Luis Suarez hits 100th La Liga goal for Barcelona against Real Betis

Barcelona's 5-0 win over Real Betis on Sunday was a brilliant result, but it was also a pretty sweet night for Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan scored twice in the match and now has 100 La Liga goals, in just 114 appearances - that’s some going.
Suarez is also only the second Uruguayan to reach a century of goals in La Liga, behind Diego Forlan.
Congratulations Luis Suarez and keep ‘em coming!

XAVI: BARCELONA HAVE BEEN SLEEPING ON THEIR IDEALS

The former Blaugrana midfielder has called for a return to the club's Cantera style, and backs Ernesto Valverde to be a success at Camp Nou Barcelona legend Xavi says the club have been "sleeping" on their own model of play, with La Masia graduates now rarely getting a chance to shine in the first team. Xavi was chief playmaker in a Barca side that swept all before them, while remaining strongly rooted in Catalan ideals, coached by Pep Guardiola and captained by Carles Puyol, with the likes of Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Victor Valdes providing more home-grown heroes. Luis Enrique's reign continued the Blaugrana's trophy glut, including a treble in the Asturian's first campaign at Camp Nou, but he was often criticised for moving Barca away from the style that had been put in place by Guardiola - including the use of youth-team players. Barca have brought La Masia graduate Gerard Deulofeu back to the club this off-season, having done likewise ...

Barça face one of the most entertaining teams in the league, and you just can’t miss this one

Welcome back,  La Liga ! The second round of the Spanish league seasons starts this weekend and the fixtures are reversed.  Barcelona  begin the return round with a trip to Seville for what promises to be a very tough, yet very fun game against Real Betis. The Catalan giants will face one of the most entertaining teams in Spain. Betis love to go forward and have scored (and conceded) plenty of goals this season. Their manager, Quique Setién, is one of the most attacking coaches in the league and has a squad full of skilled and quick players who can be devastating on their day. It’ll be interesting to see if Betis will be able to score against the best defense in Europe this season (just 9 goals conceded in 19 games), and it’ll be even more interesting to see if a poor Betis defense (36 goals conceded in 19 games) will be able to keep a clean sheet against Lionel Messi and his friends. This game will be crazy fun, and it is one you just can’t miss. LINEUPS Barce...

World Cup or not, Lionel Messi is already the greatest

With the World cup  looming, the usual questions have once again resurfaced in regards to Lionel Messi’s standing in the pantheon of football’s all-time greats. There’s no denying that there’s a stone left unturned in the Barcelona  legend’s storied career. For many pundits a World Cup victory is all that stands in the way of immortality for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, but despite having never lifted the most prestigious of titles in the world of international football the Argentine has shown through his dominance at Barcelona that he still deserves to go down as the best there’s ever been. Messi’s plethora of titles and personal accolades is one that stands tall above the rest but look beyond these tangibles from such an accomplished career and you see a player whose skillset is almost celestial. There are few that have produced the kind of quality on the pitch that the diminutive Argentine has. It’s easy to point to his goalscoring feats but Messi’s brilliance is...
