Copa Del Rey Champions!

After what seemed to be a pretty mediocre season for FC Barcelona, they were able to end it with the Copa Del Rey trophy and send Josep Guardiola off on a happy note. A double from Pedro and another goal from Messi were made in the first half and clenched the final for FC Barcelona against Atletic Bilbao.

You have got to admit, this season has not been easy for Barcelona. They were kicked out of the Champions League semi-finals by Chelsea and they lost the league to their greatest rival Real Madrid. BUT on a happier note, they were able to end the season with 4 trophies, The European Super Cup, Supercopa de Espana, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the Copa Del Rey. Of course Barcelona wanted La Liga and the Champions League and you people out there, don't forget that Barcelona is bringing it back next season. You just wait and see.

Congrats Barcelona! Thank you Guardiola for your hard work and good luck Vilnova for next season! I can't wait to see all the transfers this summer!

Real Madrid Campeones

After a 3-0 win against Sevilla, Real Madrid have finally taken the Li Liga title. This a very big achievement for the team. For Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho, this is the first Spanish League they have ever won. Jose Mourinho has now won 7 league trophies, 2 from the Primera Liga, 2 From Seire A, 2 from the Premier League, and finally 1 from La Liga. I'll be honest I'm pretty impressed by that Mourinho. Now all he has to do is get another league trophy from La Liga so he can say that's he's won two league trophies from four leagues. If Mourinho really wants to make his career to an amazing, outstanding, out of the ordinary (which it basically is), he should try and manage teams in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1. To me if he can do that, I will consider him one of the best managers that has ever graced the name of football (he already is one), but I still prefer Guardiola over him. That's just me.

And for Cristiano Ronaldo, after being at the club for 3 years, he's finally able to claim a Spanish League trophy. He's now won 4 league trophies out his entire career, 3 from the EPL and one from La Liga. Will Ronaldo move on to different leagues to see if he can conquer them all? I'm not sure. He's 27 years old, so he still has some time to achieve amazing things, which he already has, breaking records winning awards, etc. etc.

As a Barcelona fan, it may be weird that I'm putting crowns and jewels on Real Madrid, but I respect them as a very good side in football. They have world class players that make up a world class team. I don't want to be ignorant and be that person who says "Real Madrid suck! Ronald sucks!" No. That's disrespectful and shows no class. And let's be honest, it's not true. Real Madrid is a club which always has real talent. And to recognize that, means I can respect the club. I don't have to like them, but they are a successful club that deserve the respect. (It's like you can respect someone's decision, but you may not like it). That's one reason I really like Barcelona, they don't take defeat light-heartily, but they do take defeat in grace. Instead of complaining and making outrageous comments, Barcelona move on and just continue to play and win. To me that's a great example, and as a fan on the sidelines I can show the same Barcelona attitude, by respecting other clubs instead of speaking trash about them. That's what I call Mes Que un Club!
