Barca Lost The Game Against Real Sociedad

Barcelona started with a loss the new 2015. Real Sociedad defeated the grand team with a final result of 1:0 in a match of the 17th round of the Spanish La Liga.

The Catalans came out with a full lineup without Lionel Messi and Neymar, who got a longer Christmas vacation. The Argentine star Lionel Messi of Barcelona did not participate in that match and the reason for the absence of Messi was a stomach virus, announced the Spanish media.

In the absence of the stars of the team's attack was in the lineup: Luis Suarez, Pedro Rodriguez and Munir El Hadadi. Surprisingly, Ivan Rakitic and Dani Alves were left on the squad. That proved to be a fatal mistake for the coach Luis Enrique.

The meeting of the ‘Anoeta’ started as a nightmare for the guests. Yet in the second minute Jordi Alba scored an own goal. The defender deflected with his head some free throws behind his teammate Claudio Bravo for 1:0. After the break, Messi and Neymar appeared on the pitch, but they did not hamper the game of Real Sociedad. In the 85^th minute, the best position for Barca came. Suarez was stationed behind the defense in the penalty box, but the goalkeeper Rulli rushed selfless and cellars with hands the ball from his feet. Just some seconds later the defender managed to despair the Uruguayan guy again. He received a centering unmarked five meters in front of the door and shot the pointy-headed, but Rulli cellars the ball literally from the goal line.

Earlier in the day and Real Madrid lost to Valencia with 1:2 in their first match of the New Year. However, the Catalans failed to cut the difference to a leader and remain a point behind it as Real Madrid had one match fewer. Barca is now in a sixth consecutive match without a win at ‘Anoeta’ as there are 4 losses and 2 draws so far.

Will Messi Win The Golden Ball?

The Barcelona player Pedro is of the opinion that his teammate Lionel Messi deserves to win the Golden Ball at the expense of his older rival Cristiano Ronaldo in recent years.

The Argentinian won the most precious football prize for four straight years, while Cristiano did it in 2008 and 2013.

The Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will try to break the ‘monopoly’ of Messi and Ronaldo, but according to most of the bookies, the Portuguese is the favorite to snatch the award for the second and the third time.

Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved really good statistical indicators in that year, but Lionel Messi is the very best player worldwide and that is why he must win the Golden Ball, according to the Spaniard.

The battle for the Golden Ball is one of the most commented topics of most football fans and experts these days. Messi is our favorite, for sure.

The football megastar of Argentina and Barcelona Lionel Messi remains the third in the battle for the Golden Ball, according to the press of Italy, on the basis of a survey among voters. It is believed that the Flea stays out of the first two places, which has not happened to him since 2007; according to estimates it is shifted by Manuel Neuer, who appears to be the only real competition for the favorite Cristiano Ronaldo. The goalkeeper won the World Cup with Germany in the summer and the title in the Bundesliga with Bayern (Munich). On the other hand, Ronaldo has broken plenty of records with CR7 European and the World Club Champion Real Madrid. Curiously, Leo Messi became the No.1 player of the World Cup in Brazil. If Neuer fails to beat Ronaldo, the German will become the first goalie after the legend Lev Yashin, who won the most valuable individual award in football. The winner will be announced officially in January. Well, we – the people behind MessiBest.Com are looking forward to watching them. So what about you? 

Barcelona vs. Manchester City In an Eighth-final of The Champions League

The big star of Barcelona Lionel Messi had said he was eagerly waiting for the eighth-final matches of the Champions League, when the team is going to play against Manchester City.

The number 1 scorer in the history of the tournament joked with his compatriot and close friend, who ‘carried’ the citizens on his back before the injury and ranks them ahead with two late goals in the clash with Bayern Munich.

Definitely, Barcelona vs Manchester City will be the most interesting match of the eighth-finals of the UEFA Champions League. So both teams will probably repeat their eight-final confrontation from the last season, when the Catalans defeat their opponents after Martin Demichelis received a red card.

Interestingly, and the winner of the trophy Real Madrid will repeat their eighth-final duel from the last season, going to play against the team of Schalke 04. Last year the White Ballet won both matches (as a host and a guest) with the total goal difference of 9:2.

400 Goals Scored in Total - the New Record of Lionel Messi

Recently Barcelona's legend Lionel Messi has made another record in his brilliant career. After the awesome hat-trick, which he has made in the match between Barcelona and Espanyol, his team won with a 5:1 in the city derby by the 14^th round in La Liga. The Argentinian player now has over 400 goals for the club in both official and non-official matches played. The experts from MessiBest.com provide you with some interesting information about the past match and the performance of your favourite football player – Messi!

Barcelona defended their second place in the standings. As we have already mentioned Lionel Messi scored a hat trick, and then both Gerard and Pedro Rodriguez scored a goal as that was some kind of reservation to regularizing the total ‘blue-red’ domination on the Catalan land. For the 29th time in total in all tournaments Messi managed to score hat-trick, which is a prerequisite to play with a good mood in the match against Paris Saint-Germain from the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

The last shot of those 400, Lionel Messi has scored exactly in the door of Kiko Cassia. Pedro helped Messi to ‘form’ the hat-trick. The Argentinian ‘set the tone’ of the attack with a reid to the penalty box, where he headed the ball to the Spaniard. He immediately gave it back to Messi, who made a diagonal kick and checkmate Cassia, achieving the unbelievable score of 5:1.That was the second goal in 372 official matches of the Flea, who has 28 goals for Barca in friendly matches. He is the only player in the history with over 400 registered goals for a Spanish club.

Espanyol didn’t have a single win over their local rival Barcelona in an official game since 2009 when the team won at Camp Nou with a 1:2. Since then, the parrots have achieved a tie of 1:1 two seasons ago.

We believe that the derby Barcelona – Espanyol was a remarkable game for all of you, the fans of Barcelona and Lionel Messi in particular!
