unfortunate for messi, seems like he will be out for 3 weeks, missing 3 league matches and 1 CL game, stilll not 100% sure though.
good time to show people Barca is not a 1 man team.

they are a one man team..but that one man isn't messi, it's xavi

^ Are you sure ? I think It could even be more Just look at the pictures looks horrible the injury !

holy shit that looks terrible
but no, its not a big injury, the official site says he hasn't broken any bones, he will miss AT LEAST 2 matches.
There are not too difficult games ahead so it shouldn't be a problem!

just gained a lot of respect for arsene wenger.

“With that game (El Clasico), they said ‘everybody, we are the super-favourites’ and the team which wants to win this competition has to knock us out’. That is what they said. And it was the case last year. I believe that when they played Inter last year they were physically going down. They were unlucky with some decisions too. In the first game they had some penalties turned down and in the next game they scored a regular second goal. People say Inter beat them but Barca lost it.”

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reveals how he sees this year’s chase for the Champions League crown.

I dont know whether to be happy or sad, one of the reasons I love Barca is because its unique "Mes Que Un Club" and they are the only club in the world that have never got paid for a sponsor on their shirt instead they pay UNICEF!
Now it seems Sandro Rossel wants to take advantage of amazing popularity Barca has gained in past few years and get a sponsor for the team. This means more resources for the team, which makes good business sense but then Barca will lose its tradition. I got mixed feelings.
Apparently the sponsor is from Qatar, and will pay 180 million euros for 6 years!!

I'm opposed to all this. I know its a money making opportunity but I've always loved and respected that Barca doesn't "sell out"

true, at least we will still have UNiCef on our shirt.
I can imagine how difficult it must have been for Rossel to forget about this shirt sponsor offer. Its a record sponsorship deal!

5-0 against Real Sociedad too
2 for Messi he is the top scorer now ahead of Christiano.
Lets hope fkinbg stinky Espnayol doesn't stop the party next week.

Half of the season is done and barcelona took the lead with 4points ahead of Real madrid with their win today against malaga 4-1
Affelay amazing player he had his first start in la liga with barcelona today he came in for iniesta and played really well . Now we know if ever one day iniesta decides to retire this kid from Ajax could take his place !
I'm actually jealous since I really liked the player and wanted him to play in a English club like Manchester united but he suits with Barcelona he got the skills , technique and same style of play with them !

It was pretty funny also Real tied Almeria 1-1 when barcelona beat them 8-0 LOL !

[shayan20]

^Affelay didn't start, he came on late in the game once again. Thats Pep's way of accommodating young players in the first team. Looks like a promising player but long way to put him in one sentence with Iniesta.
Another great win today, first half was just great, could have been 6-0, Malaga was better in 2nd, the 5 new players they got all started, they look promising. More Spanish teams need to get quality players in their team so they cause more trouble against the top2.

Oh Man Delam khonak shod , seeing Ronaldo's face as he struck that freekick against the crossbar in the dying minutes, he downplayed Barca after the 8-0 win against Almeria, now his team coulnt even win there let alone score 8 LOL
Messi gotta start scoring hattricks if he wants to keep up with Ronaldo for the Pichichi award.

anyone know anything about Alvez's hamstring injury he went off in 1st for Adriano, hope he's ok.

[PouriaAkaBarut]

^ What I meant was that his first game to play for Barcelona , and obviously its to early to even talk about him replacing iniesta since he will be there as long as he could with the amazing skills he got I don't see anybody else that could replace him . But he did his job really well in that position I mean he even almost scored at the end I'm pretty sure if he had an extra 10min he could have scored his first ever goal in la liga !

about Dani alvez it looked like a knee injury but I have no news about whats his current situation .

going back to real madrid game , to be honset with you it was a unfair call since the ref didn't give the penalty with the 2nd freekick . The handball was clearly inside the ball specially since it was the ref himself who placed the wall so you can't really get a wrong call on that one seriously !
but its always priceless to see Cristiano face missing these things lool

[PouriaAkaBarut]

Btw talking about a barca fan hein lool

[shayan20]

Alvez will miss a fortnight of action, not too many important games thats good plus Adriano is a great replacement for Alvez. He will be back by Arsenal game

Pouria, they won so many points with ref favors they shouldnt even complain like Mou did
