all this trash talk of 4-0, 5-0, 8-0 is just that: trash ...
I'm not saying it is not possible, just that it is highly unlikely, and victory is certainly not a foregone conclusion ...
I mean, given the current situation, Barcelona go into the match as favourites ... Real Madrid's form has not been helped by a bout of injuries -- Diarra is the latest casualty to an already lengthy list -- while Barça have been scoring for fun against all manner of opposition ... if Barça play to potential, and Real continue to be below par, then a big scoreline could be expected ...
but even this goalmachine Barça side have been held to identical 1-1 draws at the Camp Nou by Basel, Racing, and Getafe ... clearly, the team is not "unstoppable" -- of course not, they are all human ...
and you have to remember that this is "El Clássico", not a "normal" match ... it is the perfect shot at redemption for this Real Madrid side ... if they give it their all and somehow eek out just a 0-1 result, it could rejuvenate their form ... conversely, players like Messi and Eto'o will want to put last season's ignimonious result to bed with a convincing victory this time round, and it would be vindication for Laporta, and the first feather in Pep's managerial cap ... so, basically, and as always, motivation will not be in short supply ...
I want to see a big win just as much as the next supporter, and would be ecstatic if some of those fantasy scorelines were to come true, but I'm not foolhardy enough to be predicting as much ...
and anyway, there is the small matter of Valencia to contend with before all the Clássico hullabaloo ... no telling what the state of mind of both the Barcelona and Real Madrid camps could be after the intervening 11 days pass ...

if we dont win that match i will make me merengue...
haha ... as much as I don't want to see what would happen, I can't help but think of this statement as a very agreeable consolation if the "worst" (a loss) was to happen ...
