Let's go for the 17th!! The show must go on!!
arty:
Athletic come in one of their worst moments of the last years. The Basques are fighting to avoid relegation and, even though they play better since Clemente took the job, the results aren't totally good. This season they're extremely poor in defense, Aranzubia seems a shadow of himself, Yeste and Iraola aren't showing their best football, Urzaiz misses more chances than ever and, in that state of desperation, Aduritz, who was rejected some years ago, came back to Bilbao as a kind of saviour.
Barcelona reach this game after a historical winning run of 16 games won in a row, which is the best mark ever in Spain, beating Di Stéfano's Madrid record. This is the last game of Eto'o before losing our main striker for almost a month. We also have the known missing of Xavi. Although there are some players with physical problems, in theory, everyone should be ready against Athletic.
In any case, independently of our results and their form, Barcelona must respect Athletic, a club with pride, the only one that never went to Segunda with the 2 bigs. They can be in low moments, but the talent is there and Clemente, aside all his bad reputation, is a coach that usually gives results. The key is to be motivated once more and things should work.
VISCA EL BARÇA! :stuckup:
