The FC Barcelona will know this Friday to his rival in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Seven teams appear in the horizon, each one with a style of game that can adapt better or worse to the team culé. We analyse what rival suit them

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona achieved to impose his football in front of Paris Saint-Germain in the party of turn for, after suffering a hard goleada in Paris, give it back with grow in the Camp Nou. This six to one allowed to the culés make history and happen to the following round of the UEFA Champions League 2016-2017. There it will beat the copper with Real Madrid, Athletic of Madrid, Juventus of Turín, Bayern of Munich, ACE Monaco, Leicester City and Borussia Dortmund.

Seven rivals with different virtues and weak points that do to be more affordable or less for the group of Luis Enrique. Although the Barça already has showed other times that to be champion have to win to any one, from FCBN have wanted to analyse to these rivals according to his suitability and characteristic.

The difficulty of the very physical teams

  • ACE Monaco, the nightmare of Guardiola

The Barça already suffered with Paris Saint-Germain precisely by the characteristics that better define to this ACE Monaco. A centre of the very fighting field and aguerrido accompanied by a fast attack and with players of big quality like Bernardo Silva or Kyliam Mbappé. The second team more goleador of Europe does not finish to be a "perita in sweet" as it wants to sell .

In front of the Manchester City saw also the work of Fabinho in the centre of the field, appearing as or nrayo in attack and the medullary of the rival area. Another that went out in this duel was a Tiemoué Bakayoko that after centring his head, the football that carries inside has begun to flow. Like negative appearances, fits to stand out that they are a young team, with scarce experience in these lides. Also it is necessary to add that his trainer Leonardo Jardim has not bet by the rotations in what we carry of course and this can mermar to his in the second parts. 

  • Leicester City, the cenicienta poisoned

All the world aims to the team of Shakespeare like the favourite rival for this round of quarter-finals. However, the "foxes" have changed entirely of face after achieving the dismissal of Claudio Ranieri. After the exit of the Italian have gone back to be the same team aguerrido, that does not give by lost any balloon and that has a very dangerous attack. Nevertheless, Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and Okazaki are footballers of sobrada class that move very well in the defensive football and of counterattack by which bet.

If the Barça has to go to look for them in case to put underneath in the marker, will suffer. And it is that the English defend better that anybody and the title of the Premier League shows it. However, if they are they those that have to look for the party can suffer a lot to his backs. The fault of experience also in these quotas can weigh them. 

Big that bet by the ball

  • Bayern Of Munich, with the "touch" of Ancelotti

It gives the same that trainer direct them, the Bayern of Munich always is the Bayern of Munich. One of the teams that bigger have written in his DNA the word win and that always are competitive, pass that happen. More still if they have a cumulus of stars so big like the current. Besides, with Ancelotti have simplified the complicated game of Pep Guardiola but without leaving to bet by the showy football and of touch.

In the Bundesliga are a maza that hammers to his rivals and already is to ten points of the second. Robert Lewandowski is his main baza offensive, struggling in the triple and by behind Messi by the Boot of Gold. A solid defence formed by Boateng, Hummels, Praises and Lahm (although sometimes they appear Kimmich and Javi Martínez) joins to a centre of the field where stand out big players of quality like Douglas Coast, Kingsley Eat, Arturo Vidal, Thiago Alcántara, Arjen Robben... His weak spot could be the"bajón" that seem to be crossing Franck Ribery and the same Robben. Besides they are a team that suffers a lot if they remove him the ball and can not mark his tempi. 

  • Juventus Of Turín, with the word "vendetta" tatuada

Already they said it Paulo Dybala or Leonardo Bonucci: "we Want to to the Barça in chambers". The final of Berlin still escuece in a lot of members of the staff bianconera. A team that has gone growing in spite of having lost by the way to stars like Carlos Tévez, Álvaro Morata, Andrea Pirlo or Paul Pogba. In his place have reinforced with the same Dybala, Gonzalo Higuaín, Miralem Pjanic or Khedira, that are giving a level excelso.

The "Vecchia Signora" is an asleep giant regarding the European panorama, where does not achieve the maximum entorchado from twenty-one years ago. That is his main motivation but also his ballast, as the pressure could attack them. Sabedores Of his supremacy in the Italian football in the last polish, to the ones of the Piamonte only remains them go back to reign in Europe. They will treat it to do with a team that goes of less to more this course but also going through some irregularities of which, in case to touch him the Barça, the culés could take advantage of .

The mix of physicist and good game

  • Borussia Dortmund, with the aim to consolidate

The Borussia Dortmund always is, in the last times, this team that plays very well but that does not finish to be of the all competitive. Neither with Klopp neither with Tuchel has achieved to give this final step that carry him to heave the "orejona". The first brushed it, falling in the final four years ago in front of the Bayern. But this Dortmund current bases in the goals of a star like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and his best couple of dance in the person of Marco Reus.

The youngsters Ousmane Dembélé or Christian Pulisic are this class of footballers habilidosos and dangerous to which the fault of experience also can them weigh arrived the moment. They are the "phosphorite" a full team of athletes that bet by a football of touch and appeal but whose lunar finds in the defence. The lagoons left by the saga this course have penalised them in Bundesliga (are third) and have done them have to trace back in eighth in front of the Benfica after falling one to zero in Lisbon.

The "old " known" of the Spanish football

Confront to the Real Madrid would suppose him to the FC Barcelona contest two of the three titles that has at stake in little more than two weeks. In this time will play the gone and the turn of the chambers of Champions and the party in front of the corresponding whites to LaLiga. Three loaded parties of adrenaline and competitiveness that, except surprises, can decide by details. A bad night can leave to the culés struggling only by the Glass of Rey or all the contrary. 

Confronting to the merengues know that they will struggle with the capacity to compete that they carry in his genes, although they do not play of the all very to the football. This Madrid of Zidane has sinned a lot lately of this last, of fault of game and to have to play it everything to the epic and to the traced back to base to pump balloons to the area. Perhaps already they have the full contingent in these lides. But it does not be necessary to forget that up it has a trident formed by Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bleat that, after a disappointing season, will have to wake up some day. 

  • Athletic of Madrid, the memory of previous elimiantorias

True is that Gerard Hammered commissioned to remember that his already deleted to the ones of Simeone in the past semifinals of the Glass. Leaving clear that in eliminatory neither are infalibles. This yes, the capacity to suffer that have, joined to an electrical attack with Antoine Griezmann, Kevin Gameiro and Carrasco with his main bazas. Oblack Already is ready, as it left clear in the party of turn in front of the Leverkusen.

The lunar of the team of the "Cholo" this course is being the forcefulness, or rather the fault of this. This fault of forcefulness in the two areas, so much in defence as in attack, has left them out of the Glass of Rey and of the fight by the title of League, struggling at present by the fourth place. This yes, the twice that the culés have fallen in chambers in the last years have been with them, by what better treat to avoid them to these heights.
