Barça Could Be Tested By Galatasaray Team With Familiar Faces
If the year was 2013, Barcelona would probably be meeting Galatasaray in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. That season the team from Istanbul was actually knocked out by Real Madrid in the quarterfinals, losing 5-3 on aggregate but beating Los Blancos 3-2 in Turkey. Barça, meanwhile, was knocked out in the semifinals by that […]
Barcelona vs. Napoli | Europa League Preview | Players to Watch
Barcelona hasn’t been in the Europa League (then called the UEFA Cup) since Xavi’s days as a young player.

Barcelona are in for a tough one on the road against Benfica. The Portuguese league leaders are flying high at the moment with 10 wins and 2 draws on the season. Barça, though, come in with the best feel-good moment of the season through Ansu Fati, who will likely feature off the bench.

Fresh Faces could write new chapter in El Clásico history
Last March, Vinicius Jr. scored his first goal against Barcelona in a 2-0 win. In October, Ansu Fati scored his first El Clásico goal in the 3-1 loss at the Camp Nou. There is a sense that those goals were only the first of many for those two in the match-up, and it’s unfortunate that […]

Barcelona look to avoid case of the Mondays against Huesca
Barcelona don’t often play on Mondays. That’s one of the benefits of being Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, or recently Atlético Madrid – weekends mean more eyes and there are more eyes on the giants, as unfair as it may be. That said, Barcelona should be the heavy favorites against Huesca regardless of the day of […]
Barcelona’s first of two meetings with Sevilla has major league ramifications
Facing off against Sevilla twice in the next five days makes the La Liga version of the match-up seem like the undercard, but that’s not necessarily the case. One could argue that the Copa de Rey is the trophy that is most likely, but a 2-0 deficit must be overturned first. In La Liga, Sevilla […]
Barcelona look to avoid second upset against Cádiz
After Barcelona fell 2-1 to Cádiz in the south of Spain in December, they found something that wasn’t there before and rattled off away win after away win in La Liga and the Copa del Rey. This time around Ronald Koeman may hope that this match against Cádiz is the first of that next string […]
