The Champions League campaign has come to an end this season. However, Barca is still the best in Europe. Internazionale has displayed a defence worth acknowledgement. The Liga war is still on and we hope for the prestigious silverware to be back in Camp Nou.

Want to relive the moment when we went to the Finals

I feel so proud and fortunate about being able to write the great deeds of the Blaugranas. The El Classico in Madrid has turned out as sweet as could be for us. Was not able to catch the action except the goals and in those clips, the Madrid defence looked as ordinary as it could be. Messi turned on the heat again... and probably hit one more nail into the coffin of hopes of other footballers for the 'Footballer of the year' award.

Pedro, looking as good as ever doubled the lead and Cassilas knew it was over. Chris Ronaldo's expressions on the camera was enough for all to make out how he is regretting not being in Man U...and Man U too is regretting the same.

Barca is back where it belongs..the top spot in Liga.

Its just a matter of few games and one more loss for Madrid would mean that there is virtually no stopping Barca in Espana.

The boys have done it again. With the El Classico lurking ahead, Barcelona has proved why they are the current World champions in club football. Arsenal came into Nou Camp hoping for a victory, or at least a draw with 2 away goals. But that was not destined to be. Even for Arsenal's standards, it was way too much to ask for from the European club champions. The final scoreline was drafted as Messi 4, Arsenal 1.

It was sheer class of the Argentine prodigy which resulted in such a scoreline. As a finisher, Messi has outclassed one of the best who ever played. Right from Arsene Wenger, commentators to the neutral sports enthusiasts, there was this unanimous decision: Barcelona was THE BEST in Europe and there is no shame accepting defeat against them. Call it fair play, call it the grace, the skills, the technique or the causes they support...Barca is the most brightest club in Europe. Match started without Puyol and Pique from the Blaugranas and several other stars from the Gunners including Fabregas. Even Ibra and Henry was not in the starting line up. But there was this little man in the red and blue stripes with a golden number 10 on his shirt, who turned the heat on the 1-0 lead taker Arsenal. He scored 4 times with the obvious support from his fellowmen, each one a gem! The last one he scored almost standing, the Arsenal defence had completely lost it.

This game was one to be remembered: this showed why you don't take Messi lightly, this showed why he was called and I quote "..the best of his generation.."

He is the apple of the eyes of fans like us, may he don the red and blue stripes with the magical number 10 forever! It would cost more than just teardrops and heartbreak when that does not happen.

Lionel Messi, salute to you!

Europe was looking towards London last night, when our Catalan heroes arrived at the Emirates stadium for the UEFA Champions League 1st Leg Quarter Final tie. Right from the word 'go', Barca, started their attack and as many as 5 to 6 attempts were miraculously blocked by Almunia. I guess my roommates were almost awakened by my sighs each time Barca missed the net. As usual Barca was, in ways more than one, the better team and both the audience as well as statistics would agree. Arsenal maintained the sheets clean till the break. Ibra netted in right after the half time and it looked like luck has finally let Arsene Wenger down. However, with cruel turn of events, Arsenal broke the Barca defence successfully. Pique was unlucky enough to be shown a card. He misses the 2nd leg. The next incident was far more disgraceful. But I suppose, we have to accept some things against us after what happened at Stamford Bridge last year in the Semis. Puyol was very unjustifiably shown a Red card and Fabregas converted the penalty resulting out of it. Final score stands 2-2 and thus, the minimum target needed for Puyol-less and Pique-less Barca at home next week is a 1-1 draw. 0-0 would be better but no other combination of a draw, let alone a loss, would be enough for Barca to survive.

But on the next matchday, I am expecting the Blaugranas to go for the kill. After all, it will be played in front of the 90000 fan strong Nou Camp!
