FCB enter last 16, Messi makes history (again)


FCB go to Copenhagen in search of 3 points that would take them into the last 16 and give them the luxury of resting players in the remaining group matches which include a trip to Greece days before they play Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. How many days nobody knows as even though arguably the biggest league match in Europe is this month we still do now know if it will be played on Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
It is difficult to see Copenhagen being able to put up much resistance given that playing at home they will have to come out of their shells thereby leaving more space for Messi to get the goal that would take him past Rivaldo as the Barça player with most European goals.
There are no players missing for FCB except Pinto banned for the "whistle" incident in the first leg. It may be that Cesar Santin doesn't start either as he was the man duped in said moment and he was also guilty of the miss of the match in the first leg at the Camp Nou.
Biggest story in the Spanish press regarding the match says it all really. FC Barcelona travelled to Denmark in Sporting Braga's plane.
Prediction: FC Copenhagen 1-3 FC Barcelona
