UEFA Champions' League 2nd leg Semi-Finals (3-4/05)

Barcelona v Real Madrid
Manchester United v Schalke

Tuesday, May 3

Barcelona v Real Madrid

Verdict: With Khedira remaining on the sidelines with a torn abductor muscle, it is expected that 'Lass' (Lassana Diarra) will continue in midfield as Real try to turn around a 0-2, first-leg deficit. It was a spiteful match at the Bernabeu with 5 yellow and 2 red cards awarded. Diarra committed an incredible 7 fouls but some how avoided the yellow card. The Frenchman has collected an amazing 11 yellow cards (in all competitions) since the turn of the year! With Barca almost certain to monopolize possession, there's a good chance that frustration will creep into the Real Madrid ranks with Diarra more likely than anyone to 'blow his top'.

Pick: Lassana Diarra to receive a card @1.97 (betfair, 10 units)
Diarra cautioned in the 58th minute.
