The Barcelona faces this night (20:45, Camp Nou) Rubin Kazan in search of a victory that he confirms to him like leader of the Group F and levels the path towards the classification for the second round. With four points in your pigeonholes, he must make use of the today party to put ground of for way with your other rivals, who face between them: the Dynamo of Kiev (3 points) and the Inter of Milan, which only has managed to tie in your first two meetings.

Rubin Kazan comes being a leader of the Russian link, with a point more than Spartak de Valeri Karpin for lack of five days, but with the fall of your most important player: the forward Bukharov (11 goals in 15 parties). In your place the Knife Domínguez will play and of the rest of the team only there deserves separate mention the mostoleño César Navas, who will be the one that organizes the rear from your head office position. The proper trainer of Rubin, Kurban Berdiyev, does not trust very much in your possibilities or, at least, that wants to do to us to believe when he says:

And against whom is not the Barcelona favorite? I hope that God should listen to our prayers.

Money box for his part, seems that only it has Ibrahimovic’s doubt, which is not recovered yet completely of your inconveniences but the party does not want to get lost for anything of the world; let’s not forget that the only international title that Zlatan possesses is the Superglass of Europe that has gained this summer with the Barca. Messi will play insurance because, after being in the pillory the whole week, Pep will not leave it in the stool although he is searching the opportune moment to give him rest. And Andrés Iniesta will play again of titling, possibly of left wing since Henry is still an injured person.

In the yesterday press conference Money box had to support that a third of the questions was on Messi, but also it had weather to make very clear the importance that gives to this party:

The group keeps on being very complicated, but winning Rubin we would give a very important step and would put ourselves to three or four points of the classification. We have left two very difficult displacements to Kiev and Kazan, in bad epoch, and I am sure that the Inter will be more dangerous out of house than in Milan. That’s why it is vital to obtain the victory.

It is true that that of Santpedor has us used to every party taking as the most important, but he does not lack this time reason. After the duel of this night, he will have to visit your today rival on November 4, then it will receive to the Inter 24 (that possibly it will come needed from points) and December 9 will finish the round in the Ukrainian capital. So if desire today will be able to go without so many pressure to the field of Rubin, where it will not cost the Russian team in spite of shutting itself up back as it will make this night and, if it gains both parties, to hope to the Inter being classified virtually with 10 points.
