As our beloved FCB is still fighting on all fronts, and also had to play an extra 5 Supercup games of all types (thanks to last season's epic Treble) the sheer number of games we have to deal with becomes a significant factor. It could even possibly be argued that this sheer number of games we...

Less than a month after our glorious triumph in Berlin and the capture of our 5th European Cup, the UEFA Champions League returns tonight! Will this finally be the season when a side manages to retain the Holy Grail of club football? Will it be Lucho's boys who finally break the long-standing...

In my opinion, this is as redundant as the Messi vs CR7 debate, more of like a non-debate, with one player (Iniesta) being clearly superior to the other (Zidane) But since lots of deluded fans try to argue in Zidane's favor, let's play the little comparison out. 1) Iniesta pawns and owns...

Having stumbled upon these clips on youtube, it got me wondering: "How good was Maradona?" I know that comparisons between him and Leo are inevitable, but I think that it is more of an exercise in futility. I am more intrigued by how much different football was back then in terms of everything...

I know there is a truckload of magisterial Messi goals, but I will go for his first against AC Milan in the Last 16 phase of the Champions League in 12/13. Very crucial goal, and one that never seizes to amaze me each and every time I watch it. Unbelievable how he could score that goal, from...
