Thanks for the reminder, I had completely forgotten!

Fat Rafa on the couch with Balague.

Expecting Rafa to tap Balague on the knee and say "Get the guitar", any minute now.

1-0 Barca, Pedro.

Only 3 minutes gone.

Harlem Globetrotters form tonight.

This could be brutal.

What a pass/goal.

Don't believe the 'Spain are tired' stories that are going round. This is the best pre tournament action international players can get.

3-0

Barca seem to be playing much more direct tonight, actually enjoying watching them for once tbh.

Pique is looking comfortable bringing the ball out.

Not seen much of Llorente.

Bielsa

I guess we know why some on here rate him.

just had a shot from outside the area. how vulgar.

Has slap head ever started a game for BillMaom?

Didn't see much of the game tonight, it was however on in the background of the Mexican restaurant I was in. Did John Terry lift the cup afterwards btwinningitwithouttakingpart?

G2C Guardiola go out on a high

I never thought Bilbao had much of a chance in this final tbh, Barcelona are far too good for them. They've had a great season though, played some fantastic football in La Liga and their run to the Europa League final was brilliant entertainment.

Hope Bielsa renews his contract and gives it another go next season. Bilbao are similar to the Chille side he managed at the last World Cup (the most entertaining side in the tournament imo), in that he has a good group of young players who all buy into his rather unorthodox methods. Everyone at that club, from the board to the fans, go along with it and accepts its limitations because of the enjoyment and pride they get from when it works. It must be a great thing to be a part of.

Love the Copa del Rey final, always get a fantastic atmosphere and a good game.

73 goals in 60 games for Messi this season btw. 28 assists too. What a brilliant little @#%&! he is
