by many uncontrollable things," explained Guardiola. "We were lucky in the beginning of that game and we were a bit better than them after that, but if we meet again it will be a different match.

"We will have to try and find their weaknesses, have the ball and attack."

Guardiola said he would not underestimate a United side who are three points clear at the top of the Premier League, or their indefatigable boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

"They are a great team and he is one of the best in the game - he has shown he can repeat and recreate, and win and win and win in finals," he commented.

Dodavanje Valdez-Alves je prava ljepota. Za mene potez sinocne utakmice.

[Dialer]

jesu ovi vasi pripremili lasere za ciljanje igraca Reala, kamenje za gadjanje autobusa Reala, flashe upaljache i tako to, obicno to radite kad dolazi Real, tako to rade gospodski klubovi, "vise od kluba"

Previše se ti kao navijac Intera sekiraš za Barcu i Real...mnogo manje pišeš o samom Interu
Ali dobro, razumijem te kao Mourinhovog idolopoklonika...on je bitan tebi, a ne Real.

samo pitam, a vidim ti ne demantujes da to radite

I na brnabeu su bili laseri

[Alpha]

Opet su se sudije tu upetljale malo, ali sve u svemu Barca je zasluženo prošla.

Trebas se zapitati zasto Kaka nije sinoc dotakao loptu. A Higuan i Ronaldo jedva. U tome mozes naci jedan od glavnih razloga zasto je Madrid tamo gdje jeste. Ako su sudije krive, trebao bi samo suosjecati s njima. Morali su donijeti jako suptilne odluke izmedju dva tima koja udaraju, simuliraju, foliraju i vrse pritisak. Pocev od uprava, trenera, novinara pa do samih igraca.
Hvala na cestitkama, mada niko ovdje nije doprinijeo pobjedi (direktno). Ako mozes biti imalo objektivan, onda ces priznati da je Barca bila puno bolja od Madrida (u svim utakmicama). Pogledaj ih opet na miru i probaj ocijeniti.

P.S. Izvini, ali nisam gledao ovaj yt link, stvarno sam prezasicen. Gleda mi se nogometna utakmica, ne ubistvo Osame ili vjesanje Sadama. Hvala opet.
