Espanyol will play on Monday the 2nd May against Athletic de Bilbao at the stadium Cornellà – El Prat the round 34 of the Spanish league.

RCD Espanyol, after a great first rounds in La Liga and after being in the places that give access to the Europa League for a lot of weeks, is now the eighth, 4 points from EUFA places, because of the bad matches they played recently. Pochettino’s team, after losing last weekend at Sporting’s stadium, will try to get back in track and enter in the next Europa League championship.

However, Espanyol’s football players will have to fight a lot to win the match because the rival will be Athletic de Bilbao, a team that is also struggling to break into the Europa League next year. Athletic already is in a good position of the chart. In addition, the Basque team is playing better than the Catalan team lately.

Espanyol fans will hope that next Monday at 9 pm their team will play well and can take the 3 points, keeping the door open for an European place.

Uno de los partidos más decisivos del Espanyol

El próximo partido del Espanyol será el lunes 2 de mayo y lo jugará frente al Athletic de Bilbao en casa, en el estadio de Cornellà – El Prat. El encuentro cerrará la jornada nº 34 de la liga.

El RCD Espanyol, que había cursado una de sus mejores primeras vueltas de los últimos años, ha pasado de estar afianzado en la zona que da acceso a la Europa League, a estar ya en el octavo puesto y a 4 puntos de esas posiciones después de los malos resultados que ha cosechado últimamente. El equipo de Pochettino, que no pasa por un buen momento, y mas aún después de perder el fin de semana pasado en casa del Sporting, intentará ahora poder remontar los puestos perdidos y no alejarse más de la zona “europea”.

Sin embargo, los blanquiazules no lo tendrán nada fácil para llevarse el encuentro: su rival es el Athletic de Joaquín Caparrós, que también está luchando por colarse en la Europa League. Pero la diferencia entre uno y otro es que el conjunto vasco, que viene de ganar el “derby” contra la Real Sociedad, no tiene que luchar por llegar a la zona Europea, si no por mantenerla, además de pasar por un buen momento de juego y resultados.

La afición del Espanyol esperará el próximo lunes a las 9 de la noche que su equipo haga un buen partido y se pueda llevar los 3 puntos que le permitan acercarse más a los puestos europeos.

¿Hay que prohibir fumar en los estadios de fútbol españoles?

El presidente del Barça Sandro Rosell y la directiva del club está valorando el hecho de prohibir fumar en el Camp Nou o de preguntar a los socios si prefieren que el estadio esté libre de humo o que el tabaco esté permitido. A raíz de esto, en los primeros meses del 2011 ha surgido el debate de si hay que prohibir, o no, fumar en los estadios de fútbol españoles.

El objetivo de la campaña Camp Nou sense fum (Camp Nou sin humo) que impulsa la directiva barcelonista no es otro que el de no perjudicar la salud de los espectadores que van al estadio y que se convierten en fumadores pasivos, y más en una época en la que cada vez van más niños al equipo. Esta campaña llega después de que el parlamento vasco aprobara una normativa que abre las puertas a la prohibición del tabaco en los campos.

La prohibición de fumar en los estadios de fútbol es nueva en España, pero ya ha calado en algunos países de Europa. Desde el 2007, ningún campo inglés permite fumar y, en otros países, equipos como Amsterdam (Holanda) o Bayern Leverkusen (Alemania) han aplicado la misma ley a nivel individual.

La propuesta de Rosell abre ahora una polémica que dará mucho que hablar. Algunos defenderán la iniciativa y querrán llevarla a todos los estadios, y otros se opondrán a ella, muchos defendiendo que el campo es un lugar abierto que está expuesto al aire libre.

Y tú, ¿Crees que se tendría que prohibir fumar en los estadios de fútbol?

Should smoking be banned in the Spanish football stadiums?

Barça’s president Sandro Rosell and the rest of the club’s directors are considering banning smoking in Camp Nou or asking the club’s partners if they prefer a stadium where smoking is allowed or forbidden. Because of this, in the first months of 2011 there has been discussion of whether or not to ban smoking in Spanish football stadiums.

The goal of the Camp Nou sense fum (Smoke-free Camp Nou) initiative promoted by Rosell is none other than not harming the health of the spectators who go to the stadium (they become passive smokers), and even more so nowadays, because there are many more children who go to the stadium. The initiative comes after the Basque parliament approved a law that allows the possibility of banning smoking in the stadiums.

The prohibition of smoking in football stadiums is new in Spain, but it is in force in other European countries. Since 2007, none of the English stadiums allow smoking, and in other countries there are teams like Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bayern Leverkusen (Germany) that applies the law too.

Rosell’s proposal opens a debate that we will probably be talking about for a long time. Some people will defend the initiative and will want to apply it to all stadiums, and others will oppose it, possibly because they think that the stadium is an open area and is exposed to the air.

And what’s your opinion? Do you think that smoking in the stadiums should be banned?

4 “Classics” in just 18 days?

Tuesday 12 April 2011 17:38
Written by spainticketsblog

On Saturday 16th April, the two bigger Spanish League teams, Barcelona and Madrid, will play the first of the four matches they could face each other. The 4 matches could take place in just 18 days and 3 major competitions could be decided: the Spanish League, the Spanish Cup and the Champions League, something unheard of until now.

Firstly, the two teams will play this weekend the first of the “Classics”, the league’s match, and this is not less important than the others, because if Barça will win it, they also will win almost mathematically La Liga and, if the winner of the match is Real Madrid, they could still fight for the title. In case of a tie, Guardiola’s team would have more chances to win the Liga.

Only 4 days later, and before the Real Madrid and Barcelona meet possibly in the Champions League, there is the final of the Spanish Cup, a title that Real hasn’t won in the last 18 years. The last final played between the two teams was in the season 89-90 (the Catalan team won it). The Cup, a title sometimes not valued enough, this year will have a final played by two “first level teams”.

The supporters will get the biggest emotions if finally Barcelona and Real Madrid get to the semifinals of the Champions (it would be very improbable if they would not do it). The only Champions League semi-final played by these two teams was in 2002, and Madrid was the winner. Will this year be the year of Barcelona’s revenge?

We’ll see what happens. Everything has yet to be decided
And you, what do you think? Which team will win each of the 4 games?
