How long since Barca been top?
Can really remember but feels like ages!
Athletic without Laporte and San José tonight. Basically half of their defense. Iturraspe is still out as well. So the 34 year old Gurpegi, the average Rico and the ever disappointing Etxebarria are likely to play tonight.
They are going to play less than 3 days after their Espanyol match while RM has had 6 days of rest.
It will be very difficult for them to get anything out of tonight's match IMO.
