MOURINHO, A REAL BIG MOUTH

“I know how to win Barça, I have won against them several times“

“Iniesta doesn’t deserve to win the Ballon D’or award…I would give it to Sneijder“

“Barça pretends to be nice and many people falls into that trap“

And after all this…he hugs Guardiola!

Platini forced Mourinho and Guardiola to hug, the most awaited image of the meeting.

Villa wants Raúl’s record. He’s just a goal away from Raúl’s record of 44 goals with the Spanish national team.

MVP (Messi, Villa, Pedro)

The best trident in the world.

Barça has the most lethal forwards: Messi, Villa and Pedro scored during the last season, in total, 98 goals!!

1) Barça: 98 goals

2) Chelsea: 79 goals

3) Real Madrid: 72 goals

4) Manchester United: 67 goals.

Rather cordiality than tension between Guardiola and Mourinho in Nyon.

GUARDIOLA, NUMBER 1

The other managers praise Pep, who would be chosen the best coach of the world and would receive the Golden Ball if the elections were done today.

Mourinho: “Thirteen years ago I already said that Guardiola would became a great manager.“

Ferguson: “He must be congratulated, most of all, because of Barça’s spectacular football.“

Ancelotti: “Barça will be our most difficult rival to win the Champions“.

Zubi explains Ibra’s leaving: “It was a sports problem“

Puyol will miss, at least, two matches.

PSYCOLOGICAL WAR

Tension during the first Pep and Mourinho’s face to face.

They greeted each other coldly in Nyon and the differences between them were evident.

“Referees doesn’t protect Cristiano like they protect other players”. Madrid’s coach threw another dart to Barça, aiming at Messi.

Puyol already tries to reduce the time needed to recover from his injury.

Rosell changes to rugby. Barça’s president signed an agreement with the Perpinyà’s rugby club’s president.

THERE IS FEELING (BETWEEN THEM)

Both Mascherano and Pep have fulfilled their wishes and they don’t even hide the good vibrations between them.

‘El Jefecito’ didn’t train with Argentina yesterday to be able to do his first training with Barça.

Keita renews his contract until 2014 and his clause raises to 100 million euros.

Guardiola and Mourinho face to face today in Nyon’s meeting.

Robinho signs for Milan too. He will play with Ibra and Ronnie.

CULE MASCHERANO

“You can’t say no to the best team of the world“

He stepped in Camp Nou’s field yesterday.

The Argentinean crack relinquished a 20% of his fee to sign for Barça.

“El Jefecito” said that he comes to help the team and that he decided to come to Barça because of the its human quality.

THE LAST SIGNING

“Masche”, a luxurious reinforcement

The vice-president Bartomeu said that the 2010-2011′s squad is closed.

“I know why I’m here. I would be an idiot if I thought that I’m playing every single match.”

The most feared agent by the European clubs. Mino Raiola, the market patriarch.
