BAYER Leverkusen will have guests on the first leg of the great Barcelona Champions League last 16, early morning. Who will win?
Talking about the chances of winning, of course, many people championed Barca. In addition to superior players in the material, Barca also have a mental steel as the defending champion status.
However, the above assumption does not necessarily become a benchmark Barca will easily pass through the BayArena Bayer. 2-3 defeat suffered by troops in the last game Pep Guardiola's La Liga provide additional motivation Stefan Kiessling et al.
Moreover, Leverkusen also had a record quite nicely at home in the Champions League this season. Leverkusen successful steal full points from three home games in the group phase. Genk (2-0), Valencia (2-1) and Chelsea (2-1) successfully embedded in the stadium with a capacity of 30 000 seats.
However, there are constraints that should be a concern coach Robin Dutt. Leverkusen center stage in a bad period in the Bundesliga after a 0-1 defeat at Borussia Dortmund last game, last weekend.
This coupled with injuries to several players. Veteran players, Michael Ballack should be absent because of a calf injury. So is the mainstay of Eren Derdiyok goal machine who is also with injuries. The absence of the Swiss bomber obviously be a severe blow for the team ranked sixth in the standings residents Bundesliga. Because, Derdiyok is the only player who can score two goals.
Barca are facing a record average of 4 goals scored in the Champions League this season, Leverkusen certainly have to play the full discipline and maximize quick counter-attack. Scored a thing to be done Leverkusen. Even better able to score quickly.
"A miracle if we can beat them in two meetings. Barca is even better than the Spanish national team (World and European Champion). So, we must consider the entire Barca players including their reserve players, "said Leverkusen coach Robin Dutt at a press conference before the game session.
While in the opposite camp, Barcelona came and brought the anger following the defeat of Osasuna. Barca will certainly shift the focus to the Champions League, because their chances of winning La Liga because of the increasingly thin 10 points adrift of its main rival, Real Madrid.
In later games, coach Pep Guardiola will surely be playing his best squad. Lionel Messi will again have the support of the midfield duo of Xavi and Andres Iniesta Hernnandez and Cesc Fabregas, who was rested against Osasuna.
Barca midfield strength is also stronger because of Sergio Busquets also included in the squad, although not yet definitely lowered due to recovering from a knee injury.
On stage this season's Champions League, Barca's appearance is much more stable than in the domestic arena. In the group stage, Barca secured their group winners qualify for the status, with unbeaten record. Barca's also scored 20 goals which is actually the highest goal record in the Champions League, equaling the record for Manchester United in 1998-1999.
Given the record in dealing with the German team, Barca can be a little jumawa. The reason, of a total of 21 times a trip to the Land of Hitler, El Barca successfully won eight wins and five loses. In his last seven trips, Barca even undefeated (four wins, three draws).
However, there is little value that accompanies a trip to the BayArena Barca. Yes, El Barça lost to Leverkusen in the 2001-2002 season. At that time, Barca lost 1-2 in the group phase. Leverkusen itself capable of driving up to the final before it was stopped Real Madrid 1-2.
