As expected Lionel Messi won this year's Ballon d'Or to be crowned as the best player in Europe. It was an expected result with a record margin of victory. Cristiano Ronaldo finished second with 233 points while Lionel messi amased a record 473 points. Xavi received 170 points finishing third while Iniesta received 149 points finishing fourth. Samuel Eto'o finished fifth while new Barca recruit Ibrahmovic finished seventh. It was quite surprising to see Ronaldo finish second. He had a good season last year, but not an exceptional. For me last year Rooney was Manchester United's best player. And it is surprising to see the football's greates pundits in Europe failing to recognise the contribution of midfielders or defenders. Puyol never made it to the top thrity list whereas Toure finished 28th with 1 point. But for me the biggest dissappointment was not seeing Xavi finish second. He along with Iniesta was the creative organiser in the Barcelona side. His national team form was exceptional unlike Ronaldo or Messi. But then it is not a surprise as the Europe's soccer pundits proved their bias by not including Iniesta in the nominees last season.
The enitire list is give below :
1 Lionel Messi (Argentina, Barcelona), 473 points
2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Real Madrid), 233

Zlatan Scores in his Clasico debut; FC Barcelona-1, Real Madrid-0
FC Barcelona won the first edition of this season's Clasico with a solitary strike from Zlatan Ibrahmovic. Zlatan scored in the 56th minute after being introduced five minutes before in the place of Thierry Henry. After the sensational display at Bernebeu last year, people might have been disappointed by Barca's display tonight. This wasn't a typical Barcelona performance and it shows that the team has not yet hit the top gear. The most important thing from tonight's match is that we have regained the lead from Real Madrid and now has a two point advantage at the top. Guardiola lined up Alves, Pique, Puyol and Abidal in the defense. The midfield had Busquets playing along with Xavi and Keita. Iniesta, Henry and Messi formed the attacking trio. Ibra surprisingly started from the bench; maybe Guardiola thought it was risky to start both Messi and Zlatan after coming of injury.
Real Madrid came out on top in the early exchanges. Ronaldo and Kaka looked very dangeros from the start. Camp Nou faithfuls was whistling at every moment when Ronaldo had possession. In the 7th minute Ronaldo ran past Puyol on the left wing and sent in a great cross to Marcelo, who shot high. In the 9th minute Messi skipped past defenders and finds Henry but his shot was straight at casillas. In the 20th minute the entire Camp Nou was stunned for a second when they thought Ronaldo has put Real ahead. Kaka setup Ronaldo spotting his run past Pique but Valdes produced a stunning save to deny the Portuguese winger. That save became crucial as far theresult is concerned. Kaka was looking dangerous as the creative midfielder. He found Marcelo in an excellent position in the 26th minute but Puyol produced a stunning save denying the Brazilian. Barca were struggling to produce their free flowing football, but they started getting into the match neutralising Real Madrid. There was not much chances till the half time, only there were some pretty bad challenges.
The second half saw Barca coming with more intent. In the 46th minute Iniesta sent in a great cross into the box, but was cleared by Albiol. In the 51st minute Guardiola took Henry off and brought in Ibrahmovic. In the 53rd minute Madrid sets off on a counter from Barca corner; Higuain turns inside and look set to shopt but Puyol produced another stunning block. That proved to be crucial as Ibra scored on the other end in the 56th minute with an excellent finish. Alves send in a high cross to the far post, Ibra volleyed int the corner on the run. After the goal Barcelona was looking to take control of the match. But Busquets was expelled in the 62nd minute for a second yellow card after a stupid handball. that made the rest of the game interesting as Real tried their best to equalise. Guardiola read the situation immediately and brought in Toure for Keita. You can't afford to have a defensive midfielder missing against Real Madrid. In the 70th minute Pique wasted a great chance to seal off the game whne he headed over from a free kick. In the 81st minute Benzema failed to convert from a promising position. Real Madrid was applying all the pressure to get the equaliser. But it was Messi who came close to a goal in the dying moments. In the 89th minute Casillas pulled out a stunning save to deny messi from a great position. But in the end Zlatan strike proved to be enough.
This was no classic performance from Barca. It shows that this team is not yet hit the top gear. Busquets performance was very poor. He looked very vulnerable with quick taleneted foot players in the middle. Puyol was the best player for Barca. I had to appreciate Guardiola's good thinking tonight. I don't regard him as a great tactician. But tonight he read the situations well. He brought in Zlatan for Henry early on giving a much longer chance for Ibra. He also brought in Toure for Keita once Busquets was sent off.

Time To Go Back to Top; FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid visits Camp Nou tonight with a one point lead at the top of the table over FC Barcelona. Real Madrid has not reached their top form, and the fact that they still holds a lead over Barca say how tough this league is going to be this season. In my last post, i have written abou the El Clasico being the most pivotal matches in this season. FC Barcelona has not yet set the league on fire and has been very inconsistent away from home. But their home form has been good and we will be pinning on that to see us through this game. Guardiola has almost the entire squad back with him. After beating Inter with three of their regulars missing, confdence will not be missing in this team. Butstill Guardiola has a tough job. He has to make the call where he has to bring Messi, Ibrahmovic and Toure back to starting eleven straight after the injury lay off. Usually any injured star will be brought back into the game gradually, but then this is no ordinary match - it is the El Clasico. No player would want to miss this match.
Valdes definitely will be the one expected to guard the goal. He did some mistakes against Inter with his non-sense passing and will be hoping to make none of those. Alves, Puyol Pique and Abidal will be our preferred back four. Iniesta and Xavi will provide the creativity in the middle but I don't expect Toure to feature in starting eleven. Busquets then could be the ideal defensive midfielder choice. Busquets had a great night against Inter, because he decided to remain strong. He didn't go down looking for fouls and should be looking to do the same tonight also. Messi, Ibrahmovic will definitely featurein the atatcking trio but it is not yet clear who among Pedro and Henry will feature on left. pedro has been in great form but my call will be to put Henry in as that gives more experience to the side. Pedro could be brought in the second half to add more speed to attack, if necesssary.
There have been so many war calls from different players as the El Classico build up. Real Madrid will be looking to rase the memory of the 6-2 drubbing last season. In normal circumastances any team which has gone down by such huge margin would take a defensive approach when viviting us. But then this is Real Madrid, a team assembled with more than 250 million of hard earned money. So you can expect a sensatonal attacking display from both the teams. Ronaldo is expected to feature in this game and Barca fans already looks like have great plans for his visit. This could be another sensational El Clasico match. But I don't expect Real Madrid to come to Camp Nou and shock us. I predict a 3-1 victory for Barca.

How significant is "El Classico", nowadays?
The "El Classico " is almost upon us and football lovers around all over the world will be making sure that they don't miss this one. On Sunday, November 29 the world of football will be brought to a standstill as the gods of football clash at the Camp Nou. The Real Madrid - Barca rivalry is one of the oldest rivalries in the world of football. No footballing rivalries might have so much political influence like the El Classico. May be the Inida - Pakistan clashes are the only one which is similiar to the Barca - Real clash. It has always been considered as the clash of two political ideologies, rather than footballing ideologies. Definitely Real Madrid vs Barcelona clash is a clash of two footballing philosophies, but the political reasons have always dominated these clashes. For Barca supporters it has been always a clash between the oppressor and the oppressed. The closeness of Real Madrid to the centre of power has resulted in Real Madrid being branded as the club of the dictator, Franco. Even though Real Madrid supporters and management has also suffered at the hand of Franco, this notion still remains across the world. In that sense FC Barcelona supporters always believe that a clash against Real Madrid is against the ideals of Franco. Many may not agree with me, but I have seen in many discussion groups - sentiments of the same. It was during the reign of Franco, FC Barcelona truly became "More Than a Club"(as their moto say). FC Barcelona matches was the place where the progressive thinking Spanish nationals gathered to voice their protest. Catalunya was the birth place of all the modern thinking in Spain and subsequently became the centre place of protest against the cruelty of Franco.
The "El Classico" of nowadays is not at all a clash of political ideologies any more. It has to do with the fact that in modern Spain, Barcelona emerged as a real powerhouse rivalring Madrid. Even though the Catalunya movement is still strong and has huge following in Catalonia, it is no more linked with these rivalries. But the modern day Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona matches are still a very significant clash. It is now a clash between two very successful footballing ideologies. FC Barcelona's footballing ideologies has been based on their youth set-up at La Masia and their unending quest to play the beautiful game, the right way. Meanwhile Real Madrid youth setup is as good as Barca's but their philosophies work on buying the best and being the best. The first Galacticos Era with his initial success has become the philosophies on which Madrid operates nowadays. Money is not at all a problem for Real. We Barca fans claim that our philosophies are morally right, but the Madrid fans are also going to do the same. So there is no point in debating which one is morally the right philosophies, none of us are going to give an inch. Whatever it means, Sunday's clash at Camp Nou is the real clash of Barca and Real ideologies, I mean footballing. This is a clash between a Real Madrid side, who has been stiched together with over 250 million dollars and a FC Barcelona side which has seen majority of the stars coming out of La Masia. Real Madrid have brought some of the best players in money whereas Barca produced those great players in their side.
Hence, a "El Classico" may not have a political influence of the older times, but it is still a clash of two contrasting ideologies. But above all it is one of the biggest marketing fiesta in modern day football. El Classico's importnace is always huge in a season as it is always a match between two title contenders. Spanish football is dominated by the two powerhouses based in Barcelona and Madrid. These two clubs always remain the real title contenders and a clash between these two at many times, decides the title. This El Classico will be different. This one above all will be a clash of footballing ideologies because of the way the teams are assembled.

Uefa Champions League Highlights
One Foot on Knockout Stage; FC Barcelona - 2, Inter - 0
For the second time in a row, I got my Champions League prediction spot on. FC Barcelona registered a 2-0 comfortable victory over Inter at the Camp NOu keeping their qualification hopes very well alive. In the other match in the group, Rubin drew with Kiev; that was a great result for Barca. Now if Barca can avoid a 3-0 defeat at Kiev, we will be in the knockout stage. Courtesy of this performance from the thoughts of qualification, the focus has shifted to topping the group. When Guardiola announced that Barca didn't need Ibrahmovic and Messi to defeat Inter, everyone had their doubts. The goals from Pique and Pedro proved him right. Abidal was earlier reported to have H1N1 flu, but it turned out to be false. So Guardiola had the familiar formation of Alves, Pique, Puyol and Abidal in defense. The midfield as expected had Xavi, Busquets and Keita. Iniesta , Henry and Pedro formed the attacking trio. In my preview I have written that moving Henry to centre-forward position may prove counter productive. Henry did struggle in his role but Pedro was exceptional on the left and two goals at the right time also meant that we wasn't bothered by the fact that Henry had an average game.
Inter only needed a draw to improve their chances for qualification. Their approach at the beginning proved that they were not looking for anything more than a draw. That helped Barca a lot. Barca started the game with great intent. In the 7th minute Iniesta, who was constantly moving into midfield send in a great cross to Xavi in the middle, but Xavi couldn't connect. Then in the 10th minute Barca went ahead in an unlikely fashion. Xavi's corner was flicked and lifted by Henry at the near post and Pique at the far post made no mistake. That was a classic old style of taking corners. That early goal meant Inter have a huge task ahead. But Inter looked not very much interested in getting back to the game. In the 15th minute Xavi saw his free kick go just high from outside the box. Thne in the 26th minute Pedro made the scoreline with a good finish. It was a trademark Barca move, Xavi received the ball from Iniesta in the middle and send in a pass spotting a long run by Alves on the right, only Xavi could see his run, Alves then send in a cross spotting Pedro on the far post who made no mistake with his finish. In the 25th minute Valdes who was virtually non-existent till that time made a horrendous mistake from a Abidal back pass, but luckily Stankovic shot went sailing over the crossbar. In the 45th minute Keita saw his header from an Alves corner being held by Julio Cesar.
The second half lacked the tempo of the first half. Barca were more interested in protecting their lead. BUt it cannot be forgotten that they at times displayed some great skills in ball possession. In the 54th minute Xavi almost nade it 3-0 with a great header from an Alves cross but Julio Cesar pulled out a magnificent one hand save. In the 68th minute Julio Cesar pulled out another fine save to deny Alves free kick. Guardiola brought in Bojan for Pedro in the 85th minute. Pedro received a very much deserving standing ovation from the Camp Nou faithfuls. In the 89th minute Maxwell replaced Abidal and in the 93rd minute Jonathan Dos Santos made his Champions League debut replacing Iniesta.
This was a good performance by the ream especially considering that Messi and Ibra were absent. Pedro was exceptional and it is to be seen wehether he gets picked ahead of Hnery in El Classico. Iniesta looked much better that his previous games. There were his usual turns, tricks and passing. He is not at his very best but he is still so dangerous. He showed great vision to drop into midfield and organise play along with Xavi. This performance also calls upon Guardiola to use the 4-4-2 system sometimes, especially with teams which are intended to defend. Xavi simply was the best Barca player on the pitch. He created everything, his vision finding Alves on the right for the second goal was simply out of this world. The rest of the players played their part. It will be really unfortunate to criticize Henry for his performance as he is not used to playing in centre role nowadays.

23rd November 2009: Liverpool 1: Debrecen 0
23/11/09 Champions League Liverpool 1: Debrecen 0
Despite doing just enough to win their tie against Debrecen, Liverpool are out of the champions league. According to Carragher this is not a catastrophe and the Uefa Europa League will be just as much fun. I doubt the owners and fans agree.
Liverpool had most of the possession and the chances of the miracle Rafa was waiting for did increase after Ngog beat a very shaky Debrecen defence early in the match. However Juan Vargas ended the Scousers' and Rafa's dreams after half an hour when he put Fiorentina into the lead against Lyon from the penalty spot. Lyon did get close in the dying minutes of the fixture but unfortunately for the Liverpool fans there was no cigar.
It could however have been worse for Liverpool as Debrecan's Gergely Rudolf almost equalised late in the match. Lucas also got quite a lot of criticism from the Liverpool fans. Tough times for Rafa and the players ahead.

23rd November 2009 Champions League Results: Arsenal 2: Standard Liege 0
23/11/09 Champions League Arsenal 2: 0 Standard Liege
Arsenal went into this clash knowing they only needed one point to qualify, although after the defeat at Sunderland at the weekend and with Chelsea to face to Sunday, a decisive result would be a useful confidence boost.
Despite the gooners being in total control of the first half, it was far from stress free for Arsene Wenger. There is little doubt that the lead was well deserved (a clever Nasri strike and a poor keeper response to an opportunistic Denilson attempt from 30 yards), however a clash of heads which left a shell shocked Gallas with a swollen eye and Arshavin with blood oozing from his head must have got the frenchman worrying about what team he'd be able to field against Chelsea on Sunday. With the league leaders 8 points ahead, Wenger will not want any of his first team joining Van Persie on the injury list. However both players managed to get back on to the pitch before the half time whistle.
Although the Gooners did not boss the second half quite as well as they bossed the first, it was a job well done. Fabregas also demonstrated that at 23 he is a player of maturity as well as talent by not reacting to a headbutt from a frustrated Carcela-Gonzales, which led to the Liege player being shown the red card in the late stages of the game.
