Madrid, Dec 3 (DPA) The next team in the gunsights of rampant Barcelona is Deportivo La Coruna in the Spanish Primera Liga.
Barca will go to Riazor Saturday in their best form of the season. They defeated Inter Milan 2-0 to all but guarantee their place in the knockout stage of the Champions League, followed it up with a 1-0 over big rivals Real Madrid in the latest league “Clasico” and moved five points clear atop La Liga with a 2-0 win at bottom team Xerez.

“Everything is going right for us at the moment,” said midfielder Andres Iniesta after the Xerez win.

“Things are so good,” he added, “that we just cannot wait for the next match to come around.”

Barca have no injury worries, now that European Footballer of the Year Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and even Gabriel Milito are fit.

Coach Josep Gurdiola is doing well to rotate his short squad from match to match, making sure than no one gets burned out.

In Xerez, Messi, Ibrahimovic and Iniesta all started on the subs’ bench.

Deportivo will be without striker Lassad Nouioui, out for four weeks with a torn muscle in his left leg.

However, they are not be without hope. Brazilian left-back Filipe Luis - who almost signed for Barca in summer — said on Wednesday that “Barca are a great team but it will not be easy for them”.

Earlier Saturday, Real will be at home to Almeria without groin strain victim Kaka. Cristiano Ronaldo, however, is now fit and raring to go.

Another man fit to play is Karim Benzema, despite wrecking his car Monday by hitting a tree. But Lassana Diarra is suspended after being sent off against Barca.

Also Saturday, third-placed Sevilla are at home to Valladolid, while Atletico Madrid will be trying to continue their revival away to Xerez.

Sunday’s big game will bring together Athletic Bilbao — always dangerous at home — and fourth-placed Valencia, who beat Lille 3-1 Wednesday in the Europa League.

Racing Santander are away to Espanyol, Malaga host Osasuna, Mallorca take on Zaragoza, Tenerife face Sporting Gijon and Villarreal meet Getafe.
