Barcelona outclassed Malaga at the Rosalera tonight and won by the narrowest of margins 1-0.
The football of Barcelona has changed.
It is no longer the short, sharp passes with the lion's share of the possession of the football that we have become used to and love.
Now Barcelona seems content to play the contemporary style of football being played by most of the Clubs.
However there is a major difference between the football played by Barcelona and the rest.
Barcelona have very skilled and talented players who provide us with brilliant and entertaining football. The vision of their midfield players by creating openings for their forwards to dart in, is a delight to watch.
The way they play the beautiful game - fast flowing, attacking, linking up between themselves and the speed they can deliver the ball in an attacking move is exciting. And all this is played in a free spirit manner which entertain and thrill us.
Hope this style continues.
However there is a chink in their defence and I feel they are vulnerable on the counter. Malaga tonight managed to put together a couple of attacks in the dying minutes and could have come away with a draw if the Footballing Gods were a little bit more kind towards the Andalucians.
It was an Adriano goal which separated the two sides. Considering the distance of the shot, the Malaga Goalkeeper must have been unsighted.
Seeing Neymar play, I have one word of advice. He should try staying on his feet. As the word gets around that he goes down too easily, Referees may not be so lenient.
