Maxi: "My heart is with Barça”
Barça’s Argentine striker, Maxi López, is currently on loan to this weekend’s La Liga rivals Mallorca. However, as he confessed to Barça TV, his heart remains with FC Barcelona.
For Maxi López, this Sunday’s meeting between Barça and Mallorca in the Camp Nou will be no
ordinary match – it will be the first time he has played here defending the colours of
another team. In an interview for the programme “Zona Mixta” on Barça TV, he revealed:
“I’m really looking forward to playing this match. It’s really good playing in
the Camp Nou”. Unlike his time with Barça, Maxi is getting plenty of opportunities to show
what he can do: “I’m playing regularly now and that means my performances can be more
consistent”.
Barça favourites for league title
Maxi, who signed for Barça in January 2005, is well aware of the
Club’s position in the race for the league title: “Barça is a great team and also has
fantastic individuals. They are a touch above the rest. FC Barcelona are my favourites to win the
league title. My heart is with Barça”.
The Ono Estadi
Maxi played in this season’s first meeting between the two teams in Palma’s Ono
Estadi in Mallorca. He worked hard before being substituted on the hour by Víctor. Maxi López
believes this weekend’s match will be “a good match”. But whoever wins, Maxi for
one will have reason to celebrate.
