Barcelona B are in action tonight against Hercules, looking to extend their run of eight home matches unbeaten, and three consecutive wins at the Mini Estadi. However, in their way are one of the only teams to leave the Camp Nou triumphant since Pep Guardiola took charge of the senior team, so it will be far from straight-forward.

Oh, and the Mail have fabricated another story, as Barca are supposedly interested in Matias Suarez, despite the fact that David Villa will have recovered by then, along with Afellay, while the club may well have signed Neymar by this point...Basically, it's unlikely.

Real Madrid's Jese Rodriguez unlikely to join Fulham | Mail Online
Fulham's hopes of adding Real Madrid youngster Jese Rodriguez to their ranks have been scuppered by Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese manager had been considering allowing the 18-year-old attacking midfielder to leave the La Liga leaders on a temporary basis, but now appears to want him in and around the first team.
"In our first game against Madrid earlier this season, he [Cristiano Ronaldo] completely ignored me when I greeted him. He has a bit of an arrogant attitude, and does not know how to lose," Cisma was quoted as saying by Marca. "When we met again last weekend, I returned his action and did not shake his hand at the Santiago Bernabeu either."
