Murcia - Barcelona


Merely one win in last 7 rounds brought Barcelona in a position to struggle for remaining at 3rd position. Murcia are already in 2nd league and their last 1st league game will be a chance for them to put on a good fight for their fans.

Adios «Primera»

Murcia`s last 1st league game will be against famous Barcelona, also in no so good situation. A win would be the best way for Murcia to say farewell for the season to their suffering fans. After good performances and solid placement in the first part of season, no one expected to see them in a situation like this. The only thing they can do now is to try and make it back to «Primera» as soon as possible. They managed to do it twice in this century and there`s no reason why they could not repeat it once again. Third time`s the charm! Murcia specialized in placing good in 2nd league, and everyone hopes to be celebrating their return to 1st league this time next year. Until then, it`s farewell to elite.


Cracking up

Things are so bad in Barcelona that it seems everyone is accusing everyone for their failure. Rijkaard said goodbye to the fans with tears in his eyes at the game against Mallorca. The home defeat after a great 2:0 lead was too much for everyone to take. Half-empty stadium burst with furious fans, for the first time in many years. They all seem to accuse Joan Laporta. Rather unusual, since he did all in his power to make a good team and bring the best players onboard. It was his duty and he did it the best way possible. Everything else was up to players, who obviously failed to live up to expectations for an unknown reason. It remains unclear whether case «Ronaldinho» was the definite breakdown of the team, but it`s irrelevant at this stage. Barcelona finish the championship in a disastrous form and with very poor results. A glorious cycle is over, 2 champions titles, Europe champions title, a very distinctive performance, those are results that Frank Rijkaard and Ronaldinho will be remembered by. Their splitting was also splitting with good results. They will have to gather all their strength on Saturday and win over Murcia in order to save their 3rd place.

Betting verdict

Barcelona are favorite but it won`t be easy despite their great need to defend their 3rd place. It`s not a motive enough for them with all the disappointment due to poor placement. Murcia, on the other hand, will be very motivated to win over celebrated rivals and say farewell with «Primera». Away win.
