Liga de Campones. Oh, and Barca went to Madrid, and won!

Life has been hectic, and thanks to BeIN not being carried on Time Warner, my ability to watch Barcelona live has been difficult. Last weekend saw what could have been a tricky away fixture go Barca's way. Traveling to Getafe coming off an international break that saw Messi, Villa, and Dani Alves on the bench to start the game. An early Adriano strike gave Barca the lead going into the half, and they refused to let the Burger Kings into the game. Messi brought his invisible bike (which he now rides with no hands) and scored two off the bench, with Villa getting on the score sheet as well. A late own goal courtesy of Javier Mascherano gave Getafe a glimmer of hope, but it would not be their day in the Capitol.

Oh look, I can add videos too! Interactive Blog, ENGAGE!

Looking ahead, in La Liga, Barcelona will enjoy a spell of 10 days off as this weekend they do not play a league game, having drawn a Wednesday Champions League match against Spartak Moscow, set to kick off in a few short hours.

A quick look at the top and bottom of the La Liga table
1. Barcelona       12 pts  4-0-0
2. Malaga           10 pts  3-1-0
3. Mallorca         8 pts    2-2-0
4. Sevilla            8 pts    2-2-0
5. Ath. Madrid   7 pts     2-1-0

Where's Real Madrid? Surely I have forgotten the Blancos, no?

Oh, here they are.

I'll be back after a Barcelona win to kick off the 2012-2013 Champions League!
