Barcelona!

Hopefully this story can interest a lot of people. I am sorry if there are delays between some updates throughout this challenge, as I am also in an intriguing save with Cardiff (That I should have done a story on).

August update up soon!

No transfers were made as my team is good enough to win everything, especially with this man in the team:

Gutted! However, the main aim of the challenge is to win the Champions League, and He will be back in time for the knockout stages. We will get through easily!

Barcelona 2-1 Valencia
Villa, Alves

Getafe 0-3 Barcelona
Iniesta (3)

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Champions League Match 1

Barcelona 1-0 Panathanaikos
Villa

The scoreline here didn't really reflect our dominance in the game. We had 33 shots compared to their 3, so we probably should have won by more!

Barcelona 3-0 Granada
Thiago, Villa, Fabregas


Sevilla 1-4 Barcelona
Xavi, Villa, Iniesta (2)

Another easy month where we dominated all of our matches. What makes it even better is that we are doing this without Messi!

Could you screen shot your starting line up, struggling to get the best out of certain players.

Good luck :)

Starting at the big teams seems like a clever way to go about this challenge, get your reputation up then take up the challenges of building teams into Champions.

Good win vs Real Madrid but the games against Schalke and Rayo must not be repeated. Nevertheless, top of the league and looking fairly comfortable in the CL!

Good going in the champions league... with a squad like that you should be one of the first to win it!! Are you aiming to get the big clubs done first then onto the smaller ones? Think that is what i will do, as once i have completed the big guns then others might have improved ie Forest and Villa, or have wicked regens ie Ajax, Porto. The trickiest ones will be Steaue and Red Star!!

Keep it up and good luck!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm planning on doing exactly that, but If I win the CL this season and a team like Forest is the only team available then I will take it!

just looking at your team and wondered why Pique was on the bench and Puyol was starting :S
 
Last post mucked up so I deleted it. Tired now, I may finish the season tomorrow and hopefully move on to a new club!
