Barca seem uncomfortable with sides that actually attack them aggressively, rather than sit back and soak up pressure. Schalke have a tendency to throw players forward (almost reckless) when they need goals, it would be interesting to see Barca's reaction tonight.

Barcelona coach denies rift with Ronaldinho

Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard on Tuesday moved to quash speculation about a rift between the club and an injured Ronaldinho which will reportedly see the Brazilian star leave the Spanish club at the end of the season.

"Its a pity that he is not able to join us due to injury. A pity not only for the Champions League but also for the league. As for his future, I can't predict the future but I think he still has a contract with Barcelona," he told a news conference.

Ronaldinho, a former FIFA World Player of the Year, is under contract with Barcelona until 2010.

He has been plagued by injury and fitness problems this season that have made it his worst since joining Barcelona from Paris Saint-Germain in 2003, leading to reports that the Catalan club are looking to offload the player at the end of the season.

Last week Barcelona announced Ronaldinho, 28, would be sidelined for about six weeks because he pulled a muscle in his right leg during a training session.

The Brazilian international started only 13 of the club's 30 league games this season.

Barcelona can progress to the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday if they avoid a defeat to Schalke 04 at home.

The club beat the German side 1-0 in Gelsenkirchen last Tuesday to take the advantage in their quarter-final clash.

"We're on the right track although we have to play an important match tomorrow against a good team," said Rijkaard.

"We have to be ready to face up to a Schalke side that will certainly be striving for a more direct game to get the result they need," he added.

Barcelona head into the match having been held 0-0 at home by Getafe on Sunday. The result left the club in third palce, seven points behind league leaders Real Madrid.

That's because they play with their back four way to flat. This allows the opponents to create gaps more easily between the defenders. No one pulls off quick enough or steps forward quick enough to try and stop the pass into the forwards which allow the forwards to turn.

Maybe! but most goals scored on Barca seems to be from crosses in the air. Barca always look second best when contesting for balls in the air.

Very true. Most of Barca's Centre Backs not very tall....they dont really have that much of an aerial presence.
Last week i got all the results i wanted....yesterday was a different story. Hopefully today i get all the results i want.

Right now Schalke taking it to Barca, some real good opportunities.

Barca had a real good one on one with Iniesta sending ah bess through ball to Xavi who, somehow, managed not to score.

Rijkaard expects high level semi final



Frank Rijkaard believes that the Champions League semi final against Manchester United will be played at a very high level after FC Barcelona qualified for the semi finals with victory over Schalke 04.

The Dutch coach was looking forward to the encounter with the Red Devils in the semi final after the Blaugran booked their place with a win on Wednesday evening in Camp Nou, thanks to a single goal from Touré Yaya. "I am glad to have this chance to play the semi finals," Rijkaard said. "Now we have to prepare to play two very big games against a team that is in great form. Barça and Manchester United are two teams that play very good football."

No favourites

Staying on theme of the next round, Rijkaard did not want to talk about which side he feels will be the favourites to go through to the final in Moscow next month. "I have never talked about favourites," he continued. "We are happy to play these two matches and I presume that they are too. Then we shall see what happens. What is clear is that the tie will be played at a very high level."

Reflecting on the win over Schalke, Rijkaard explained that his team had more difficulties than they may have expected, but was pleased with the team's second half performance. "It was a complicated match. Due to the result in the first game they had nothing to lose and looked to cause a surprise," he said. "They have played well and the anxiety has showed in the result and that affected our pay. Little-by-little we have improved and in the second half we were better."

Bojan’s change

After the Barça fans whistled their disagreement with the decision to take Bojan Krkic off, Rijkaard said that he knew it was aimed at him. "I am pleased for Bojan because he had a great game and I am happy that the public sympathised with him," he continued, before airing his feelings on the atmosphere that Giovani Dos Santos walked into when he replaced his young team-mate. "I felt sorry for Giovani. The whistles were for me and I accept them and I know that I have to carry on working," Rijkaard explained. "But it was not good as a kid of 18 years who worked very hard and is a generous player all round."

smart move by Frank. Hadda protect Bojan. Plenty big games needed to finish the season on a high note, and right now Bojan is the crown jewel in the attack. But young players who still growing and developing who play too much can end up like Messi....so yuh up 2-0 on aggregate, have an away goal, weather the 1st half German storm and looking comfotable in the 2nd half, have faith in Puyol and co....well then, best thing to do is take the best player off. No need to risk him getting an injury.
