Guardiola proud of the team

Anna Segura

The Barca boss was very satisfied with his team's performance against Inter on Tuesday night and whilst he admitted to having worried about the absences of Ibra and Messi, he claimed he always knew his team “would respond”.

Barca showed last season when they took the treble that key to their success was the strong squad Guardiola could call on and against Tuesday, with two of his biggest stars unable to do more than start on the bench, the manager again showed the strength in depth of the squad.

Worried, but confident

Guardiola admitted that with Ibra and Messi on the pitch the team is more dangerous, but reckoned he knew: “that there was a risk of losing them for an even longer period if they played - if they weren't out there it was because they just couldn't make it”. Even so, the boss was. “confident that the players i sent out would respond”.

True to their style of play

2009-11-24_FCB_-_INTER_DE_MILAN_004.jpgOne of the team's defining characteristics has proved to be their commitment to attacking football and Guardiola agreed: “there's a risk involved in playing so high up the pitch”, particularly with players like Milito and Eto' playing off the shoulders of the defenders, but that's the way Barca play and the boss expressed himself: “very satisfied. The players deserved that”,

Thankful to Messi and Ibra

Although finally they were not called on, Guardiola also praised Messi and Ibrahimovic for: “their willingness and their desire to play a part tonight. They put in a lot of effort”. As to Messi's chances of starting on Sunday against Madrid, Guardiola revealed: “I'm optimistic – if there's any chance, he'll be there”.

Finish off the job in Kiev

2009-11-24_PARTIDO_13.JPGBarca now lead Group F with 8 points and are well placed to make the next round of the Champions. Guardiola is well aware of the next step and commented: “we've taken a big step, now we have to finish it off in Kiev”.

Piqué quietly confident

www.fcbarcelona.cat

Speaking after the valuable win against Inter Milan, Gerard Piqué assured the fans that the players are now focussed on the weekend’s game against Real Madrid.

The Barça defender, who scored the opening goal against Inter Milan, featured in the Barça TV programme ‘El Marcador’ after Tuesday night’s match. After describing the match in some detail, he went on to discuss the upcoming classic against Real Madrid.

“Caution and respect”

2009-11-24_FCB_-_INTER_DE_MILAN_003.jpgHe emphasised that the players are keeping their feet firmly on the ground: “We have caution and respect for the opponent. They’re league leaders”. Piqué, who scored the fifth of Barça’s six goals against Real Madrid in the Bernabéu last season, told us that the players are in no need of any special encouragement: “We don’t need to be motivated because each of us will take to the pitch highly motivated".

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo may get his first taste of the Camp Nou in a Real Madrid shirt. Gerard Piqué told us: “Everybody, not just we players, wants to see the best players. Cristiano is one of the best and I’m sure he’ll play".

As for the match against Inter Milan, the Barça defender is especially pleased with the win: ”The team has taken an important step and though it’s not guaranteed, qualification for the last 16 is almost in the bag”.

Confidence in the squad

2009-11-24_FCB_-_INTER_DE_MILAN_002.jpgOn Tuesday, the team showed that they can play well even without players such as Messi and Ibrahimovic: “Within the squad, we know that the players that take to the pitch can win matches. We have confidence in ourselves and the debate about whether the squad is too small wasn’t a debate we had. Within the squad we felt good about the match before kick-off. Obviously, the fact that we won so well without two of our star players makes us stronger”.

Third goal of the season

Piqué scored the first goal of the evening against Inter – his third of the season: “I score when I can because a defender can’t choose when he scores. Last year I had a lot of chances but for one reason or another they didn’t go in. In contrast, this season I’m having a lot more luck and thanks to dead ball moves, something we practised a lot before the match, I’ve been able to help the team. Thanks to these planned moves I’m scoring more goals”.

Abidal agrees new deal with Club

www.fcbarcelona.cat

French international fullback Eric Abidal has agreed a contract extension with Barça. The new deal lasts until 2010 and retains a 90 million euro buyout clause.

Éric Abidal will remain with FC Barcelona until 30th June 2012, at least. On Wednesday, he extended and improved his current deal which lasted until 2011. His buyout clause has been kept at 90 million euros.

Present at the signing ceremony were Club president Joan Laporta, vice-president for sport Rafael Yuste, general manager Joan Oliver, technical secretary Txiki Begiristain and director of football, Raül Sanllehí.

A guarantee on the left

2009-11-25_FIRMA_ABIDAL_03.JPGAbidal joined Barça in the summer of 2007 and since then has become a regular at left back. He stands out for his physical strength but is also technically gifted. He has shared the position with Sylvinho and now Maxwell. In addition he has a good understanding with right back Alves. He played a key role in the last season’s treble-winning team but missed the Kings Cup and Champions League finals through suspension.

Contract extensions

fcb-inter_x74x.JPGÉric Abidal’s extended contract deal is the sixth signed by the Club over the past five months. Before Abidal, the Club negotiated deals with Touré, Valdés, Pedro, Messi and Puyol. Five players vital to the present and future of the Club.

Henry reaches his century

Anna Segura

Tuesday's game against Inter marked Thierry Henry's 100th appearance for Barca since he signed in the summer of 2007. During that time the French striker has notched up 46 goals.

2009-11-24_FCB_-_INTER_DE_MILAN_018.jpgA few days ago it was Bojan Krkic who made it 100 appearances and this Tuesday it was Henry's turn, fittingly marking his century in an important Champions League tie.

Debut in 2007

Thierry made his official debut for the club on 26th August 2007 coming off the bench in the opening game of the 2007/08 league season against Racing Santander which ended rather disappointingly in a goalless draw.

47 games in first season

110809_Henry_recuperacix.jpgIn that first season at the club, Henry made 47 official games under Frank Rijkaard -30 in la Lliga, 10 in the Champions League and 7 in the Spanish Cup, scoring a total of 19 goals in all.

Key part of Treble winners

QM3D6838.jpgIt was the next season that Henry wrote his name in the history of the club as a key part of the treble winning all conquering team. Although he missed the end of the league season with injury he was available for the Rome Final against Manchester United and finally won his first Champions League winners medal. In 40 games in the 2008/09 season he scored 25 goals.

Goals

Thierry Henry's first goal for the club came on 19th September 2007 against Olympic Lyon in the Champions League and since then he's gone on to bag 45 more, averaging 2.17 goals a game in a Barca shirt.

hey fellas, the game is going to end 2-1 in favour of inter milan. Why? Barca is without messi and possibly ibracadabra. please note that ibra has never been the man for big occasions, rather messi is and so is thierry henry in a way. This game is gonna be difficult. Barca play beautiful football, while inter play defensive and can be deadly in counter attacks. Inter is supermotivated cos they won their last league game which gives them confidence. secondly, inter have less injuries and with a tactical coach that has seen it all in CL. Barca made a grave mistake by selling Eto'o. Ibra is doing well cos even you the reader will do well considering the likes of xavi, iniesta and messi, goalscoring becomes easier. Eto'o is not scoring that much cos he has to work for the goals himself and score most of the time. Interestingly eto is doing well in inter, setting up goals for others. I appreciate both clubs a lot but to be objective without sentiments to inter(as a nerrazzuri), inter is winning 2-1. I need someone to counter this submission.

Messi and Ibra train at the Nou Camp

www.fcbarcelona.cat

Messi and Ibrahimovic trained with the rest of the squad at the Nou Camp on Monday night and form part of the 19-man squad for the game.

Barca had a 15-minute open training session at the Nou Camp before the whole squad moved onto the Hotel Florida where they will stay the night and remain up until just before kick off time.The injured Abidal, Touré and Milito,as well as the cup tied Chygrinskiy, were the only players not on the bus to the hotel.

Guardiola sweats on Ibra and Messi

2009-11-23_ENTRENO_18.jpgLeo Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic came out onto the pitch after the rest of the players and both trained apart from the rest of the group. Both have niggling injuries and their presence in the starting line up will be in doubt until Tuesday - Guardiola insisting that he'll not choose whether to play them until the last moment.

Márquez Okay

On the plus side, Rafa Marquez trained with the rest of the players after having missed the trip to Bilbao at the weekend. It's been confirmed that he doesn't have swine flu and was able to rejoin the full squad for training.

Abidal back with squad on Tuesday

Both Touré and Abidal do have swine flu, though the Frenchman is likely to join the rest of the squad for Tuesday lunchtime training once his isolation period is over.

Two youngsters

The two youngster who were called into the squad for the Bilbao game -Andreu Fontàs and Jonathan dos Santos are again in the squad for the Inter Milan match.

To be honest I don't want us to risk Messi. I'll rather risk an early exit from the CL than a long term Messi injury. We just won five trophies so ending up with one or two this season won't exactly be a disaster. Sometimes we just have to be careful how we deal with these types of situations.

Milito warns not to mess with Messi

Diego Milito might prefer Lionel Messi to take no risks with his groin injury this week and to miss FC Barcelona's enthralling Matchday 5 meeting with FC Internazionale Milano, noting that his Argentina team-mate is "the best, most decisive player in the world".

Quick recovery
The Inter striker knows Messi well from their time together with Argentina, and is well aware of the damage he can do in the UEFA Champions League. Barça's main man picked up a minor groin strain in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Athletic Club Bilbao and his presence in what could be a decisive Group F meeting will remain in doubt until kick-off. Milito wishes Messi a quick recovery but knows that his participation or absence could be a deciding factor.

'Extraordinary'
"Without a doubt Messi is the best, most decisive player in the world," argued the Inter striker, who has scored nine goals in thirteen matches in all competitions this season. "Leo can win a game on his own at any moment because he's extraordinary. Playing with him every weekend must be a joy. I know because I've had the pleasure of training and playing with him for our country. I know him very well and know exactly what he's capable of."

Injury agony
Setting aside the importance of the meeting, and the fact that Inter were beaten 3-0 the last time the two sides played in the UEFA Champions League at Camp Nou, Milito knows exactly why Messi looked so downcast and upset when he came off the pitch in Bilbao on Saturday night. Messi has already had two UEFA Champions League campaigns wrecked by similar injuries, in 2005/06 and 2007/08, missing Barça lifting the trophy at the Stade de France in the former year after their 2-1 defeat of Arsenal FC. "Leo has had to complete the transition from boy to man very quickly and so much has happened to him already – particularly bad injuries," said the 30-year-old. "At Barça they protect him very intelligently but Leo has also overcome his difficulties in a very mature way."

Goal record
Whether or not Barça's No10 makes the showdown, the balance of power in Group F – where leaders Inter are separated from fourth-placed FC Dynamo Kyiv by only two points – will change dramatically if either José Mourinho's or Josep Guardiola's team can carve out a win. Milito may be the key man. "I'm lucky enough to have done well against Barça during my time with Real Zaragoza," he recalled. "They are an interesting opponent who play good football but they always allow chances for their opponents. A team which attacks as much as Barça do usually leave space at the back. I just hope that I do as well I normally do against them."

Vote of confidence

Sandra Sarmiento

Pep Guardiola’s Barça squad has a habit of overcoming the most difficult circumstances in the Champions League.

Group F is the tightest in this season’s Champions League, with just 2 points separating Inter in top spot and Dynamo Kiev in fourth. Barça, who are currently in third place, play hosts to Inter Milan knowing that they need a win to bring the knockout stages a little nearer. The team that has won five trophies under the guidance of Pep Guardiola has remained true to its footballing style and deserves the full support and confidence of the fans.

Lyon - a defining moment

WEB_15.jpgLast season’s CL tie against Olympique Lyon was one of the defining moments so far of the Guardiola era. Barça had lost the local derby against Espanyol, drawn in Gerland thanks to a goal from Frenchman Thierry Henry and then lost in the Vicente Calderón. It was one of the trickiest moments of the season. Barça needed a win to take them through to the Champions League quarterfinals – and they got it!

Champions League absentees

The problems continued to pile up for Barça even in the final. The squad travelled to Rome for the final on 27th May with Márquez injured, Abidal and Alves suspended, and Henry and Iniesta still struggling with injury. Despite all these problems, Barça produced a superb team effort to beat Manchester United and lift the trophy.

The same situation 3 years ago

FCB_-_WERDER_BREMEN_19.jpgIn 2006, after the Paris final against Arsenal, Barça played host to Werder Bremen for the last match of the group stage. Just like now, Barça were in third place, behind Mourinho’s Chelsea and Werder Bremen themselves. Only a win would guarantee qualification for Barça. A marvellous free kick by Ronaldinho and another goal from Gudjohnsen gave Barça the three points.

we will do it again and again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Amen

Daniel Alves reflected the mood in the Barça camp after the draw against Athletic Club on Saturday evening when he told the media "we hope that things will improve" after week when the club have been struck by injury and flu.

The Brazilian opened the scoring for the Blaugrana in San Mamés before Gaizka Toquero levelled and after the game looked ahead to a testing week. "We hope that it will be a good one," he explained. Even Real Madrid taking over the leadership of la Primera was met with a philosophical "these things can happen" from the full-back.

On Lionel Messi's injury, Alves was clearly concerned. "It is bad news because he is an important player for us but we need to know the extent of the problem," he added.

Defensive display

Alves netted his second goal of the league season, having already scored a free-kick against Atlético de Madrid in Camp Nou, and sought to explain why it was so difficult or Barça to find a winner. "As well as being a hard place to play, Athletic marked us tightly in a strong defensive display."

After the draw at San Mamés, Barça trained on Sunday morning in order to regain strength ahead of the game with Inter. Six important players were missing.

The plane from Bilbao landed in Barcelona at 1.30 last night, but by noon the players were together again at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper for training as Guardiola turns his mind to the crunch game on Tuesday against Inter.

Ibrahimovic, who is still sidelined with a muscle injury, was also absent, as was Piqué, who worked out the gym.

But Leo Messi was also missing, having spent Sunday morning undergoing tests to find out how serious the injury he sustained last night at San Mamés actually is.

Gentle session for starters
