The Real Madrid out of the semi-finals scenario in the
Champions League at the hands of Borussia Dortmund maximized the pressure on
his arch-rivals Barcelona before the other face of the German giant Bayern
Munich on Wednesday evening in the second leg semi-final of the European
Championship at the "Camp Nou" stronghold of the Catalans.
Real Madrid lost
against Dortmund 1-4 back then displayed a serial full of wasted opportunities
during the second leg on Tuesday evening and only win 2 - zero out of semi-finals
losing in the total score 3-4.
And the out royal
scenario formed a ghost which haunts Barcelona before facing Bayern forth
especially that Barcelona status looks worse after losing to Bayern zero -4
back at the "Allianz Arena" in Munich, it also shaped bell also at
risk for Bayern, where Real Madrid almost clinch a berth for not wasting
opportunities, especially in the first few minutes of the game.
There is no doubt
that confrontation held in Bernabeu on Tuesday evening constitute a factor in
the morale of the Barcelona players, especially since the development team
converged with the development of arch-rivals Real Madrid, but the task seems
more difficult.
Cristiano Ronaldo
failed in saving the Real "ship "; certainly will increase the
pressure on the rivals Argentina star Lionel Messi that Catalan audiences
attached their hopes in converting the scales and giving the team a chance to
qualify.
But Barcelona perhaps
derives some inspiration of what he achieved in the first knockout round championship
this season when they lost against AC Milan back then regained his balance and
converted the balances in the second leg to win 4 - zero and qualify to the quarter-finals winners lead to
4-2 overall.
May also Barcelona
derives enthusiasm from what compatriot Deportivo La Coruna achieved by in the
2003-2004 championship season when they lost against champions Milan 1-4 back
then won it 4 - zero forth to advance to the semifinals at that time winner
overall score 5-4.
Barcelona will play
the second leg which has nothing to lose after falling with four clean goals in
the first leg and now stands at the exit gate of the European Championship
which crowned her title twice in the last four years (and in 2009 and 2011).
Despite the difficult situation, Barcelona coach Tito
Vilanova showed a clear rejection of surrender and defeatism and showed great
confidence in achieving the miracle and exploitation support of the fans at the
Camp Nou stadium.
This was confirmed by Tito Vilanova Speaking of the upcoming
game, where he said that Barcelona team does not give up and will fight until
the end in order to extract e card to qualify for the final, but he was keen to
ease the pressure on his players and pointed out that the team upon to prospect
perform and will remain head held high even in the case Failure to qualify for
the final of the European scheduled at Wembley Stadium on May 25 next year.
Villanova revealed that he will not draw the team focus
fully during the game to score five goals against Bayern, but will seek to
create a balance between the two sides defensive and offensive in order to
avoid vibration of the Catalans nets, holding his hopes in the defensive side
on Gerard Pique, while stressing the absence of Javier Mascherano due to injury
and revealed that doubts still hovering about the possible participation of
Sergio Busquets.
And the star Messi showed clear interest in saving the team
from the fate of out-sufficiency in the current season title La Liga, which has
become Barcelona a few steps from clinching officially, where he spent a period
of comfort yesterday in gym for fitness to restore the maximum extent possible
before facing Bayern.
the last period has proved again how important Messi, which
his absence impacted clearly on the performance of Barca in the first leg
against Bayern, as it was for his participation in the 60th minute of match
against Athletic Bilbao effect is also clear where he restored Spirit offensive
team scored a goal and made another and saved the team from defeat and the game
ended in a 2-2 draw.
The defender Pique chose the task of motivating players as
well as fans, where he stressed the importance of holding the players with
confidence, stressing that Barcelona is the only team capable of converting of
the scales in a situation like this.
On the other side, the common denominator among the Bayern
players and Coach Juppe Hynix is the cautious and respect where the players of
the team await the Barcelona reaction after scratching his pride with the harsh
defeat in the first leg.
Hynix have expressed a great respect for Barcelona and he
was not in favor of Franz Beckenbauer, honorary president of Bayern, who said
that Barcelona will use "all legitimate and illegal ways " to win and
grab a berth, where Hynix confirmed that Barcelona is a model and an example of
the spirit of sports is still the best team in the world in terms of
possibilities and behaviors inside and outside the stadium.
Hynix said that the harsh defeat in the first leg broke the
dignity of Barcelona and he would do everything he could in order to
compensate, which is supported by Spain's Javi Martinez to Bayern and teammate
Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Mueller, who warned in particular of the
seriousness of the reaction Messi during the second leg.
And the basic configuration for each of the two teams during
the second leg is expected to come as follows:
Barcelona: Victor Valdes - Alves - Gerard Pique - Eric
Abidal - Adriano Korea - Xavi - Sergio Busquets - Andres Iniesta - Pedro -
Lionel Messi - Alexis Sanchez.
Bayern Munich: Manuel Neuer - Philipp Lahm - Boateng - Dante
- David Alava, - Concealer Martinez - Bastian Schweinsteiger - Arjen Robben -

In the end I give you the real support of Barcelona strength
