FC Barcelona vs Getafe

Hi guys! Sorry for not updating you guys on FIFA, but no worries, I'll be putting FIFA stuffs on the blog later on.

Alright, so, once again, did any of you watched the game this morning? (2am-4am)

FCB line-ups:
Valdes, Puyol, Adriano, Pique, Montoya, Fabregas, Xavi, Busquets, Thiago, Pedro and Tello
Getafe line-ups:
Moya, Valera, Lopo, Alexis, Miguel Torres, Pedro Leon, Michel, Castro, Xavi Torres, Barrada, Colunga

The game kicked off quite goodly as there were 2 shots on goal (Tello & Thiago) & 69% possessions already on the 25'.

First goal was from Adriano, on the 32'; assisted by Fabregas. Great shot from the midfielder. 52', Mascherano came in for our captain; Puyol. Puyol's knee got injured; wish him well! 2nd goal, scored by Messi; came in for Thiago on the 59'. It was a penalty goal caused on the 74'; fouled by Valera on Pedro in the penalty box. One of an amazing penalty goal, Messi kicked the ball, Moya's right hand was actually touching the ball but I guess the ball was too hard that Moya can't stop it from getting into the net. Yes indeed Messi's penalty goals alway scores but at the same time, it gives me goosebumps too! LOL

Then after a short while, Messi scored another on the 78'. Great footwork coming from our wonder boy Messi! Assisted by Montoya on the right side of the field to Messi. Then again, after a short while, on the 80'; a goal for Getafe. It was Sarabia who kicked the ball but Mascherano somehow headed the ball into the net, wasn't on purpose, I'm sure Mascherano wanted to head the ball out not in - so yea, it was an own goal.

Then right on the 90'+1'; Villa who came in for Tello helped Barca with a goal! Great assist coming from Fabregas once again on the left side of the field. Villa was clear ahead, Moya started running out of the goal box & Villa kicked the ball - the ball went through Moya's leg and into the net! Great goal.

Great game! :) I don't know if any of you realize - all of Barca's matches, during the 1st half Barca don't score much, maybe 1/2 goals & it always gives me the blood rush. Then on the 2nd half only they start scoring like crazy & thats when I can only rest myself! LOL

I'm sure many of you are wondering where's Iniesta - he won't be able to be with us for 10 days. He has injured his knee during the FIFA matches. Well, wishing both him & Puyol well, soon!

Enjoy!

FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid



Did you guys watched this fantastico game?? It was an interesting game, trust me! But anyhow, I'll be here writing all about this game. Enjoy!

The line-up;

FCB;
Valdes, Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Adriano, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Alexis Sanchez & Messi!
RMD;
Casillas, Ramos, Albiol, Arbeloa, Coentrao, Alonso, Ozil, Khedira, Callejon, Cristiano Ronaldo & Benzema

The results ...

Half-Time;
FCB 0-0 Real Madrid
Full-Time;
FCB 3-2 Real Madrid

On the 55'; a goal for Real Madrid first, by Cristiano Ronaldo. Assisted by Ozil from a corner kick & Ronaldo headed the ball in. They were all cheering; hugging and everything, it's funny 'cause Barca got ahead so extremely good & fast that it made their jaw dropped. LOL sorry, I don't know if that made sense? I'm just soooo happy!

As referring to what I was saying, Barca got ahead of the game so good & fast; this is the reason; on the 56' just a minute away from Ronaldo's goal; Barca scored their first goal; by Pedro assisted by Mascherano. Just ONE MINUTE away from Ronaldo's goal, can you imagine? & gosh, Barca is so darn good at passing; especially far passings. Mascherano was having the ball to himself; finding a way to passed to somebody who's near the goal net, he saw Pedro; who was on the right corner side of the field. It was afar passed from him to Pedro & Pedro kicked the ball into the net. Fabio Coentra couldn't catch up, nope. By the time Coentra tried to defense the ball away, Pedro already kicked the ball into the net.

2nd goal for FCB was on the 70'; a penalty goal from Messi. Penalty was the caused from Ramos making contact onto Iniesta on the penalty box. :) nice shot from Messi & a pitch invader came out to the field when they were celebrating.

3rd & last goal for FCB was on the 78'; by our captain Xavi, assisted from Iniesta. Looks like when both of my midfielders work together; nobody can stop them eyh. :D afar passed from Busquets to Iniesta - great footwork from Iniesta; breaking away from all the Madrid defenders. He then passed it to Xavi who was upfront to the net & Xavi kicked the ball into the net! Scored! They were all then celebrating.

On the 85'; Real Madrid managed to score their 2nd & last goal; from Di Maria. It was actually a slipped from Valdes. A pass from Ronaldo; but Pique managed to get the ball, he then kicked the ball towards Valdes. Valdes was having the ball on his feet - Di Maria came storming towards Valdes & Valdes somehow slipped the ball away from his feet. Di Maria then kicked the ball into the net & that's how Di Maria scored the goal.

Final whistle was then blown on the 90' + 3'. FCB flags were all waving up! Celebrations were starting. While I, was at home, jumping up & down that I think the neighbors would be wondering what the heck is going on. LOL! It was an interesting match.

p.s. Messi has equalized Cesar as FCB's all-time goalscorer against Real Madrid. :) Cheerio, loves.

That's would be the first half of the whole El Clasico/Supercopa game. Next stop, to the Bernabeu for the final game of El Clasico/Supercopa!

pics would be uploaded at our tumblr.

Enjoy!

FC Barcelona vs Real Sociedad

Anyone of you watched the match yesterday? (Malaysia time; 3am).

No? No worries, you can check it in here; watch it here & etc. :)

FC Barcelona's line-up;
Valdes, Alves, Puyol, Mascherano, Alba, Busquets, Xavi, Fabregas, Pedro, Tello & Messi!

Real Sociedad's line-up;
Bravo, Ansotegi, Gonzalez, Estrada, De La Bella, Castro, Prieto, Elustondo, Illarramendi, Bergara & Griezmann.

The results;

Half-Time;
FCB 4-1 Real Sociedad
Full-Time;
FCB 5-1 Real Sociedad

The first goal was on the 4', (I know, so fast!) LOL it's from our captain; Puyol; I call him the metal-head; his head is clearly made out of metal, its so hard! A corner kick by Xavi & yes, Puyol head the ball into the net. As easy as abc. :) a great comeback from him!

The first goal for Sociedad was on the 9'. A goal from Castro; assisted by Asier Illarramendi. It was an easy goal; cause there were no defenders blocking him. Puyol & Fabregas tried to ran towards him but he was too far away for them. And by the time Dani Alves came to defense; he kicked the ball into the corner of the net & the ball went in.

Everyone's heart was pounding by then 'cause it's already FCB 1-1 Sociedad. What will happen? Will it lead to a tie? Just like Real Madrid's match against Valencia. Many of 'em started wishing, "Please, Barca, start scoring already!" and yes, Barca or should I say Messi, granted their wish. 2nd goal for FCB was from our wonder boy; Messi. It was on the 11' assisted by Pedro. The ball was with Tello; he passed it to Messi; then Messi passed it to Pedro & back to Messi. There were around 4 Sociedad defenders blocking Messi; but Messi did his thing; dribble the ball away from them containing him and kicked the ball straight into the net. This goal was my favorite; why you may ask? Cause it was interesting to watch, like Tello to Messi to Pedro then back to Messi & then into the net with all the Sociedad defenders surrounding them. And watching Messi do his dribbles & style; how can it not be interesting. :)

3rd goal for FCB was again from our superstar; Messi. On the 16'; assisted by Tello. Tello passed it to Messi & Messi wanted to kicked the ball into the net but one of Sociedad defenders somehow hit the ball and the ball slowed down, going further up and Tello was great too to get back the ball & kicked it back to Messi. From there, Messi scored! :) LOVE HIM!

4th goal for FCB was from Pedro; on the 41'; assisted by Tello once again. Afar passed from Tello to Pedro. And Pedro kicked the ball into the net without even having to think. It was an unexpected goal.

The 5th and last goal for FCB was on the 84'; by Villa (came in for Pedro on the 75'; audiences were all standing up & clapping for him; welcoming him back. :)) assisted by another one of our favorites; our wonder boy; Iniesta. Villa was having the ball at first; he was trying to get near the net but defenders were blocking him so he passed it to Iniesta; who dribbled & broke away the defenders from Villa but managed to keep the ball from getting out of the side-line. He then passed it back to Villa, Villa then scooped up the ball and into the net. Goal!! Another huge comeback from Villa!

This was a very exciting game to watch. Literally every after 5 mins, I'll be getting up; cheering. :) I was so happy that Barca is still Barca; they play it their own way & they win it their own way! I'm proud to be a FCB familia. :)
