我講過好幾次, 我寧可我地係俾馬拉加淘汰而衛冕國王盃失敗, 都唔願再輸俾巴卡夢三 (尤其喺貝納保) 而出局, 正係以下咁解! Phil Ball 當然明白啦..
係, 哩壇野, 我懦夫, 得未?

Maybe it's also because Madrid's current ascendancy will be challenged before they can even get used to enjoying it. A five-point advantage is a rare luxury, but psychologically it will seem like peanuts again if they lose over the two legs. As far as Barcelona are concerned, the tie represents a nasty challenge. If they lose it, the collateral damage may be far greater than the relatively minor problem of losing in the final last season. Out of the cup and trailing in the league is not a wonderful prospect, although the nature of the consequences can also depend, given the special nature of this rivalry, on the manner of the defeat.
Real Madrid still feel that they were robbed in the Champions League last season. Whether they are right or not, the idea served to bolster their morale, to protect them from the darker implications of the loss. It is also to their credit that they have bounced back from the Bernabéu result in December, a measure of their greater mental strength this season. However, an aggregate loss now to Barcelona is tricky to contemplate. They would have to pick themselves up all over again, and try not to dwell for too long on why they cannot seem to out-compete their bogey-men. It's going to be interesting, Clásico fatigue or not.
Meanwhile, the awkward thing called the league got in the way. Both the giants had their feet of clay revealed, Madrid trailing at one point at Mallorca after the excellent Hemed's goal, but rallying in the second half to win with replies from Gonzalo Higuaín and José Callejón. The latter is slowly winning his manager's confidence, and always seems to score when he's given a game. If I were Mou I'd put him on from the start against Barça. They're not used to him. How about leaving the off-form Ronaldo on the bench? Now that would really confuse the opposition.
