Barcelona looking to take three point against Xerez

A week which will decide everything for Barcelona, Champions League, Spanish League. The team took rest on Wednesday after having two tough matches against Espanyol and Inter Milan. Every team member knows the important of winning against Xerez on Saturday, which will not only help them to keep their lead in Spanish League but will also boost them for the Semi Finals which will be played against Inter Milan on Wednesday.

Lionel Messi havent score against Xerez and Villarreal, this week he will get the chance to score against them, which will help him to take Golden Boot this season, but he will also agree that Golden Boot will not make him happy, as we all know how much he would want to help Barcelona win cups rather than individuals awards. Messi have only played 40 minutes against Xerez when he came on and set Ibrahomovic to get the second goal.

Pep Guardiola have also said that they wont take Xerez for granted, as Xerez have been unbeaten for last three matches . He also believe that a win against Xerez will affect Barcelona performance, but also said that they are prepared for Inter Milan match and it will be difficult but Barcelona will try and carry on, he also explained that Barcelona have done great things in past 19 or 20 months but it will be even great if they win against Inter Milan on Wednesday.

Personally, I think Barcelona lack the front line this season, last season all our three strikers were in great form, no one were even near our goal scoring record, this season only Messi have been able to repeat his form, and Henry have been quite the whole season, maybe thats why Guardiola trust Pedro more than Henry as he is quick and he has been scoring goals in all competition. Ibrahimovic looks great but he is also having ups and down, due to his injury. So I hope Guardiola manage to get everything out of Ibrahimovic and Pedro, so there is less pressure on Messi, as now its like if you stop Messi, you stop Barcelona. So lets do it guys, lets show everyone that you are not allowed to point at Barca
