March, an ideal month for Xavi's Barça

The FC Barcelona will begin the month of March visiting to the Elche next Sunday (16:15), in a month that can be very positive for the group directed by Xavi Hernández. The draw of the eighth of final of the Europe League offered a rival, in principle, affordable for the blaugranas, as it is the case of the Galatasaray. The culés initiate the eliminatory home the Thursday 10 March and close the key a week more atrde in Turkey. In the half of the continental parties the Catalans will have to receive to the Osasuna by the date 28 of LaLiga.

Barça and Galatasaray crossed for the last time in the first phase of groups of the Champions League 2002-03. The culés defeated to the Turkish 0-2 in Istanbul with goals of the Dutch Patrick Kluivert and the today seleccionador Spanish, Luis Enrique. In Catalonia, the directed by Louis go Gaal won 3-1 with so many of Dani García, Gerard and Geovanni. Today, the 'otomanos' occupy the place 12 of his league with hardly 35 points, to eight units of the places of descent.

Against Osasuna, the last party was on 12 December, 2-2 in Pamplona. The Barça advanced in the minute 12 with a goal of Nico González, but the venues empataron two minutes later by means of David García. Ez Abde Advanced to the culés in the minute 49 and 'Chimy' Ávila equalised the party to four minutes of the end, when it seemed that the Catalans had the triumph in the pocket. Three rivals in the horizon that do not live his best moment and that, line by line, clearly are inferior to the FC Barcelona​.

By LaLiga, the last 'Classical' against the Real Madrid was on 24 October. The 'merengues' defeated to a Barça that recently could discount in the last played of the party by means of Sergio 'Kun' Agüero (1-2), in which it would be the last so much of the career of the Argentinian, forced to withdraw by his cardiac problems. Ronald Koeman still was the technician culé. Later, the 'white' won to the blaugranas in Arabia (3-2) in extention by the semifinals of the Supercopa of Spain, in a party in where the group directed by Carlo Ancelotti played replegado to the against during 120 minutes.
