OT - Barcelona vs. Real Madrid (ESPN360)
Anyone watching Barcelona and Real Madrid right now on ESPN 360?
Pretty fun game to watch so far. Ronaldo had a chance that the Barca keeper turned away and Messi is looking real good, which is no surprise.
I was in Barca when they played Man U for the Champions League and that game, changed my mind that Ronaldo was the best player in the world to Messi. Although Cristiano may not be 100%, Messi is clearly the superior player in my book.

I think both players have a chance to win "FIFA player of the year" if they remain healthy. I just like Messi's style of play more than Ronaldo.
On the other hand, at the start of the season I thought Real Madrid was a sure lock to win the Champions League. I think it would be a disappointment if they don't win after spending all that money.

I'm watching as well. I love the history of this game. This is the only rivalry that can compare to Michigan v. Ohio State for me. Real Madrid were Franco's team and represented the government in Castille. During his regime, Camp Nou was the only place in Spain that anyone could speak Catalan freely. Anyhow, enough history - Go Barca!

That was an amazing goal by Zlatan.

I don't know who this guy is, but I'm pretty sure he's senile. He just called Ibrahimovic a "Taekwando Master" and compared him to "a wonderful virus that's spread."
Shit - Barca down to 10 men

it's ray hudson. some people like him but I agree with ya, imo he's crazy as hell and makes ya want to mute the game.

Great finish, by Zlatan. Messi and Ronaldo both with similar chances that they could not finish.
I like Ronaldo's game a little more - he's bigger, more physical and can flat out fly by defenders. But Messi is so fun to watch too.
Watching these two teams is like watching an All-Star game. When Kaka made that brilliant run between defenders to earn a corner I said to myself - damn, where's he been all game. It's ridiculous someone that good can be shadowed in any game.

He's been hurt if I recall correctly.
