United States (IBwire.com - April 20, 2011) DirectRooms.com reveals that football fans are eagerly awaiting the showdown between Malaga and FC Barcelona when the two teams next meet in May.

Malaga vs. FC Barcelona is set to be a thrilling encounter with the home side looking to make up for their last disappointing loss against Barcelona when they were beaten 4 - 1. During that game Malaga were completely overrun and unable to contain the likes of David Villa and Iniesta. Villa managed to bag two goals while Iniesta and Pedro both had a goal each.

This next game will see Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini trying to outwit his counterpart Pep Guardiola and especially look to contain the likes of Lionel Messi who was instrumental in the last match and is currently one of the Spanish league’s top scorers. Malaga will need to throw everything they have at Barcelona in the hope of getting a goal and they’ll be looking at key players such as Julio Baptista and Quincy Owusu-Abeyie to grab them a goal.

Barcelona however have quality all over the park with goals capable of coming from all areas of the pitch so Malaga’s defence will need to be at its most resistant to stop the forwards advancing.

The match kicks off from 15:00 on 22nd May 2011 and fans staying in a hotel in Malaga Airport will need to make their way to the Estadio La Rosaleda.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com commented: “Thousands of fans from Barcelona will be coming to watch the game in Malaga and this will mean that many hotels will be without spare rooms.”
