We’ll give it everything

Anna Segura

Using the slogan 'we’ll give it everything', FC Barcelona are organising a series of spontaneous initiatives for the build-up to the huge game against Inter Milan on Wednesday, where they have to make amends for 3-1 defeat in Italy.

The fans’ support will be needed more than ever for the massive Champions League game coming up on Wednesday. There is a two goal deficit to make up if Barça are to be playing in the grand final at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Fans hold the key

'We’ll give it everything' is what FC Barcelona are promising the supporters as they prepare for one of the biggest matches in recent history. The game won’t kick off until 20.45, but the build-up began as soon as the final whistle blew on the league fixture with Xerez. A sell-out crowd is expected at the Camp Nou, and Guardiola and his players know that the ideal way to unsettle Inter will be for the fans to make themselves heard.

The following are all the activities being planned for the big night:

- The game starts at 20.00. We are calling on supporters to be in the ground three quarters of an hour before it starts, so that the players can feel the warmth of their support from the moment they go out for the warm-up.
- Barça colours for everybody: wear the shirt and scarf, fly the flag, like on all special occasions.
- Mosaic of 90,000 cards in the colours of Barça and the Catalan flag and the picture of a fan holding a scarf saying 'Barça!'
- After the game with Xerez 50,000 stickers bearing the logo 'Nos dejaremos la piel' were handed out.
- Television adverts: The club will be recording two promotions, one about the supporters’ role and the other about the players.

Also on social networks

Facebook and Twitter are the other FC Barcelona platforms that fans can use in the build-up to Barça v Inter by leaving their comments there. The club has set up a special facebook page , which can be found on the club’s official page ( www.facebook.com/fcbarcelona ) and where fans can join in with the desire for a 2-0 win or better.

Barça fans can also take part in the comeback through the official Barça twitter accounts (www.twitter.com/fcbarcelona_cat, www.twitter.com/fcbarcelona_es y www.twitter.com/fcbarcelona). Using the hashtag #remontada, which has already gained popularity on this social network, Barça fans can share their messages of support for the team.
