Barcelona have won their 22nd La Liga title, wrestling back ownership of the championship they lost to Real Madrid last year. It was Los Blancos who went into into their match with Espanyol knowing they must win to postpone the celebration, but they were unable to do so in their 1-1 draw at Cornella El-Prat.
It’s the fourth league title in five years for the Blaugrana, and it’s the first time they’ve won it after losing the prior season. They currently sit atop La Liga table with 88 points, just 12 points shy of the league record 100 points scored by Real Madrid last year.
Manager Tito Vilanova led his club to an unbeaten record at home in the league, losing only two games to Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, while scoring 105 goals to date. Barcelona faces Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

A star is born: Lionel Messi is now the proud father of Thiago, a young boy who has bigger boots to fill than any boy who ever existed
How pleased is every single football fan that Lionel Messi has had a baby and it’s a BOY! Essentially, what this means is that in about 15 or 16 years time there will be another young adult Messi starting out in his professional career, ready to terrorise the world of football just like his dad does, and we cannot wait.
Now let’s not forget that Lionel Messi is only 25-years-old, so if the Barcelona magician, and all round incredible player, is still good enough (silly statement) to be playing at the age of 40, we may see two Messi’s in the same team. That very statement makes my hairs stand on end. Continue reading “Watch out World, there’s a new Messi in town!” »

One love: Lionel Messi cannot imagine leaving Barcelona and his fellow team-mates for any other club
Lionel Messi is so good that he is one of few players in the world, if not the only one, who can dictate their future as a player. There has been surprisingly little speculation about the Argentinian trickster leaving his beloved Barcelona for another club in the past, probably because you cannot put a price on his talent.
