Barcelona have accounts outstanding against Malaga
Luis Enrique could only win two games of six against them
Camp Nou won't forget Michel and his team's lack of resistance against Madrid
Whatever happens on Saturday, Michel is practically assured of staying at Malaga one week more at least. The Andalusians are not optimistic of taking anything from Camp Nou, so unless they get ridiculed in capital letters, his job doesn't depend on getting a result here.
However Camp Nou, their fans, they are excited, to face a team that has tripped them up more than a few times in Luis Enrique's era. Nobody forgets the fianl day of last season either, with Malaga making it clear they would prefer Madrid to win the league and rolling over against Los Blancos.
"I'm more Madridista than Valdano," said Michel, referring to the 'Tenerife seasons' where Cruyff's side benefitted from ex-Madrid man Valdano tripping up his old side.
Barcelona were only able to beat Malaga twice in six attempts under Lucho, including a horrible 2-0 defeat after Madrid had drawn and given the Blaugrana a chance to get back in the title race.
