around. With this heavy defeat Atletico's start to the season has gone from bad to worse. First
half goals from Ibrahmovic, Messi, Alves and Keita, and an injury time strike from Messi condemned
Atletico's to their heaviest defeat this season.
Diego Maradona's term as Argenita's coach ran into deep trouble after his side lost a vital home

Coming off a midweek draw in the Champions League against Inter Milan there was question as to
how the team would react with only a few days rest. The answer, very well.

Saturday's match to his right foot.
FC Barcelona continued their excellent run in the league with a 4-1 demolition of Racing Santander
at El Sardinero stadium. Two goals from Messi and one each from Ibrahmovic and Pique was enough to
see Barca comfortably past Racing. Like the weekend it was a sensational first half display which
put Barca in command.

youngster Gai Assulin to be named to the first team roster.
Ok, there are some serious good news - not like all the news till now was bad. But this one sounds
so good - Milito is back in training. There is no date set for his return but still it is good to
hear that we may be able to count on his service maybe in the latter part of the season. And that
is a very good news to the build up of the Racing clash.
