The FC Barcelona of Luis Enrique will have to measure to the Athletic of Madrid of the "Cholo" Simeone in the quarter-finals of Glass of Rey (21 January the gone and 28 the turn) after the two teams have happened his respective eliminatory against Elche and Real Madrid. The Barcelona group, that already imposed in the Camp Nou this past weekend to the "colchonero" (3-1) playing probably the best party of the season, broke a series of six consecutive parties (2 of Champions, 2 of League and 2 of Supercopa) without winning in front of the rojiblancos and will arrive to the eliminatory with the morals reestablished and a performance and style of game more intense and electrical during the last weeks.

Another point for of the Barça will be the physical wear that has supposed to the rojiblancos the two parties against the the Real Madrid, and that it could be key taking into account that Luis Enrique could allow this Thursday not summoning and give rest in the turn against the Elche to some of his important players, like the "magic" trident formed by Luis Suárez, Leo Messi and Neymar, in addition to other footballers like Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernández, that already will be recovered of his physical annoyances of face to the two meetings against the Athletic.

The Barça, in any case, faces the eliminatory with optimism basing in the last precedent of does only some days, but is conscious that it will have to spend all the cartridges and not to reserve at all against a team that the past course already showed to be for the time being between the best of Europe, and that is going back it to show this season to the orders of Simeone without some key pieces of the year happened like Thibaut Courtois, Diego Coast or Filipe Luis.

The Barça already knows what is to win to the Athletic this season

Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar turned off the fires of the week and signed a night for the memory in the Barcelona sanctuary.

With the mini-goleada obtained against the group rojiblanco, probably together with the Barça the best group in defence of all the competition, the barcelonismo went back to recover the illusion to struggle by all the possible titles and especially by a League of the most contested.
