Barcelona aiming for 3rd Club World Cup title

Barcelona says Neymar picked up a “small” muscle injury in his left leg during team practice on Tuesday.

The Germans are aiming to reach the last 16 for the third year running, but have not won in Group E since beating BATE 4-1 in September.

The La Liga has named Neymar its player of the month for November.

Barcelona’s Neymar has scored five goals in three games during last month.

Finally, Garcia went on to rule out claims that Roma are “afraid” to take risks: “If we are conservative, we wouldn’t have played such a high-pressure game away to Torino [which ended in a 1-1 draw]”.

Should the injury require Neymar to miss a significant amount of time it could place his participation in the FIFA Club World Cup in jeopardy.

With Andres Iniesta, Dani Alves and Gerard Pique missing, and suggestions that Lionel Messi will play only a bit-part role, Leverkusen’s chances of qualification could be fair on the night.

Between them, they have already scored 44 goals this season, 19 of which have come from Suarez. “I am very happy in Spain in both my football and my life”, said Griezmann in an interview with Canal Football Club.

“I have always dreamed of winning this competition in a River Plate shirt”.

They face a Leverkusen side who are not in form having dropped to eighth in the German league after their 2-1 defeat at Hertha Berlin on Saturday with ten men.

“Barcelona are in great shape”.

Enrique will assuredly be desperate to get his three star forwards back on the pitch together as soon as possible, but Messi is doing all he can to ensure their ties remain strong, even when separated.

“Tomorrow is a good day to tell my players who will play before the media, that’s always my system”, Enrique said.

“We are looking forward to the game and want to compete with them in our own stadium”.
