FC Barcelona - 3, Racing Santander - 0
FC Barcelona Strolled in to an easy victory against Racing
FC Barcelona started the second half of the season in the perfect style winning 3-0 against Racing Santander at the Camp Nou. This is FC Barcelona's 14th consecutive League victory equalling the record held by Rijkaard's Barcelona 2005-06 team. Pedro opened the scoring pretty early on the match, Messi and Iniesta completed the scoreline. Maxwell, Puyol, Abidal and Adriano made the back four. The midfield had the usual look of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. The front three was the usual Messi, Villa and Pedro.

Real Betis - 3, Barca - 1
Real Betis gave Barca their first defeat in long time
FC Barcelona lost their undefeated streak against the most unlikely of all opponents - Real Betis. We went in to this match on the back of our 28 consecutive undefeated match and was expecting to add one more to the list. But Real Betis had some other plans. When Guardiola said in the pre-match conference that he is going for the win, everybody thought that he was extending his usual niceties in the match. But the team he put on the field showed that victory was all he had in mind. Pique and Milito formed the centre of defense. Maxwell and Adriano occupied the flanks. The midfield had Xavi, Mascherano and Keita. The front trio had Afellay, Messi and Bojan formed an unusual front trio. The earlier match ended with Almeria winning against Deportivo and has now booked a semi-final clash against Barcelona. Almeria was thrashed 8-0 last time when we played them, but they should consider themselves in a much better form following this result and the Real Madrid result.
