First, the expedition culé travelled until Lyon to face the gone of eighth of final of the Glass of Europe. In spite of that the ones of Valverde left with a bad flavour of mouth to the have not attained to mark a goal that could be very important in the eliminatory, noticed a clear improvement in the Barcelona game regarding previous parties. No in vain the team shot until 25 times, and if it did not mark was been due to the bad luck.
To the FC Barcelona was missing him fine-tune the puntería, and this is what did in the three following exits. 2-4 to the Seville with Leo Messi stellar to line a key date in the calendar, 0-3 to the Real Madrid for 'trace back' like this in semifinals of the Glass of Rey and scalar until the first final of the season, and a 0-1 past east Saturday in the same stage, Santiago Bernabéu, that catapults to the FC Barcelona to a new title suspender belt.
The FC Barcelona has known to put the batteries what touched, and has solved of hit all his problems. Now already it goes back to mark with ease, with a ttoal of 8 targets in three parties of maximum level in front of Seville and Real Madrid (twice).
