I must admit watching Barca last few games, it seems Ibra struggling to settle.
His touch and decision making always seems to give him and the team problems.
reading the Ajax site many fans indicated that Ibra has never performed well
as the lone striker, in a three man attack. I found that interesting. I know it
takes time to settle so hopefully he will grow into providing more influence.

On another note. Kaka now looks to be falling into a rhythm with Real.
His last two games he looked very inventive, with a wide range of movement.
Its a good time to be finding form and could prove very useful for Real in the
final run.

He been struggling, truly messes up the flow, the fact that the man scoring goals somewhat hiding this fact. Will see how this chapter is written

Where the La LIga men?

It seems that Real gone top on goal difference with a win over sevilla..........

Real move top with last-gasp win
Real Madrid came from two goals behind to beat Sevilla in a thrilling game as Manuel Pellegrini's side moved ahead of champions Barcelona on goal difference.

Xabi Alonso's own goal gave Sevilla a first-half lead with the visitors going 2-0 down after keeper Iker Casillas misread Ivica Dragutinovic's free-kick.

Cristiano Ronaldo's sidefooted finish sparked the Real comeback with Sergio Ramos heading home to make it 2-2.

And Rafael van der Vaart's scrambled stoppage-time goal sealed the victory.

Earlier on Saturday Barcelona drew 2-2 with Almeria, with the champions coming from behind twice to earn a point thanks to two goals from Lionel Messi.

It was an uncomfortable game for Barca, who had coach Pep Guardiola sent to the stands in the first half, with striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic red-carded in the second period.

That draw provided Real with the opportunity to leapfrog their bitter rivals, though Pellegrini's team did it the hard way after Alonso put the ball in his own net as he tried to stop it reaching Alvaro Negredo.

There seemed little danger when Dragutinovic strolled up to a Sevilla free-kick but somehow the ball crept inside the post with Casillas scrambling across his line to put the visitors 2-0 up.

Cue that remarkable Real recovery with Ronaldo firing in his 14th goal of the season and Ramos heading in following a corner four minutes later.

With time running out Ronaldo seemed certain to score only for Raul to get in the way of the Portuguese striker's shot, but substitute Van der Vaart's close-range finish ensured the perfect finish for an ecstatic Bernabeu crowd.

The win was no more than Real deserved given Guti hit the bar with a ferocious shot, while Gonzalo Higuain struck the woodwork twice in three minutes, with goalkeeper Andres Palop thwarting wave after wave of Madrid attacks.

With the title race in La Liga finely poised, Barca and Real will meet in a potentially decisive El Clasico on 11 April.

Messi showed real class in allowing Ibra to take the PK.
He immediately turned and pointed "it's yours"

That was sumpn like Yorke giving the penalty to Stern only thing is Zlatan scored, but with the dreadful day he was having I am surprised he did.

Zlatan cyah do nothing right at the moment and Pep continues to put him out dey while Bojan rotting on the bench.

Messi showed class though he could've easily had 4 goals on the night and I want to think if he wasn't brought down on that play and was allowed to score, that goal would've been better than his 2nd.

Nothin to do with any team in particular but the league as a whole. Notice watchin La Liga games that alot of youngsters playin on most teams, usually d smaller teams but still (well Barca does give youths a chance). Its jus that Serie A notorious for not giving youth much chance, I know a few play in EPL and well I dont know about Bundesliga. (Somebody might be able to find stats on avg age etc)
My point is what is d cause of this, cuz I know in Italy its the culture. They jus dont give young players much opportunity, you could count on one hand basically. Look somebody like Santon make a big splash get compare to Maldini and then disappear (yes Balotelli does sweat but he is a big exception, and thaz only for Inter cuz national team eh pullin him in til after world cup). England had Owen and Rooney in world cup as teens and most countries if u good u play. Is this d case in Spain or is it just d culture to give youth a chance or it jus cheaper to pay youths than vets etc...bless

2 things..

why Sevilla went and fire dey coach? the side looking like it gone thru now, i watch the game today against Villareal and they are a shadow of themselves..

secondly, if allyuh didnt see it, check out Zlatan's back pass to Messi against Mallorca.. By back pass, I literally mean "back" pass..

Pedro just chest trap and turn quickly to the left of a defender. The defender damaged his angle trying to change direction. I think he have come off.

Jonathan Dos Santos coming along nicely.
Bojan is a class player and could start in front of Zlatan in my opinion. Very mobile, quick and does play the Barca brand.

I hope Wenger tape the game.

Iniesta out for a month
Barca star suffers tear in his hamstring

Barcelona's bid for domestic and European glory has been dealt a significant blow with the news Andres Iniesta could be sidelined for a month.

The Spanish schemer sustained an injury in training on Tuesday morning and tests have since revealed he has suffered a tear in his right hamstring.

According to the Catalan club's official website, the injury is likely to keep Iniesta out for four weeks, in which case he would miss most of Barca's final seven league matches - the Primera Division season finishes on the weekend of 15/16th May.

He would also miss both legs of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan.
Barca, who are currently three points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La

Liga, will be hoping that Iniesta will be fit in time for the Champions League

final on 22nd May, if they get that far.

Big loss for the Blaugrana.

Time for Jeffren and Dos Santos to step up big.

Up side, he could make it back for the CL final, if they make it and he will be rested for Spain.
