Team News
Barcelona
Malaga
- Jeremy Mathieu returns from suspension for the hosts, but Gerard Pique is still missing as a result of his Super Cup red card.
- Sergi Roberto is likely to fill in at right-back for the Blaugrana, with Dani Alves and Douglas out injured.
- Neymar should start after suffering from mumps, with the trident forming once more.
- No real changes are expected for the away side, with Javi Gracia set to keep things consistent.
- Ignacio Camacho is still absent in midfield, meaning that Fernando Tissone or Recio should partner Sergi Darder in midfield.
- Weligton is in contention after injury, but Marcos Angeleri and Raul Albentosa should retain their places.
Vermaelen really deserves this after his injury-hell last season
Decent match, 3 points.
Final Result = Barcelona 1-0 Kameni
@KlaasJanHuntelaar Kameni and the ref*
@JoeB91 correct sir!
Kameni is one hell of a keeper, had to make a mistake so Barca could score..
@mystic34x wasn't really a mistake, so much as a very well-taken opportunistic 2nd shot.
@mystic34x to be fair they should have had 2 penalties as well
@JoeB91 and Suarez goal was ruled out for a foul rather harshly I thought. some contact sure, but hugely exaggerated! the guy was tugging Suarez's shirt just before anyway.
@JoeB91 yep.. officials messed up on that part..
The great three ( Messi, Iniesta and Neymar ) with 18 dribbles ...
Glad to see Vermaelen playing good again. Great defender IMO.
Verminatooor !!!!! galazoo !!!!
Vermaelen! Well done, lad. You've given a great account of yourself two games in a row now. Great to see!
F@@king rafinha,,,,,Gay lover of Luiz Enrique.. :@ :@ :@
Neymar will be the man ...
it good to see thomas vermalen back on the pitch. He was injured all year around. He is like new signing this year so that not so bad. Plus assnal really conned barca selling them an injured player for huge fee. But Barca got benefit in the end though. They did not paid assnal 3 million add ons as vermalen did not even play a single game :D
@Ffaris Barcelona knew they were getting an injury prone player you muppet..
following the sky sports text updates and it seems like the officials are robbing Barca
@JoeB91 Debt of Karma I guess
Roberto starts at RB
Barca while at their strongest, used to have problem against Malaga. now that they're not yet on track... although being at home with MSN back and Juanmi transferred, there's more hope.
@HomaKP Malaga's forwards were never the problem for Barça. Juanmi made no real difference. It's all about their defence and tactics.
Forca Barca
Malaga could be a tough crack but then they are away team, so I guess Barca to win the match.... 3-1
Remuntada ! 4-0 for Barcelona (double for Leo Messi,Suarez and Rakitic).
Both and add one: MNS will score goals!!!
rocket-ic-ic-ic he's a wizard on the pitch-pitch-pitch
It's going to be pretty tough for both sides. Malaga may have the fastest scoring chances in the early minutes, which may lead to a goal. Barça will get back in the game and two or more goals will overshadow the malaga lead.
