October 2008 - Barcelona run riot v Almeria and Atletico Madrid

Barcelona 5 Almeria 0 -  25th October 2008

The goals just keep on coming for Barcelona, with every game turning into a goal fest for Barcelona these days. With 24 goals in 8 games Barcelona are averaging a very impressive 3 goals per game and as they draw ever nearer to Valencia at the top of La Liga. It looks like it could be yet another barcona and Real Madrid race for the title.

This latest win for Barcelona, at the Nou Camp, was a stroll in the park for Barcelona, with all five goals in the first half. A hat-trick from Eto'o (5th, 21st and 24th minutes) and goals also from Henry (13th) and Alves (37th) meant that Barceloan could relax in the second half and save themselves for the next game. Valladolid are Barcelona's next home opponents and the 14th December is the big date for your calendar with the Barcelona v Real Madrid game taking place.

20th October 2008: Atletico Bilbao 0 Barcelona 1)

Sometimes it's about points and not goals and this was a very well won 3 awy points for Barcelona, with Eto'o scoring the all-important goal in middle of the second half. With the La Liga much more competitive this season than usual, Valencia, Sevilla and Villareal all remain above Barcelona still but Barcelona are clawing their way upward.

This was not a easy win for Barcelona and the absense of several players on International duty in mid-week meant that someplayers were jaded, whilst a few are out injured for Barcelona. Barcelona though played a well organised game and it always looked as though they would eventually break through despite a good performance by Gorka Iraizoz  in the Bilbao goal.

4th October 2008: Barcelona run riot (Barcelona 6 Atletico Madrid 1)

FC Barcelona sem to be improvign with each game and this demolition of Atletico Madrid was a powerfuland exciting performace for the loyal Barcelona supporters. With 60% of the possesion and 5 different scorers on the sheet and a rise to 4th position in la Liga, excitement builds again at the Nou Camp.

The 75,000 crowd saw Marquez get the ball rolling so to speak, with a 3rd minute goal and this was followed within the space of 5 minutes with an Eto'o (6th minute) and Messi (8th minute goal). Eight minutes gone and the game looked as good as over and in reality it was.

Eto'o scored with a deft touch to make it 4-1 after 18 minutes (after Madrid got a 13th minute strike) and the goas were still flowing in the first half with a Gudjohnsen goal in the 28th. The 2nd half seemed slow compared to the first half with ONLY 1 goal nicely placed by Thiery Henry.
