Breaking News: Adiós Mourinho

Breaking News: Adiós Mourinho

The latest chapter of FC Barcelona’s battle with Jose Mourinho has come to an end, as Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez announced on Monday that the Portuguese manager would be seeking employment elsewhere for the coming season: “It was the right moment for us to go our separate ways.” Mourinho leaves after three seasons with the club, having taken over in 2010 after the sacking of Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini. Mourinho has yet to make an official statement concerning his future, but something tells me that it won’t be long before we once again cross paths.

What do you all think: is Mourinho’s departure something for Barcelona fans to celebrate? Perhaps more importantly: who do you think will replace him?

Muniesa: “My future is uncertain”

Blaugrana centre-back Marc Muniesa (21), whose contract with FC Barcelona ends in June, declared that his future is still uncertain because the Club has yet to communicate anything to him with only one month left until the season ends.

The truth is that I know nothing. I’d love to continue, I’ve always said that. But here they’re telling me nothing. I’m still waiting. If [my career is] not here, it will be somewhere else. But my future is uncertain,” he explained.

Tito Vilanova spoke to the media during Saturday’s press conference, after it was released that he will head to New York on Monday for further cancer treatment.

In preparation for Valladolid, he talked about the incentive to win 100 points. “We’ll try to win our remaining three matches. The more goals we score, the better. We can’t stop competing, that’s the only thing I wouldn’t like. We owe our fans and we have to finish the season in strong fashion.”

Match Preview: FC Barcelona vs Real Valladolid

Match Preview: FC Barcelona vs Real Valladolid

FC Barcelona have been crowned champions of La Liga, so what would motivate them against the Valladolid outfit? For some, the chance to chase Madrid’s 100 points last season is one valid reason although it would be a pity if that means Barcelona will keep under-utilizing their youngsters. With Valladolid already safe from relegation at 43 points, this match will be a platform to prepare the next season for both teams.

Miroslav Đukić’s men has won twice, drew twice, and lost once in their last 5 games. The loss came from a 7-goal-thriller against Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu. This shows at their current form, they are certainly no pushover. Playing a starting 4-2-3-1 formation, they like to attack from the middle and never hesitate to shoot from long range if the chance presents itself. Their top scorer and joint top assist maker is their attacking midfielder Óscar who has scored 12 and assisted 7 goals.
