One of the biggest fixtures of UEFA Champions League matchday 1 is Newcastle United hosting FC Barcelona. It comes on Thursday night, and that gives the match a bit of a weirder feel.

Ticket sales for this weekend will be limited to the 16,151 members … [Read more...] about Barcelona Starting Lineup Prediction vs Valencia

Tomorrow night, we might see FC Barcelona put forth a starting lineup that contains both Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez.

FC Barcelona Starting Lineup Prediction at Valladolid
At this point in the season, the Saturday trip to Valladolid is as close to dead rubber as a match can be for FC Barcelona. Having to settle for a draw, in the home leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie with Inter, is not a good thing. Now Barca heads to the road leg with no advantage on aggregate. But at least the La Liga match sandwiched in between is as easy … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting Lineup Prediction at Valladolid
