You can thank my Dad for telling me about this article and interview with our little Argentinian maestro Leo Messi. I thought I’d share it with you. I’ve added links below to the goals mentioned at the start of the article.

Enjoyed that.
And its ends with an optimistic look towards the rest of the season:
“But with Messi returning to the team this month, there are worrying - at least for Celtic - signs of recovery. Henry is blending in better and recovering some of the spark and power he had at Arsenal, while Eto’o is back from injury looking hungry and lethal. An extremely exciting young player, 17-year-old Bojan Krkic (see panel on page 23), is emerging as a more than adequate replacement for Ronaldinho. There is also the possibility that Ronaldinho himself may take flight again, as swiftly and inexplicably as he faded. With all these options, plus some mightily impressive players in defence and midfield, Barcelona remain the team with the most brilliant potential in Europe and probably, even on a less-than-perfect day, the best to watch.”

Thanks for posting.
A random question, Nic: How is it that you’re able to find clips on that Arabic streaming video website? Do you know Arabic?

Blaugranafan - I look in a growing number of places for the video clips and often change the clip when I find a better one, the arab ones are usually the first to appear courtesy of a poster (a real madrid fan called ReMad2) on the Soccerpulse forum - http://www.soccerpulse.com/forum/index.php?act=idx
Sadly I do not speak Arabic.
