Anyone been over there to see a match?'"
Try and watch them away from home, if you are wanting to see them for footballing reasons.
Unless you get tickets for a big game the atmosphere at the Nou Camp and Bernabeu is generally disappointing, full of tourists more interested in getting pictures and people who think they are at the theatre, in terms of attitude and dress.
I've seen games at a dozen or so Spanish grounds, the best experiences in the top division can be found at Athletic, Sevilla, Valencia or Atlético for me, though obviously it depends on your reasons for wanting to go.

| Quote: Ande "Very poor start from Atletico and what was Resino thinking playing Forlan and Aguero seperately?'"
Just like at the start of last season the lack of any striking depth means they are trying to rotate because of the internationals and start of the champions league games, and the squad isn't strong enough to cope.
Quote: Ande "Defense again struggling.'"
Yep, expecting carnage at the Nou Camp again tonight, though hopefully it won't be as bad as last season.

I was going to Sky+ the game tonight but then i realised we were playing Barca with our defense. It'll be painful watching if we get off to a bad start.
There is no reason why Resino won't play Aguero and Forlan together tonight but i wouldn't be suprised if he played one in each half again.

As shown in the home games between the two over the last couple of years the only chance we'd have to beat Barca is to attack them, and given the players that's the only way Atlético can really play anyway.

| First half Barça were something else.
Shame they couldn't have been half as good in the second half, but Messi was brilliant.
Great result for Athletic Bilbao! Champions League here we come!

They were very good, but they didn't have much up against them.
I think Atlético could be a couple of injuries away from a disastrous season, the squad is ridiculously thin on quality and numbers.

Resino doesn't look like he's going to get anything from the players.
If I were a fan I'd be worried about the attitude of the players. Forlan and Agüero looked like they'd rather be somewhere else even before kick off.
How good did Athelti look?

I think Resino is out of his depth to be honest, and in some ways making 4th spot last season might not have been for the best. Unfortunately the board let a bit of player power affect their thinking when it came to sacking Aguirre, and I think they are now reaping what they sowed there, the attitude has been shocking at times in what I have seen this season.
Good to see Athletic doing well, if they can get on a run now and build confidence then they could carry that on when some of the harder games come about - they did play some good stuff at times last season so it maybe shouldn't be that much of a surprise.
I notice Van Nistelrooy scored yesterday, I'd forgotten he existed.

The problem last year was that half an hour of great football would result in nothing and then the opposition would put five or six passes together and score.
To be fair, I could have scored against Xerez in the last 20 mins
