Barcelona in its usual careless style squandered a two goal early lead to drew the match at Nou Camp. Santi Ezquerra put Barcelona infront with just two minutes in the clock and doubled the lead after exactly eight minutes. But Barcelona again struggled two find a third and finish the game. Instead they managed to concede two goals and lose all the positives from the game. In my preview report I have said the important of winning. If you look Madrid team of last season, when they made that unbelievable fight back after Christmas they were winning all the matches. They were not winning pretty, but they were winning mostly scrapping through. But the most important thing was that with every win they were gaining momentum for the final assault for the Championship. I do agree we did field a kind of second string side, but still they were expected to win the Match. Watching the highlights of the match, a strange idea stroked my head. The chances of Barcelona winning the La Liga title looks very bleak and if the form continues like this we will not make further inroads in Champions League, then isn't it better to concentrate all your energy on one trophy - Copa Del Rey (we haven't won it since 97-98). Maybe it is a crazy idea, then sometimes crazy ideas might work. Any way Highlights of the matches (mostly Goals) are below.

Looking Forward for a Brighter 2008
F C Barcelona will play their first match of New Year when they take on C D Alcoyano in the Spanish Cup match second Leg at Camp Nou. The match looks like already settled with Barcelona's 3-0 away victory. And more over Alcoyano don't have the power to repeat a Getafe of Last season.Eto'o,Henry,Iniesta,Oleguer and Toure will miss the match due to injury along side Lionel Messi. Barcelona will be looking to kick away the dissappointment of the defeat against Madrid. They needed to win what all that come their way to mount a serious challenge for title this season. Alway Remember "Winning is a habit. Winning is a mindset. Winning is an attitude".
