Cultural Leonesa 0, Barça 2, a.k.a. “Pedrito to the rescue (again)!”

By: Ade C. | Comments 6 Comments

It probably wasn’t one of Barça’s most thrilling matches, but then again, when you field a team of youngsters against a third division team, you can’t expect an earth-shattering performance, can you? (well, yes, you could expect it, but you shouldn’t)
With Real Madrid’s precedent of losing 4-0 to a Segunda B team the day before, [...]

And the sole most important piece of news of the day, enough to make us forget about Rubin Kazan (Rubin Kazan who?), Pep shaving his head and global warming… Carles Puyol is ready to sign a new contract that will see him dressed in blaugrana until 2013!

The Russian Banana Peel

By: Pedro | Comments 18 Comments

That was the general consensus when another ho-hum Champions League Group draw show came to an end and Rubin Kazan had wound up with Inter, Barcelona and Dynamo Kiev. A banana peel in a group of high-flyers, more or less. One that the well-oiled high powered Barcelona and Inter were planning to avoid slipping on, [...]

Barcelona Vs Rubin Kazan: Bez Buldırabız!

By: Ramzi | Comments 42 Comments

If I ask you about the Capital of that Nation, you will say Barcelona.
Now if I will say that the mentioned nation had to face an extreme regime, you will say that’s  Franco’s.
