Messi shines in Barcelona’s Champions League win over Arsenal
0 - 2 The long awaited Arsenal vs Barcelona Champions League tie ended with expected result when Spanish giant dominated the hosts right from the beginning and won the game with a 2-0 margin. Expectedly, Messi delivered his best and netted both the goals while hosts looked helpless in front of firing forward line of Camp Nou side. Looking at the final score everyone would get a feeling that Arsenal were nowhere close to Barcelona players but actually visitors had to do lots of hard work to score two goals that too happened in the second half. Actually, Gunners defense was in its best form last night as they almost defy every shot of the best forward line, although, Barcelona enjoyed the ball possession more than the hosts. Both the goals were netted by Messi who proved lethal for Emirate side and he as well accepted they played against the solid defensive line that made them work hard for each goal. Talking about the course of the game, 28-year-old Argentine said, “We played a … [Read more...]

Spanish side Real Madrid has seen lots of ups and downs this year and therefore could never be a threatening contender for La Liga title, in fact, right from the beginning they did not show any thirst to win the domestic title and for that reason bosses had to fire non performing manager. But newly appointed head coach Zinedine Zidane is still confident they can triumph the Spanish silverware despite not winning the Malaga game yesterday. The leaderboard is also not in there favor as they are trailing by a good nine points to the leader Barcelona with only thirteen games to play and it looks highly unlikely they can recoup this gap easily.
