  • FC Barcelona – Already Thinking About Real Madrid Clasico

    While Barcelona have a very tough visit at Sevilla this weekend in their attempt to keep the perfect start to the La Liga season intact, it seems most of their players are already thinking a week ahead, towards the Clasico match against Real Madrid.

  • Real Madrid – Jose Mourinho Blaming no one but his Players

    One of the reasons Jose Mourinho is so popular among his players in every team he manages is how he backs them up. After winning only one match in the first four of the season in the Spanish La Liga, following the 1-0 loss in Sevilla by playing in the Champions League against Manchester City, the special/only one isn’t taking the criticism on himself anymore.

  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Has What to be Sad About

    The La Liga table isn’t lying – Real Madrid are 10th, and will be in the bottom half by the end of game-week 4, losing their second match of the season in Sevilla against a team that simply played with more fire and more guts than the champions did, exemplified by Cristiano Ronaldo having a bad day (again) while being outplayed by a Brazilian right back, Cicinho, that marked him for most of the match.

  • FC Barcelona – Winning Back David Villa

    Quite a few people have said that Barcelona’s biggest signing this summer was getting back David Villa from his long injury. So far, he hasn’t been given too many chances, but has scored twice, including in the 4-1 away win at Getafe, in the off-the-bench opportunities he has recieved. For everything else, there’s Lionel Messi.

  • Real Madrid Now 8 Points Behind Barcelona in Spanish La Liga

    Four matches into the season, and Real Madrid are 8 points behind the league leaders, Barcelona. In Spain, that means they’re pretty much not allowed to lose anymore points in this title race, already losing two matches, something that took them an entire season last year to accumulate.

  • FC Barcelona – Cesc Fabregas Finding His Place

    Contrary to popular belief, Cesc Fabregas played quite a lot for Barcelona last season. He featured in 28 league matches and 48 all together, scoring 15 goals and adding 20 assists. Not bad for a player who always feels left out due to the presence of Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi.

  • FC Barcelona – Figuring Out What to do With Cesc Fabregas

    Unhappiness, for various reasons, happens for people who play for Barcelona as well. A rising face of frustration in recent weeks is Cesc Fabregas, who has started in all three La Liga matches for the club but found himself substituted in all of them, making him feel unsatisfied with his current role at the club.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo – Really Sad, Really Wants to Leave, or Simply Wants More Money?

    The whole ‘Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Real Madrid’ issue won’t drop from the news, and probably for good reason. When one of the two biggest football stars in the world is suddenly unhappy while throwing only hints around as for the reason, it’s bound to takeover the newsreel in any country that loves and cares about the sport.

  • FC Barcelona – When Lionel Messi Has a Bad Day

    For the first time this season, Lionel Messi didn’t score. Barcelona managed to make it without his goals, backed by a stunning long range shot by Adriano to give them the 1-0 lead over Valencia, but for once, the best player in the world didn’t even have a decent match.
