Barcelona qualified for Champions League
Dec 10th
Lionel Messi freekick ensure the win for Barcelona
Barcelona qualified for Champions League after showing a superb performance against the stubborn Dynamo Kiev, who scored the first goal to put pressure on Barcelona from the 1st minute of the game. A freekick which Valdes failed to keep hold of the ball and thanks to Xavi and Lionel Messi to sealed the victory for Barcelona.
Barcelona were no doubt the best team playing on the field, altough both side were putting pressure on each other with Barcelona pushing more as they were one down already. Lionel Messi got a superb chance to equalize when the Dynamo goalkick landed on Messi and with his superb run Messi took the ball toward the goal but goalkeeper didnt made any mistake and stopped the ball.
Lionel Messi showed superb form as he kept pressuring the strong Dynamo Kiev defenders, but then on 33rd minute, Lionel Messi saw Abidal in superb position and passed toward him, and Abidal then gave a superb assist to Xavi which resulted in first goal and equaliser for Barcelona. Barcelona looked more in control of the game once they equalised and started putting more pressure on the home team.
Barcelona only needed 1 point to qualify for Champions League but a win would keep them top of the table. Dynamo Kiev did got a superb chance on two occassion, first one was cleared by Abidal and the second chance was very close which Almeida was not able to take and headed outside the post.
Game continued in similar fashion but Barcelona looked more strong to score a goal but no one was able to score. And then at last on 84th minute, Barcelona received freekick which was taken superbly by our Lionel Messi which hit the bar and went inside. After the win was secured, Lionel Messi was again on his way to score another goal but was taken down by Dynamo Kiev defenders and he was force to leave the ground as he was injured by the challenge.
Ibrahimovic then took the free kick which went straight toward goalkeeper face, which might have been a goal for Barcelona. There wasnt much chances created after that and Barcelona didnt gave the ball away to Dynamo in the last minute of the game and they secured yet another victory to qualify for the Champions League 2009-2010.
Beware Europe, Barcelona are coming back again 
Match Preview: Barcelona vs Dynamo Kiev – Champions League
Dec 9th
Lionel Messi ready to qualify for Champions League
Finally the day have arrived for the Group F to decide who will qualify and who will not. Anything is possible in this group. Barcelona will be playing with Dynamo Kiev tonight for a win which will secure their progress in the competition. Cold weather and the pitch will play an important role tonight for both the team, although Dynamo will be used to it, its Barcelona who will have to fight to qualify tonight.
Every player in Barcelona are ready to face Dynamo, Alves who didnt practice with the squad on Monday night was also included in Tuesday night training. Barcelona showed a great play in last two week and they will try to produce the same form against Dynamo tonight.
Lionel Messi first match after picking up the Ballon D’or Award, who will be main star for Barcelona tonight along with the two strong mid field, Xavi and Iniesta. Ibrahimovic who have scored in almost every match having a record of 1 goal every 90 minute, Ibrahimovic have only scored one goal that to against Rubin Kazan which was Barcelona first lost of the season, but having scoring only one goal will surely push him to grab few more and Xavi will be making his 100th Champions League appearance tonight.
Lets hope to see great football match tonight and Barcelona qualify for the Champions League without any trouble, winning will secure Barcelona qualification, which is what they will be looking to do tonight

Are Barca out of luck?

Are Barca out of luck?
Barcelona are really going through tough time, it started from Valencia and still continuing. We lost to Rubin Kazan who were no match for Barcelona, came to Camp Nou and won against Barcelona in their home ground. Maybe their luck was better than ours, but what happened against Osasuna, we were winning and suddenly at the end of the match, an own goal.
Players are playing superb, they are in top form, but suddenly something just happened. But is this just the starting phase or Barcelona are out of luck?
Last season, Messi was Barcelona lucky charm, who saved the game many time last season, scoring in the last minute. Iniesta saved us in Champions League, but this season everything is there only the luck factor has gone somewhere.
Barcelona are the strongest team, no doubt about it. No other team can even compare the line-up of Barcelona, but when other team put all their players in their own box, it become difficult for Barcelona to play their best game.
So what is it, Barcelona are out of luck or it was just an odd day for Barcelona?
Its Pay back time – Barcelona vs Rubin Kaza

Its Pay back time – Barcelona vs Rubin Kaza
The only team to beat Barcelona this season, will have to pay tonight. Rubin Kaza did played well against Barcelona the last game but the luck factor just swung toward Rubin Kaza.
Important thing about tonight will be the movement of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. If they can open the defenders tonight, there is no way to stop Barcelona. Barcelona will find a way to take their revenge back for sure. But the cold weather is also going to play an important role tonight.
Messi is says that Barcelona are not concern about the cold weather and believe the luck factor is going to play an important role and also believe that there are no favorite sides
We aren’t going to think about the cold or about the pitch.
What we’re hoping for is to have a bit more luck than we had in the first match. Tomorrow won’t be a final, but it would be better if we won so we are calmer.
We will play with serenity and with the same mentality in order to keep winning trophies. We don’t need to prove anything to anyone. We know what we’re capable of.
Barcelona are currently the leader but beating Rubin Kaza will surely make every Barcelona fans happy and hopefully without much problem, Barcelona will win the match.

Mighty Barca fall against Rubin Kazan
Oct 22nd
Barca fall against Rubin Kazan
I know, there is nothing to worry about right now, even a team like Barca cannot win every game of their life. Barca havent lost since the last season against Athletic Madrid 4-3 at their home ground.
Messi is really looking very tired and also demoralize after he came back from Argentina. Messi wasnt able to show much of his spark against Rubin Kazan, as they marked Messi very tightly and since Rubin Kazan got their first goal in just 2-3 minutes. They had nothing much to do but defend.
Barca manage to level it, when Xavi gave a superb pass to Ibrahimovic, which he fired.
Barca will have to start gaining confidence, as if Barca gain confidence, Messi will also get confidence. Pep Guardiola should start using Messi as the super sub, so he dont feel bad and also have time to rest.
I know, Barca fans are really upset, but we havent seen Barca losing for such a long time. Its just not going the Barca way, but as always, Barca will rise once again and when they will, they wont stop
