The RCD Espanyol achieved what anybody had been able to do during this season: win to the FC Barcelona. Something that did not happen from the Supercopa of Spain, when the Real Madrid also attained it. This Thursday 25 January to the 21:30 in the Camp Nou, the Barcelona team will receive to the blanquiazules to contest the party of turn of the quarter-finals of the Glass of Rey. In the first round that took place in Cornellà-The Prat, the pericos imposed by the minimum with a goal of Melendo, by what to the team of Ernesto Valverde will touch him trace back if it wants his note for the semifinals.

The FC Barcelona will have to be attentive not to commit the same errors that in the meeting of gone. The group directed by the Txingurri did not find the necessary clairvoyance to generate so many occasions as of habit. In spite of that the Barcelona had the possession and dominated largely the party, can not say that they enjoyed of too many opportunities of goal. True is that they were missing big part of the headlines, something that will not occur in a party of turn in which Ernesto Valverde will go out with everything.

And it is that the technician extremeño has left it clear in the list of summoned. The Txingurri does not want surprises and has quoted to all the heavy weights. Even it has surprised summoning to Philippe Coutinho for the first time that, although it will not go out to title, will be a weapon more in case the things put ugly with the step of the minutes. Iniesta, that has recovered of his injury, is the another big news for the Barcelona. The manchego aims to title, something that threw in fault in the party of gone.  The Messi, Suárez and company will accompany him in a party in which the FC Barcelona trusts the traced back.

The Espanyol, motivated to give the chime

The Espanyol already showed in the meeting of gone that it takes his duels against the FC Barcelona with special intensity. From the president to the last reservation know that win him a derbi to the Barça is a hit on of the table and one of the big gifts that can award him to the fans, and more still if the pass to semifinals is at stake. The motivation of the staff will be maximum to protect the advantage obtained in the first meeting.

The blanquiazules very probably will go out to defend his result and will take advantage of the spaces to go out to the contragolpe with his powerful leading. Gerard Moreno, that carries 11 goals during the present season, is the big offensive banner of the team and one of the most lethal men, but also is necessary to be attentive to players like Sergio García, that could not be in the party of gone or Leo Baptistao, one of the threats by right band.
