After two league games and an annoying break for international games, Barça now face the big test of seven games in three weeks after which we should have a much clearer idea of how things are going to be this season. The first game is this Sunday at 9pm against Osasuna in the Reyno de Navarra stadium.
Barça then face three games at home starting with the Champions League clash with Lyon on Wednesday 19th. Sevilla then visit Camp Nou the following weekend, the day and kick off time have yet to be confirmed. The following week sees a mid-week league game when Zaragoza are the visitors. You can still win tickets to this game by going to http://fcbnews.com/win-free-tickets-to-the-barcelona-vs-real-zaragoza-game/and answering the question.
Barça have an away game against Levante the weekend of 29/30 September, and then on Tuesday 2nd October travel to Germany for the Champions League match against Stuttgart. Then on the 6/7th October Barça play hosts to Atletico Madrid.
Two things have annoyed me while writing this. First, why are Barça playing this weekend at 9pm on a Sunday when they have a Champions League match on Wednesday? All the English clubs in this season’s Champions League are playing on Saturday this weekend. When will the Spanish FA get together with the TV companies to organize this in a manner that is more supportive of Spanish clubs playing in Europe?
Secondly, why are the dates and times of Spanish La Liga games not confirmed earlier. If you want to plan ahead, this makes it extremely difficult if you don’t know on which day your team is playing. In England, once more, the kick off times have already been agreed on and fixed right up to the end of November. So, while I can see that West Ham play Tottenham on Sunday November 25th and kick off is at 1.30pm, I cannot tell you the kick off time for Barça’s next home league match. Resolving this problem can only be beneficial to the clubs and the supporters alike.
