Ronaldinho, Messi, Deco, Motta and Belletti have all been named in the squad to face Real Betis. Rijkaard also named Carles Puyol in his squad of 19 players despite a knock in midweek training:


Valdés, Jorquera, Iniesta, Van Bommel, Ezquerro, Gio, Puyol, Oleguer, Motta, Deco, Larsson, Gabri, Sylvinho, Belletti, Maxi, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Edmílson and Messi.


Rijkaard has almost all of his biggest stars available (only Xavi and Giuly are still missing because of injuries and Rafael Marquez because of yellow dard suspension) for Saturday's game with Betis. Messi and Deco have recovered from the injuries that kept them out of the game in Valencia, Ronaldinho has served his suspension and Motta returns after a meniscus operation on his right knee that has kept him sidelined for over a month.

Puyol and Belletti had been doubtful but both player´s names are included in Barca´s team member list.
