Nasty draw for Barcelona. Samuel Eto’o will be coming back with a big point to prove. Go on, Samuel!
Spanish La Liga’s blog in English: click here.
the inter milan v barca will be a talking point, and i hope etoo will show the barca board what they’re missing.
im banking on ibrahimovic and barcelona to come out on top of the group and top of the ties against inter, ibra will prove his worth and show all the doubters just how good he rele is in a top team
on another note how long did they have to drag on the ceremony for the draw?! i watched it when i got home expecting a 10-15 minute wait it ended up going on for about an hour, and the 2 presenters looked like they would be more at home in the eurovision song contest!
maid, you’re right. that was like pulling teeth, that draw. sky sports news was showing it live and it was a struggle keeping it going.
