... Liverpool in the last 16 in 2007.

Fc Barcelona Has Master Plan To Conquer America From Its New York City Offices

... plans in the United States for as many as 20 academies with regular camps and for its foundation to help at-risk school children. And, of course, to further build and monetize its brand in North America. The New York City office was opened on Sept. 6 by the club’s Brazilian former superstar playmaker Ronaldinho, who has since become an official ambassador to do the difficult work of going to the NBA All-Star Game and taking pictures with Steph Curry. During New York Fashion Week, the club hosted a reception for the Custo Barcelona brand. But those are just photo ops to announce its arrival. And while it helps to be closer to American sponsors – currently Nike, Gatorade, Black & Decker and Gillette – and establish a beachhead to sign up more of them, the larger objective is to cement the American fan base. The club claims, citing the Nielsen Sports agency’s findings, that its following in the United States is already larger than that of any other club in the world, counting some 20 million people and recently wresting the lead ...

Lionel Messi Pickpockets Atleti To Send Barca Top Of La Liga

... Rafinha's scrappy second-half opener having been cancelled out by Diego Godin's header, yet Messi's late strike in a 2-1 success seriously dented Atleti's own title aspirations as their winless run against Luis Enrique's men was extended to 20 domestic games. Twelve days on from their 4-0 drubbing against Paris St Germain in the Champions League, Enrique approached their next away game by deploying a back three of Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti and Jeremy Mathieu - not that the formation tweak prevented Atleti from finding holes in the defence. Yannick Carrasco failed to take advantage when losing Sergi Roberto at the back post and Godin stabbed over after Umtiti failed to clear a corner. Gabi steered a half volley from the edge of the area straight at Marc-Andre ter Stegen before a first chance arrived for Antoine Griezmann when his goal-bound effort was blocked by Umtiti. Another defensive lapse, this time from Pique, allowed Griezmann to unleash a fierce attempt with his less-favoured right boot which Ter Stegen did well to tip over. The visitors' attacking triumvirate had been nullified until the 29 th minute when Neymar lead a break that ...

... Gijón. Own goal 1 Free Kicks 1. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 2 (11 mins - Luis Suarez) Sporting Gijon 0. Well, this match might be over already. Neymar's pass splits the Gijon defence, allowing Suarez to round the goalkeeper and slot into the empty net via a deflection. The defensive line from Sporting Gijon for that goal was atrocious. Messi was at least two yards onside when the pass was played over the top. Not good enough. Must be tighter. Goal Lionel Messi FC Barcelona. Goals 1 On target 1. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 1 (9 mins - Lionel Messi) Sporting Gijon 0. That's just too easy!
