  • Barcelona vs Real Madrid – El Clasico in Recent Seasons

    Just one more match left (Real Madrid in the Champions League) and both teams (Barcelona as well) will be fully immersed in the first La Liga Clasico this season, the last of 2012, another six-Clasico calendar year. It’s not about revenge, they say at the Camp Nou, it’s simply about winning.

  • 7 Moments of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

    In an interview with El Pais, leading off to yet another Clasico week, Lionel Messi spoke a little bit about, well, everything from Barcelona to Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho and even taking possible little jabs at Cristiano Ronaldo, to set the mood right for the biggest club match in Spain and the world.

  • FC Barcelona – Cesc Fabregas Covers for Lionel Messi

    In truth, if it wasn’t for the referee, Barcelona wouldn’t have won at Sevilla. Cesc Fabregas would have never scored two goals, David Villa couldn’t have scored the winning goal and most of the focus would have gone to Lionel Messi having his worse game of the season, left goalless for the second consecutive time.

  • 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.

  • FC Barcelona – Keeping Xavi Forever

    After more than 600 matches, it’s only natural that Xavi signs one more contract that promises he’ll end his career with Barcelona, the only club he’s ever played for, unless you count the B team during his first few years as a footballer.

  • FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Has Seen Better Days

    Another less than impressive display for Barcelona at the Camp Nou, frustrated by Granada for 87 minutes before Xavi scored the goal that gave them another three points, with Lionel Messi and David Villa grabbing most of the attention in a dull football match, getting into a heated exchange during the first half.

  • Lionel Messi to Stay with FC Barcelona Forever

    Lionel Messi has his current contract with Barcelona running till 2016, but it seems that the club aren’t waiting till the last minute or even close to that to renew it once more and improve his conditions (meaning salary) and prolong his future with the club.

  • FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi is Great; What About the Rest

    Sometimes, it’s just a matter of luck, and Spartak Moscow, who defended for most of the match with 11 players in their own box, were a tad lucky to score two goals against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. But it would be lying to say that everything is fine in the Barca defense, and that Lionel Messi saving the day with two second half goals is going to work every time.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Barcelona After Tim Krul

    Buying a goalkeeper for the future isn’t the same as for a different position, especially when it comes to the age of a prospect. Tim Krul is 24, but the Newcastle United keeper has drawn the attention of Barcelona scouts, looking to bring in a new backup for Victor Valdes and maybe someone who can replace him in a number of years.

  • 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.
