F.C. Barcelona (5)-(3) Granada Match review.

 Ah, a great match at last. 

Barcelona come back from two goals behind in the second half, to winning 5-3 ! Doesn't that sound great ? Of course it does. 




Now, this wasn't a perfect match by any means. The defense was poor, to say the least. But the attack, it gets me out of my seat. A whopping 36 shots. More than 25 on target. three or four on the bar. Barca should have killed the game long before. A great, great display from all the attackers. Griezmann was by- far the most decisive and Messi was the reason of three of the five goals we scored. Trincao was unfortunate to not score himself. Again, a brilliant display. 
The most important thing of them all is the way Barca fought back. Tens of shots on target but none of them went in. And still, we did not give up. Hats off to Griezmann for reaching that first ball from Lionel Messi. That was sheer determination right there. And a minute before the end of time, a very similar ball from Messi over the top to griezmann and he cushions it for Alba and bam ! we're level !
A similar story in the extra time, many chances, 'only' three went in. 
Also, i looked it up and we are statistically the best team in Spain. Good stuff huh. I just want Barcelona to continue what they are doing. They're doing it great. I will just expect Umtiti to not make more mistakes because I still trust him. 
Let me know your thoughts below !

That's it then !

My Top Ten: Total Fiction- Three

No. 3. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn Series by Mark Twain          The great American novels. The novels, set in and 'round Mississippi river, and the state of course, for all but one novel, are a jewel to read. They are humorous, rich and enjoyable. Truly one of the greatest American novels.          Plot- A painstakingly simple plot for each novel, woven around a million subplots, adding humor and there you have it. But, it is not that easy. To find the right subplot, to find the best position to add humor, even to decide on jokes, is hard. It's not that easy to satisfy neysayers and these novels have done just that.          Characters- I wasn't born in the U.S.A. and I do not know how the kids there are. But, if their lif can be this adventurous, count me in ! Mark Twain creates a bond so tight that I must believe whatever he writes. Tom steals a hot air balloon, of course he can do that.    ...

Barca: A season to forget- Left Wing/ Midfielder

THE PLAYERS- I am not considering Coutinho and Griezmann Left Wingers. 1. Ansu Fati- An  astoundingly ridiculous revelation this season, Ansu Fati will surely be a major part any success we are * hoping * for. His speed and aggressiveness is always channeled and timed well. He can create something out of very little. This is the quality we were craving for, and we have got it in the form of Ansu.  2. Pedri- I know, he is not a first team member just yet, but that is not to say he won't recieve first time action. I think when Ansu needs rest, Pedri should get some starts against less physical sides like Villarreal. Conclusion- After two seasons after Neymar left, we finally have two very good wingers on both flanks. This is definitely good !

My Top Ten: Total Fiction- Four

No. 4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.  Yeah, it is not in my top three. I am disappointed too, but I can assure you, I like this book very much, it is just that I like three books more. It is Paulo Coelho's best work by far and understandably. According to him, it is based on Wisdom. It is more about dreams and how to chase them. Plot- A boy has had a dream, there is a treasure below the pyramids in Egypt and he sets off to find it. Oh, how simple that seems and yet I have barely seen a novel more difficult to get the true essence. His journey is filled with extra-ordinary coincidences and incidents, making the journey adventurous and also giving a scope for some wisdom to be shared. A book like no other, This is the first book I'd recommend to instill a reading habit.  Characters- Santiago....Melchizedek....the alchemist....the shopkeeper.... all of these characters have a separate soul. A person we could identify, not one we could relate with the author in any way. This is a...
