Great beginning of La Liga!

Today was very important day for our team, first game of La Liga 2010-2011, great victory which promisses exciting season. Do you want to know more?

The group led by Josep Guardiola at 9:15 in the morning went to El Prat Airport. Flight to Santander was scheduled at 10, but finally it was a quarter of an hour late. After one hour the group arrived at sunny and quite warm (20°C) Santander. At airport players were greated by about 200 fans who cheered our boys and tried to take photo or got autograph. One of the most cheered was Villa:)

Besides the 18 players and coaching staff, club's board members traveled to Santander Carles Vilarrubí, Susana Monje, Jordi Moix, Pilar Guinovart i Ramon Pont. Andoni Zubizarreta was also present.

Here are some cool photos:









And now: the most important part- GAME. It was really nice one to watch, our boys were concetrated and showed their great skills. And there were 3 wonderful goals too! Very nice moment was when Iniesta recieved massive tribute from supporters. And I also like to underline that Valdés was one of the heroes of the day too as he saved penalty:)Carles Puyol watched the game from the bench due to injury (I hope it's nothing serious), also Xavi had some problems and played only 1st half (he was substituted by Pedro). At the press conference after the match against Racing, Guardiola explained why the two captains have been reserved players: "With the doctors have decided not to risk". "We can not lose so important players, we must protect them. We prefer to give them a day of rest" said the coach.



Messi, Iniesta and Villa scored, so there were cheerful moments:
