Barcelona Crush: Ítaca Hostel in the Gothic Quarter
2012-05-07 18:07:00 By Regina W. Bryan in Barcelona— I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of sleeping in a dorm room unless there’s no other alternative. Those days of communal snoring are pretty much a thing of the past for me, and yet here I am, crushing on Ítaca Hostel in Barcelona. Of all the hostels I’ve visited in Barcelona (and I mean hostel like youth hostel, not hostal) Ítaca stands out in my mind as being the most welcoming. Plus, its location is unbeatable. Cristina and Nuria own the hostel and have created a cool, communal vibe while offering lots of perks to guests. I can see how it would be easy to meet other travelers at Ítaca over free coffee and tea in the downstairs lounge area or upstairs in the ample communal kitchen. I also like the arty flair at Ítaca, its walls adorned with colorful murals. Finally, a communal bathroom without any ick! factor. Tidy points One of the reasons I tend not to like hostels is the grime factor (and the lack of privacy). I’m not into a mess...

Soccer Beats NFL At Twitter Tweets-Per-Second: Chelsea V Barcelona Over NFL

Barca Knocked out by Chelsea; FC Barcelona -2, Chelsea - 2
2012-04-24 22:52:00 Holders FC Barcelona has been knocked out off the Champiosn League by a reselient Chelsea side despite being down to ten man for the majority of the match. A momentary lapse in concentration which lead to the Ramires goal and a missed penalty by Messi in the second half killed Barcalona's comeback hopes. Busquets brought Barca back in the tie when he opened the scoring, Iniesta then looked like have sealed the match but in the first half injury time we conceded again as in the first leg. Torres made sure of Chelsea's progress when he scored deep into the second half injury time, but by that time we had already lost hopes.Chelsea went with an unchanged line-up from the first leg. GUardiola elected for a 3-4-3 diamond formation for this crucial tie. The three men defense had Puyol, Pique and Mascherano. The midfield had BUsquets, Xavi, Iniesta and Cesc. Cuenca, Messi and Sanchez formed the front trio.In the 3rd minute Lionel Messi had a great chance to put Barca ahead after a brilli...
FC Barcelona surrenders League Title; FC Barcelona - 1, Real Madrid - 2
2012-04-21 22:27:00 Real Madrid well and truly have sealed the La Liga title of 2011-12 season with a 2-1 victory at the Camp Nou. Khedira and Ronaldo scored for the away side taking them 7 points clear of the defending Champions. It was the first victory of Real Madrid under Mourinho against FC Barcelona in the league, incidently it was the first victory for Mourinho at the Camp Nou. What a time for that to happen. A first half goal from Khedira put Real Madrid in the pole position but Sanchez equalised within a minute of his introduction but within two minutes Ronaldo put Madrid back in front. And we failed to respond to such a set back. Guardiola went once again went with the same defense which lined up against Chelsea - Alves, Mascherano, Puyol and Adriano. The midfield had Xavi, Busquets and Thiago. Once again Iniesta was used in the flanks along with Tello and Messi in the middle. Real Madrid meanwhile wnet with Casillas, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao, Alonso, Khedira, Ronaldo, Ozil, Di Maria a...
FC Barcelona - 4 : 0 - Getafe Highlights
2012-04-11 20:23:00 Barcelona - Getafe 4-0 Highlights HD 10.04.2012 by iNfRaS0NiC
FC Barcelona - 4, Getafe - 0
2012-04-10 22:59:00 FC Barcelona has cut the lead at the top to a mere one point following their victory against Getafe at Camp Nou tonight. Two goals from Sanchez, one each from Messi and Pedro gave Barca a deserving 4-0 victory, more importantly all the three points. It was a totally dominating performance and the 4-0 scoreline was a bit of understatement for the chances we created. It was a sweet revenge for Barca players and fans as Getafe was one of the two team who had defeated Barca in La Liga this season. The club had confirmed earlier that Abidal's liver transplatation operation has already started and is expected to last eight hours. Guardiola went in with a three man defense - Puyol, Mascherano and Adriano. Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi and Messi formed the midfield. Pedro, Sanchez and Cuenca formed the attacking trio. The line up was a bit strange as we had four attackers in the starting line-up.We showed our attacking intend right from the start. In the 2nd minute Busquest came close to making ...
FC Barcelona to face Chelsea as expected in Champions League Semi-Final
2012-04-05 07:24:00 When the draw was made last month in Lyon, everyone expected a Barca vs Chelsea match up in the semi-final. Now with both the teams winning their respective Quarter Final ties, that expectation has turned into reality. In normal circumstances players try to underplay past issues, results and other facts into the build up to one of the most important matches of the season. But it looks like the wounds of that dramatic night at Stamford Bridge which was turned on it's head by a Iniesta screamer is yet to be healed for many Chelsea players. I have always maintained that we were pretty lucky to have not conceded atleast two penalties that night. I have heard many of fellow cules arguing that Henry should have had a penalty in the first leg. There is some merit in the argument but as the saying goes "Two wrongs don't make a right", that argument can only be used for the sense of arguing. Chelsea were hard done by refereeing decisions that night and it is normal that their fans and play...
FC Barcelona - 2, Atletic Bilbao - 0
2012-04-01 00:00:00 FC Barcelona maintained their pressure on La Liga leaders with a brilliant 2-0 victory at home against Atletic Bilbao. Iniesta opened the scoring in the first half and Messi secured the three points when he calmy finished off a penalty in the second half.With Real Madrid winning at Osasuna, we were nine points away from League Leaders. So anything less than a win was not good for Guardiola's boys. Guardiola once again started Xavi keeping the Milan clash in mind. The midfield had BUsquets, Thiago and Iniesta. The front three were made up of Tello, Sanchez and Messi. The back four had Alves, Mascherano, Pique and Puyol. Atletic started Muniain and Llorente off the bench.In the 5th minute Alves thundered a long range effort which was punched away Bilbao keeper, the rebound fell to Tello who played the ball to Pique - whose expensive volley attempt just went wide. In the 7th minute Thiago slotted the ball into the goal but was rightly ruled offside. In the 23rd minute Thiago played in...
Lionel Messi Creates History; FC Barcelona - 5, Granada - 3
2012-03-20 23:00:00 FC Barcelona cut the lead on the top of the league to five points with a rather scrappy 5-3 win. Real madrid will have a chance to extend the lead, but for the time being we are five points below them. A hat-trick from Lionel Messi and one each from Xavi and Tello gave us a a deserving victory. It was a bit scrappy in some sense - we lead 2-0 with Granada completely out of the picture, then let them come back and make teh scoreline 2-2 but we woke up enough to finish off the game. All the eyes were on Messi building into this match. A recently conducted study has revealed that Cesar, the club's official top scorer has only scored 232 goals instead of the earlier believed 235. That meant Messi needed only one more goal to equalise that tally. The starting eleven selected by Guardiola was Valdes, Alves, Pique, Puyol, Adriano, Keita, Thiago, Xavi, Sanchez, Messi and Cuenca. Barca players lined up with "Fabrice. We are with you" T-Shirt showing their support for the Bolton player Fabri...
FC Barcelona to meet AC Milan in UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals
2012-03-16 13:07:00 FC Barcelona will meet AC MIlan in the 2011-12 Champions League Quarter Final. The first leg of the tie will be held on the 28th of March at San Siro and the return leg will be held at Camp Nou on 3rd of April. It is second time Barcelona is drawn to meet the defending Serie A Champions. We have already met in the group stages this year, with we winning one match and drawing the other. For me, this is one tie I wanted to avoid as there is too much coincidence between Inter scenario a season ago. The best part of the draw is that we will play the second leg at home. But remembering that night in San Siro against inter, it now becomes paramount to play our heart out at San Siro this time around. Among the other draws, Real Madrid is the one who got one of the easiest draws. Our arch-rivals will play APOEL with the first leg taking place in Cyprus. The other Quarter Finals are Benfica vs Chelsea and Marseille vs Bayern Munich.Not only the draws of Quarter Finals were made today at Nyon...
Five Star Messi Takes FC Barcelona to UCL Quarter Final; FC Barcelona - 7,
2012-03-07 23:05:00 FC Barcelona simply blew off Leverkusen at a brilliant night at the Camp Nou. The 7-1 victory has to be a stern message to all our challengers in Europe this season. With a 3-1 away lead we were almost there in the quarter final. But following last night's Arsenal's comeback against Milan, there were some nerves. But the team simply blasted those. In the end we won 10-2 on aggregate. It was a record breaking night. Lionel Messi who was rested in the weekend cam roaring scoring five in the night. Tello who made his debut scored twice to complete the 7-1 scoreline. This is Barca's biggest victory in UEFA Champions League. Messi became the first player to score five goals in a single Champions League match. He right now has 12 goals from 7 matches in this Champions League, equalling his last season tally. Puyol and Abidal were ruled out for the match. So we had Adriano, Mascherano, Pique and Alves in defense. Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi made the midfield. The front trio were Pedro, M...
FC Barcelona - 3, Sporting Gijon - 1
2012-03-03 22:07:00 FC Barcelona managed to reduce the lead on top of the table to seven points with a brilliant 3-1 victory against Sporting Gijon. For a Barca fan it was a memorable victory as we had to play the entire second half with ten man following Pique's expilsion. Iniesta gave us the lead in the first half, Gijon equalised after Pique's send off but Keita restored the lead with a magical goal and Xavi completed the scoreline. With Busquets and Messi suspended and Abidal injured, Guardiola had to re-shuffle a bit. The defense had Adriano, Mascherano, Pique and Alves. Keita played the holding midfielder role flanked by Iniesta and Xavi on either side. The front trio were Cuenca, Fabregas and Pedro. Barca were on the task from the word go. In the 2nd minute Pedro shot wide from a corner after doing brilliantly to lose his marker. In the 8th minute Pedro had the ball in the back of net after some brilliant excahnges between Cesc and Iniesta but was correctly ruled offside. Sporting Gijon was si...

2012-02-28 10:55:00 Debido al xito de asistencia y la gran repercusin que el Mobile World Congress 2012 est teniendo, el comparador de precios de hoteles www.trivago.es ha realizado un estudio para conocer la ocupacin hotelera que estn registrando los hoteles de Barcelona durante la celebracin de este evento internacional. La principal conclusin de este anlisis es que los hoteles de la capital catalana presentan una ocupacin del 97%. Muy pocos hoteles se pueden reservar a travs de internet para visitar la ciudad durante estos das, y los que ofertan disponibilidad, lo hacen a precios muy elevados, con una media de ms de 400 euros por noche y habitacin. Esta media es mucho ms elevada que la que ofrecen los hoteles de Barcelona durante todo el mes.

FC Barcelona - 5 : 1 - Valencia Highlights
2012-02-20 16:46:00 Liga - 24ème journée FC Barcelone 5 - 1 Valence CT by warrant
FC Barcelona - 4, Valencia - 1
2012-02-19 23:32:00 FC Barcelona cut the lead at the top back to ten points with a brilliant 5-1 win against Valencia. Unai Emery's side has always made Barca struggle, but this was completely different. Even though it didn't start well conceding a goal early, but after that it was total domination. We had 27 shots off 13 were at goal. It took some casual finishing and some brilliant Alves goal keeping to keep the scoreline at 5-1. Pablo Piatti scored Valencia's first, we responded through Messi scoring four and Xavi scoring one in the injury time. It looked like the players were simply tired off the tough matches against Valencia and decided to end it with a brilliant performance. We started the match 13 points behind Real Madrid and Valencia was eight point behind us. Both Mascherano and Alves were suspended for this encounter. The line-up selected by Guardiola for the encounter was Valdes, Montoya, Pique, Puyol, Abidal, Busquets, Iniesta, Fabregas, Messi, Sanchez and Pedro.In the 5th min Messi wa...
FC Barcelona seal Place in Copa Del Rey Final; FC Barcelona -2, Valencia -
2012-02-08 23:08:00 FC Barcelona booked their place in the Copa Del Rey final with a 2-0 victory against Valencia at Camp Nou. Goals from Cesc Fabregas and Xavi gave Barca a bit of nervous victory. Now the final will be against Atletic Bilbao, between the two most successful teams in the Copa Del Rey history. It will be kind of a re-match of the 2008-09 Copa Del rey final which we won, hopefully we this one also. Barcelona carried the advantage of the away goal into the match, but a scoreline of 1-1 was very difficult to defend. A victory was the only way we would go through and we exactly just did. Guardiola decided to start Alves from the bench once again like in the first leg. Pinto came back in goal. Pique, Puyol, Mascherano and Abidal formed the four man defense. Thiago, Xavi and Fabregas made the three man midfield. Cuenca, Messia and Sanchez made the front trio.Valencia started the game in their usual fashion pressing us really well in the midfield. Without a holding midfielder we were strugglin...
FC Barcelona wins Laureus World Team of the Year Award
2012-02-07 05:37:00 FC Barcelona was adjudged the World Team of the Year by the Laueres Award comittee, in a grand ceremony held in London. This is the first time FC Barcelona is winning the prestigous award, which in some circles is called "The Osacr of Sporting World". Club president Sandro Rosell received the award for Barca. Two Barcelona players who were in contention for individual honours in the night unfortunately lost out. Lionel Messi, lost out to Novan Djokovic in the World Sportsman of the Year category. The Serbian Tennis No.1, Novan Djokovic now join an esteemed list of Sportsmen, Roger Federer , Tiger Woods, Michael Schumacher, Usain Bolt, Lance Armstrong and Rafael Nadal who all have previously won this award. Many Barca fans believed that Messi will win it this year and seems to have been disappointed big time. But I have predicted this earlier - The Farce called Laueres Award, it was clear from the start that Messi will not win this one. We football fans will be lucky if we see atleas...
De turismo por Barcelona
2012-01-11 13:04:00 Barcelona es sin duda una de las ciudades europeas que mas turistas atrae cada ao. Est bien comunicada (existen centenares de vuelos baratos a Barcelona desde toda Europa) y una de sus mayores atracciones, la Sagrada Familia, est cada vez siendo el reclamo turstico por excelencia. Todos los que vivimos o hemos pasado varias veces por Barcelona hemos visto siempre la misma imagen.

FC Barcelona -4, Osasuna - 0; Messi and Fabregas set up Barca Victory in Co
2012-01-05 00:03:00 FC Barcelona firmly placed their right foot in the next round of Copa del Rey with a 4-0 victroy against Osasuna at the Camp Nou. Now unless a seriously bad loss happens in the return leg, we will be firm favorite to face either Malaga or Real madrid in next round. A frist half brace from cesc Fabregas put Barca on course for a easy victory. Messi who came in the second half completed the tally with two neatly taken goals. Usually after a break we struggle to find our rhythm, but this time around there was no nerves like that. The performance was as clinical as it can get after the holidays. The line up for the first match of 2012 was Pinto, Mascherano, Puyola, Pique, Xavi, Busquets, Thiago, Cesc, Alves , Pedro and Cuenca. The formation was a 3-4-3.The first ten minutes saw we struggling a bit to take control of the possession and was characterised by some un-Barca like sloppy passing. Osasuna was keeping themselves back in their box, closing down any scoring chances. In the 14th mi...
Barcelona: 5 hotels with amazing locations
2012-01-02 10:50:00 By Regina W Bryan in Barcelona— Not all hotels in Barcelona are created equal when it comes to location. While it’s true that some of the cheapest rooms can be found outside of Barcelona’s city center, this isn’t always the case. There are some great hotel deals to be had right in the center of the action. Here are my “Top 5 hotels with amazing locations,” in no particular order: 1. Hostal Galeria Malda Del Pi 5 1/1 Doubles: €20 Read review I’m partial to Malda because I lived right across the street from it for a year on C/ del Pi. This area is about five minutes by foot from Pl. Catalunya, which is where you’re going to come in from the airport if you take the airport bus or train/metro combo. So it’s convenient. However, I don’t recommend hotels that are right on Pl. Catalunya because they are noisy, pricy, and surrounded by touristy restaurants and bars. At Malda you get the close proximity to the center, but also Gothic Quarter charm an...

FC Barcelona Crowned World Club Champions 2011, FC Barcelona - 4, Santos FC
2011-12-18 13:38:00 FC Barcelona were crowned the 2011 World Club Champions following a brilliant 4-0 victory against South American Champions Santos. The battle between the Champiosn of Europe and Champiosn of South America were a mismatch with Barca controlling the proceedings for the majority of match. First half goals from Messi, Xavi and Fabregas put Santos out of the final, Messi completed the tally with another goal in the second half. This is Guardiola's 13th cup victory as the FC Barcelona first team manager, all coming in four seasons. Barcelona have now won three titles this season - UEFA Super Cup, La Liga Super Cup and World Club Championship. With Villa out with injury and Sanchez also unavailable due to a knock, Guardiola went in for a revamped formation. The defense had Alves, Pique, Puyol and Abidal. The midfield had Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets. Thiago, Cesc and Messi made the attacking trio. The presence of 5 midfielders made it very clear that the formation of choice was the 3-4-3. B...
Barca wins, but Loses David Villa; FC Barcelona - 4, Al Sadd - 0
2011-12-15 14:13:00 FC Barcelona booked a place in the final of this year's World Club Championship final against Santos courtesy of an easy 4-0 drubbing of Qatari Club Al Sadd. It was a mismatch from the beginning and the only question was by what margin FC Barcelona will emerge victorious. But the match didn't end up so well for us, with David Villa being substituted midway due to injury. The club has confirmed that the player has suffered a fracture to tibia in the left leg. That could see him out for almost 12 weeks. Coming back to the match Adriano scored twice in the first half and Keita and Maxwell scored in the second half to complete the tally. The final will be held on Sunday.
FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid Clasico Preview
2011-12-09 20:58:00 Less than 24 hours is left for the start of the first edition of this season's "El Clasico" encounter in the La Liga. Usually this would have been the first meeting between the two giants of not only Spanish football, but World Football. But this year they have already met twice in the two legged Super Copa clash and Barca had emerged deserving winners at the time. Since Guardiola took over as manager, the first Clasico has always been played at Camp Nou. That gave Barca the edge to get to the front foot early on. This time FC Barcelona will be visiting Santiago Bernebeu for the first edition. The last time this has happened was in the 2006-07 season, when Barca went down 2-0 and eventually lost the League. But don't worry a year ago Ronaldinho inspired Barcelona mesmerised the Bernebeu crowd with a 3-0 victory and eventually won the League and the Champiosn league. This is Guardiola's third fourth visit to Santiago Bernebeu as a coach and he hasn't tasted defeat in any of those...
FC Barcelona - 5, Levante - 0
2011-12-03 21:52:00 FC Barcelona closed down the lead between them and Real Madrid to six points with a comfortable 5-0 victory against fourth placed Levante. Cesc Fabregas opened the scoring, then doubled it followed by Cuenca, Messi and Sanchez goals gave Barca a comfortable victory at Camp NOu. Now all the focus will shift to next week's Clasico action at Bernebeu. With the El Clasico next week, everyones eye was on the line-up Guardiola was going to employ tonight. Once again Pep Guardiola went with a three mand defense, which could again feature at Bernebeu. Abidal, Mascherano and Puyol made the back three. The midfield had Cesc, Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi. Cuenca, Messi and Sanchez formed the front line. Levante has been in fine form this season and is known to have a very well organised defense and that definitely was the reason why a 3-4-3 formation was employed.Barca went ahead in the third minute from a brilliant finish by Cesc Fabregas. Messi dropped deep and played the ball to Iniesta, who...

FC Barcelona - 4, Real Zaragoza - 0
2011-11-19 21:50:00 FC Barcelona made shot work of the visiting Zaragoza side with a brilliant 4-0 victory at the Camp Nou. With this win, Barca had briefly moved to the top of standing, equalising with Real Madrid, who will be playing Valencia shortly. In a night after the international break, Pique, Messi, Puyol, Villa all scored for Barca. Not only they managed to win the game comfortably, they ensured that the clean sheet at home this season has been stretched to yet another week. We haven't conceded at the Camp Nou in La Liga this season. It was a mismatch from the begining and had it not been the performance of their keeper, the deficit would have been much bigger for Zaragoza. With AC Milan on mind, Guardiola rested a number of players. The defense had Alves, Puyol, Pique and Maxwell. Xavi, Keita and Cesc made the midfield trio. Cuenca got yet another start at the top along with Messi and Sanchez. Ideally Messi would have been rested but with already trailing Real Madrid by three points, Guardi...

They?ve Banned the Bulls At Barcelona. By Barry Pittard
2011-09-28 02:42:00 I have been working on this song - words and music - since yesterday. It sprang from seeing the news reports about the banning of bullfighting in Barcelona, Spain. The incident recalled a repeated discovery of prominent figures in confronting the Sathya Sai Organization. Namely, that when you fight a hard cause, you essentially have to fight it pretty well alone. The crowds may cheer or give thumbs down. But one has to focus on the proper work, and not the pro or anti roars of crowds. And of the disappearance of many people from whom one might have wished to see better. Whether one believes in bullfighting or this or that cause or not, the true pain and joy, those great inseparables, is in the deed, and facing it no less than the worthy matador or bull. Those who dare are too few, and would dare regularly if only they knew the sheer satisfaction of making a stand. My supposition is that the prime activists in the fight for animal rights have far more in common with the matadors t...

DECLARACIN DEL FORO DE BARCELONA ?ESPACIO DE LIBERTAD?
2010-11-09 01:40:00 7 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2010La humanidad es diversa y esta pluralidad, que no puede ser obviada, la enriquece con mltiples perspectivas ticas. No existen ni condena eterna ni fatalismo que nos impidan ampliar los horizontes y las posibilidades de desarrollar una espiritualidad sincera. No hay ningn motivo para renunciar al deseo de que cada ser humano construya su propio camino hacia la felicidad.La laicidad es una dimensin ms del viejo proyecto emancipador que nace con la ilustracin, vinculado a otros esfuerzos por romper las cadenas de la arbitrariedad y la supersticin. La laicidad est impregnada por las luchas por la dignidad humana, como han sido la lucha por los derechos humanos, la justicia social, la emancipacin feminista, el antiracismo, la escuela pblica, por las libertades sexuales yreproductivas, la libertad de investigacin cient?ca, etc.En la medida que la realidad social en Espaa ha evolucionado en los ltimos aos hacia una mayor secularizacin, libertad de cons...
FC Barcelona - 2, FC Copenhagen - 0
2010-10-20 23:01:00 FC Barcelona moved to the top of the Group D with a laboured 2-0 victory against the Danish Cahmpions, Copenhagen. Two strikes from the World Player of the Year, Lionel Messi secured a vital win for Barca. FC Copenhagen had his fair share of chances to equalise in the match and would beruining missing those moments. Xavi who was pretty much doubtful for this match made it into the substitute bench after getting the all clear from Medical staff. But Valdes was ruled out of this tie with fever. That gave Pinto a rare start in Champions League. The defense had the familiar look of Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Alves. Guardiola decided to employ an ultra defensive midfield with Maxwell, Mascherano and Busquets. The front three were - Iniesta, Villa and Messi.With such a defensive midfield it was clear from the start that any creative spark has to come from way up the pitch. Iniesta and Messi looked to have agreed upon that one of them will drop into midfield all the time. And its no surprise...
FC Barcelona vs FC Copenhagen Preview
2010-10-19 19:52:00 FC Barcelona will be hosting Group D leaders FC Copenhagen tomorrow night at the Camp Nou. FC Kbenhavn has found themselves clear on the top of group with two wins from their two matches. When the draw was made everyone expected FC Barcelona and Rubin Kazan to go throigh this group. I thought FC Kbenhavn was the real weak link, but they have proven me wrong. Following the inability to win in Moscow, this is a must win match for us. A failure to win this one complicates the entire qualifying campaign. Guardiola has plenty of injury woriies to ponder on. Gabriel Milito has been ruled out for two weeks, Xavi's injury most propbably will see him miss this clash and there is also doubt about Puyol's participation. If Puyol misses out on today's match, we could see once again Abidal moving into central defense. Add to that the average form of Pique in last few matches, it is definitely a worrying prospect. Xavi's injury looks more serious for me and it may not be a bad idea to rest ...
FC Barcelona - 2, Valencia - 1; Great Comeback Win for Barca
2010-10-16 22:04:00 FC Barcelona produced a stunning second half display to come back from a goal down to win one of the most important match this season. After being outplayed throughout the first half, Barca came out roaring in the second hal. Iniesta and Puyol scored for Barca to negate Pablo's first half strikes. It was quite a night, first seeing we being outplayed and then we playing an absoluetly brilliant second half. For once I got my predictions spot on. Guardiola promised he would start with both Xavi and Iniesta for this match and he very well did the same. We ahd Keita, Xavi and Busquets in the middle. Iniesta partnered with Villa and Messi upfront. The defense had Puyol, Pique, Alves and Maxwell.Valencia dominates Baca completelyGuardiola started with Messi in the centre, Villa on left and Iniesta on right. The biggest problem this season is that Busquets is been played pretty deep and this is forcing Iniesta to drop into midfield. So for the majority of the hal we played with no one up ...
FC Barcelona vs Valencia Preview
2010-10-15 21:10:00 Any other season, I would have preferred the prospect of facing Valencia at home over a clash at the Mestella. But with our home form this season, I am not so sure about this one. To make matters worse this one comes straight after an international break. Our performances after a break has always been a head-ache. There is no doubt where the footbaling world will be concentrated this weekend. But I would be keeping a close eye to see how the newly laid pitch behaves. The Camp Nou pitch has been a big dissappointment since the start of this season and the Mallorca clash saw the worst of it. Luckily the staffs used the international break to lay the new pitch and I hope it holds firm. As for Valencia is concerned, they have their own issues to prove. This is their first test to see whetehr they can realistically carry on the hope of winning the titles. This will be a match that could make them from Pretenders to contenders. Valencia's last visit to Cam Nou ended with Messi bagging a ...
Barca drops Points again at Home-FC Barcelona-1, Mallorca-1
2010-10-03 21:19:00 FC Barcelona failed to take three points from yet another home match. At this point in the season , we have only one win at home and that too a 1-0 victory against Sporting Gijon. The poor state of Camp Nou pitch can definitely be blamed for this poor form but tonight it was a case of we getting blocked by a stubborn defense. Our defending especially against aerial threats has been pretty poor this seasona and that gifted Mallorca the equaliser after Messi put us in the lead. The failure to win this game put us 4 points behind the leaders Valencia. With the absence of both Xavi and Villa, Guardiola was forced to make some changes. As expected Messi, Bojan and Pedro formed the attacking trio with Messi playing a false centre forward. Iniesta, Mascerao and keita formed the midfield. The defnse had Pique, Milito, Abidal and Alves. FC Barcelona dominates from the startFC Barcelona dominated the entire half. Messi put us ahead in the 21st minute but Mallorca equalised with their first a...
FC Barcelona vs Mallorca Preview
2010-10-02 18:59:00 FC Barcelona will be missing two of their biggest stars while they prepare to take on Real Mallorca at the Camp Nou. Xavi hernandez, Barca Vice-Captain has been injured and will miss this match. David Villa also will be missing this mathc courtesy of the needless red card he picked up against Athletic Bilbao. FC Barcelona's title defense will be officially back on track after that dissappointing lose against Hercules. We had two very difficult away match after that and the team has made us all proud with very hard working performances. Mallorca's last visit to Camp Nou ended for them in a 4-2 defeat. This time around also it is going to be a very difficult travel for them. At home they had been brilliant this season so far, but the same cannot be said about their away matches. Barca meanwhile will be looking to get back to winning ways after their draw at Rubin kazan. That draw was never a bad result, but still the momentum of winning has to be regained. With the absence of Xavi a...
David Villa Strikes to Defeat Gijon, FC Barcelona - 1, Sporting Gijon - 0
2010-09-22 22:07:00 David Villa struck in the second half to help FC Barcelona defeat his former club at the Camp Nou. With Real Madrid winning yesterday this three points has to be considered more than valuable. After a goal-less first half, Villa struck ealry in second half to down a team with whom he tasted his first success. This was no way considered a clinical performance nor the usual silky and controlled Barca style, but still as I mentioned it is still three points won. We struggled to impose ourselves and that emphasized the importance of messi in the side. Xavi and Iniesta were once again below par and that is what worrying me the most. If they both are playing well then they will create chances for all, but that wasn't the case. Guardiola reshuffled his defense a bit - Milito and Puyol formed the centre of defense with Alves and Maxwell on the flanks. Busquets once again played the semi-DM, semi-CB role with Xavi and Keita completing the midfield. As expected Iniesta moved forward to provi...
Barcelona recibe al Hércules y Madrid al Osasuna
2010-09-10 01:53:00 Barcelona y Real Madrid retomarán el duelo por La Liga este fin de semana. El Madrid jugará en casa ante el siempre peligroso Osasuna y por el otro lado será el recién ascendido Hércules el que visite a los vigentes campeones al Nou Camp.
