Four crunch EuroLeague games at the Palau Blaugrana: ‘We are one cry!’

Things are very tight in the EuroLeague with just six rounds of games to go, four of which will see FC Barcelona playing at home, with three of those in a row. The 'Magic of the Palau' is needed more than ever as the Catalans look to make it into the playoffs in their 125th anniversary year, and the message being sent out is that ‘Som un sol crit!’ (we are one cry!).

With that as the motto, fans who are not already Palau season ticket holders can buy ticket packages for the four games against Partizan (14 March, 8.45 pm), Zalgiris (21 March, 8.30 pm), Bayern Munich (25 March, 8.30 pm) and the final game against Virtus Bologna (11 April, 8.30 pm).

After the run of three games at home concludes against Bayern, Barça will travel to Emporio Armani Milà (Thursday 27) and Fenerbahçe (2 April). For the latter, fans are invited to join the team on a charter flight to Turkey.

Tighter than tight

Three wins at home would be a giant's step towards ensuring a place in the play-offs, or failing that at least the play-in round, and would ease the pressure for the final games. Barça are currently ninth, matched on 15-3 with Partizan (who they meet next) and Milan.

That's not enough to advance directly into the playoffs (a privilege only granted to the top six teams), but Barça are just one win short of Red Star in sixth. The teams ranked 7th to 10th go into the play-in round. As things stand, Barça would be one of those, although the likes of Anadolu Efes and Real Madrid are perilously close behind. So it's all to play for!
