9/4/2008 UEFA Champions League Live - Barcelona vs Schalke 04

Having achieved an impressive away win in the first leg, the Catalan team will be eager to get going in this live commentary and radio broadcast UEFA Champions League second leg quarterfinal and finish off the job by burying their German opponents and advancing to the semi final for a delicious tie again English champions Manchester United. Much has been made of Rijkaard's side who has capitulated in the face of growing pressure in the domestic title race, but not one journalist has pointed out that the side has been shorn of many of their key players who make the team tick, such as Ronaldinho, Messi and Deco. While the former has an attitude problem which has seen him exiled and ostracised from the rest of the team, the rest have been professional to say the least and without the creativity needed from them, it would paralyse any team. If one criticism may be leveled at Barcelona, it would be their over reliance on players like Messi, and with no capable backup, they will be expected to struggle in games like this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match between Barcelona and Schalke 04 at the Nou Camp.

Slomka and his German team are under no illusions as to the size of their task, and that is that they have to beat their Spanish opponent at their home ground in this live commentary and live streaming radio telecast UEFA Champions League quarterfinal between Barcelona and Schalke 04 and they will have to do it in the intimidating atmosphere of the Nou Camp where the home fans are just as likely to turn on their team as they will scare the living daylights out of visiting teams. If Slomka would like to find out how to get the better of his counterpart, he would do well to watch the tape of Villareal's comprehensive defeat of the Catalan side last month when they came here and swaggered their way to a two goal victory. He could also catch a glimpse of how Getafe fought to a draw against the same opponent last weekend, when Barcelona struggled so much and ended up having ninety five thousand white handkerchiefs waved in their faces, a sign of growing discontent amongst fans. Perhaps the only chance the German team has in this game is to leverage on the fans' anger at their struggling team and hope that it will unsettle the home side in this live commentary and live streaming TV broadcast soccer tie between Barcelona and Schalke 04, and in the process perhaps score a shock upset win over them and advance to the semi final. However, if they do, they would almost certainly be out of the competition after playing Manchester United.
