Barcelona
goalkeeper Victor
Valdes has declared that his team cannot relax and insists they are
"motivated" to claim the FIFA Club World Cup title in Abu Dhabi next
week.

The Blaugrana conclude domestic duties for 2009 this
weekend against city rivals Espanyol before traveling to the United Arab
Emirates to contest the world club tournament.

So far the Club
World Cup trophy has eluded Barca and Valdes recalls the last time they
took part in the tournament in 2006 and thinks they are in better shape
to claim the crown this year.

"This World Cup comes at a
different stage, after a great year and with the team full of
confidence. In 2006 we were not overconfident but our opponent played a
good final and the ball wouldn't go in for us," he told a press
conference.

"The fact that the club has never won this motivates
us on a personal and team level."

Barcelona will play their last La Liga fixture of 2009
against fiery city foes, Espanyol. It’s not an ideal preparation for
coach Pep Guardiola and his men ahead of their visit to Abu Dhabi for the FIFA Club World Cup, and it’s made worse
by the news that Lionel Messi will miss the clash against the
Blanc-i-Blau.
The Argentine sprained his ankle during
the midweek Champions League win over Dynamo Kiev and has been left out
of the squad. His availability for the Club World Cup will not be known
until another assessment is made prior to their departure on Sunday.
The only other player who will join Messi
on the sidelines is Jeffren Suarez, who is nursing a knee injury.
However, Dmytro Chygrynskiy and Gabriel Milito are both back in the
convoy for the clash against Espanyol.
Guardiola has not called up any
youngsters to complete his squad list and he will have the following 19
men at his disposal.
Goalkeepers: VictorValdes, Pinto
Defenders: Dani Alves, Puyol, Rafa Marquez, Pique, Chygrynskiy,
Milito, Abidal, Maxwell
Midfielders: Xavi, Toure Yaya, Keita, Iniesta, Busquets
Forwards: Pedro, Ibrahimovic, Bojan, Henry
We ask you to leave your choices in the
comments feature below using hyphens to separate positions, working from
right to left. For example, here is the side that could line up in a 4-3-3 formation:
Valdes – Alves, Pique, Puyol, Abidal – Xavi, Keita, Iniesta – Pedro,
Ibrahimovic, Henry
Visca el Barca!

Denilson stars for Pohang

Veteran Brazilian Denilson grabbed two goals as Pohang Steelers came
from
behind to beat FC Mazembe in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World
Cup in
Dubai.Mbenza Bedi had put Mazembe ahead after 28 minutes to raise
the possibility of
an upset against the favoured Steelers, but former Feyenoord man
Denilson scored
in the 50th and 78th minutes to turn the game on its head.Mazembe
began the game brightly, with Dioku Kaluyituka and Bedi both going
close with chances as the Steelers initially failed to find their
rhythm.Eventually the Steelers began to come into the game,
forcing a pair of saves
from Muteba Kidiba and it was perhaps against the run of play when Bedi
grabbed
the opener.Mabi Mputu played a clever through-ball and Bedi
lashed a shot home from 25
yards.The Steelers seemed stunned, and failed to muster much of a
threat until the
final minutes of the half when Kidiba had to make three saves to deny
Namkung
Do, Denilson and Kim Jae Sung.But things changed in the second
half when Denilson nodded home No Byung-Jun's
cross after only five minutes after the restart and the Steelers kept on
pushing
for a winner.Kidiba proved tough to beat but could do nothing
about Denilson's second, a
powerful shot which sent the Steelers through to face Estudiantes in the
semi-finals.
