THe 15 greatest goal in CL ever.FC Barcelona Anthem – El Cant del Barca
What is that song that FC Barcelona play every after game at the Camp Nou?
Answer
The song is called El Himne or Cant del Barça and here’s the first verse in Catalan followed by the translation in English.
Tot el camp
es un clam
som la gent Blau Grana
Tan se val d’on venim
Si del sud o del nord
ara estem d’acord
estem d’acord
una bandera ens agermana.
Blau Grana al vent
un crit valent
tenim un nom
el sap tothom
Barça!, Barça!, Baaaarça!!!!
Jugadors
Seguidors
tots unit fem força
son molts d’anys plens d’afanys
son molts gols que hem cridat
i s’ha demostrat
s’ha demostrat
que mai ningú no ens podrà tòrcer
Blau Grana al vent
un crit valent
tenim un nom
el sap tothom
Barça!, Barça!, Baaaarça!!!!
In English
The whole stadium
Makes a noise
We are the blaugrana people
It doesn’t matter where we come
Whether it’s from north or south
All of us are in agreement
A flag makes us brothers
Blaugrana to the wind
A valiant shout
We’ve got a name that everyone knows
Barça! Barça! BAAAAAAAAAARÇA!
OK. I know the translation isn’t brilliant but you get the general idea. It’s really rousing stuff and we all love singing at Camp Nou or even in the bar whilst we’re watching the game. Needless to say, we sang it a lot last season.
Anyway, here’s a video of the song. Feel free to sing along.
AC Milan 2-0 Real Madrid – 7/9/2009
Here’s a video of the Borgonovo Testimonial game between Milan and Madrid veterans.
Looking at names like Buyo, Sanchis and the magnificent Butragueño reminds me that the New Galácticos will have problems living up to the Madrid legend.
Anyway, here’s the stats.

Round Two – Pellegrini’s Got His Work Cut Out
Although I hope that Barça win La Liga for the second year on the trot, what I really want to see is a well-fought competition – and that means more than just competition from Real Madrid.
For La Liga to fulfill its potential as The Best League in the World – with the permission of the EPL – we need to see Sevilla, Atlético, Villarreal and Valencia fighting for more than just Champions and Europa League places. However, after only one game, it looks like this season’s Liga will follow a similar pattern to last year.
Sevilla lost in Mestalla and Atlético got thrashed by Málaga, so I won’t be surprised if Barça and Madrid are ten points clear at the top of the table come December. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen because it’d be very bad news for Spanish Football.
This week we’ll get a better idea of whether La Liga is going to be a two horse race or not. Espanyol-Madrid and Getafe-Barça are two interesting tests for the favourites - debuting in their new stadium and with the memory of Jarque still very present, Espanyol have got a lot of reasons to put up a fight and an unpredictable Getafe are a very tough nut to crack on a good day.
I think most of us agree that Barça start La Liga with a slight advantage over Pellegrini’s Real Madrid because they
Pellegrini has a tough job ahead of him
already play as a team, whereas the Bernabéu boys are as yet a group that relies on flashes of brilliance from individual players. The big question is whether the undeniable quality of Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema will be enough to follow the pace that Barça has already set by winning the two Super Cups.
Comparisons between the two squads are inevitable, and I must admit that I glance down the list of names that make up this Real Madrid side and some of my culé bravado fades. However, it remains to be seen whether this group of superstars will actually work well together as a block.
Barça have signed fewer players, but the three signings are players that were definitely on Guardiola’s Wish List. Chygrynskiy will be key in the centre of the defence, while with Maxwell on one flank and Alves on the other, the backs will be coming up to join the attack even more often than they did last season.
Guardiola ready for the season ahead
Having watched quite a few videos now, there’s no doubt in my mind that Ibrahimovic is a potentially great player but his role in the side will be very different from Samuel Eto’o. He’s more classy and stylish but I doubt whether he’ll score as many goals and he’s still got his work cut out to get himself in the right position for when Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, in particular, start to work their magic.
But the fact remains that Barça only have to adapt their game for one player whilst not even Pellegrini could predict Madrid’s starting line-up in a month’s time. And what’s more the ‘cantera’ factor means that Barça’s theoretical substitutes know the 4-3-3 philosophy like the back of their hands and both they themselves and the fans are confident that should anything go awry, they’ll slot into the first team just like veterans.
Anyway here are this week’s games . . .

Spain 5-0 Belgium Goals & Highlights 05.09.09
I have to admit that I was a bit miffed at La Liga stoppage but it’s very nice to see La Roja tear yet another side to pieces.
Spain continued their seemingly unstoppable march towards next year’s World Cup finals after thrashing Belgium in La Coruna to record their seventh win out of seven in Group Five.
Although Spain are still not yet assured of a place in South Africa after second-placed Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Armenia 2-0 earlier in the evening, it seems only a matter of time before the European champions seal their spot as they are six points clear with three games to go.
Valencia duo David Villa and David Silva both netted braces in the win, while Gerard Pique added the other. Villa also missed a first-half penalty when the game was goalless.
Pique really is going to be one of the players of the next decade and with Villa and Silva still at Mestalla, you’ve got to fanct Valencia in La Liga this season.

UEFA Champions League 2008-09 : Lionel Messi
It’s worth buying a Spain Football Ticket just to see Lionel Messi in action.
In the 2008-09 Champions League campaign, he scored 9 goals in 12 games and this video shows all all of them.
He scored 2 in the first game against Shaktar Donetsk and two more against FC Basel – one in each match. Then he scored another against Sporting Lisbon. One more against Olympique Lyonnais. There were two more against Bayern Munich.
And then came the best of all – his header in the Champions League Final against Manchester United in Rome.

GOL KARIM BENZEMA 26 MIM
Second Half

Benzema’s first real exhibition for Real Madrid. The Meregues thrash Rosenborg 4-0 and lift the Santiago Bernabéu Trophy
REAL MADRID : Iker Casillas , Alvaro Arbeloa (Pepe), Garay , Raul Albiol , Marcelo (Drenthe) , Xabi Alonso (Esteban Granero), Lassana Diarra , Cristiano Ronaldo (Guti) , Kaka (Van Nistelrroy) , Raul (Arjen Robben) , Karim Benzema (Gonzalo Higuain)

Coach : Erik Hamren
The Real Madrid fans who bought tickets to watch the last friendly before the merengues official Liga debut in the season went home very happy. Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and company beat Rosenborg very convincingly.
Benzema (two), and Lass Diarra and Raúl scored the goals in the game.
Besides Kaka, the Brazilian defender Marcelo also had a great game. In fact, it was he that put through the excellent pass that resulted in the first goal.
Lass Diarra put Real Madrid two up with a scorcher from outside the box in Min 25. It was nice to see Benzema put some nice football together with Cristiano Ronaldo for the third.
In the second half, Raul put away the fourth goal with his head and it looked like there was going to be a rout. But both teams began to make substitutions and the pace of the game dropped considerably.
This Real Madrid has moments of brilliance but the players need to get to know each other better.

This was one of the greatest games (if you’re a Barça fan) in recent memory – it came at a nailbiting point in the season and, although Barcelona were 4 points clear, you had the feeling that whoever won the game would go on to win La Liga.
So when Higuain put Real Madrid 1-0 up in min 13, all the cules’ hearts were in their mouths. Four minutes later Thierry Henry equalised, the Great Captain Puyol scored in the 20th and then Argentinian genius Leo Messi in the 35th. So Barça went into the break 3-1 up and bottles of cava were being cracked open on the Ramblas of Barcelona.
In the second half Sergio Ramos got one back for the Madridistas in min 55 but then the Barça festival began.
Three more goals – Henry 57′, Messi 74′ and a much celebrated goal from young Gerard Pique in Min 82 and the Final Score was an incredible Real Madrid 2 FC Barcelona 6.
Real Madrid never really recovered and Barcelona went on to have the best season in their history winning Copa del Rey, Liga and Champions League.
2009-10 is another season, though, and with star signings Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema and Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid will be out for revenge.
