Caparros those coming to make a great cup-bearer at the Barcelona tie, where they were eliminated by the added value of away goals that turned the Catalan team.

In the summers of 2007 and 2008, the team then Chairman Ramon Calderon is interested, let by the Brazilian side. In fact, when Real coach Bernd Schuster was, Alves was one of the players wanted at all costs in its right wing.

It did not, and Barca ended up paying 36 million euros for Daniel Alves Sevilla became one of the best, if not the best right winger in the world football. That, and the “destiny” as he noted, has served to prolong the many successes already harvested at Sevilla. For this reason, Dani Alves lit a wick in the eternal gurerra Barça-Madrid for taking a decision.

Barcelona and Inter are cited in the semifinals of the Champions League match for the fifth time in European aspirations and the second in this course.

The set of Pep Guardiola and Portuguese Jose Mourinho cross paths in a first round of the continental showpiece. However, not long ago they faced. It was in the group stage. They agreed last September and November.

Barcelona made it clear their superiority. He tied the first leg, on the first day in Milan, and won in the Nou Camp, in the round, 2-0, with goals from Gerard Pique and Pedro Rodriguez.

And is that all Barca has been strengthened in most of the fighting. Only when they met in the second round of the Fairs Cup, during 1969-70, the Inter emerged victorious. Elsewhere, global shocks were for the Spanish team.

The clash between Barcelona and Inter, with the final Champions League goal, an appointment that the Italian does not come from the 1971-72 season, when he fell against Ajax in Rotterdam, is enriched by morbo that marks the return of illustrious.

Is the case of Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o, now in the ranks transalpine after five years at Barcelona and, above all, the coach Jose Mourinho Luso, as a member of the coaching days Barca, as assistant to Bobby Robson, and then returned the Camp Nou with Chelsea and then Inter.

Andres Iniesta was critical Vitienes Teixeira’s performance in the match against Getafe and admits he was not expected to drive out Piqué after entry to Rafa.

Speaking to Barça TV Iniesta said he assumed that his partner would not see the red “because it is a typical balloon leaking a bit.” “Pique told me that he had been hit in the knee and are quick decisions. The referee hurt us dramatically, but in the end made up for it,” he acknowledged.

With regard to Saturday’s match against Getafe, Iniesta said the attitude of the team despite playing with one less for over an hour was “exceptional”. “She is playing with 10 because it is harder and more against Getafe, who likes to have the ball. The attrition was notable, but the team’s attitude was exceptional,” he said.

In a “grand moment”
Is also recognized that a “great” individual moment to review the latest sports, although not satisfied manchego and says he wants to be “better” than last season.

“I feel good. I have spent almost one and half taking a good feeling and intent that the regularity is the maximum in every match. I have good feelings,” he said.

However, the Manchego is self-demanding about their performance and knows he can give more of herself. “It’s difficult to compare things, but I would be better than last year. I want to be better every year and now I’m fine. There are still months of competition to improve and be doing something right,” he said.

Barcelona have called an urgent press conference for 13:30 intervene where Joan Laporta, Pep Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain to announce the renewal of the Barca coach.

The call comes after the club and the coach have agreed to follow the head coach of FC Barcelona set,

Barcelona announced himself hours before this call with an image of Guardiola, Laporta Txiki and the day he signed as first team coach.

In the Ciudad Condal the rumors had soared in recent weeks and they talked of nothing but technical renewal.

Lionel Messi said that the current staffing of Barca do not have to prove “anything to anyone” in reference to the doubts created the environment for the elimination of copera Guardiola as the ‘Golden Ball’ claims that they want to “keep on winning things” . “We do not have to prove anything to anyone, not ourselves. We continue with the same mentality of last year, we continue to win things and I think we’ve shown,” said Messi told Barca TV.

On the five points that lead him to Madrid in the Primera Liga, Argentina believed to be a “significant advantage”. “It is an important advantage because they are already five points, but we also know that takes a lot of league, that this will be very long. It is all the second round and Real Madrid will still be there.” Moreover, Messi, who yesterday became the youngest player to reach 100 goals for Barcelona, stays with the “important goals.” “Beyond the great goals I stay with the major goals of the finals that I fill more beautiful,” he said.

“The truth is that, as in all the important things that have happened to me today I do not give too much weight or not I can tell. I live a quiet, normal and eager to do more things,” he said. One person that has helped him achieve this goal is Guardiola, for which the youth squad has only words of praise. “I always said that to me means a lot, every detail that has me and I am very grateful,” he said.

“He was obsessed with him Palop goal to”
“I have dreamed of Palop, but Cup soured me a bit. In Sevilla I won the game, because I got many side by side and yesterday I also had two or three. Make the goal was a liberation. I was not obsessed the goal itself but by the fact the goal to make Palop, since in the Cup did not succeed, “he said.

On the elimination copera, what most hurts the ’10 ‘is the “form” in which they fell. “In the second half we were totally superior and sometimes very clear we had to have been able to do one more goal,” he said. “It’s tough because we expected it. We were convinced that mount up and we would pass the qualifying round. It was a stick,” concluded the current top scorer in the league.

Unlike three years ago, Barcelona was made with the European Super Cup after a tough game and very long. Shakhtar Donetsk capitulated only after extra time, five minutes from the end of it. He had to be Peter, another kid ‘made in Guardiola’ who break the Ukrainian wall. The canary drew a great wall with Messi and gently placed the ball out of reach of Pyatov.

Pedro

It is the second title of Barcelona this season and the fifth so far this year. The Blaugrana have learned the lesson of history is not repeated in 2006. Against Shakhtar monopolized the ball, but did not find enough space. He found Pedrito at minute 115.

It was the best game of the year from Barcelona, but Guardiola’s team also has the virtue of winning the regular games. It’s normal, because even without having a fluid game rivals to put a defensive effort that secured them from leaving the attack. It happened to Shakhtar, who made a remarkable defensive retreat and covered almost all areas. That yes, he did do work based on even some of their best players like William. The interior of the Ukrainian team found the side and Alves, in theory his lawyer, the end. Many were the times he had to extinguish any fire.

Accumulated Barca possession, but sometimes not. What did not suffer, yes, were scares. Fernandinho and Luiz Adriano were mere spectators. Lucescu got them because I had to make eleven players, but his contribution was very low. Shakhtar was inferior and believed him at all times. I trusted everything on a gamble against or on penalties. It almost goes things either, because Kobin Aghahowa and had two good chances. As Chygrynskiy, the middle was a good level, although it is true that played clothed. We will have to see him exposed with spaces.

Barca had his best minutes midway through the half. Top music was when he put the crash. Messi and Henry toyed with Ibrahimovic’s goal was a good choice. The Swede tried to some good details, but he was lacking in pace and finally exhausted. Not surprised its change by Peter, which ultimately would be the hero. A jugadones Messi was the last bullet avoid Barcelona before the extension. Neither the Argentine could.

In the overtime Shakhtar had the best choices, more physically whole Barcelona. Aghahowa enjoyed the best chance, but Valdes responded magnificently. Only then stretched the Ukrainian team. You still have time to give more to scare Kobin, but Puyol, very fast, eventually intimidate. The central level was a superb in Monaco.
