Game Analysis

I will post here all the game analysis I have. 

 Real Madrid 1 - FC Barcelona 3 (12/10/2011)

Barcelona found themselves behind just after 24 seconds, which was the fastest goal of El Clasico's history.

But the team fought back and put a majestetic performance with switching 4-3-3 to 3-4-3 after 20 minutes. 

Cesc Fabregas and Alexis, both summer-signing, scored along with Xavi and Barcelona won for the 4th year in a row at the Bernabeu.

FC Barcelona 5 Villarreal 0 (08/29/2011)


This was the first league game of 2011/2012 season. Guardiola surprised everybody and went out with the 3-4-3 formation. With only 1 natural defender in the lineup - Abidal - they dominated completely the narrow Villarreal side.

Valencia 2 - FC Barcelona 2  (9/21/2011)


This game was all about Unai Emery and Pep Guardiola. Both young, ambition and totally football romantics. Valencia and Unai Emery showed that it is possible to outplay Barcelona at times and it was in the end Barcelona's and Messi's brilliance that got the drew out of a very exciting game.

Real Sociedad 2 - FC Barcelona 2 (9/10/2011)

It looked like Barcelona will get the result the want, going 2-0 up just after just 11 minutes. But this game is a lesson that never underestimate the opponent, never relax, never give up. Barcelona, after the international break, looked really tired, unsteady and  Sociedad took the opportunity and drew 2-2.

FC Barcelona 3 - Manchester United 1 (28/05/2011)


It was the same stadium - Wembley stadium in London - where FC Barcelona and Pep Guardiola won their first European Cup.
They wanted to repeat the history.


Barcelona went to this game with league already won and most of the players hadn't played for almost 3 weeks, the front 3 were on a goal drought. Messi hadn't scored in his last 4 games, Pedro scored just 1 in his last 14 and David Villa 1 in his last 16 games!
It took Barcelona 10 minutes, just like 2 years ago in Rome, where the same two teams met, to get their game going.  After that, it was all about the majestetic Barcelona. They put out one of the best performances that world has ever seen. The front 3 - Messi, Villa, Pedro all scored, assisted by the midfielders Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. But the score is actually irrevelant, it's how they dominated the game, how easily they created chanches, how they made a great team like Manchester United look like a medicore team. It was simply one of the best team peroformances.
