BARCELONA AIMS FOR FOURTH CONSECUTIVE WIN OVER RIVALS, MADRID SEEKS REVENGE

Image
  May 11, 2025 FC Barcelona - Real Madrid  CF Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain On Sunday, May 11, 2025, another chapter of the world's most famous football rivalry will take place in Spanish LaLiga. FC Barcelona will welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou, with both teams having much to play for in this El Clásico. Barcelona have won their last three matches against Real Madrid in all competitions. Only once in the entire history of El Clásico, between 2008 and 2010 under Josep Guardiola (five), have the Blaugrana managed to win 4 or more consecutive matches. The Catalan side thus has a chance to join Guardiola's legendary team. However, Real Madrid have won four of their last five away matches against FC Barcelona in all competitions (1 loss), achieving the same number of victories as in their previous 19 visits to Barcelona (4 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses). Los Blancos have thus significantly improved their record at their arch-rival's ground. Barcelona have won all three of...

FC Barcelona - RC Celta de Vigo: BARÇA SEEK TO EXTEND UNBEATEN RUN AGAINST ASPAS' CELTA

Image
  April 19, 2025 FC Barelona - RC Celta de Vigo The historic Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys will host a fascinating LaLiga encounter this Saturday as FC Barcelona welcome RC Celta de Vigo in a fixture that has produced its fair share of surprises in recent years. Barcelona enter the match in imperious form, unbeaten in their last 12 LaLiga matches with 10 wins and 2 draws. The Catalan giants are one of only three teams across Europe's top five leagues to remain undefeated in 2025, alongside Paris Saint-Germain and Roma. This remarkable run has positioned them firmly in the title race as the season enters its critical final stretch. Despite their current momentum, Barcelona will be wary of a Celta side that has proven to be something of a thorn in their side over recent seasons. Since 2017-18, the Galician outfit has collected points in eight of their 15 meetings with the Blaugrana in LaLiga (3 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses). Only Real Madrid has managed to take points off Barcelona mo...

LAST HOPE FOR A FOOTBALL MIRACLE: DORTMUND NEEDS THE IMPOSSIBLE AGAINST BARCELONA

Image
  Borussia Dortmund v Barcelona (aggregate score: 0-4) April 15, 2025 History could be written tonight under the floodlights of the legendary Signal Iduna Park. The Yellow and Black wall of Borussia Dortmund fans will witness an attempt at something that has succeeded only once in 160 previous cases - overturning a four-goal deficit from the first leg. Paradoxically, tonight's opponent, Barcelona, is the only team that has achieved such a comeback - in 2017 against PSG, winning 6-1 after losing 0-4. Can Dortmund return the favor to the Catalans? The numbers don't bode well for Borussia. They have historically never managed to defeat Barcelona in European competitions. In six mutual matches, they have only two draws and four losses. If they don't win today, they will equal their longest winless streak against a single opponent in Europe - seven matches against Scottish Rangers between 1966 and 1999. "We believe in the impossible," Borussia captain Marco Reus ra...
