i know what you are thinking, is it the copa del rey already?but i still havent completely digested the results from the first real madrid - barcelona matchup over the weekend. sure barcelona all but assured the league championship with the tie at madrids home stadium but they were unable to put the game away once real went a man down. and yeah, after being embarrassed 5-0 in their first meeting, real can feel good about clawing their way back to a tie after they lost a player to a red card but is a tie at home which essentially concedes the championship anything to crow about? so, still alot to prove for both sides. should be interesting as the game is played at a neutral venue.

i wouldnt be all that surprised to see real madrid win. they are a much deeper squad and barcelona has some key players missing at fullback and outside of messi have had trouble scoring goals of late.

as for the amuse-bouche, you can sink your teeth into tottenham v. arsenal, two north london rivals of long standing. should be a heated match as arsenal at #2 in the standings still has a shot at winning the league despite shooting themselves in the foot at nearly every occasion while tottenham currently fifth would like to land in the top four to book another trip to the champions league next season.

got it?

tottenham arsenal goes live on espn2 at 245 while barcelona-real streams on espn3 at 330 and broadcasts on goltv.
