This match has got us both excited and nervous. The first, because it's been a while since we last saw the boys play, and we've missed it. The second, because no way is this going to be easy.
Getafe are a tricky team, and we usually have a hard time against them. The fact that most of our squad is just returning from international duty doesn't help either, especially with our star Leo Messi bound to be feeling glum what with Argentina's qualification struggles. We'll just have to hope that the international break won't take too much of a toll on the team.
The upside here is the return of Andres Iniesta. With many of our players wearily returning from their national teams, he's been resting up for this one and will take to the pitch with fresh legs and an eagerness to be playing for the first time in over three months. We're feeling like he's Barca's secret weapon for this match.
Also given the greenlight to play is Rafael Marquez, but for whatever reason, Pep did not call him up for this match. Chygrynskiy is included in the squad and might make his debut, although that's doubtful seeing as he has barely trained with the team since his arrival.
Whatever Pep decides to do, we hope it works out!
Saturday, Saturday!
