Sorry, but it’s true.
I think it’s only logical to consider this Barcelona squad in the argument of the best club teams off all-time. The others to be considered, in my eyes, are Milan in the late 80’s, Manchester United 98/99, Bayern Munich in the mid-70’s, Ajax of the early 70’s, and Liverpool of the late 70’s. In the [...]
Real Madrid showed they can win without their two big name summer signings after they dispatched Valencia 3-2 away yesterday. Ronaldo was suspended due to his red card last weekend, and Kaka was out due to injury, but Gonzalo Higuain netted a brace in the action packed second half, where all five goals were scored [...]
The champions show their class again, moving five points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table. Barca took care of Deportivo 3-1 today, getting a brace from Messi and having 72% of possession during the process. Barcelona play the most attractive football on the planet, along with Arsenal, but the [...]
After Barcelona’s victory today, is there any doubt who will win La Liga? The scoreline only read 1-0, and it took a neat and tidy volley from Zlatan Ibrahimovic to win it, but Barcelona had nearly 70% of possesion versus a team that includes Ronaldo, Kaka, and Xabi Alonso. Barca were also able to [...]
Finally, Christmas has arrived! By Christmas, I mean Barcelona v. Real Madrid, Round One. Tomorrow at noon, the biggest club match in the world takes place in Cataluna, as Real Madrid travel to the Nou Camp to take on European and Spanish champions, Barca. According to Sid Lowe’s article in the Guardian, fans [...]
Barcelona are worried over the injury that forced Lionel Messi out of yeterday’s 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola has said that Messi was replaced due to discomfort, but that more tests will be run today, and the outlook is not good. The timing of a serious injury for Messi could [...]
Real Madrid sit atop La Liga after they beat Racing Santander 1-0, while Barcelona drew at Athletic Bilbao 1-1. Madrid played their tenth straight match without Cristiano Ronaldo, but Gonzalo Higuain’s goal in the 22nd minute was enough for the new Galaticos. Barcelona traveled to Bilbao, and in front of the fiery home crowd, Athletic [...]
A new rumor has surfaced that Barcelona are prepared to offer Yaya Toure and Bojan Krkic in exchange for Cesc Fabregas next summer. Read more at goal.com.
This deal might actually make some sense. Fabregas is a product of the Barcelona youth academy, and a move to Barca would allow him to play with Spanish national [...]
Could it be? It appears that Barcelona are ready to make a move for Manchester City striker Robinho, and are willing to offer Thierry Henry in return. Barcelona pulled another similar move over the summer, sending Samuel Eto’o and $69 million to Inter Milan. Barcelona also loaned Alexander Hleb to Inter, all for the services [...]
Barcelona look to be preparing a January bid for Manchester City’s Robinho, and follow that up with a summer transfer-window bid for Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas. Robinho would be a great pick-up for Barca in January, as he is not European cup tied, as City are not in the Champions League or Europa League. Barca coach, [...]
New Inter Milan striker, Samuel Eto’o is asking for around $5 million from Barcelona. Eto’o believes that he is entitled to 15% of his transfer, as a rule exists that states a player in Spain is entitled to 15% of his transfer fee if he moves to another club in Spain. The one snag in [...]
These guys could beat Brazil ‘70. And Messi is God.
**Click on the scores in the ‘Same Match’ tab for the other goals. Watch Barca’s fourth, please.**
Barcelona rolls again. All of these goals are fastastic.
If you’re looking at the league table, this match looks like a 4-0 Barcelona win. After all, Barca are top of the league, and Atletico Madrid are sitting in 18th place, with only one point from their first two matches. But, Atleti have their backs against the wall, and this team is strong enough to [...]
Liverpool boss, Rafa Benitez has told midfielder, Javier Maschersano, that he must show loyalty if he wants to continue as a Liverpool player. By loyalty, Benitez means that Mascherano must put behind him Argentina’s World Cup qualifying struggles, and Barcelona’s ever-present interest in obtaining him in one of the upcoming transfer windows. Read more about [...]
Ibrahimovic and Messi hit the scoresheet.
Cesc Fabregas has opened up the door to leave Arsenal and has attracted the interest of Spain’s biggest clubs in the process. Fabregas claims that he doesn’t know what team he’ll be part of next season, but dismisses any ideas that he already has an agreement in place with Barcelona. It would make sense for [...]
Apparently, Rio Ferdinand is prepared to follow former Manchester United players David Beckham, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Gabriel Heinze, and Cristiano Ronaldo to Spain. The Sun is reporting that Ferdinand is ready to head to Spain, not just for football, but also to promote his many business ventures. The move makes sense for Ferninand, but it [...]
Apparently, the rumors swirling around Robinho might have a little bit of validity to them. I heard some news yesterday that Bacelona were going to make an offer to Manchester City for Robinho, and then the little guy comes out and confirms that he would be interested in moving to Spain, saying, “who wouldn’t want [...]
