Oh, nice! 3rd goal is spectacular, 4th is skillful.

If you ever get to Barcelona do take in the stadium tour & a game at the Nou Camp. Especially if you schleped round the away games in our Conference days! Even when the place is "only" half full - 60k+ - there's a decent atmosphere.

I like the first one

This thread will be amazing by the end of the season.

Their football is just on a totally different level to any other team IMO. The skill in their squad is insane..

All that even before the finest player on the planet, Andres Iniesta, has regained full fitness.

Frightening.

Xavi > Iniesta for me

Xavi < Iniesta for me

Iniesta first come onto the radar for me a couple of years ago... I love watching him play. He's so graceful, and should give players of a less physical stature inspiration that it's not all about muscle in the middle of the park.

Ah but if you'd been playing championship manager you'd have known him as an 16 year old wonderkid

Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Krkic, Alves - It's a team of short and zippy midgets

Watch a lot of Spanish football and Iniesta is amazing but injury prone. Xavi has been controlling their midfield for a decade. A good version of Xabi Alonso

Watched this game, but thought the last goal was the best for sheer bloody cheek. They look like they're playing for fun.

Still think the real sensation so far in Spain has been the way Kaka has slotted straight in at Madrid. This year it'll be a contest at least and El Classico should be even better viewing than ever.

So, Xavi or Iniesta?

Forever 7 will go for Xavi over Iniesta everyday of the week, I'm still not so sure....
