Champions League- Barcelona loses against Rubin Kazan - Sports - Soccer

Europe's defending champions had a bad day on Wednesday. Barcelona was defeated by the Russian team FK Rubin Kazan 2-1 at Nou Camp in Spain. The loss was Bara's first since December, when the team was beaten by Shakhtar Donetsk.

Kazan began giving Bara a hard time from the first minutes of the game. A loose ball some 35 yards from the Spanish goal seemed benign - at least, until Aleksandr Ryazantsev shot the ball past Victor Valdes into the top corner of the net, opening the score with the first strike of the match in Rubin's favor.

The move left the stadium - and Bara - stunned. It was the first time in the season that Barcelona had fallen behind in a game, in either Europe or the Primera Division.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Lionel Messi, and Daniel Alves struggled to equalize the score for Barcelona, but Rubin goalkeeper Sergei Ryzhikov was able to halt their attempts. (Ryzhikov would stop all but one of Bara's 24 attempts; the figure is all the more miraculous since Rubin made only 3.) By halftime, Barcelona still hadn't caught up, and the players went to break looking slightly shell-shocked.

Whatever happened during break, Bara returned to the game with a changed attitude. Ibrahimovic was able to score just three minutes after play resumed, in minute 48, when Xavi's chip over the Rubin defense was chested down by Ibrahimovic at the edge of the area; he then drilled an unstoppable shot in off the far post.

Bara may have been re-motivated, but the Russian team wasn't flagging. Rubin refused to give up opportunities to their Spanish opponents, and at minute 78, scored again. When a break from the Russians left a hole in the area, Karadeniz Gokdeniz stole a left shot past Valdes for the goal that sealed the victory.

Bara tried to equalize again; Alves and Messi united to give Ibrahimovic his chance, but his shot from the penalty spot crashed against the crossbar. In the final minute of injury time Toure headed Xavi's corner ball, but it thudded against the post.

And so Bara lost the game.

The game now ties Rubin and Barcelona, along with Kiev, at four points; Inter is in last with three points. Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said that the team was coming from a 0-0 draw against Valencia during the weekend's La Liga tournament and was almost certain of a victory over Rubin - and so a secure qualification for the knockout phase.

Only the two leading contenders, however, will move to the knockout, and Bara is no longer the inevitable choice.

"These things happen. It's not the first time and I doubt it will be the last," Guardiola said during a news conference. "I didn't feel like we played a bad match. They [Rubin] had a very well-structured defense and all the teams [in the group] are very good. They are all professionals."

Rubin coach Kurban Berdyev was extremely proud of the team and its capabilities under pressure.

"The whole team played well and they showed great control during the match and that's why we won today. I am very proud and I think today will be a big party for our fans".

Indeed, there will be a big party in Russia for the team, which only recently entered the top division.

Spanish League- Barcelona Struggles to Defeat Malaga - Sports - Soccer

FC Barcelona has managed to win another match, this time against Malaga in the twenty-fourth round of the Spanish League. The Spanish champions had to give an extraordinary effort during the match, as their rivals gave a strong fight.

Although Bara displayed an evident superiority, it wasn't easy for the team to get the win. From the opening minutes, Malaga players imposed themselves, blocking the locals' defense, including defenders Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique.

The two had some trouble controlling the ball. Midfielders Xavi Hernandez and Sergio Busquets moved to take charge of receiving the balls in their area, hoping to develop Bara's game.

The Boquerones launched a strong attack in Bara's advance, focusing all action on the center of the pitch. Barcelona responded, turning its game to the sidelines, where the Brazilian defenders Maxwell and Dani Alvez - the latter of whom was out for three weeks due to injury - did an outstanding job.

Malaga tried to match the locals, resisting during Bara's attacks. In the midst of the action, Pique committed a foul in the area against Nigerian striker Victo Obinna, giving the visitors an opportunity to open the scoring. However, Malaga was unable to capitalize.

During the penalty kick, an accurate left-footed shot from Portuguese midfielder Duda endangered the local's goal; however, a quick response from Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes prevented the shot from scoring. The penalty kick was the only risk Bara suffered during the first half.

After that, Barcelona took control of the game. With the ball in their possession, the Spanish leaders had several opportunities but failed to score, largely due to the outstanding work by Gustavo Munua, Malaga's goalkeeper, who offered an incredible defense of his net. One of the most breathtaking moments of the match saw Munua deflect a hard shot from Xavi above the goal.

Barcelona was consistent in its attempts, but its attackers seemed to lack precision. The first half ended at 0-0.

The second half began with the visiting team squared away in its area, in defensive mode, waiting to deflect the Azulgranas' shots out of the area. Bara exhibited skill but wasn't particularly dangerous.

Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the one who began to flirt with risk. The Swedish player made two direct headers to the goal, but again Munua showcased, arresting the ball.

It wasn't until minute 69 that the score finally opened. Bara striker Pedro Rodriguez brought the score to 1-0.

The point seemed to increase Bara's confidence; in fact, it seemed to increase it too much. Malaga took advantage, scoring at minute 81, thanks to a shot from midfielder Valdo.

The draw put Barcelona in a difficult situation: the outcome of the game would determine whether the team continued as the leader of the Spanish League. If the players didn't manage the three points from victory, Barcelona would drop to second place after Real Madrid's 5-1 victory against Tenerife.

With just ten minutes left, Bara concentrated on regaining control of the match. The final, determining point was scored by Lionel Messi. Xavi sent a difficult pass to Alvez, who gave it to the Argentine. Messi scored at minute 84, putting the score at 2-1, locking in Bara's victory in the game and preserving its position at the top of the league.

Spanish League- Barcelona Outstanding against Real Madrid at Classic - Sports - Soccer

Barcelona regained the top spot in La Liga in the Derbi Spanish Classic this past Sunday. The team beat its archrivals, Real Madrid 1-0 at Camp Nou after an astonishingly well-executed goal by Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Bara may have played with only 10 men for almost half an hour but nonetheless managed to secure the victory.

The match, the most anticipated in the Spanish league, did not disappoint. It had everything: passion, good play, talented players, spectacle, stress, talent, and heart - in short, exactly what was required for Bara to defeat Real.

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid went to Camp Nou with the intention of winning. The Whites, already ahead of Bara as of last weekend, hoped to consolidate their leadership.

At home, Bara gave a showy game, playing while looking for the space to assist Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, and Thierry Henry. The team was backed by over 70,000 spectators at Camp Nou, and dominated the first 15 minutes of the meeting, with Messi making great plays despite recovering from pain in his left abductor.

Madrid, meanwhile, tried to stifle Bara's game, pressing forward, avoiding giving space to the Azulgrana, and looking for the steals to allow quick departures from the Brazilian Kak and the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

Both the strikers gave a shock at minute 27, when Kak dodged defender Gerard Pique and ran to the penalty area, passing to Ronaldo who had a clear shot to the net. Victor Valdez, Bara's often-understated goalkeeper, managed to stop the shot with difficulty.

Barcelona had the ball but couldn't overcome the compact wall defense mounted by Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini. At the same time, Bara itself enjoyed great defensive work from Carles Puyol - perhaps the real hero of the team - and Pique, who managed to stop much of the Whites' offensive action.

The teams faced a stalemate, and the first half ended 0-0.

In the second half, Bara coach Pep Guardiola substituted a not-so-active Henry with Ibrahimovic to improve the team's offensive action. Five minutes later, the move would pay off for the Azulgranas.

At minute 56, Bara right-winger Dani Alves moved to the right, sending a good cross toward Ibrahimovic, who appeared to be without defense. Without even dribbling the ball, the Swede finished the play with a great volley that sent the ball to the bottom of Iker Casillas' net, opening the score 1-0, in favor of Barcelona.

Only a minute earlier, Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain had a great opportunity, indeed managed to move into Valdes' area, but Puyol crossed to deflect his shot.

Bara was now up in the score and Real Madrid was left confused. Even when the visitors lost Sergi Busquets at minute 62 - a double yellow card - the Whites were unable to take advantage of their opponents' numerical deficiency.

With only 10 players, Bara closed themselves in their area, focusing on defense, but did not lose sight of their quick counterattacks on the opposite goal. However, it was the Whites who forged forward with the most attacks, especially with the entry of French striker Karim Benzema for Ronaldo, who did not play 90 minutes.

In the end, Madrid attacked but couldn't score. Barcelona, in contrast, seemed close to taking a second goal, this time from Messi, but Casillas took the shot out with his foot and saved the ball. That play signaled the end of the match, with Barcelona ahead 1-0.

The triumph shoots Barcelona to the top of the standings with 30 points. Real Madrid is behind with 28, followed by Sevilla with 25 points.

FC Barcelona vs. Real Madrid Matches through a Cules Eyes - Entertainment

Fondly called the "El Classico", the matches between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in Spain is one of the fiercest clashes between rivals. To understand the importance of these matches, one should understand the history behind both these clubs. It is not simply a clash between two of the biggest clubs in Spain; but to many it is still a clash between the oppressor and the suppressor. FC Barcelona is iconic for every Catalan. Barcelona might be in Spain but the Catalans prefer to be out of the fold. If you ever visit Barcelona you would be surprised to see a higher status to the Catalan language than Spanish.

The rivalry between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid grew to unimaginable proportion during the era of Dictator Franco. Franco banned the use of Catalan language and hence the matches at Barcelona became the perfect place for Catalans to take their protest to international level. FC Barcelona became true to their identity "More Than A Club" with its progressive ideas. Real Madrid was considered the hot bed of power and was associated with Franco. The rivalry was intensified during the 1950s when the clubs disputed the signing of Alfredo Di Stefano. Di Stefano had impressed both Barcelona and Real Madrid whilst playing for Club Deportivo Los Millonarios in Bogota, during a players' strike in his native Argentina. Both Madrid and Barcelona attempted to sign him and, due to confusion had emerged due to the di Stefano moving to Millonarios from River Plate due to the strike, as both clubs claimed to own his registration. Subsequently, both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid believed tha t they had signed him. After intervention from the Spanish FA Barcelona backed down and di Stefano moved to Madrid; rumour remains that Barca were forced to act by Franco, but Madrid maintained that they acted voluntarily. Di Stefano became integral in the subsequent success achieved by the Madrid, scoring twice in his first game against Barcelona. With him, Madrid won the initial five European Champions Cup competitions. The 1960s saw the rivalry reach the European stage when they met twice at the European Cup, Real Madrid winning in 1960 and FC Barcelona winning in 1961.

Head on head Real Madrid leads FC Barcelona by 68 to 59. There has been 30 draws in the El Classico till date. The El classico were made fiercer with players defecting from FC Barcelona to Real Madrid. The reception got for Figo when he visited Camp Nou is a prime example. El Classico is a prime business strategy for both these clubs - FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. At the current time, El Classico is nothing more than a marketing strategy for both the team. But still tempers rises with the approach of an El Classico. The Catalan and Madrid based media trumps up the adrenaline every time an El Classico approaches. May be a clash between Pakistan and India could match the match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. But no rivalry at Club level especially in Europe matches this mega event.
