As I write this Barcelona will be taking on Athletic Bilbao in a few short hours, which will be their 2nd official La Liga match this season. Coach Frank Rijkaard has said the following about the opposition:

We have suffered down the years to produce a result against them. We will have to be focussed and to work hard to achieve our aim. They are very well organised at the back.

Moving on, the other day Barcelona took on Inter Milan to take out the honour of having the Gamper Trophy, I spoke about it in the last post. Barcelona showed their tenacious attacking capabilities against a depleted Inter, who were missing some big names, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who happens to be my second favourite footballer, after Ronaldinho. On that note, the Brazillian scored the first goal of the match with a penalty kick given to him by young Mexican Giovani Dos Santos. You can find that goal and the highlights of the match below: (I’ll be covering the Athletic Bilbao match tomorrow, so hang around)
