Calendar of FC Barcelona

This Wednesday contests in the Camp Nou one of these meetings that give to the fan a show that few times can see in the sport king. FC Barcleona And Manchester City beat the copper in a duel by the European supremacy where can remain "cleared" the one who will be the first of the group C of this UEFA Champions League 2016-2017. Two teams that, instead, arrive in situations totally different. While the Barcelona golearon to the Sportive of the Coruña in the last find suspender belt, the "citizens" added another tie in front of the Everton (1-1) and accumulate three meetings followed without knowing the victory.

But this is secondary since in a crash like this there are not previous parties neither series that cost for nothing. Two of the best staff of the continent confront face to face without any drop to stand out, except the one of Sagna by part visitor. Therefore, Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola will be able to "throw" of his respective eleven of gala to offer him to the viewer that can have the immense luck to be in the Camp Nou, or in lower measure to the that see it from house, one of these magic duels and electrizantes that all European night that precie accustoms to offer. The main bazas of each team are available and smart to be headlines, by what Leo Messi and Kevin of Bruyne will lead to his respective teams in the battle.

The Argentinian star will go back to reencontrarse with his mates of arms. Neymar Júnior And Luis Suárez will escort to the rosarino and will be in the main danger of the Barcelona. Also they will go back to leave proof that this Barça of the "bajitos" in which the centre of machines was the fundamental piece when Guardiola was to the control, has evolved to the interminable symphony of the Three Tenors that Luis Enrique fine-tunes from the footpath. Also it has been able to recover the míster Asturian to his two sides titled, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto. Roberto of the that Pep said in his times like míster culé that played well there where put him. As what will think now that it is lateral right headline and doing forget to Dani Alves...

The City of Pep, with the aim to win the possession

Pep Guardiola will be able to go out with his eleven headline to exception of the already commented drop of Sagna. It will be Pablo Zabaleta the one who occupy his place in the right-handed side of the English team. A Zabaleta that in press conference, in addition to leaving clear that the team has improved a lot with his current technician, gave the recipe to win to the Barça: steal him the ball. That is one of the obsessions of Pep whenever it confronts to the culés as like this it showed it in the eliminatory with the Bayern of Munich does two seasons. And by the words of Pablo seems that like this it will be again. And for this will have the invaluable help of Fernandinho in the centre of the field.

This and a line of pressure asfixiante that will do that Otamendi and John Stones have to assume a lot of risks in front of the most lethal forward of the world. Here it can be the key, in that the Barça can surpass this first line of pressure and launch fast contragolpes to the back of the two defenders. Something that also will look for the City that with Of Bruyne, Nolito and Agüero of another thing no, but of rapidity has more than enough. This and a lot of luck will need the visitors to be able to break his bad series in front of the blaugranas. Four parties and four defeats until the moment in the Champions protect them although the script, in this occasion, is different. This Wednesday the two are favourite in what it will be a crash of styles very alike, a true battle between giants.
