There are some players who don't need a formal introduction and Xavi Hernández is one of them. He's the best midfielder in the world and the player who played more games in the history of Barcelona.
The Spanish Football Federation wants to avoid problems as the one from the last Osasuna - Barça (aka: Mission Impossible), in which the visitors (aka us) arrived late to the game (should we remind that it was their fault? Oh, wait...) , and they are going to propose a change of the law: all the teams must stay the night before every game from La Liga BBVA and Copa del Rey away from home. As "El Mundo" says, they need the approval of its members, but they shouldn't have any problem with it , as most of the clubs are in favour.

By Matthias Krug Consider a world without Argentine superstar Lionel Messi.
It is hard to imagine, but with the exception of Real Madrid supporters, millions of football fans around the planet should be eternally thankful to one Catalan of whom they have probably never heard.

Pinto, Puyol, Abidal, Maxwell, Adriano, Mascherano, Keita, Bojan, Jeffren, Pedro, Miño, Bartra, Fontàs, Thiago, Dos Santos and Nolito.
As you can see, many of our babies are playing too! However our HBIC elitists Andresito, Leo and Villa are on holiday, granted by Pep since they fucking can. Think about it - a Barca game WITHOUT Villa or Messi - time to break out the bb strikers!
Additional info: Pinto had to miss training due to family problems - let's have a #pintoprayercircle that everything is WEAH! ok!
Xavi and Milito are still on their injury trainings.
Also, as I recently found out :P, Ceuta is in Africa, so the team will fly to Malaga and take a helicopter to Ceuta. (let's hope Pique's facebook takes tons of pics!)
