Lionel Messi wins the Balon d'OR for record Fourth time
In the end it was the worst kept secret of the Year in the World of Football. Everyone knew who will win this one. There wasn't much surprise this time around. Earlier at the start of the season, when the UEFA European Best Player of the Year award was announced there were genuine nerves. But with Messi continuing his spectacular season, there was only one winner - He Himself. Even his fiercest rivals knew it. Ronaldo kind of conceded the award - he said life goes on even if he didn't win the award in the press conference held earlier in the day. That was a huge change from his on-stage pitch for himself during the UEFA Best Player of the Year award ceremony. Technically heddin't win teh Balon d'Or for the fourth time. The Balon d'Or has been combined to a FIFA Balon d'Or from last year. He won it last time and there is no way anyone is going to win this with him around in coming years.

Barca - 3, Real Valladoid - 1
- FC Barcelona gave the best Get-Well Message to Vilanova with a 3-1 win
- Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Christian Tello scored for Barca
FC Barcelona went into the Christmas break with a comfortable 3-1 victory against Real Valladoid. It was comfortable till the time we conceded an unnecessary goal in the 89th minute made it a bit nervy. Xavi Hernandez opened the scoring for us, Messi scored teh customary goal in the second half and Tello made it a comfortable win for Barca. This match was a testing point to see whether Barca will struggle with the absence of Tito Vilanova. The initial signs are not good for our opponents. The starting line-up selected by Jordi Roura was in the expected line. Valdes, Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba, Xavi, Busquets, Thiago, Messi, Pedro and Alexis. Iniesta was supposed to carry a knock and expectedly started on the bench. The only surprise was not to see Villa in the starting line-up.

FC Barcelona to face AC Milan in UEFA KnockOut Stage
FC Barcelona will face the Italian side AC Milan in the first knock-out stage of the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League. The match is a repeat of last season's Quarter-Final tie, which Barca won convincingly. AC Milan has been struggling for some time in their League this season, but if the past some weeks results are to be taken into account - they may have finally found some stability. The lose of Ibrahimovic and Silva could come as a huge problem for Milan when they face the Spanish league leaders. But still AC Milan is the second most successful team in European Cup history and they have to be treated with much respect. The match also should see ex-Barca player Bojan Krkic playing against us, if he gets the opportunity. The tie will be held in February and March 2013. Everyone expects Barca to get past the Italian side, but it could prove to be a real tough task. But the fact that we play the second leg at home is a very positive thing.
