BARCELONA DOES IT AGAIN

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Picture 55

FC Barcelona has won the Club World Cup in UAE.  Some may be surprised that they couldn’t win by a more decisive margin, but today’s 2-1 result is not unusual.

First off, Estudiantes is a world class club. They could compete in any league on earth.  Secondly, Barça is not immune to first-half goals by unfamiliar teams. It happened with Atlante and it happened today.

Barça took their time adjusting to the opposition until Pedro subbed in to equalized at 89 minutes.  Messi came through with a by-any-means-necessary (and still beautiful) goal in the 110th minute.  Barça is the first team in history to win six out of the six major club trophies in a single year.

Barcelona takes the lead in La Liga standings as they defeat Real Madrid 1-0. Ibrahimovic, who came in as a sub for Henry,  scored the sole goal off a volley from a Daniel Alves cross in the 56th minute. Cristiano Ronaldo almost gave Madrid its first goal in the 20th minute, but was denied by Victor Valdes. CR9 had his shining moments, showing great form and having great touches on the ball. Ronaldo’s replacement, Benzema, nearly equalized the game in the 80th minute with a shot just over the bar.

Barcelona now leads La Liga with 30 points, Madrid behind them with 28.
