Well ! Barca finally dropped point at El Molinon but they remained the 1st place in La Liga.
This match was epic as Barca almost lost to Sporting Gijon due to the early goal by David Barral. I admitted it was a fantastic goal but Pique and Milito should do something about it and we could not blame Valdes for conceding the goal. Soon , they changed into defensive formation - ten man formed a formidable wall in their territory. Barca tried to pierce through their defence and finally David Villa equalised it with a marvelous chip over the keeper at 80 th minutes. I had great confidence on FC Barcelona that they will eventually win the La Liga and the upcoming UCL match against Arsenal.
After this match , it shows that FC Barcelona is not unbeatable but they are really hard to beat. Even you play defensively such as forming a human wall , they 're still able to find a way to crumble the wall. Today , Afellay didn't do well so as Pique and Milito. Mascherano's performance was not very convincing but I was glad that he began to be able to follow the pace of Barca 's system. However , I think Sergio Busquets as holding midfielder was more reliable because he was the product of the youth academy of Barca so he fitted well into their system as he linked well with Xavi and Iniesta. He was one of the tallest guy in Barca ( most of Barca players are short ) and his stamina was incredible. Next match , Busquets going to be in the starting lineup.
