I think Messi magic should work however this time Real Madrid is not the same what they faced last year.Kaka is not there but Christiano Ronaldo is very much charged.Ozil and Khedira these 2 Germans are going great and Ramos,Xavi Alonso are also contributing a lot for Real-and the most deadly combination is Jose M.It will be an interesting Messi-Ozil or Messi-Ronaldo match-certainly not to be missed.

It is better having a 0-0 in 90minutes than having a 0-0 after 5 days of boring cricket!
Its funny to see the hype over a match in the Spanish league, when these are the only two teams that can be called decent. Comapre the EPL table and see what I mean. The title tace is closest in years, and there are top class teams apart from the big four that can win(Spurs for example). Also the football is fast paced and more exciting, and with better players compared to what u have in Spain.

spanish football is far more exciting and has technique and is just beautiful to watch. Barca and real are far better than any other team and spanish league is far better than english. Hypothetically speaking, if an interschool league in kathmandu has top 6 teams that are good, doesnt make the league better. English league just lacks quality these days, that it had 3 years back.

Your point is essentially correct, but I need to contradict you in a very basic point
Spanish league is not at all over hyped, it is only the EL CLASSICO which is hyped, and rightly so... Just look at the teams and the staring line up for both the teams and u will realize why..
having said that EPL this yr is the most fascinating and can't agree more that any team can win it this yr.

I don't agree with you.. Look at the champions league results from 2000. Compare the results between EPL and Spanish league. The results will will tell you which league is overhyped.

sandeep kumar you live in a dream world. EPL only 2 teams can win. Manunited or Chelsea. Which other team can with the premiership apart from those 2 teams. Aresnal has not won anything for 6 years, Liverool has not won anything for 20years. EPL is a 2 horse race. In Spain, Valencia has won the title. In this sense Spanish football is more competitive.

Isn't Spanish football similar to EPL in that it is Barca/Real that wins. I remember Valencia winning once and Deportivo winning once. And so have Blackburn once and Arsenal 1nce / twice in the past 15 years in EPL
