Barcelona Kick off time - 12:00

Why so early ?

It is on in the background, did the commentator just say it is for the Chinese new year ?

They kicked off at 11.00 am our time and are 2-0 up at HT.

Spain always do this on a sunday - live games 11.00 am - 6.00pm - 8.00 pm today. (some sundays 3.00pm also).

Champions league next week, and la liga considerate with their schedule.

Because the game is being televised in Asia, where it is early evening at that time, Spanish football is trying to break the English premier leagues dominance of the Asian tv market

its been posted before but they always have an early kick off on sundays its like our early saturday kick offs
