Deco's game is today! Barcelona 2006 vs Porto 2004. It's gonna be so nostalgic seeing Ronaldinho and all the other guys wearing Barcelona's shirt again.

Edit: There's a live stream for anyone that can't watch on TV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9RLw34KzxA

I love Barca 2006.. great team.. I still think Rijkaards team was better then the team that guardiola had.. which could only play 1 style of football and has a lot more tumbling crybabies.. Rijkaards team were made of real men..

Ronaldinho is not gonna play anymore. The flights from Brazil to Portugal are messed up this week end.
I really wanted to see him. But there will be Messi and my team that won the '04 Champions League.

In modern football, I think it's more then money than anything else, of course, the clubs in the CL get more money. :P Nothing to do with recognition.

Man U at the same time are Man U, if Real oddly didn't make it to CL one season they could still attract big players because of who they are. Some team are exempt from having to have CL to get players in because of their status alone. Man City on the other hand threw money at it.

I think Man City are a great example of how important the Champions League can be though. Look at the difference between the quality of players they attracted before they had Champions League football and after...

True. the likes of Aguero or Silva were never going to go there without the CL football. However they did get Tevez before (a true mercenary in footballing terms) and paid him a stupid amount of money at that, they at the time were very rich but only in European Cup not CL.

Sorry I didnt get that, would you care to elaborate? Tevez is and has always been important on every team he played. And he has always given his 100% with every jersey he wore...

The topic with ManU is that we know they bounce back sooner rather than later to the CL. Milan in the other hand, is a complete mess. Milan is 7 times winner of the CL; RM and Milan are the real stars of the CL.

RM still is, Milan is probably gone for a couple of years if not more.

Pjanic's goal in the Manchester United match was simply amazing! Apparently he managed to pull that off because he trained with an actual American football the day before the match!
