    Happy villa got a goal on his return, if he gets back to his best then barcas hopes of winning the title back will have increased dramatically.

    * fantastic football from Barca tonight. I said it last season that I think this will season will be even better for Messi. Its the first time he has had a proper rest in a long time. Great to see Villa back, he looked really sharp, took the goal very well. Tello was fantastic, would be a brilliant signing for Liverpool if they get him on loan but I think Barca should keep him with them. I still don`t really understand this Song signing. Anyway, with everyone fit, this would be my team:

    ----------------Valdes---------------
    Alves------Puyol------Pique------Alba
    --------------Busquets---------------
    --------Xavi------------Iniesta-------
    Pedro----------Messi-------------Villa

    Subs: Pinto, Mascherano, Tello, Fabregas, Song, Sanchez, Thiago

    Obviously Xavi and Puyol are getting on a bit now so Fabregas and Mascherano will get plenty of playing time. * scary how strong Barca and Madrid are thoughout their whole squads

    Song was signed because he's similar to what Busquets and Mascherano give Barca. A defensive midfielder, who can move back into the backline and play as a centre back.

    This. Their squad is extremely high in quality but it's fairly thin. He's very good cover and will get some starts when injuries and fixture congestion hit.

    Not sure what to make of this he improves the squad but he's never going to start on a regular basis. I would rather nthe money was saved and put towards a proper centre back.

    I hope he does well though.

    Barcelona have offered Cristian Tello a renewal until 2016. Player wants to stay despite interest from Liverpool, Valencia and Atletico

    I think Barcelona will win it 3-1. Just a guess though with them being at home. Anything can happen really, especially as Real Madrid are good from set peices and Barca are a small team.

    I have a feeling Barca will win by 4+ goals tonight. Messi to completely rip Madrid to pieces

    Barcelona line-up (official): Valdes - Alves Pique Mascherano Adriano - Xavi Busquets Iniesta - Pedro Messi Alexis

    What the * is Adriano starting for?

    Real Madrid line-up (official): Casillas - Arbeloa Albiol Ramos Coentrao - Alonso Khedira - Callejon Ozil Ronaldo - Benzema

    No surprises Except from Callejon.
