A nail-biting 1-2 victory for Barça in La Romareda has reduced the gap with Real Madrid to only five points, after Madrid lost earlier to Betis. A late penalty from Ronaldinho gave Barça an undeserved but vital victory in a game dominated by the referee’s controversial decisions. Thierry Henry’s opening goal looked to be after the Frenchman […]

A goal from Xavi Hernandez fifteen minutes from time earned a weakened Barça side a point at Sevilla, but it will go down as two points lost, as Madrid tomorrow can go eight points clear at the top if they beat Valladolid. Barça managed to scrape a point out of a game which looked lost, […]

 
A goal from substitute Xavi three minutes from the end gave Barça three vital points which kept their title chances alive. After Madrid lost yesterday it was imperative that Barça beat Osasuna today, but their lack of ideas in front of goal threatened to end the weekend with disappointment until Xavi made the most of […]

Once again a single goal from Thierry Henry was enough to get Barça through a round of the Copa del Rey. Having scored Barça’s only goal in two games against Sevilla in the last 16, Henry’s header before half time gave Barça a 1-0 aggregate win over Villarreal to secure a place in tomorrow’s semi-final […]

Barça lost two vital points in their visit to San Mames thanks to their failure to score a second goal. Bojan Krkic put Barça ahead in the 35th minute but an own goal from Lilian Thuram in the 79th minute left Barça regretting their lack of fire power. Frank Rijkaard will no doubt be questioned […]

Barça gave a vastly improved performance from the last time they visited El Madrigal and were perhaps unlucky not to achieve more than a 0-0 draw to take into next Thursday’s second leg at Camp Nou. Carles Puyol had to pull out hours before kick off due to a heavy cold which meant a game […]

A goal after half an hour from Thierry Henry was enough to see off an organized but unambitious Racing Santander. Leo Messi returned after five weeks out injured to play the last twenty-five minutes and lift a pretty ordinary performance from Barça. After Real Madrid’s win in their game against Atletico this was a vital […]

Barça are through to the last eight of this season’s Copa Del Rey on the away goals rule after an intense 0-0 draw at Camp Nou with Sevilla. Thierry Henry’s goal in the 1-1 draw last Wednesday in the Sanchez Pizjuan now counts double and means the end of Sevilla’s fantastic run in cup competitions. This is the […]

Samuel Eto’o leaves tomorrow to join up with the Cameroon national team for the African Cup of Nations, but he left us with two goals to let us remember what we will be missing. Thierry Henry had probably his best game at Camp Nou setting up two of the second half goals.

Barça earned a valuable 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Copa del Rey tie with Sevilla tonight in the Sanchez Pizjuan. Thierry Henry, who is beginning to look like the striker Barça hoped for, scored the opener after 24 minutes, but poor defending at a corner just before half time allowed Capel the space […]
