</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The Argentine striker had gone three matches without scoring, evoking criticism for his recent performances. But Barcelona’s No. 10 responded in emphatic fashion. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Messi scored his first from the penalty spot inside the opening 15 minutes, giving him the perfect reprisal for his miss from 12 yards against Sevilla. He had his second soon after with an easy finish six yards out and goal No. 199 came after 28 minutes. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Isaac Cuenca added a fourth with his first senior goal and a stunning Dani Alves strike completed the rout which helped lift Barcelona to the top of the league ahead of Real Madrid’s clash against Sociedad.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Barcelona dominated the early possession but it was Mallorca which came closest to taking the lead when Joao Victor burst onto a low cross only to divert his shot wide of the target.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> And Mallorca was left ruing that miss when it found itself a goal down not long afterwards when Emilio Nsue handled inside the penalty area giving Messi the chance to end his goal draught. The Argentine steadied himself before converting the spot kick in emphatic fashion rifling the ball into the top corner of the net. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Youngster Cuenca then tormented Pedro Bigas before sending a devilish cross to the far post which Adriano volleyed, somewhat fortunately, into the path of Messi to double Barcelona's lead 21 minutes in. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Messi had completed his hat-trick inside 30 minutes with a beautifully taken half-volley after Dani Alves swung a cross into the Argentines path who struck the ball perfectly with his left foot moving his Barcelona record to 199 goals in all competitions.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Barcelona started the second half in similar fashion and had its fourth of the night when Cuenca rounded Aouate before hammering in his first-ever senior goal following Adriano’s intricately placed through-ball. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> There was still time for Alves to add a fifth goal when he attempted an audacious shot from distance which dipped viciously below the crossbar to ensure it was a five-star performance for Guardiola’s men. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Mallorca failed to pressurize the Barcelona defense as the came sauntered to an end with Joaquin Capparros turning his attention to the match against Sevilla in pursuit of his first win as Mallorca’s coach. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The tiny Valencia-based club, whose annual budget of around 20 million euros ($27.7 million) is dwarfed by Barca's approximate 500 million, took the lead through Jose Barkero in the 14th minute before Malaga goalkeeper Willy Caballero was shown a straight red card for handling outside his area.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> His replacement Ruben saved the resulting free kick but Juanlu, one of a slew of Levante players over 30 years old, was quickest to react and poked the loose ball in to double the home side's lead with just over half an hour gone.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> A Ruben howler gifted Levante a third in the 41st minute when he failed to clear and Arouna <span style="color: black;">Kone</span><span style="color: black;">, who scored the only goal in Levante's shock 1-0 win over Real Madrid last month, broke clear to tap the ball into an empty net. </span></span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Levante's fifth successive victory put them level on 17 points with Barca, who are top on goal difference after seven matches.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Ambitious and free-spending <b>Malaga</b>, owned by a member of the Qatar royal family and with a budget of around 150 million euros, are sixth on 13 points. </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> Levante's coach </span>Juan Ignacio Martinez told a news conference it was important to remain realistic about what the club could achieve this season and said avoiding relegation was still the main objective.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> "We have to enjoy this but we know that the league is very long and we are bound to suffer accumulating points," he said.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> "We will achieve our goal of 42 points (to avoid relegation) in April, although hopefully I am wrong about that," he added.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Lineups</b></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Levante (3): </b>Munua; Nano, Ballesteros, Juanfran, Javi Venta; Farinos, Iborra (79' Pallardo), Juanlu (66' El Zhar), Valdo; Koné, Barkero (70' Rubén Suárez)</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><br />

</span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;">Forlán has agreed a two-year contract with the Nerazzurri and will give a press conference on Thursday.

<span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><strong>Villarreal</strong> were expected to put up a fight on Monday night at the <strong>Camp Nou</strong>. They weren't expected to win, of course. It's Barcelona at the Camp Nou. But with Villarreal's strong squad and <strong>Barcelona</strong> missing <strong>Gerard Pique</strong>, <strong>Carles Puyol</strong> and <strong>Daniel Alves</strong>, the tandem of <strong>Giuseppe Rossi</strong> and <strong>Nilmar</strong> was supposed to put the Blaugranas under some pressure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><strong>Guardiola </strong></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;">align their players with a 3-4-3 formation. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;">Barcelona played a back three with no true central defenders, and yet, Villarreal was able to do no such thing. It took them until the 87th minute of the match to put a single shot on target. Nilmar and Rossi hardly touched the ball while Lionel Messi did what Lionel Messi does, turning in a brilliant man of the match performance as Barcelona coasted to a 5-0 victory.<br />
<br />
The newly-christened Argentine captain netted twice and provided an assist, and that doesn't count the dozen other chances he was involved in. Thiago Alcantara looked nothing like a 20-year-old as he scored a goal and provided an assist, while both Cesc Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez were able to net debut goals. Xavi and David Villa were used as substitutes. Barcelona looked better at football than just about anyone has ever looked with Xavi and David Villa on the bench.<br />
<br />
Barcelona moves on to play...oh, who cares. If it's not Real Madrid, it'll just be the same thing all over again. And that's just fine.</span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;">Real Madrid began their Spanish Primera Liga campaign in style on Sunday, as Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in a 6-0 demolition of Real Zaragoza.<br />
<br />
Ronaldo opened the scoring early on after converting Mesut Ozil's pass and defender Marcelo added a second to give the visitors a comfortable advantage at the break.<br />
<br />
The second half was all one-way traffic as Ronaldo helped himself to two more from close range, while Xabi Alonso and Kaka chipped in with superb long- range strikes, as Jose Mourinho's men sounded an early warning to champions Barcelona, who begin the defense of their title at Villarreal on Monday evening. <br />
<br />
"At 2-0 the game was already over and so it depended on whether we played together or individually and the players chose the first option so we won by a big margin," Mourinho told reporters.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;">Granada returned to the Spanish BBVA Primera Liga league after a 35 year absence with a 1-0 loss against Betis this Saturday night.<br />
<br />
There was great expectation and a packed house in the El Carmines Stadium for the game against a Betis side that also returned to top flight action in the Andalusia derby, but the game failed to catch fire with few chances at either end and only two shots on target all match.<br />
<br />
The match was decided by a late header from Betis striker Ruben Castro, although neither team did anything to suggest they will do anything other than struggle this campaign.</span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;">A dramatic late double strike saw Roberto Soldado complete a hat-trick as Valencia beat Racing Santander 4-3 having appeared to be heading for defeat as the new La Liga season finally got underway on Saturday.<br />
<br />
The season was supposed to start a week ago but a strike of a different kind - as players downed tools over wages - meant it was delayed for the first time in 27 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><br />
It started well with Soldado sliding the ball home after keeper Antonio Rodriguez spilled a Pablo Hernandez shot after just one minute on the pitch but he went on to head into his own goal six minutes later before the lively Lautaro Acosta gave Racing the lead after 14 minutes.<br />
<br />
The game appeared to be going away from Valencia as Adrian Gonzalez took advantage of a poor defensive clearance to add to Racing's lead on 56 minutes but then defender Adil Rami reduced the deficit (58).</span><br />

<br />
Standard Sport understands that Fabregas will undergo a medical in the next 48 hours after the two clubs agreed a structured deal of £29.8m (34m euros) up front with a further £5.3m (6m euros) in add-ons.<br />
<br />
The add-ons will be triggered if Fabregas plays at least 60 per cent of Barcelona's matches and the club win at least three major trophies - La Liga or the Champions League - in the next three seasons.<br />
<br />
<strong>Fabregas</strong>, who will sign a five-year contract, trained with Arsenal at London Colney this morning before the rest of his former team-mates travelled up to Newcastle for tomorrow's opening League fixture without him. <br />
<br />
It is thought that Fabregas will be presented to the world's media at a press conference in Barcelona on Monday. <br />
<br />
<strong>Barça</strong> keeper <strong>Victor Valdes</strong> was delighted that the former trainee had rejoined the club he left as a 16-year-old in 2003.<br />
<br />
He said: "I think that today is a great day for Barcelona. I think that Barcelona sign a great player, from here, who will adapt easily to the system of play of the team, with a an engaging quality and of an international level. Cesc is one of the best central midfielders in the world and it is an honour to have him in the team."</span></div>Chowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01898845073064997212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132303954906697069.post-15241850650168525642011-08-06T17:20:00.000-07:002011-08-06T17:20:48.861-07:00Barcelona vs Real Madrid battling for Neymar<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;"></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;">Thiago's impressive form at this summer's Uefa Under-21 championships and in Barcelona's pre-season hasn't gone unnoticed by Del Bosque, and the tactician is ready to give Alcantara a chance to prove his worth next month. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;">Del Bosque could also include the starlet in the squad for the<b> Euro 2012</b> qualifier against Liechtenstein in September to make sure the player's international future is with Spain rather than with Brazil.<br />
<br />
Alcantara is the son of former Brazil international Mazinho and holds a Brazilian passport. He is still eligible to play for the South American nation, as long as he has not played any competitive matches with Spain's senior squad, and Brazil tactician Mano Menezes has recently shown an interest in including him in the future.<br />
<br />
Although Alcantara's unlikely to switch allegiances, Del Bosque does not want to take any risks, and could therefore hand him a call-up for the world champions next month. </span><br />
