be favorites to combat the Rossoneri to the Scudetto, it was not the case.

Guardiola decided to give Andres Iniesta his first start of the season up front. From the beginning
moments of the match Barcelona looked sluggish and off their game. Without Iniesta in the middle

Morelia was one of the surprise teams out of the gate in the Mexican Primera División's Apertura,
but as Miguel Sabah (who had five goals in his first three matches) has cooled off, so have the

Since then (and before last night), a previously perfect Morelia lost two consecutive games and
lost their league lead.
