Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona will receive this Tuesday to the Athletic of Madrid of the "Cholo" Simeone in the Camp Nou, with the will to achieve a victory that serve to frighten off the bad vibrations that left the triumph of the Real Madrid in the Barcelona sanctuary the past Saturday. The ones of Luis Enrique wish encarrilar the quarter-finals of UEFA Champions League 2015-16, and for this will have to obtain a good advantage that serve to travel next week to Vicente Calderón with the duties done, and with a mattress of security that avoid possible unexpected frights. And it is that the ones of the "Cholo", in spite of having some important drops, come of a goleada by 5-1 to the Real Betis in League BBVA and have increased the spirit during the last days, when seeing that the Barça is not invincible after the culés have seen broken his series of 39 consecutive parties without losing.

The ones of Simeone have put to six points of the FC Barcelona in League BBVA and think that, with effort and the usual sacrifice in all the parties that contest, will be able to put the difficult things to the Barça in the Camp Nou, where expects that they go out to "shut " by moments to try hurt to the counterattack. In the edict of Luis Enrique, Aleix Vidal has caused drop of last hour when having suffered in the last train a muscular injury that will separate him of the team during a week; whereas Mathieu, Sandro and Adriano follow without being available also by both injuries. In this coyuntura, Rafinha Alcántara will go in again in the announcement and could have minutes in the second half against the Athletic.

By part of the Athletic of Madrid, the "Cholo" Simeone himself will have to lidiar with a rosary of drops and doubts stood out in the alignment title: Giménez and Oliver Torres are low confirmed, whereas Savic, Godín, Tiago, Carrasco, Vietto and Jesús Gámez do not find in plenitud of physical conditions and arrive just to the party, by what any of them could remain was finally of the eleven. The wide staff of the group colchonero and the signings of winter Augusto and Kranevitter, however, could contribute something of stability to a team that, in spite of that had characterised by the fault of goal during the last months, seems that it arrives enrachado.

And it is that it fits to remember that the Athletic of Madrid classified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the batch of penaltis against the PSV Eindhoven, after two parties in which the marker remained to zero. The crash against the FC Barcelona will be with all probability the one of the best defence against the best attack of Europe, in a show futbolístico that again will generate a big entrance in the Camp Nou. "The public knows that we need him, and that his support in Champions is an indispensable factor", said Luis Enrique in press conference, leaving clear the importance of the fans this Tuesday so that his players raise the spirit and forget the Classical lost against the Real Madrid.

Jan Oblak will see the faces against Leo Messi that adds already 25 goals in 27 parties against the Athletic of Madrid, having converted to the colchoneros in his victim preferred beside the Seville. Neymar Jr, by his part, has marked in four distinct competitions to the rojiblancos, what gives faith that it will be difficult that the Barça remain without gunpowder against the Athletic in the Camp Nou. To this adds the statistical that the Barça of Luis Enrique has won to the Athletic in all the times that have confronted , and the data that the Barcelona is used to encarrilar all the eliminatory to double party that plays in the parties of gone, something that carries sucediendo from the past season.

The case is that, this Tuesday, the ones of Luis Enrique will follow to the his and will not have mercy of anybody. They will centre in the field strictly futbolístico against the Athletic, sabedores that the parties win in the field. Marc-André Ter Stegen will try to keep a day more than Champions League the goal to zero, whereas Felix Brych will be the referee commissioned to give order on the terrain of game. The Athletic will have to walk with eye, because the FC Barcelona is now a "animal injured". And when the best team of the world receives a hit anímico, usually the following rival is the one who finish paying the dishes broken. Because, as it said Cruyff: "Everything is mental".
