slimsky:

This is NOT even a competition.

Krasid:
They know nothing about football.

I will have to agree with you for the fact that C Ronaldo got a vote at all.

63' Barca are getting closer here! The latest player to display a bit of a threat in the final third is Sandro, who cleverly shifts from the left into the danger area before drilling a stinging strike aimed at the centre of the goal. Fuentes doesn't look like he has it covered but he is let off the hook as the shot flies just a yard over. Unlucky!


61' Kaptoum collects possession in a useful position in midfield and quickly moves into space before threading a lovely pass through the middle for the darting run of Munir, but the Barca winger is well marshaled by Tapia, who follows his shadow all the way before ushering the ball back to his goalkeeper.


59' One thing Barcelona will certainly not be happy with is the rather embarrassing amount of times that they have actually managed to test the opposition keeper, Fuentes. The Villanovense stopper would have been expecting his goal to be peppered with attempts tonight, but he has had to deal with barely anything between the sticks.

73' Considering there is indeed a second leg coming up after this clash, perhaps Enrique won't be too hard on his players at full time, but considering that Villanovense are a semi- professional team there must be some part of him that is extremely disappointed his fringe players haven't made an impact.


71' The hosts make their opening change of the match now and it sees Elias, who has struggled to gain possession in truly dangerous areas in the final third, come off to be replaced by Maxo, who was in contention to start the game from the beginning.


69' Villanovense, perhaps predictably, have not displayed the same amount of intensity and vigour that they showed in the opening 45 minutes, and that is certainly understandable considering their opposition. They have put in such a hard shift tonight, but they need to keep up the good work as they still have the second leg to come at the start of December.

still Zeros. ... ha

87' SAAAAAAVE FROM FUENTES! The Villanovense goalkeeper, who has barely been troubled at all in between the sticks tonight, is called into action late on as he is forced to tip a bullet header from Bartra just over the bar! Great stop!


85' Samper moves through the middle and takes advantage of the space available in front of him to drift into a good position around 30 yards out. He attempts to thread an incisive pass into the box for Munir, but Javi Sanchez reads it well and sees possession safely through to the keeper.


83' Sandro seems just a little too eager to impress out there as two or three times now he has opted to have a crack at goal when a pass either side to a team-mate would have been the better option.

Finally over.

Saw Mathieu's speed in it's fullness today

Full time in Villanueva de la Serena. Segunda B minnows Villanovense earn the respect of everyone in Spain as they successfully hold the might of Barcelona to a 0-0 stalemate at home in the first leg clash of the Spanish Cup last 32 tie between the two outfits. The home side this evening arguably had the better of the chances on the night, and can certainly take heart going into the second leg, but it will certainly be a completely different game in many ways at Camp Nou. Los Cules may actually turn up for a start!


90' + 1'Two minutes of added time have been signaled by the referee which is probably about right as we have seen no goals, very little chances, and very little cards. A classic first leg in many ways!


89' Mathieu looks pretty dead on his feet out there at the moment as he has the opportunity to smash a decent delivery into the box from the left wing, only to seemingly stumble and slip before he can make a connection. He is fortuitous in the fact that he earns a corner kick for Barca anyway.

Samper fail to impress again....SMH

The guy is fast.

yes ooh, the guy is very fast, he has like ×3 of Pique's speed

I think Alba is the only defender faster than him! If he is this fast now, I wonder how fast he was when he was younger

Kids!

A 31year old that fast?..Pique should be ashamed of himself.

I think his body structure is responsible for his slow speed, but many center backs are also slow, even Batra is not fast.

Bale comes to mind

Is Pique bigger than Mathieu in terms of body structure?

I dont think its down to body structure. Its more of nature than a cause.

Bolt has a bigger body structure than most of his competitors, but that doesnt mean they come any close to him in terms of speed.

Pique should be taller than Mathieu and his body structure looks more solid than pique's own. Pique is too lanky. Nature Is also part of it sha.

Stop giving excuses bro.He was owned the Gareth 'Barry allen' Bale.A fully fit Bartra would have suffered the same faith.

Barca could not even beat Vilanovense or whatever they are called.SMH.

Newsflash,Alcorcon beat a fully sturded Madrid side 4-0..and they were a fourth division side!!

Chelsea winger Pedro has told friends he regrets ever leaving Barcelona.


Pls help him! He's not used to relegation battle matches.

Pedro wants Barcelona return

Chelsea winger Pedro has told friends he regrets moving to Stamford Bridge and would be open to moving back to former club Barcelona.

LMAO ....no please,Nolito on my mind.

Pedro? No! Munir on my mind.

How did he fail to impress? Although I didnt see the match, but every review that I have set my eyes on praised his performance. In general the team didnt do well, but not to blame it on him. Kaptoum happened to steal the day somewhat.
