AC Milan secured a gutsy 2-2 draw against Barcelona thanks to goals in the first and final
seconds of an absorbing match at the Nou Camp.

League history, only for Pedro RodrÃguez and David Villa to reply either side of half-time.

It has been a tough week for FC Barcelona. A 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad last Saturday and a
2-2 draw against AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday. Both matches they dominated the first
half but took their foot of the throttle in the second allowing both sides to get back into the
match and pull out a draw in the closing minutes.
FC Barcelona shaken off their recent poor result with an absolute 8-0 mauling of Osasuna at Camp
Nou. After the two rather unfortunate draws, somebody had to pay and unfortunately Osasuna was on
the fire line. And they did pretty bad. Messi scored three goal, Villa two goal, Cesc and Xavi
scored one each and also there was an unfortunate own goal from Roversio.
FC Barcelona continued their excellent home run in 2011-12 La Liga season with a 5-0 victory
against the high flying Atletico Madrid. With this victory FC Barcelona moved to second place in
the La Liga standing. David Villa opened the scoring for Barca, followed by an own goal from
Miranda and three brilliant goals from Messi gave Barca a comfortable victory, which is Barca's
fifth in a row against the same side.
The image is burnt into your memory. Lionel Messi kicking a microphone after scoring against Van
Der Sar, David Villa curling into the top corner, and watching Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez
sit on the pitch in utter despair while Abidal lifts the giant trophy. Yes, the Champions League
final may just have been 4 [.
