With 2008 just around the corner, a new wave of young players look poised to mark their mark on the
European stage over the next 12 months. Below is a selection of promising youngsters who are set to
rise to prominence in the second half of the 07/08 season, and beyond.
Samir Nasri (Age: 20, Olympique Marseille, Attacking Midfield, France)
"The new Zinedine Zidane".
Against Lyon, a great European side, Barca's 3-man forward line had an average age of 20.
Eto'o wasn't quite fit enough yet, Henry's body had finally given out after playing
continuously while not 100% fit, and Ronaldinho was on the bench. Andres Iniesta, 23;
Lionel Messi, 20; and Bojan Krkic, 17, a forward line crafted in the Barca youth
academies, led the line in their stead.

Any other team might be pleased to win 3-0 (especially with most players coming off two
international appearances) and gain some distance on our rivals at the top of the table, but as
always, Barca are our own greatest enemy. It feels like forever since I've done one of my rambling,
player-by-player match reports, so here goes.
Yes, after much procrastinating, I've finally written the long-overdue post welcoming the new
signings to the club, including 2 'graduates' from the B team.
"Pressure? Pressure is what you feel when you're about to die or when you might go to
jail; when you have no money, no food. But feeling the pressure while playing soccer? I've been
playing since I was 17.
When I revamped the blog (what do you think, tidier to look at now?), I decided to link to Spanish
sports dailies Marca and (Barcelona-based/biased) El Mundo Deportivo, along with the football
section of El Pais, the big general daily, but not AS or Sport. A blind monkey can see that AS are
in the Barca-baiting business, so there's no sense in a Barcelona-focused blog linking to that, ah,
fine publication (I once saw it referred to as 'reputable Spanish daily AS' and nearly died
laughing) which doesn't at all make up crazy rumours.
I don't think I need to write a match report - it was the same old problems, after all. That's the
depressing part, although I'd argue that it's far from crisis time just yet. The team are in an
awkward position right now with a string of tough matches coming up that they have to get results
in, but if they can't rise to the challenge then they don't deserve to compete for any silverware
anyway.
Barcelona 3-0 LyonPositives
- 3 points against arguably our most difficult rival in the group
- Messi continues to improve all aspects of his game
- Henry really needed that goal
- Great to see Giovani and Bojan get their Champions League debut
- That defence: Zambrotta-Marquez-Milito-Abidal.
