October…​

Barcelona vs Almeria​

(Liga BBVA)​

Kick off 22:00​

Well the game started brightly with both teams having some chances in the first 10 minutes of the game, in the 25th minute of the game Barca finally got the goal they wanted after some team work. Villa, having put Messi straight on goal, made a run into the box and having received a pass from Messi after he got past the keeper tapped it to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic had no defenders around him; Barca 1, Almeria 0. With just one goal in it Almeria equalized after half time through Ortiz, at the same time the super sub came on. He didn't make a difference, 1-1.​

1-1​

View attachment 104136​

MoM- Messi

The winger set up a goal today and did his job on the wing.​

Barcelona vs Mallorca​

(Liga BBVA)​

Kick off 19:00​

Well with Daniel Alves back in the line up Barcelona are the favorites for this match, Mallorca have a big challenge. With just 2 minutes on the clock Villa opened the scoring after a superb one man run. Just four minutes later Ibrahimovic gave Villa another chance which he converted, 2-0. Villa completed his hatrick in the 32nd minute of the game. Barcelona got a penalty in the 35th minute of the game and Messi stepped up: 4-0. Villa got his fourth after a wonderful through ball by Bale, Villa 4, Barcelona 5. Barcelona went into half time knowing that it will take something special for them to lose. Bojan replaced Ibrahimovic whilst Keita came on for Xavi. In the 74th minute Barcelona received another penalty, Villa stepped up, and missed. Angulo then pulled one back for Mallorca but it was too late. Barcelona won 5-1.​

5-1
View attachment 104139​

MoM- David Villa

Well there is no need to say anything; apart from the penalty he was simply faultless.​

Barcelona vs Inter Milan​

(Champions league)​

Kick off 19:45​

Well this is a big match here between Barca and Inter here at Camp Nou. Both teams have the quality to win and it will be interesting to see who does today. I have to say after the performance last time Barcelona look the more likely side to do so though I am betting on a 2-2 draw. One key fact today is the absence of Eto'o, which could be the difference here today.​

19:20- Welcome to Camp Nou today where two European champions meet, despite this being only the group stages the atmosphere is still fantastic.

19:26- Well some news on the possible transfer activity: Robinho has expressed his desire to leave Manchester City and the most likely destination looks like Milan or Barcelona.

19:33- And we have got the teams:

View attachment 104148​

19:40-Well the players are out, the managers are there too and the scene looks set

19:45-Here we go, Milan to start.


1min-And we are off

2min- First shot of the game as Pandev has a go from outside the area, nice and easy for the keeper.

4min- And here come Barca on the counter attack, Pedro lays one off, Ibrahimovic gets past one he has a pop! Saved- Messi is there GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL, Lionel Messi, who but him to score, he looks delighted, 1-0 Barca.

12min- Pandev receives the ball on the edge of the area, nice defending by Bale-perfect challenge.

17min- Iniesta plays the ball into the box, Messi with the volley, GOAAAAAAAAAAL, Pure inspiration from Messi. 2-0.

24min- Pandev!!! Seems like the only Inter player in the game.

29min- Bale the first booking of the day, yellow card.

40min- Silly challenge from Daniel Alves, yellow card.

44min- Big loss for Inter as Maicon hobbles of, injury is not helping Inter.

45min- Two minutes of injury time.

45min- HALF TIME

Well Messi has been fantastic today in all honesty; I'm surprised about the result so far. Inter have it all to do.​

45min- Hiddink replaces Villa with Bojan and Abidal comes on for Bale.

45min- Barca start the second half with confidence and a 2 goal lead.

53min- Pique is the third Barca player to be booked.

54min- Iniesta has a pop! Half the ground must have thought that was in, Barca going into third gear.

60min- Wonderful play by Inter, good passing around but the attack comes to nothing.

71min- Jeffren comes on for Pedro.

73min- Bojan has a go from outside the box, post… good effort from the youngster.

79min- Ibrahimovic gets a shot on target, Daniel Alves is there, 3-0… oh no sorry the flag is up… free kick Inter.

81min- Ibrahimovic lays one off for Bojan- post once more.

84min- Ibrahimovic passes yet again to Iniesta- Cesar to the rescue.

90min- 4 minutes to go…

90+1min- Good save from Cesar as Bojan tries his luck once more, corner ball.

90+2min- Xavi plays it to Puyol from the corner, header back to Alves. Alves unleashes a shot GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL, what a goal… he runs off to the fans! It's all over for Inter.

90+3min- Motta yellow card.

90min- FULL TIME, BARCELONA 3-0 INTER MILAN.

Well this has been some match, superb game. Barcelona ripped Inter to bits much to my surprise. Messi proved why he is a world class player out there, good game all in all.​

View attachment 104138​

MoM- Messi

Well Messi has really given it all he has got finishing with two goals for his team.​

Barcelona vs Sevilla​

(Liga BBVA)​

Kick off 19:00​

Well this is the first place and the second place meeting each other here, both Barcelona and Sevilla will be looking for a win here. Barcelona will start this game. The first goal of the game came in the 15th minute of the game when a curling shot from outside the area from Xavi found the net, Barcelona ahead. Just 15 minutes later Romaric pulled Sevilla level. Barcelona got their second just a minute later through Ibrahimovic. Injury struck Barcelona just before half time when Bojan had to replace Ibrahimovic. Barcelona went into half time leading by one goal. In the 74th minute Carlos Puyol was sent off, Barcelona 1 man down. All hope of Sevilla winning ended when in added time Villa executed a Messi through ball. Barcelona won the game and taken the top spot.

3-1​

View attachment 104141​

MoM- Xavi

The midfielder was all over the pitch including a wonderful goal, great play by the midfielder.​

Barcelona vs Ponferradina​

(Spanish Cup)​

Kick off 22:00​

Well with Ibrahimovic, Puyol and Daniel Alves missing the game through injuries and suspensions this might be a more surprising result that everyone thinks. Despite having a few chances Barcelona were not able to break the defense until the 35minute when Messi and Xavi played a wonderful 1-2 before laying it off to Bojan who just had to place it into the open net. Still at half time there was only one goal in it. Villa scored from a counter attack in the 73rd minute of the game. That was it for the game. Barcelona won 2-0.​

2-0
View attachment 104140​

MoM- Messi

Well he set one up and had a few good efforts on goal.​

Barcelona vs Hercules​

(Liga BBVA)​

Kick off 20:00​

Well this should be an easy one for Barcelona. Barca took the lead 10 minutes before half time through a Villa shot from outside the box. Thomert pulled Hercules level after a header from the corner. Half time: 1-1. Five minutes into the second half Messi made it 2-1. In the 65th minute Xavi slotted one into an open goal after a through ball by Villa. Villa grabbed his second in the 71st minute of the game. The game ended in a 4-1 win for Barcelona.​

4-1​

View attachment 104137​

MoM- Villa

He scored two and set one up, great performance.​

"Well this month the player of the month has to go to Messi, he has been absolutely superb stepping up when needed"​

November…​

Barcelona vs Inter Milan

(Champions league)​

Kick off 22:00​

Well these two teams met not that long ago and Inter will want to prove what they are able to do, without Ibrahimovic or Alves they could actually do it. I think Inter to win 1-0 on home soil.​

21:40- Well hello and welcome to Milan where Inter welcome Barca, I would like to remind you their last meeting ended in a 3-0 win for the Spaniards.

21:45- And following the news about Robinho's transfer to Barcelona apparently it has been agreed though according to the rumors a Barcelona legend will make his way to England, we'll see.

21:46- We have the teems, interesting to see Eto'o back in the Inter line up whilst Barcelona are missing Alves and Ibrahimovic:

View attachment 104203​

21:56- Well the teams are warming up and both managers are on the pitch, I am looking forward to this match I can tell you that.

22:00- Let the game begin, Inter to kick off.


1min- And Inter Milan start the game much to the delight of the fans.

2min- GOAAAAAAAAAL, Inter Milan ahead after Lucio scores from a corner, bad start for Barcelona.

10min- Gareth Bale receives a yellow for a sloppy foul on Eto'o.

13min- ETO'O! Great reaction by Valdes, Bale clears.

19min- Xavi intercepts the ball and plays it through to Villa, Villa shoots! Denied by a great save.

21min- Xavi receives the ball in the midfield, surely not! He tries his luck from at least 30 yards out… GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL, it's back to square one for Inter. Xavi's shot rebounds off the bar before bouncing into the goal.

39min- Just a boring passing game here, neither team getting close to the goal.

44min- 2 minutes of added time…

45+2min- Corner ball, Xavi to take. Comes to nothing in the end.

HALF TIME. BARCELONA 1 INTER MILAN 1.

Well this is what I was predicting and I'm glad to be right so far, good begging but a boring end to the first half.​

45min- Hleb replaces Pedro and Iniesta makes way for Keita.

45min- And Barcelona start the second half.

49min- David Villa is shown a yellow card

55min- Bojan has a shot! No problem for Cesar.

58min- Villa is about to take the shot but Lucio dives under his foot and clears, brave defending.

59min- Jeffren comes on for Bojan, it seems as though Hiddink has given Messi more freedom.

61min- And here comes Milito on for Eto'o.

73min- And this looks to be a boring end to yet another exiting half. Barcelona are on the attack while Inter are defending… in the centre of the pitch.

79min- Milito gets past Puyol and continues his run… he's one on one… GOAAAAAAL Milito puts Inter in front.

89min- And Barcelona have three minutes of injury time to get a goal.

90min- And it's all over, full time here in Milan

I predicted correctly as you can see. The absence of Alves and Ibrahimovic are very noticeable and Inter have done well to win, a good match. ​

View attachment 104204
MoM- Lucio​

Well I was impressed with him today, he dominated in defense and scored a goal.​

Barcelona vs Sporting​

(Liga BBVA)​

Kick off 20:00​

Barral got Sporting in front in the 19th minute… this was a bad start for Barca. Bojan pulled Barca back just minutes before half time. Barca went into the second half full of confidence. De Las Cuevas put Sporting ahead in the 78th minute of the game. With just 9 minutes to go Bojan smashed the ball into the top corner: 2-2. Barcelona went ahead through that the legend Messi in the 86th minute. All doubts ended when Barcelona's winger slotted his second one in added time, Messi. What a comeback from Barca.​

View attachment 104202​

4-2​

MoM- Messi

Well he provided the winning goal as well as an assist, great performance from the winger.​

Barcelona vs Ponferradina​

(Spanish Cup)​

Kick off 19:30​

Well with Bojan missing as well Hiddink was forced to play with just one striker. With just 2 minutes on the clock Keita opened the scoring with a wonder shot from outside the area. Villa made it two in the 4th minute. In the 23rd minute Messi added to the total score. Barcelona went into half time with a three goal lead. De Paula then pulled one back but it was too late. Barcelona 3-1, 5-1 on aggregate.​

3-1​

View attachment 104199​

MoM- Pique

The defender was superb and Barcelona are lucky to have him.​

Barcelona vs R.Sociedad​

(Liga BBVA)​

Kick off 22:00​

Well with Daniel Alves back in the line up as well as Ibrahimovic it is looking much better for Barcelona at the back and at the front; they are sitting at the top of the league and will be looking to increase their lead. The first half came to an end without a single goal, Barca did not look happy. Things got worse when Pique got a red card just after half time, things looked back for them. Surprisingly it was Barcelona who started the scoring; Villa made it 1-0. Villa doubled the score in the 76th minute with a placed shot. The game ended 2-0.​

2-0​

View attachment 104207​

MoM- David Villa​

Well he was brilliant today scoring two goals for his team, fair play to the lad.​

Barcelona vs Bate​

(Champions League)​

Kick off 19:45​

Barcelona are looking comfortable to go through the group stage and are looking to beat Bate today. Ibrahimovic opened the scoring in the 4th minute after executing a Daniel Alves cross. Messi got the second goal of the game with 13 minutes on the clock. Barca went into half time 2 up. Bojan replaced Villa and Henrique replaced Puyol. Ibrahimovic got his 2nd deep into the second half from yet another Daniel Alves cross. And that was the last goal of the match, Barcelona have qualified.​

3-0​

View attachment 104198​

MoM- Daniel Alves

Having got three assists he proved that he was pulling all the strings.​

Barcelona vs Real Madrid​

(Liga BBVA)​

Kick off 22:00​

A big match as always; by far the biggest match in Spain. I predict a draw; this will be a tough match for both teams. I recon a 2-2 draw will be the end result.​

21:40- Well hello and welcome to this match, Real vs Barca… big, big match.

21:43- Big news from Europe as Barcelona have apparently secured the services of a big name player for a fee of around 51 million pounds, this is still not confirmed though.

21:47- The teams are up… With Higuain and Khedira out Barca have a chance…

View attachment 104200​

41min- Kaka!!! Crossbar, what a save from Valdes, great save.

44min- 2 minutes of added time…

Nothing to say, very equal match at the moment.​

45min- Bojan comes on for Ibrahimovic and Keita replaces Xavi.

45min- Barcelona start the second half…

46min- Bright start from Barcelona as Messi tests Casillas…

50min- Villa has a go! Saved by Casillas… Iniesta is the first one there; GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL Iniesta makes it 1-1. That's his first goal of the season, and what a place to score…

52min- Ramos slides in dangerously… he's already been booked… it's a red!!!!!!! Ramos is off!!!! It seems Messi has changed wings, good tactical move by Hiddink.

69min- Pedro gets warned with a yellow card.

77min- Ronaldo strikes it… Bale stops it on the line! Great defending.

82min- Messi crosses it into the box… Pedro is there!!!! GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL,2-1 Barcelona are ahead!!!

89min- 4 minutes of added time…Surely all over
