FC Barcelona face busy month ahead
WWW.FCBARCELONA.COM
One of Barça’s declared objectives at the start of the season was to get to this point of the campaign with options in all three competitions and Luis Enrique’s side face the month of March with their hopes very much intact – ahead after first leg wins in their Champions League tie against Manchester City and the Spanish Cup semi-final with Villarreal and with leaders Real Madrid due at the Camp Nou, still challenging for La Liga.
Two second legs
Barça will play five games between March 5th and 22nd - over half as many as in January, when they played eight– with all of them looking like crunch matches. On Wednesday March 4th, the team travel to Villarreal for the second leg of the Spanish Cup semi-final, following the 3-1 win in the first leg, with the visit of Manchester City a couple of weeks later on 18th, as Luis Enrique’s men aim to book a place in the quarter finals following the 1-2 win in England
Madrid visit Camp Nou
Barça will also have three league games to deal with – facing Rayo on 8th and Eibar on 15th, before the big one – Real Madrid’s visit to the Camp Nou on March 22nd at 9.00 pm (CET).
