En its debut in Liga de Campeones, the Barça cannot as opposed to be allowed the minimum slip a Olympique in forma
The Barça recovers for its opening in Liga de Campeones 2007-08 to the best attack of the one than it can arrange at the moment. Recovered Lionel Messi of his annoyances, the Argentinean will return to the end of attack next to Ronaldinho de Assis and Thierry Henry.
After the 0-0 in Pamplona, second in three days of League, the preoccupation of the liking around the equipment has gone off because the slips have arrived as opposed to equipment that by potential is clearly inferior to the Barça. Still it has worried plus the lack of powder far from the Camp Nou then, in spite of the losses of Samuel Eto´o and Leo Messi, the potential of the equipment is very great.
Frank Rijkaard and his players have an excellent opportunity tonight to clear these doubts. He is more, are forced to settle them because they receive to the Olympique de Lyon in the Champions and they cannot commit the minimum error. In a so demanding competition and with a so complicated group, he is forced to gain the three parties of the Camp Nou not to have difficulties and to make sure a seat in the eighth end.
For that reason it is so important that Messi has arrived in time for the duel from tonight. The Argentinean has marked to two goals in his twelve appearances in Europe, last the specially important one because he was the one that the last year was worth the tie in field of the Werder Bremen in the final straight line of the encounter.
Their two companions of attack have expanded trajectories in Europe more. Ronaldinho in the last led to the Barça years in the continental competitions, specially until the success in the end of Paris of the 2006. And in the case of Henry, we spoke more of an artilleryman than credited with 42 so many in the Maxima competition.
The Barça will present/display another newness in the axis of the defense. Márquez returns to form a tandem until now unpublished next to Gaby Milito. Zambrotta and Abidal will follow in the bands. Rijkaard also will have to choose, once again, two of three to accompany to Touré in the average. In theory it touched the rotation to him to Deco and to play Xavi and Iniesta but does not seem easy that Rijkaard does without him in an European duel.
