Barcelona TV Expansion in Europe

More and more people will see Barcelona in Europe. The Club got an agreement with two distribution corporations to have Barca TV seen in Eastern Europe. The deals are within a plan of international distribution which has seen the channel already being offered in France and Japan.

One of the agreement has been struck with Iko Television, which broadcasts via satellite and cable to viewers in Hungary, Rumania, The Czech Republic and Slovakia. The second contract is with Polsat, a Polish company with 1.4 viewers. Both deals involve the broadcasting of between 2 and 6 hours a week.

Barcelona beats Cadiz and sets a record

African striker Samuel Eto'o scored twice and FC Barcelona won a club record 12th straight match on Saturday, defeating Cadiz 3-1 to assure itself of remaining atop the Spanish league after fifth straight round.

Ludovic Giuly scored for Barcelona too. Now the team broke the record of an 11-game winning streak in the league and Inter Cities Fairs Cup in the 1955-56 season.

Saturday's win over Cadiz's Ramon de Carranza stadium, which was achieved without flu-ridden Ronaldinho, moved it three points clear of Osasuna, which visits Real Madrid on Sunday.

Barcelona now has 37 points from 16 games, while Osasuna has 34. Deportivo has 29, one more than Real Madrid. Villarreal, Valencia and Celta have 26.

FC Barcelona can get a Winning Record on Saturday

FC Barcelona is looking forward to get a club record 12th straight win Saturday when it visits struggling Cadiz in the Spanish "La Liga".

Last weekend's 2-1 win over Sevilla equaled the league leader's 11-game run in the 1955-56 season, when it managed 10 victories and one in the Inter Cities Fairs Cup.

Barcelona has made 34 goals and only conceded four during its league and Champions League streak. Mexican defender Rafael Marquez thinks the defending champion is "on a higher rung than last season."

"We must keep on piling up the points. If we can break records that's even better but we should always keep our minds on the next game, the most important one," Marquez thinks.

Barca seems unlikely to be troubled by Cadiz, which has gained just two points from its last seven matches and has slipped to 16th place.
