So Los Culés won the first leg of the Spanish Supercopa yesterday thanks to the outstanding Xavi (quem mais, really?!) Bilbao tried, but you know you’re in trouble when Barca don’t field Messiah, Iniesta or even Ibracadabra and still pull off a lovely win. Xavi’s scored the opener in the second half and it was also his crucial assist that led to youngster Pedro’s first goal for the club…. from twenty-five yards! What a way to make an entrance, vato…

Also, Pep making rapid gestures from the sidelines sort of sets the tone for competitive club football, doesn’t it? Supercopa’s second league is next weekend at the Nou Camp, so let’s see if Barca can start off their season with a bang!
