Despite some rumours in the press Ronaldinho Gaucho has been included in the squad for tomorrow night’s game with Recreativo de Huelva.

Barça play Getafe tomorrow (kick off 8pm) with the hope that they can reproduce their good home form away from Camp Nou. Barça have won eight out of eight home games this season but have only won twice on their travels, at Stuttgart and at Levante. The only change to the squad is that Gianluca […]

Rangers have never played Barça at Camp Nou, but on the 24th of May 1972 they played there in the final of the Cup Winners Cup against Dynamo Moscow. A match has will always be remembered for the scenes after the game.

I couldn’t resist taking this photo from Marca. This is Sevilla’s first goal last night against Madrid, a superb 25 yard shot from Seydou Keita. In case you didn’t know Sevilla won 2-0. If Barça beat Betis this evening the gap at the top will be reduced to one point. Happy Sunday people.

Barça take on Real Betis Balompie at Camp Nou tomorrow with hopes of erasing memories of last season’s game. In that game in May, Betis scored a last minute equalizer that allowed Real Madrid to go top of the league, and Barça never recovered.

The José Zorrilla stadium plays host to a Valladolid-Barça game which is vital to both teams. Barça need to win to stay in sight of Real Madrid after their impressive 1-5 victory over Valencia last night, and Valladolid are desperate for points having slipped to second from bottom in the league.

Frank Rijkaard has included Toure Yaya, Gianluca Zambrotta and Rafa Marquez in the squad for tomorrow’s game at home to Almeria which kicks off at 7pm Spanish time (don’t forget to put your clocks back tonight).
