vs 
RCD Espanyol vs FC Barcelona
Estadi Cornellà-El Prat (Cornellá) | Sat, Jan 2 | 16:00 CET
Referee: González González, José Luis
A very successful year 2015 is over and now we have to start from the
beginning all over again. Our first match of 2016 is against our old
adversary Espanyol, who replaced their manager in the middle of
December.
Espanyol is currently 13th on the league table with 20 points. In their
last five league matches they've won once, drew once and lost three
times.
They will miss Arbilla, V. Sánchez and Cañas due to injury. Montañés,
Ciani and Fuentes will miss the match due to technical decision.
Barça will miss Rafinha due to injury. Turan and Vidal are not yet
allowed to play. Everyone else is more or less ready for the match.
There is a saying in my country ... Bad start, good ending. But let's go
for our first of many victories in 2016.
