RCD Mallorca - FC Barcelona
San Moix, Mallorca


The Champions have a 10-point lead in La Liga and I don't expect this margin to diminish. Mallorca has waited for a win at home since the 26th of October, so why should they win against the Champions? Sunday evening will show that Barca is back on track to defend the title. The team has shown tremendous character and I believe in all of the players. Valencia, Osasuna and of course, Real Madrid are hoping that Barça will lose some points, but feel I can safely calm Barca-Fans down: It will not happen!


We are without Super-Striker Eto´o, who is scoring his goals at the African Nations Cup (4 goals in 2 matches). Not to worry, as Deco is back from red card suspension and we still have Puyol and Giuly (both had been rested against Zaragoza), so the Palma-Outfit should not cause too much trouble.

Força Barca!


FC Barcelona (4-3-3): Valdés - Oleguer, Marquez, Puyol, Sylvinho (or Gio) - Van Bommel, Edmilson, Iniesta - Messi (or Giuly), Larsson, Ronaldinho
