Barcelona plays Athletic Bilbao In Spanish cup finals today- A glimpes into How Barca will handle a smaller finals b4 the Bigger finals (UCL) A win here will Boost Barcelona players' Morale and seal Two tiltles B4 27th May UCL finals. Now who carries the day here? Copa del Rey Final Preview: Athletic Bilbao - Barcelona The two most successful clubs in Copa del Rey history will collide to determine who will become the 'kings' of the competition. But for both sides, there will be more important things at stake than simply going into the record books. Back Where They Belong Wednesday’s encounter will mark the first time Athletic Bilbao have played in a major cup final since 1985. That was the year they lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey, a year after beating Barcelona 1-0 to win this tournament for the 24th time. There’s still dispute over exactly how many Copas they have actually won. The LFP (Liga de Futbol Profesional) and the Spanish Football Federation only officially recognise 23 wins, as they won the inaugural 1902 trophy under a different name, Club Vizcaya. But the cup is on display in their trophy cabinet - and besides, it’s not a topic of debate you would want to bring up when in Basque territory.

First Step To The Treble Barcelona also have 24 Copa titles to their name but their 25th could be one of the most significant and memorable in the club’s history. If they triumph at the Mestalla, it will be their first piece of silverware in the much talked-about treble quest this season, after they failed to secure the Primera Division crown at the weekend following a 3-3 draw at home with Villarreal. That stumble, however, was seen as a blessing in disguise by coach Pep Guardiola and president Joan Laporta, as they both believed that the title celebrations would have taken the squad’s focus away from Wednesday’s final. But there’s no doubt that many cules would have loved to see their heroes wrap up La Liga at the very backyard of the Camp Nou and get at least one competition out of the way. Fatigue and injury woes are finally setting in for Guardiola and his charges, and his worst fears could yet come true. He has preached countless times to the press that no matter how much praise and plaudits they’ve earned, his side have yet to win any trophies. They have won only three times in their last eight outings, although over the past four weeks or so they have had to go through one of the toughest sequence of games any footballing team could possibly experience, including trips to Bayern Munich, Valencia, Real Madrid and, of course, Chelsea. The psychological importance of Wednesday’s final cannot be overlooked. If they falter against a fiery Athletic side, self-doubt could start to creep in to the minds of the players, not to mention the heightened pressure and criticism from the press in particular. Even though all that may not affect their Liga run-in, thanks to their sizeable cushion atop the standings, the excess baggage is not something they need to bring to the Champions League final showdown with Manchester United in two weeks’ time.

@switch!U have spoken well.the outcome of today's game would make the entire europe to reckon with pep guardiola and all the good job he has been doing since he took over.im waiting patiently to see what the starting line up would looks like,barca are going into this game with alot of injuries and fatigue and the same cannot be said of their opponent that are well prepared for this final,rested most of their key players in their last game,they are comfortable with their position on the table at the moment,many had speculated that they needed the trophy more than we do,they are really desperate to shock barca in this game and they threatening to be very physical on barca like chelsea.we have defeated them both home and away this season,the final could be a different ball game though,but i know we are winning.we will be missing iniesta and henry but im expecting hleb to make up for them on the left flank.i hope he will be able to prove his worth in this big game.ath.bilboa cant jeopardize our chances of winning treble this season,we are winning two trophy this week and claim CL from MAN in rome. with barca all things are possible, forza barssa |

SWITCH47 SAYS The Switch philosophy is----- Soccer is a Game, and games are primarily to entertain, especially the soccer loving Fans, Wacthing a beautiful game of soccer without the Nagative soccer mind set is next to nothing!! i saw this last Barcelona game and it made me HIGH!! E sweet my spirit. Pure entertainment like in the yoruba home video blockburster(Jenifa)!!!OUSHH!! and then when then,there fore, BARCELONA KAN Total football (1-4) Three years after Paris, Barça have once again won a major trophy. They came from behind to beat Athletic 4-1 and in doing so, gave a lesson in creative football. Total football is back! On Wednesday night, Mestalla witnessed FC Barcelona win the first trophy in a potential treble. The first is in the bag, the second is almost won, and the third will be decided in Rome. Nobody said it would be easy, but despite the missing players and the tiredness, Guardiola’s side has stayed faithful to their philosophy, and if they play like this on the night of May 27, then Manchester United will have a very difficult job indeed. Touré becomes Messi Oh my God!! Muki see stori Na 4 better 4 worse now o!! Barça’s pressure was causing more and more concern to Athletic, whose lines were pushed further and further back. Barça were evidently more composed, and got their reward on the half hour. The unexpected protagonist was Touré, playing today at centre back. In an individual move displaying both skill and strength the Ivorian advanced from midfield and slalomed around three defenders before sending a low, powerful drive straight into the bottom right hand corner of the goal, just beyond the reach of Bilbao stopper Gorka. The two goals were a reflection of the respective styles of the two teams, Bilbao scoring from a corner and showing their superiority in the air, while Barça’s was a display of sheer skill and flair. The sides went in at the break in very different moods. Barça’s goal had knocked the wind out of the Basques, while Barça could even have gone in as leaders if Alves’ well-taken long range free kick had hit the target. -----------------------------------------NO LONG THING READ THE REST ON-------- www.switch47..com http://www.fcbarcelona.com/web/english/futbol/temporada_08-09/arxiu_partits/copa_rei/final/jornada01/Athletic_Barcelona/partit.html
