http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 will be facing the second-place side, Atletico Madrid, in the Spanish La Liga over the weekend and Tito Vilanova will have to field a strong side in order to beat an in-form Atletico team.
La Blaugrana have taken the best start in the history of the Spanish La Liga, and that is the reason why they currently sit at the top spot in the points table.
The Spanish giants have won all their fixtures except the one against their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, which they drew; and those were the only two points they have lost throughout the season.
On the other hand, this season’s surprises are the Madrid side, Atletico Madrid, who have been winning with the help of their new coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276.
Falcao has been on a goal-scoring spree recently and that is the reason why he is under the radar of many elite European clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, who have always been the best sides in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
Moreover, Falcao’s latest 5-goal haul against Deportivo La Coruna helped him write his name in the history books and now there are other clubs, from the Premier League and Italian Serie A, who want to sign the prolific goal-scorer.
Since Barcelona will be facing a threat like Falcao, Tito Vilanova will have to field a side worthy of silencing the Colombian star, who has managed to score at will during this season.
His only performance not worthy of praise came against the current Spanish champions, Real Madrid, who were able to win the match 2-0 against Atletico.
Tito Vilanova has almost all his players available to play, and that is definitely good news for him. One player who cannot be fielded against Atletico Madrid is the French defender, Eric Abidal.
Another player who is facing a month out because of an injury is the Spanish midfielder, Cesc Fabregas, who can definitely not be fielded against Atletico Madrid.
Abidal’s return will definitely be welcomed by Vilanova, who often has defensive crises in the team, while Cesc Fabregas is a player who La Blaugrana will miss as he finally picked up some pace this season.
