Real Madrid mouthpiece Marca has officially become El Sun. The Madrid rag relegated the news of Lio
Messi winning the Balon D'Or on their front page to mentioning that the Merengue players were
attacked by "an organized group of fans"with lasers. This affected both Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe.
Bojan and Toure are two contarsting case. One is eager to prove his talent but has no oppurtunity
and the other one has showed the world his worth but still won't get a decent playing time. It
wasn't a secret that Guardiola never preferred Yaya Toure as the defensive midielder in his setup.
There's no rest for Barca as they continue the campaign to defend their Liga title, as they're set
to face Deprtivo La Coruña tonight. The boys departed earlier today for Coruña, but just-in
reports are that the team's plane had to return to El Pratt airport in Barcelona due to technical
problems - hopefully whatever's going on will be cleared up in time for the boys to make their
match.
FC Barcelona retained their lead at top of five points with a 3-1 comfortable victory against
Deportivo at the Riazor. Messi gave Barca a deserving lead in the 27th minute but Deportivo
equalised in the 39th minute. Secons half goals from Messi and Ibrahmovic then gave Barca a truly
deserving victory.
The final step of Barca's qualification to the Champions League last sixteen has them up against
Dynamo Kiev, with a simple draw being sufficient to ensure that the Blaugrana go on to the next
round. And we're more than certain that the boys will come off with an even score at the very
least!
Pep comes into this match with a nineteen man squad that includes Chygrynskiy even though he's not
allowed to participate in Cl matches with Barca this season; it seems he's along to celebrate with
the boys upon their qualification.
Johan Cruyff made his first callup for the Catalunya select side and it is a team that would be
a World Cup contender in South Africa.
The former Dream Team boss called up 20 players from various teams in Spain and Europe to take
part in the international friendly that will take place at the Nou Camp on December 22th against
Argentina.
This week was full of massive games, every major league had at least two gigantic clashes,
providing for spectacular footy for all us fans to watch.
Barcelona-Real Madrid EL CLASICO
An extremely important game for both teams, Real Madrid wanted to solidify their lead over
Barcelona, while the Blaugrana wanted to catch up to Los Blancos.
Barca toil on through the season, and the next ones to move past are newly promoted Xerez. Keep in
mind that ex-Barca hottie Victor Sanchez plays for them now after the club sold him last summer
albiet with a buy-back option... we're getting pretty used to seeing former Masia boys up against
us, they're scattered over half the Liga teams.
FC Barcelona will be looking to preserve their five point advantage against Real Madrid by the end
of this week. Even though Real has a match on hand the five point lead could assert enormous
pressure on them. Gerrard Pique and Busquets has been included in the squad after their last match
absence.
If FC Barcelona manage tp avoid a defeat by two goals or more against Dynamo Kiev, they will
qualify for the knockout stage of this year's Champions league. With the victory against Inter,
Barca leads the group by two points. But that will count for nothing if they lose at Kiev by two
goals or more.
- First and foremost: congrats to Leo Messi for officially recieving his well-deserved Ballon D'or,
and looking hot doing it! More pictures at the bottom.
- Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is dreaming of signing Bojan come the winter transfer period. And
he'll continue to do just that: dream. In more agreeable transfer reports, the club is said to be
after David Silva.
Catalonia head coach Johan Cruyff has included Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas in
his squad for the friendly against Argentina later this month against the wishes of Arsene
Wenger.
However, the Arse are under no obligation to release their skipper as Catalonia are not
recognised by FIFA.
FC Barcelona are through to the final of the FIFA World Club Cup after coming from a goal down to
defeat Mexico's Atlante 3-1 in the semi-fnals of the tournament earlier today. Barca's Sergio
Busquets, Lionel Messi and Pedro responded to Guillermo Rojas's surprise opener for the Mexicans in
a dominant performance and will face South [.

FC Barcelona booked their place in the finals of 2009 World Club Cup by beating CONCAAF Champions
Atlante 3-1. Barca went down a goal down as early in the fifth minute but strikes from busquest,
Messi and Pedro helped Barca to a more than comfortable win. We will now meet South American
Champions Estudiantes in the final.

Cup final. Barca got goals from Sergio, Messi and Pedro. Pedro has noe scored in six different
competitions this year, a new record.

El Atlante al minuto 4 de juego por conducto de Rojas hacía soñar al Atlante, tuvieron mas
oportunidades y el fallo es lo que marca la diferencia principal, entre muchas otras.
Al minuto 35 terminó el sueño, Busquets anotaba el empate, en la segunda parte al inciar, al 52
ingresa Messi, al 54, colocaba el 2 a1 que los Atlantistas solo lo vieron pasaron fueron
espectadores, al 66 Pedro colocaba el definitivo 3 a 1.
Barcelonas xmas came early when news filtered through that their bid for
Manchester Citys forward
Robinho had been rejected. The euforia
surrounding Barcas sextruplet must have gone to
Laportas head as he made Man City
an offer for their record signing.
