Barça played their last game at Camp Nou under Frank Rijkaard and managed to throw away a 2-0 lead to lose 2-3 in the last minute. Less than 40,000 turned up to see the game, and sections of the public showed their displeasure with Joan Laporta during the match and at the end when Dani […]

 
Barça succumbed to a vastly superior Real Madrid side tonight who celebrated their 31st Liga by beating us 4-1. Barça were never in the game and are obviously already thinking about next season or their holidays. If ever there was a game that the majority didn’t seem to want to play it was this. The humiliation of having […]

 
It wasn’t to be for Barça tonight. Despite having more possession and more shots in both legs we were unable to score a goal in 180 minutes. Manchester United go on to the final in Moscow thanks to a cracking early goal from Paul Scholes. Barça are left to lick their wounds and to contemplate […]

 
I have to admit that I didn’t expect much from today’s game, but the worst thing was the performance of some players who did not play in the Champions League game against Manchester. One would have expected that some players would have given their all in the hope of earning themselves a place in the […]

 
Despite dominating for long periods, Barcelona were unable to break through Manchester United’s defensive wall and now go into next Tuesday’s 2nd leg at Old Trafford needing a score draw or better to reach the final in Moscow on May 21. If the result was a bit disappointing, the performance was cause for optimism as Barça […]

 
Barça missed what is probably the last chance in this league when they failed to score tonight against Espanyol. However, despite the disappointing result there were reasons to be optimistic for the coming Champions League game with Manchester United. Leo Messi and Andres Iniesta looked like changing the game when they came on at half time, […]

 
Barça once again paid the price for individual errors and had to settle for just one point that sees our chances of winning the league reduced to practically nil. The only positive points to take from the night were the two goals from Samuel Eto’o and the return of Leo Messi. Unfortunately the five weeks out […]

 
Barça have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League after beating Schalke 04 1-0 (2-0 on aggregate) and will now face Manchester United for a place in the final in Moscow on May 21st. However, the performance, especially in the first half left a lot to be desired. Whether the recent declarations from directors had […]

 
In yet another cruel night for culés, Barça were incapable of scoring the goal which would have reduced differences with Madrid to five points. Three times Barça were denied by the woodwork but as the night wore on, anxiety turned to desperation and the cool head that was needed to stick the ball in the net was […]

 
A goal from Bojan Krkic after twelve minutes was enough to give Barcelona a victory in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen tonight which leaves Barça very close to a semi final place in this season’s Champions League. The performance was not pretty but the players showed the pride that seemed to be lacking recently to earn a […]
