One of the most awaited La Liga fixtures till date this season between Barcelona and Valencia has been shifted to Saturday now with the kick off scheduled at 22:00 CET at the Mestalla.

Playing Almeria at the Camp Nou was not expected to be the toughest game Barca was going to play this season up till now but that it what it turned out to be. No one was expecting a scrappy game at home and we were supposed to have repeated our last year’s performance when we thrashed them 5-0 at home. We had to rely on one moment of magic from our latest Cantera product, Pedro to seal the game. This win also puts the current team in the record books as they equalled the best ever start to La Liga with 6 wins out of 6.

Kick Off: Saturday, October 3, 20:00 CET
Camp Nou, Barcelona

So we are into week 6 of La Liga and the Top of the Table has a very familiar look to it as Barcelona and Real Madrid are head to head in terms of points and goals scored. This week features us playing Almeria at home where as Madrid face a difficult trip up at Sevilla. Ronaldo is reported to be put of that fixture with an ankle injury and the fact that Madrid play after Barca’s game, will add to further importance to the fixture. However one thing Pep Guardiola is warning everyone about is Complacency. Full Match Preview follows:

Kick Off: Saturday, September 26, 19:00 CET
La Rosaleda, Malaga

The fortunes of Barcelona and Malaga could not have been more contrasting coming into Week 5 of La Liga. Malaga has lost their last 3 games. Barcelona on the other hand has swept away the 4 teams before them scoring 14 Goals on the way. La Rosaleda is an arena that will be fondly remembered by Barça from last season because it was there that Pep Guardiola’s side chalked up a convincing 1-4 win to move to the top of the table for the first time. Last November the team ignored the pouring rain and difficult conditions to overwhelm their Andalucian host to move into first place and they remained their for the rest of the campaign.

La Liga. 4 Games. 4 Victories. 14 Goals. I think it says it all. Barcelona waltzed to another superb victory against Racing Santander at El Sardinero as Ibra, Messi(2) and Gerad Pique found the back of the net. Barcelona were comfortably up by 3 goals by the time half time, a half that saw total domination on our part. We had discussed the vulnerable Racing defense in our Match Review and all of their fears came true. This victory will surely put a lot of pressure on the chasing pack especially Madrid who have a tricky encounter against Villareal tonight where Manuel Pellegrini faces his old side for the first time.

Matches are coming in thick and fast for the Blaugrana right now! After the demolition of Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou on Saturday night, Barcelona now travel to El Sardinero to face Racing Santander. Racing to their credit were one of the few clubs last year to take points away from Barcelona as they drew 1-1 at home but going down 2-1 after the lead at Camp Nou. Messi that night had come of the bench to grab a brace and win the game for us. Now he would surely be looking for a repeat performance from the weekend when he scored a brace against Atletico.
