FC Barcelona 2011-12, Season Review
Yet another eventful season has come to an end and it's that time when we take stock of the performance of the season goneby. FC Barcelona's 2011-12 season went through a lot of twists and turns, and ended with Guardiola era coming to an end. Guardiola, eventhough has not ruled out returning to the club but that does not look like possible in the near term. Some Cules may argue that the 2011-12 season wasn't a success as far as the club is concerened. I beg to differ, winning four trophies in a year is a huge achivement, above all playing a brand of football which almost re-defined the way football is played, taught and followed is a hallmark of a very succesful season. I would go as far as saying that - this season under Guardiola provided the blueprint of how good this team are and how good this team can become. Yes, we may not have won the biggest two trophies of the season - La Liga and UEFA Champions League, but winning two Super Cups, the World Championship and the Copa del Rey title should be considered as a very excellent season.
New Barca Jersey for 2012-13 Season, Is This the Worst ever?
Looking for Barca Jersey at the Best Prices, find it here - FC Barcelona Jersey
As you all know the club ceremoniously unveiled the new Barca Jersey for the season 2012-13 in grand fashion some days earlier. Catalan based media, especially Sport.es went over board with the jersey claiming that "the blue and dark red bands don’t have any limits … like Messi’s talent" in the cartoon corner. But all across the internet among the Barca fans, the trending topic or question was - Is this the worst ever? From the time the first leaked pictures came, every Cule has been praying those to be fake. But with the official unveiling those fears came true. The club claims that the design is ground breaking, but a look at the Gradient tool in Adobe Photoshop will show you from where the idea came from. Even though I am disappointed seeing the jersey, but have to admit that it looked a bit better than this version of the rumoured jersey.

The most successful manager in Barcelona's history improved his own record by winning the 2011-12 Copa Del rey title. This was the 14th title under Guardiola for FC Barcelona and was a great parting gift to the manager. Two goals from Pedro and one from Messi in the first half sealed the title for Barca, This was Barcelona's fourth trophy of teh season having won both Super Cup and Fifa World Cup in this year. Xavi Hernandez lifted the trophy after a lot of convincing from Puyol. Guardiola lined up with Pedro, Messi, Sanchez, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Adriano, Mascherano, Pique, Montoya and Pinto for his last match as Barca manager.
