The LFP have announced the kick off times for next weekend’s games. Barça’s game at Zaragoza has been set once again for 10pm on Saturday. This means the game will be televised live on Spanish TV, probably on La Sexta and TV3. Real Madrid will also play on Saturday kicking off their game at Betis […]

Not the best news for Barça today as the yellow card that Dani Alves received in Sevilla’s win at Recreativo has been overturned by our friends at the Real Federación Española de Fútbol. The card would have meant Alves missing Saturday’s clash with Barça; however, Sevilla’s appeal was successful.

Frank Rijkaard has named the eighteen players he has available for tomorrow’s match with Osasuna, with the exception of Sylvinho who has been left out.

Rijkaard will have to reorganize the defence due to Carles […]

The LFP have announced the kick off times for next weekend’s games. Barça will play Sevilla in the Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday 9th and the game will kick off at 10pm. This game will be shown live on Spanish TV on the La Sexta channel and on TV3 in Catalunya.

Frank Rijkaard has named his sixteen-man squad for tomorrow night’s Copa del Rey return match with Villarreal (kick off 10pm) and there is a return for Ronaldinho as well as for Rafa Marquez. Edmilson, Gudjohnsen, Oleguer and Sylvinho have all been left out for technical reasons.

A day later than usual, the LFP have announced the kick off times for next weekend’s games. Barça will play hosts to Osasuna on Sunday and the game will kick off at 7pm. Remember that the return game with Villarreal in the Copa Del Rey is on Thursday 31st January and kicks off at 10pm.

Barça travel to Bilbao without Rafa Marquez but Eric Abidal returns to the squad after missing Thursday’s Copa Del Rey match at Villarreal. Marquez has not recovered from a knock he received in that game but Valdés, Sylvinho, Deco, Milito and Xavi who missed training on Friday have all recovered in time. Carles Puyol is […]

With the usual lack of regard for the fans, the LFP have now agreed to Barça’s request to switch next weekend’s league game to Sunday 27th January with the kick off time set for 7pm local time. The problem arose thanks to the RFEF decision to set the date for the Copa Del Rey match […]

There is a return to the squad for Leo Messi and Oleguer Presas, while new signing Jose Manuel Pinto will start his first match on the bench as Victor Valdés’s understudy. Frank Rijkaard has stated that Messi is not ready to play 90 minutes so the Argentinian will most likely start as a substitute.
