The best poster of the Spanish football Saturdays is undoubtedly the cracker between FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao at the Camp Nou. Both teams are not good in shape, but they must take points.
Barcelona
FC Barcelona is in the middle of the week its truth. The Catalans fight in a diptych against Atletico Madrid to the finals in the Copa del Rey, but can also no point losses afford in the battle for the Spanish championship.
Where FC Barcelona thanks to a handsome 1-2 victory in the first leg at the Vicente Calderon has excellent papers for the Copa del Rey, that is what the Catalans in la liga a lot less for the wind. Last weekend members of the Blaugrana last point loss at Real Betis 1-1. It is true that the Catalans saw drilled a flawless goal through the nose to be, but it is also true that the visitors had to crumble very little in the milk. FC Barcelona had point loss so completely to blame, as seen the game image even with a draw certainly not grumble. But the fact is that Real Madrid have won, and so again took away from FC Barcelona.
Luis Enrique has as yet not free from problems. Just like last week, he can also Saturday afternoon probably not appeal to the key players Busquets and Iniesta.

Although the home team managed a 0-1 deficit to bend in a 2-1 victory, but the red-whites play in recent weeks not nearly as convincing as in previous years.
So it all looks a bit shaky at Athletic Bilbao in the second half of the season will have to put out all the stops to win European football. Visiting course, however, little to lose at FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou have Los Leones. The last time the Basques in the Catalan football temple knew was to win in 2001, corresponding to a year in which most players are still sitting obediently at school. Copa del Rey Athletic Bilbao, however, explained the Catalan football giant already well fire on the shins. “That gives us confidence,” said all-rounder De Marcos. “Performing at the Camp Nou will be difficult, but we know what we can and go for the win.” Coach Ernesto can not count on first goalkeeper Kepa in any case, who is still on the sick list. The experienced Iraizoz hit this season lost his place under the bar, but now gets another chance to convince his coach of his qualities.
Probable lineup Athletic Bilbao
Iraizoz; Balenziaga, Laporte, Yeray, De Marcos; Benat, San Jose; Muniain, Raul Garcia, Williams; Aduriz
