FC Barcelona - 4, Malaga - 1
FC Barcelona took full advantage of Real Madrid slip
FC Barcelona won their 17th consecutive win of the season with a 4-1 demolition of Malaga at the Camp Nou. By doing so we have now moved four points clear of our arch-rival Real Madrid. Iniesta opened the scoring followed by Villa, Pedro and again Villa to complete the tally. With a four point lead Real Madrid needs help from some of their Liga rivals if they wish to catch Barca this season. But again that very much depend on us. We went into the game knowing that real Madrid has been held to a draw by bottom placed Almeria and it was a clear chance to increase the lead on top to four points. Guarddiola lined up with Puyol, Pique, Alves and Abidal. The midfield had Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. Messi, Pedro and Villa formed the front trio.

FC Barcelona - 5, Real Betis - 0
FC Barcelona Beat Real betis 5-0 in Copa Del Rey Quarter Final first Leg
The newly crowned FIFA-Balon D'Or World Player of Year, Lionel Messi celebrated his scuccess in grand style scoring a hat-trick in the first leg of Copa Del Rey quarter final clash against Real Betis. The scoreline would give us an impression of a very easy outing, but it wasn't that easy. Real Betis should consider themselves unlucky to have lost by a 5-0 margin. Apart from Messi Pedro and Keita scored the rest for Barca. Lionel Messi displayed his FIFA-Balon D'Or to the Camp Nou crowd in a night where three of them - Iniesta, Messi and Xavi all were honoured. We lined up with a very strong eleven with Pinto on goal, Alves, Puyol, Pique and Maxwell and in defense. Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets were in the midfield. The front trio had the usual formation of Pedro, Messi and Villa. It was clear from the line-up that Guardiola wanted the tie to end tonight and that was what his team did.

Lionel Messi Crowned The FIFA - Balon D'Or 2010 World Player of the Year
In an absolutely proud night for FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi won the inaugral FIFA- Balon D'OR World Player of the Year. The award was presented by Pep Guardiola . Everyone of us expected either Xavi or Iniesta to pick it up this year, but have to admit that it finally went to the Best Player in the World. Since this award has combined both FIFA WPOY and Balon D'Or together, he has successfully defended both the individual award he won last year.
Brazilian footballer Marta won The Women's World Player of the Year. This is her fifth World Player of the Year award. The Ferenc Puskas award for the most brilliant goal went to Hamit Altintop. The award was presented by the goalkeeper against whom he scored that brilliant goal. The FIFA Coach of the Year for Men's football went to Jose Mourinho. Have to admit in a World Cup Year he was a surprise pick.
