The "rojillos" pay the piper (8-0)

How could we define it? A complete and total bruising.

Osasuna seemed to have permanently lost the north, and Barça used it to toy around with'em, scoring almost at pleasure.

The first strike came at minute 4: assist by Alves to Messi, who nets in with a point-blank volley. A psicological goal over anything.

The second came at minute 13: world-class spoon pass by Messi, and Cesc (no words left to describe him) almost breaks the ball with a tremendous volley.

About the third goal there's no much to say: typical line-breaking assist that Villa nets in after dribbling Andrés Fernández. But hey! The assistant was no other one than Abidal.

The fourth goal, fairly speaking, should not have been validated: great high-long pass by Messi to Villa, who is parting from a seemingly clear offside position, Villa drives the counterattack alone, shoots, Fernández blocks, but the dead ball hits Roversio's legs and ends up netted as an own goal.

The fifth: Cesc returns the favor to Messi: Xavi gives the ball to Cesc, who breaks in the area like a battering ram, controls the ball with a Romário-like 180º turn, and then gives the ball to an immobile, expecting Messi, who does not hesitate in netting the handful.

The sixth is a true wonder: great pass by Alves, Xavi makes an extraordinary control followed by a Romário-style vaseline (note thas as the ball entered, Andrés Fernández's face was an open book desperately begging for two things: mercy from the culé side and the ending of the match).

The seventh happened to be somewhat like the fourth: Osasuna suffers a defensive mess, Ibrahima loses the ball to Cesc, who clearly takes control of it with the left wrist, Cesc and Villa advance straight to Andrés Fernández, Cesc makes a death pass try to Villa who dribbles Fernández and nets in.

The eighth is a typical Messi-style goal (basically beacuse the goal was scored by Messi): Good assist from Cesc to Messi, who (again) makes an "all-people dribble-around" and gets sooooo nervous when facing Andrés Fernández that he even feints the final shot two times before releasing it and netting the eighth and ultimate goal.

Poor "rojillos". I feel sorry for them.

Well, now that we've recovered the winning ways in the best way possible (I guess that CA Osasuna did not deserve to pay the piper from the last two draws, but this is football, ladies and gentleman), get ready for a match of intensity, suffering, beacuse next opponent is Valencia CF, and we play in their territory (I guess you suppose we play in Mestalla), next Wednesday, 22:00 (sorrily too late for me :-( ), luckily broadcasted by TV3.

That's all for now folks, see ya next Thursday after the Valencia-Barça!!
