FC Barcelona drawn in to Group of Death

Barca has been drawn in to what undoubtedly could be termed as the "Group of Death" in 2013-14 UEFA Champions League Group stage. FC Barcelona has been drawn along with AC Milan, Ajax FC and Celtic in Group H in the draw. The Milan clash has become a regular even in the Europe fixture. For the last two seasons we have been playing them regularly. In the 2011-12 season we were drawn with them, that time also in Group H. Last season one of our best performances came against Milan at the Camp Nou, but then the first leg exposed all our weaknesses also. Quite a tough debut for Tata Martino! There are some interesting draw in other groups also. Another tough group is the Group F with Arsenal, Dortmund, Marseille and Napoli. Our arch-rivals are in a comparatively easy group with Juventus, Galatasaray and Copenhagen keeping them company. The other Spanish team Real Soceidad has a difficult task with Manchester United, Shaktar Donetsk and Bayer Leverkusen in their group. Atletico Madrid meanwhile is in a better proposition having to face Porto, Zenit and FC Austria Vienna.

"Lionel Messi" is the name of Cesc Fabregas' Troubles at Barca

Agreed, it's quite a sensational or better put a scandalous headline. But let's be honest there is a lot of truth in this headline. It's a headline which will drive Lionel Messi's detractors to ecstasy; it's also one which could trouble a Barca supporter too. Let me start by announcing to those Messi detractors, who would be rushing looking for yet another fantasy article of "How Messi is hurting his colleagues?" or "How Messi has monopolized decision making at Barca?". If you are one of those, you are at the wrong place. In fact this article has nothing to do with Lionel Messi, instead it's fullest and solely concentrated on the Spanish midfielder, Cesc Fabregas and his troubles at Barca. If you find Lionel Messi's name being mentioned so often in this article, it's purely because of the talent and the greatness of the Little Argentinian. In the end, we all are very fortunate to have one of the greatest players in the history donning the Barca colors; and it's natural that every discussion of Barca will see his name being dragged in a fair number of times.
