Lionel Messi is set to miss out on the return leg of Spanish Super Cup clash against Atletico Madrid. Messi injured himself and had to be substituted midway through the match which ended at 1-1. Even with an away goal the tie remains balanced. The away goal is a huge plus for us, but that would be difficult to defend as we have a porous defense for sometime. Find the Messi injury video below:
Goals from new boys David Villa and Neymar made for an exciting 1-1 draw at the Vicente Calderon. With a vital away goal we will play the second leg at home on next Wednesday.
It's always fun to look back into a game where your team has demolished the opponents with no mercy. Agreed, it was a 7-0 demolition of one of the poorest of the other sides in La Liga. But still it's nice. The first half performance was something like a dream where we just terrorized the Levante defense. They didn't know what to do at times and was literally overpowered in terms of numbers at times in the box. Like my commentator said "It would be a great success for Levante if they could take the ball to the half line". But how much should we read from this performance? Some would argue that considering Levante has constantly managed to trouble us in past encounters, this performance is epic! But let's be honest, we played Levante at the worst possible time for them and the best possible time for us. They have just started playing under Joaquín Caparrós; they lost their best players in the summer and had more than two players making their debut last night. They were never ready to face us; none of that is our problem.
