The Barça, with the same justification that the Real Madrid

In this sense, the FC Barcelona has put to the same height that the Real Madrid this Monday when leaving to his players nominated in Barcelona, but this does not want to say that sources of the surroundings of the Real Madrid have licence to criticise it. Of the contrary, will be hipócritas.

The Barça, besides, yes is true that needs to prepare the best possible the turn of eighth of Glass of the King against the Athletic, taking into account that it is forced to win in the Camp Nou to happen of round. The last feelings of the team, besides, are not good.
