Barcelona vs Tenerife - La Liga Match Preview

Tuesday May 4 2010,
Tags: FC Barcelona, Tenerife, Spain La Liga
Spanish Primera Division leaders Barcelona will host Tenerife at the Camp Nou on Tuesday at 19:00 GMT.

Carlos Puyol with Sergi Busquet and Bojan against TenerifeBarcelona are no longer present in the Champions League, and for that reason, they have now been fighting with all their strength to at least win La Liga title. The Catalans are in danger of losing the pole position to their rivals Real Madrid if they fail to take every chance they have before the end of the season, but they could be one step closer to accomplishing their mission with a triumph at home against Tenerife.

Barcelona - A good form

Bottom side Tenerife should certainly not be a threat for the league leaders. Barcelona destroyed Villarreal away from home at the weekend 4-1 thanks to a super performance from their Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi. The defending Copa del Rey champions may have not been able to show off their might in Europe this season, but happily, they still have hopes of finishing their season with one cup in their bag at least.

Villarreal vs Barcelona - La Liga Match Preview

Saturday May 1 2010,
Tags: FC Barcelona, Villarreal, La Liga
Champions League hopes are over for FC Barcelona and they can now focus on their last competition which is La Liga. They face Villarreal this weekend at the Estadio El Madrigal on Saturday night.

Barcelona vs Villarreal on January 2 at the Camp NouBarcelona – No right to lose

The Catalans are just one point above Real Madrid in La Liga standings after they failed to take all 3 points away from home when they came up against Espanyol two weeks ago. This weekend, the Yellow Submarines appear to be a dangerous side to beat, but Barcelona have only one option, which is to win.

Losing might worsen their situation since they have been striving remarkably in the past few days. The Catalans won 3-1 against Xerez last Saturday, but they got disqualified from the Champions League subsequent to their incapability to overturn a 3-1 score line which they suffered at the San Siro on April 20.

Barcelona vs Deportivo Xerez – La Liga Match Preview

Friday April 23 2010,
Tags: FC Barcelona, Xerez, La Liga
Barcelona will play an early game against lowly side Deportivo Xerez on Saturday in La Liga, in preparation of their Champions League game against Inter Milan next Wednesday.

Lionel Messi

Day 33

This game will serve them as a chance to keep their lead at the top of La Liga standings, especially in view of the fact that they were unable to grab a win last weekend away to Espanyol. The Catalans drew 0-0 against their city rivals at the disappointing of their fans.

Barcelona – Get ready

This should normally be an easy game for Barca who have all their players available for Saturday apart from Andres Iniesta and Dani Alves. But the most significant thing in the end will be the vision that emerges from the 90 minutes at the Camp Nou–which will hence show, more or less clearly, the outcome of their next task at home to Inter Milan next week.

The true Champion’s League Final - Inter Milan vs FC Barcelona

Tuesday April 20 2010,
Tags: Inter Milan, FC Barcelona, Champions League, Messi, Mourinho
UEFA Champions League Semi-Final Preview Inter vs Barca Live. This is it. The Champions League Final is here - Yes it’s Inter Milan vs Barcelona.

Jose Mario dos Santos Felix MourinhoNo. Actually, it’s a bit premature since it’s only the first leg of the semi-final, but many will tell you that Barcelona and Inter Milan are the two big teams they want to see. So for many it is the true final.

Don´t expect great football match today. With Jose Felix Mourinho, you can expect a gritty, closed defensive match full of tactics to neutralize the opponent, but this isn’t just any opponent - this is Messi & Co. Many are betting that Mourinho will direct the Stadium operations staff to relocate one of FC Barcelona buses and park it behind Julio Cesar.

The current Italian and Spanish champions also faced each other in the group stage of this Champions League campaign. Inter Milan were incapable of scoring in both matches. A nil-nil draw in Milan and a 2-0 defeat in Barcelona left Mourinho with only praise for Guardiola and the Catalan giants. In those two matches, Barcelona’s superiority was obvious, as they amassed a possession of over 60% over both games.

You may think that these statistics would work in favor of Barcelona in boosting their confidence. And so will Mourinho, who will hope to implant a false sense of confidence in their opponents. A few compliments, comments and outlandish statements from the special one are sure to precede and follow this first leg. Watch this space.

Recent Form

The last 4 matches between these two sides have not favored Inter Milan who has yet to score a single goal. Inter Milan have drawn twice and lost twice in the Champions League this decade. So maybe it’s time for a positive change for the milanese. Mourinho will certainly inject this belief in their squad, and remind them of recent results and their dominance over Chelsea.

Both teams are in great form. Inter Milan have been playing with determination and purpose, which has seen them undefeated in their last 6 games in 3 competitions, having won 5 and drawn 1 and with a goal tally of 10-2 in their favor. FC Barcelona has also been in excellent form led by their mercurial striker: the amazing Leo Messi. Their goal tally for their last 6 matches is 15-4 in their favor with 4 wins and 2 draws. But their last game this past weekend saw them draw away to Espanyol in the Catalan derby.  Dropping 2 massively important points in their battle for La Liga and they were lucky to escape with only a 0-0 draw.

Inter Milan vs Barcelona – Champions League Match Preview

Monday April 19 2010,
Tags: Inter Milan, FC Barcelona, Champions League
Fervent football fans will have to wait until April 20 to regain a feel of the UEFA Champions League, and among the first two stadiums to witness the return of Europe’s biggest club competition is the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, where Inter Milan face Spanish giants FC Barcelona in the semifinals.

Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho watching his side against Barcelona in the Champions LeagueInter Milan vs Barcelona – Back in the group stage, first leg

Both clubs met in the group stage of the Champions League this season, and coincidently, the first leg of that particular encounter happened at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Sadly for Barcelona, despite having several chances to destroy the hosts, former Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic had one of his worse days, and hence, the defending champions could only settle for a 0-0 draw.

In that game, French striker Thierry Henry seemed in an extremely weak physical condition, but still, Manager Pep Guardiola agreed to add the former Arsenal striker to his starting line-up. Lionel Messi was not at his best, and as he was unable to do anything special for the visitors, he was incapable of breaking the deadlock.

Barcelona vs Deportivo La Coruña – La Liga Match Preview

Tags: FC Barcelona, Deportivo La Coruna, La Liga
Spanish League leaders FC Barcelona will come up against Deportivo La Coruna at the Camp Nou after their historic triumph at the Bernabeu Stadium at the weekend when they defeated Real Madrid 2-0. Barcelona will be welcoming La Coruna as part of their challenge of Day 32 in La Liga, and they’ll need to be cautious to maintain their position as present rulers.

Barcelona – Returns and Absences

Barcelona against Deportivo La CorunaBarcelona won 2-0 away to Los Blancos on Saturday night following goals from Lionel Messi and Pedro, and fortunately for them, these two aces are eligible for this evening’s game. The major problem for the Catalans now is the ruling-out of midfielder Andres Iniesta.

The Spaniard has again been diagnosed with an injury which could – this time – keep him in the doctors’ room for up to a month. More precisely, Iniesta suffered a hamstring injury just after having recovered from a 2-week injury which he had obtained earlier on.

"He is sad and down,” said Manager Pep Guardiola on Andres Iniesta. “We want him back as soon as possible, and let us hope we can take him to the final (of the Champions League) at the Bernabeu.

Arsenal are still alive in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final as they travel to the Camp Nou to face a weakened FC Barcelona.

Barcelona vs Arsenal Live at the Camp Nou - 20:45 PM Local Time - 14:45 EST

Messi and Xavi celebrate another goalLast week millions of fans all over the world witnessed one of the most entertaining matches of the year. It took place at the Emirates Stadium in London where the Kings of World Football FC Barcelona visited the Princes of Football Arsenal in the first leg of the quarter-final pairing in the UEFA Champions League.

It was branded as a clash of the 2 most entertaining sides of football on the planet. After 45 minutes the fans were left with some harsh reactions. Barcelona fans were left salivating yet frustrated, Arsenal fans were left in fear and astonishment. Neutral fans were left mesmerized and in awe as one could not deny the superiority of the Catalan side. The first half display could only be described as a manhandling of the not-so-English London side.  Two stats will tell the tale of the first half:  0-0 scoreline. Possession 75% Barcelona to 25% Arsenal.

The Champions League returns on Tuesday in Spain, and Barcelona host Arsenal in a match which will decide who will progress in the semi-finals.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Arsenal for BarcelonaThe story of the first leg

Barcelona were only capable of collecting a 2-2 draw when they traveled away to the Emirates Stadium, despite leading 2-0 in the early moments of the second half.

Barcelona displayed a superb performance in the first 20 minutes of their clash against Arsene Wenger’s side, taking both the wings and the center of the field to as attacking measures.

The Arsenal defense was resistant, and an ineffective Zlatan Ibrahimovic was incapable of stealing an early lead for Barca.

Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao – La Liga Match Preview

Friday April 2 2010,
Tags: FC Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, La Liga
FC Barcelona will have their last league warm-up against Athletic Bilbao at home on Saturday before facing bitter rivals Real Madrid at the Bernabeu next weekend.

Barcelona drew 2-2 with Arsenal in midweek in the UEFA Champions League, while Athletic Bilbao were 4-3 winners over Racing Santander on Monday.

Barcelona – Managing the squad

Earlier this season, the Blaugrana drew 1-1 with Bilbao away from home, and Lionel Messi was the victim of a serious injury.

But this time, seeing that Andres Iniesta might again be out of action, another injury would be unacceptable for Barcelona who face Arsenal in the Champions League again next Tuesday, and Real Madrid in La Liga next Saturday.

Perhaps, precautions from the home side against the Andalusians might slow down the pace of the game, but the result will be the most important thing in the end.

A second consecutive draw for Barcelona would not be advisable, since they are still behind Los Blancos in La Liga standings on goal difference.

La Liga Preview, Match Day 22, February 13-15

Friday February 12 2010,
Tags: La Liga, League Preview, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid
We are just past the midway point of the season and La Liga heats up as contenders for the title and the Champions League try to keep up with the relentless tempo of perennial favorites Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The restart of European competition is nearing and teams involved will see rotations in their lineups and will look to solidify their identities and build momentum.  Barcelona and Real are ready to engage in an enthralling feud for first.  Barcelona enter this week amidst referee controversy and injuries but remain the team to beat.  Real, on the other hand, are claiming a newfound hunger and style, and a comfortable win against last place Xerez would further dispel doubts.  Valencia, Sevilla, and Deportivo will continue to add spice to the league, with Mallorca playing the Cinderella role, as they continue their undefeated run at the Ono Estadi.  The middle of the table promises to sizzle, as only 10 points separate 6th place from 10th and traditionally strong sides like Athletic Bilbao, Atlético, Getate, and Villarreal are in the mix.  At the bottom, Valladolid and Zaragoza hope that their new coaches can steer them clear out of relegation.  Watch Atletico Madrid vs FC Barcelona Live

Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona – 3:00 PM EST  (Vicente Calderón)

Atlético historically plays open, high-scoring games versus Barcelona, although last year the much-anticipated match-up Agüero-Messi at the Camp Nou resulted in a lopsided win for the Blaugrana.  Atlético are 12th with 24 points and must begin looking upward on the table in a season filled with inconsistencies.  This week they will not prepare for Barcelona until they stamp their passport to the Copa final this Thursday versus Santander.  They travel to Rácing with a 4-0 lead and they won’t want this opportunity to pass them.  Their performance in this game will surely condition play versus Barça on Sunday.  But Atlético have plenty of firepower of their own and their fans will push them to ride the Copa del Rey success until Monday.

Will Barcelona be able to remain undefeated for another week? Valencia's fight against Sevilla cotinues for the third place


Not much has changed since last week in the Spanish league. With both Real Madrid and Barcelona living up to their expectations, Valencia stumbled on its trip to Andalusia. Now the top is being jealously guarded by the giants, while Atletico and Sevilla are close to face each other at the Copa del Rey final match. The relegation zone has become unstable, so from now on the battle will be fought in three fronts. 

Saturday 6th, February 2010

Valencia vs Valladolid - 12:00 AM EST

After the trip to Andalusia last week much has changed for the Murcielagos. They were experiencing a major winning streak and even hoped with taking the second position off Real Madrid's hands. But it was Sevilla's striker, Negredo, who judged Valencia was to suffer if they meant to reach the top. David Villa remained a shadow being absolutely disconnected with the midfield playing, and so now the top has again escaped from their hands and even qualification for the European competitions has become something to fight for.

With four out of the five closer followers to the Blaugrana facing each other, the tournament standings as we know them may cease to exist.

La Liga SpainLast week's match day 19 brought the end of the first half of La Liga, and the perspective at this point looks rather monistic. With an undefeated Barcelona experiencing the solitude of the top, Valencia has become the solid third alternative for the title.  But they'll be facing a direct rival to retain their position on a match against a newly recovered Luis Fabiano hungry for glory.

Sporting Gijón vs  Barcelona - 2:00 PM EST

Lionel Messi - FC Barcelona Last week triumph brought much to Blaugrana's fans. They've finally left the Real Madrid eight points below them, holding the top for at least three weeks more, but Messi also obtained the rank of Pichichi of the league, having scored his thirteenth goal to sentence the 3-0 against Valladolid. Not only that, Its been 19 matches for the Barcelona without tasting the bitterness of a defeat, consolidating the best streak in their history. With Dani Alves going through its best moment in the league (he made a goal and an assistance to get the 2-0 last week) the offensive capabilities of Pep Guardiola's team are something to fear. Last two matches away their returned home with five and three goals, respectively, and their own goal undefeated, and it's hard to imagine such a streak might change its course.

Sporting Gijon will have a test of fire against the Barcelona. They've lost their two last matches, and another week without points might take them to the lower half of the positions table. Last week they showed they could achieve victory, but their inconsistence rendered them hopeless. Team's coach Manuel Preciado, confessed its team lacked both luck and decision to obtain a victory, and such indetermination will be even stronger against the Barcelona, so he'll have to show its players a way to succeed if things are going to change this week. Watch Sporting vs Barcelona Live

It is match-day 12 in La Liga this weekend, and El Clásico is on, as second place FC Barcelona host leaders and archrivals Real Madrid at the Camp Nou.

El Clasico - a strong fight between Barcelona and Real MadridThe clash is regarded as the greatest football match of the year in Europe. Possibly, it is one of the hottest encounters in football ever, being regarded as the “War of the Stars”.

Quick Intro

Only a single point separate the two Spanish giants at the top of the Spanish League table, and Barcelona therefore face the danger of letting the gap expand to 4 good points, if ever they fail to get a victory against Real Madrid in Cataluña this Sunday.

The two sides’ meetings last season – both home and away – incontestably showed how strongly the Catalans were able to impose themselves over their long-time rivals; but with a highly reshuffled Real Madrid side this time around, things could be pretty different this weekend.
