Arsenal v Barcelona
on Feb 17 @ Balls Channel
One of the games I’m excited to watch. I love Barca! With powerhouse players such as Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique, David Villa, Andrés Iniesta (who’s probably itching to play as he wasn’t able to see much action last year due to his thigh injury) and Xavi, it’s going to be a pretty interesting match. But we won’t be seeing Puyol, though, as he’s out on knee injury L
There’s a young player, Thiago Alcántara, added to the squad… hmmmm… any relation to our great Paulino Alcántara?

Sorry to the Arsenal fans, the only player I recognize is Cesc Fabregas. :P
