    Time:90'
    • Tottenham Hotspur
    • Barcelona
    • 90' That is the final whistle, 1-1 between Spurs and Barca.
    • 87' Spurs are pushing for a winner now. Unsurprising - this Barca side is basically a B-team.
    • 85' The corner on the right is swung over and Pinto flaps but the ref blows for a foul.
    • 84' Spurs surge forward, Defoe picks it up on the edge of the D, he turns into space and could be in but Oriol gets across to block him and deflect the shot wide for a corner.
    • 82' Corner to Spurs on the left. Taken short to Keane who knocks it back to Chimbonda deep on the left, he takes a touch and swings over a glorious cross and LIVERMORE FLIES IN WITH A HEADER TO NOT IT PAST PINTO FOR 1-1! The equaliser from Spurs!
    • 76' Livermore is on for Spurs now...
    • 74' It would be safe to say both sides are going through the motions. Spurs are looking to avoid injuries more than anything else. Incidentally, Robbie Keane is getting cheered whenever he touches the ball. Not fully fit but involved today, he came on as a sub around 15 minutes ago for Jenas.
    • 72' SPURS SUB: Rose comes on for O'Hara.
    • 70' Great run by Lennon and he drills a low ball in, Keane is there but Jorquera gets a hand on it and Keane can score but a superb dive in by Jorquera to tip away.
    • 67' Modric with a free-kick but straight at Jorquera with Chimbonda the target.
    • 61' Swung over by Modric and in flies Chimbonda but he heads wide! Should have done better.
    • 60' Corner to Spurs after good work by Lennon on the right, who's been their best player.
    • 58' Lennon on the right with a good ball to Huddlestone on the edge of the box, he smashes it on goal but it ricochets off two defenders and wide for a corner! Could have gone anywhere...
    • 55' A rare attack for Spurs but Defoe can't get on to the through ball and Barca get it clear.
    • 54' Barca break again and a great ball sends Keita free down the right but just too long for him.
    • 53' Free-kick to Barca but wasted and Spurs clear.
    • 51' Gomes comes out to clain confidently after coming on for Cudicini at half time.
    • 49' Defoe is almost played through but Jorquera comes out.
    • 47' Barca passing well again as Spurs look a touch behind them in terms of movement.
    • 46' Second half underway!! Half-time subs: Gomes and Naughton on for Cudicini and Hutton; Barca have brought on an entirely new team it seems. Oraol, Pinto, Enrique, Muniesa, Dalmau, Malarueda, Keita, Dos Santos, Jeffren, Ruben. Phew.
    • 45' Half-time, 1-0 to Barca!!
    • 44' Sanchez gets away from the wooden Corluka after his poor clearance and he hammers a shot towards the top right but tipped away for a corner by Cudicini!!
    • 41' Spurs are on the back foot again as this second-string Barca side knock the ball about with ease and aplomb.
    • 39' Palacios on the ball, he slides I into Modric WHO LETS RIP WITH A WICKED DRIVE THAT SMASHES THE BAR AND AWAY! It drops to Lennon who swings it over and Assou-Ekotto is on the left, he volleys into the ground and it almost flies over Jorquera but he tips it over for a corner!!
    • 37' Good play by Lennon, now Defoe on the edge of the box tries to work a shot, it's blocked and O'Hara gets it but blocked and cleared.
    • 36' The crowd jeer as Hutton miscontrols on the right.
    • 34' Spurs started well but they are, along with the crowd, subdued by that barnstorming goal.
    • 32' Toure comes through the middle, this is a great run and he's in here, from halfway too, he gets past a poor tackle from Corluka but Huddlestone slides in to tackle well BUT BOJAN IS THERE TO DRILL IT IN FOR 1-0! Wonderful from Toure and Bojan reaped the rewards.
    • 29' Another free-kick to Barca, Toure crosses this time and Pedro flies in but headed clear.
    • 28' Montoya and Caceres get up for this but a poor delivery and Spurs clear.
    • 27 Huddlestone with a foul on Sanchez in the middle of the park.
    • 26' More good play from Los Cules but Huddlestone is there to sweep up and Spurs clear.
    • 24' Good ball over for Gudjohnsen who heads it towards goal but well wide.
    • 20' Pedro cuts inside from the right, leaving Assou-Ekotto for dead and he drills it past Cudicini and surely 1-0 but the Italian gets down brilliantly to tip it into the side netting!
    • 17' Barca are seeing more of the ball now as Bojan gets it on the edge of the box and he lobs Cudicini but just over!
    • 16' Mix-up in the Spurs defence and Gudjohsen is through but as he slides in out comes the keeper to block!
    • 14' Barca are barely getting a sniff as Modric and Jenas combine. The lack of striking power for Spurs is clear though.
    • 12' Great change of pace from Lennon and he puts in a dangerous cross that skims the head of Defoe and evades the Barca defence, it drops to Modric on the left who cuts inside but his drive is blocked!
    • 10' Spurs are doing well here as Jenas plays it over for Bent but cleared by Barca.
    • 8' Great skill by Modric but he can't quite get the final pass through to Defoe.
    • 6' Good ball from Palacios but a touch too high for Bent.
    • 4' Good move by Barca but the touch from Toure is too heavy and it's out for a goal kick.
    • 2' Early attack for Spurs but Modric's ball through has too much weight for Defoe.
    • 1' Match underway!!
    • - Follow Tottenham v Barcelona in the Wembley Cup from 20:00!

    up the gunners

    From harold.jackson46, on Sat 25 Jul 4:10PM

  12. a draw not bad for spurs which way you look at it

    From JACK, on Sat 25 Jul 9:58AM

  13. only a friendly ya'all know, we didnt get beat and­ they were lucky to get a draw Spurs were in control the­ whole game and they scored a scrappy goal, most posters­ again not sayin who they support which makes me belive­ that they are embarassed by there own club but hey i­ wouldnt broadcast it if i supportred a @#$% team­ either..

    another thing do you Barca fans think that­ this is how PL teams always play?? no B side would get­ into the CL ffs thats just stupid if they could then­ there would be no need for any of your 1st team players­ this was only a friendly and you cud tell because i­ think i remember about 3 tackles in the game if this­ was a serious game and Barca played those kids they­ would've been destroyed physically and mentally as­ they havent got the experience or ability YET to deal­ with it, dont get me wrong I like Barca very much but­ dont get carried away 1 CL win doesnt make you best in­ the world.

    COYS
