Moment of Truth for the European Champions
Frank Rijkaard and Barcelona fans will be hoping that Ronaldinho’s return to form will spill over into the mid-week’s Champions League showdown against Werder Bremen.
The German club is coming off an emotional high from their 1-0 victory over Chelsea; however, they must travel to the Nou Camp to face a recharged Barcelona team.
The last time the two clubs meet, Bremen forced an own goal from Puyol, and Barcelona needed Messi to score in the late minutes to secure a tie.
Going into the last Match Day, Barcelona sits in third place beneath Chelsea and Werder Bremen (both on 10 pts.). With just 8 pts., this time a draw will see mighty Barcelona fall into the UEFA Cup, a disaster for the La Liga club.
At the weekend, Barcelona has a much easier fixture as they face lowly Levante while Bremen face Hertha Berlin (5th spot in the Bundesliga), who are only 3 pts. behind 2nd place Bremen.
