Will there be a German shock in Catalunya?

Confidence Galore

Barcelona haven't looked as good or generally efficient as they were in 2008-09 but Pep Guardiola's side still remain arguably the best club team in the world. This campaign the Blaugrana have stuttered at times and have been unconvincing on some occasions but they still remain the team to beat in the Champions League.

At the moment Barcelona are second in the Spanish Primera Division, having garnered 65 points from 26 matches. The Blaugrana are level on points with arch rivals Real Madrid at the top but have an inferior goal difference. On Sunday evening the defending Spanish and European champions struggled in the first half against Valencia in a crucial league fixture at Camp Nou. They recovered marvellously in the second session to win 3-0, thanks to a breathtaking Lionel Messi hat-trick, the first goal being a genuine contender for goal of the season.

However, Barcelona shouldn't get too complacent as they take on Stuttgart at home on Wednesday evening. The Blaugrana actually struggled in the first leg in Germany and were lucky to have come home with a 1-1 draw. The scoreline would have looked rather untidy for the Catalans had Stuttgart taken the chances that fell their way, especially in the first half. Last season at a similar stage Barca drew 1-1 with Lyon away and defeated them 5-2 at home in the return leg. So Pep Guardiola's side will be confident of achieving a similar result and actually that away goal does put the hosts in the driving seat for this tie.

Redeeming Themselves


Stuttgart started the 2009-10 campaign in disastrous fashion as, under the charge of Markus Babbel, die Schwaben won just twice of their opening 15 matches in the German Bundesliga. But since the appointment of Christian Gross, the German side have improved superbly and are currently ninth in the table with 35 points from 26 matches.

Moreover, Stuttgart have regained their confidence in the Champions League and in spite of only just managing qualification for the knockout stages from a rather weak group, they have started to play some good, organised football. Stuttgart held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie three weeks ago, but they should know that had they taken the plethora of chances that fell their way, they could have actually won the game.

However, Stuttgart will be confident of creating a shock at Camp Nou on Wednesday evening. Most people are writing them off as Barcelona do have a formidable home record, but die Roten have not lost on their travels in Europe this campaign. Also, as they demonstrated in the first leg, they do have a good organised attack line that can destabilise a rather nervy Barcelona defensive unit.


TEAM NEWS

Barcelona


Thierry Henry has returned to action as he featured against Valencia at the weekend and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will also be back for Wednesday's encounter after missing out on the weekend game due to suspension. Eric Abidal is training once more but Maxwell is likely to stay on as the left-back for Barcelona.

Probable Line-up (4-3-3): Valdes, Alves, Puyol, Pique, Maxwell; Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Ibrahimovic, Henry

Stuttgart

The Germans will have central defender Matthieu Delpierre back while Stefano Celozzi has returned to full training following illness.

Probable Line-up (4-4-2): Lehmann; Celozzi, Tasci, Delpierre, Molinaro; Gebhart, Kuzmanovic, Khedira, Hleb; Cacau, Pogrebnyak



PLAYERS TO WATCH

Lionel Messi (Barcelona)

Messi scored a sensational hat-trick against Valencia on Sunday evening and now has 22 goals and nine assists in 23 matches in the Spanish Primera Division. The 22-year-old Argentine international also has struck twice in the Champions League and he will be Stuttgart's main headache on Wednesday night. There is a sneaking suspicion that Barcelona's midfield and attacking players have not been as potent as they were last campaign, and indeed it has been reflected in some of the performances of the Blaugrana. However, when it comes to Messi, he still remains the best and most talented player in the world and his movements and genius down the right will be crucial for the hosts.

Cacau (Stuttgart)

The Brazilian was in sensational form the last time the two sides met as he scored the opener against Barcelona and had a couple of very good chances. The 28-year-old has been a revelation in the Bundesliga this campaign and has been among the goals. Barcelona's defence hasn't really been good this time around and they have been showing a few cracks at the back. The likes of Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique will have to devote some special attention to the Brazilian's movement in and around the penalty area.

So who proceed to the Q/F
FCB 4 Sure "Prediction 3-0

Xavi Out Of Barcelona's Champions League Clash With VfB Stuttgart sad

Barcelona's injury headache has returned ahead of their crucial second leg clash with VfB Stuttgart in the Champions League last 16.

According to El Mundo Deportivo, influential playmaker Xavi has been ruled out of the tie against the German outfit after picking up a thigh injury during training on Tuesday.

The club have yet to confirm the injury but it is suspected that the 30-year-old could be out of action for around 10 to 15 days.

Coach Pep Guardiola will now have to decide how to line up his midfield against Stuttgart as Seydou Keita has yet to be confirmed fully fit at the end of Tuesday's workout session eventhough he managed to train with the rest of the squad.

Barcelona and Stuttgart are locked at 1-1 after the first leg encounter in Germany three weeks ago.

Lionel Messi Biography

Lionel Messi (born 24 June 1987 in Rosario) is an exciting Argentine soccer player, who currently plays as a second striker for FC Barcelona. He has shown remarkable ability for a player so young, and is often touted in the media as "the new Diego Maradona".

On December of that year, the Italian newspaper Tuttosport awarded him the Golden Boy 2005 title for the best under-21 player in Europe, ahead of Wayne Rooney and Lukas Podolski.

Lionel Messi & barcelona


Lionel Messi started playing football at a very early age for his hometown club, Newell's Old Boys. From the age of 11, he suffered from a hormone deficiency and as his parents were unable to pay for treatment in Argentina, they decided to move to Barcelona, Spain. Shortly after arriving, Lionel tried his luck with a trial at FC Barcelona, despite being only 13 years of age. He excelled at the trial and rapidly found himself starting for the Barcelona B team, averaging more than a goal per game.

In October 2004 Messi made his official debut for the first team against RCD Espanyol, becoming the third-youngest player to ever play for FC Barcelona. He scored his first senior goal for the club against Albacete on 2005-05-01.

On 2005-06-27 FC Barcelona renewed his contract until 2010, establishing a selling clause of €150 million.

Messi obtained Spanish citizenship on September 25 and was finally able to make his debut in this season's Spanish First Division. He had previously been unable to play because FC Barcelona had filled their quota of non-EU players. Messi's first outing in the UEFA Champions League at the Nou Camp was on September 28 against the Italian club Udinese. He impressed with some great passing and a seemingly telepathic relationship with Ronaldinho that earned him a standing ovation from the 70,000-odd Nou Camp faithful.

Lionel Messi & Argentina

Lionel Messi was offered the chance to play for the Spanish national football team, but declined, preferring to wait for the opportunity to play for the country of his birth. In June 2004 he got his chance, playing in an under-20 friendly match against Paraguay.

In June 2005 Messi starred for the Argentina U-20 team that won the Football World Youth Championship in The Netherlands, picking up the Golden Boot as top scorer with 6 goals, and the Golden Ball for the best player of the tournament. Despite his youth, Lionel was already being compared to Diego Maradona, one of the greatest football players of all time.

On August 4, José Pekerman called him up to the senior Argentine national team. He made his debut against Hungary — coincientally the very same side that Maradona debuted against for Argentina. However, he only played for three minutes of the game, being shown a red card and making him leave the field in his first attempt on goal.
