After a year when Barcelona won everything there was for a club team to win people have started
wondering where the Blaugrana will go from here. This thinking has been compounded with Barca's
premature exit in the Spanish Copa del Rey earlier this week.
FC Barcelona surpirisingly lost the first leg of Copa Del Rey quarterfinals at home to an under
strength Sevilla side. FC Barcelona now face a near impossible task of winning the second leg away
from home with atleast two goals clear to proceed to the next game. Two matches into the new year,
Barca is still looking for their first win of the year.
Recreativo de Huelva and
Sevilla provided the cupsets of the round so far as they
both finished the first leg ahead of their supposed superior rivals. In yesterdays tie at the Camp
Nou,
Barcelona and Sevilla both had grounds for complaint regarding the performance of
referee
Alfonso Burrull as Bojan and
Diego Capel had goals incorrectly chalked off,
whereas the penalty awarded to Sevilla appeared to occur outside of the box.
[101gg] Most superstars have a "breakout game" or a "breakout moment". The one which says without a
shadow of a doubt, "this special boy has arrived". Sergio Canales, La Liga's favorite confusing

FC Barcelona will be looking to extend thei lead on top to eight points tonight and put immense
pressure on Real Madrid who will be playing Malaga tomorrow. Seydou Keita has returned to the 19
men squad announced by Guardiola - Valdés, Pinto, Alves, Cygrynskiy, Milito, Márquez, Puyol,
Piqué, Abidal, Maxwell, Jonathan, Xavi, Iniesta, Keita, Henry, Bojan, Pedro, Messi and
Ibrahimovic.
Chivas USA announced today its season opener against the Colorado Rapids has been switched from
Sunday, March 28 to Friday, March 26 at Home Depot Center.
The date was changed because Telefutura would not have televised Sunday's game anyway, due to
changes in its schedule and Chivas USA officials believe the game would be a bigger draw on a
Friday evening.
FC Barcelona will be back tonigh at the place where their dream run started. After begining the
last season in the worst possible way in ages, Barca got back to winning ways with a 6-1 thrashing
of Gijon at El Molinón. The senario for Barca in the League is different from their last visit.
