As FC Barcelona ushers in a new era under President Sandro Rosell, it’s puzzling how the club has dealt with the media regarding its lack of exposure in the US via Barça TV and its nonexistent or unavailable online Barça TV service. Additionally, the club’s lack of action against other media outlets fabricating stories and painting the club and its players in a bad image is disheartening. Why do we have to rely on just Sid Lowe and Graham Hunter to stick up for the club and not threaten legal action itself against the Daily Express and Marca? This is a new era and this is a great time to usher in new changes and take advantage of promoting the club when it is considered one of the greatest in the world. Opportunity is knocking, so will the club answer?

FC Barcelona’s roster was finally set following the loans of Caceres and Hleb before the transfer window closed. This summer saw FC Barcelona sign David Villa from Valencia, Adriano from Sevilla, and Javier Mascherano from Liverpool. The club also saw Ibrahimović, Yaya Touré, Rafa Marquez and Thierry Henry leave the team. Additionally, Victor Sanchez was loaned out to Getafe for a season, Henrique was loaned out to Racing for the second year in a row while Keirrison is back in Brazil on loan with Santos. With season resuming again next week, the club will depend on their squad and its youth players in their quest to retain the league trophy for the third straight season.

FC Barcelona kicked off their season today in a grand fashion as they made easy work of Racing for their first victory of the season. Messi opened the scoring in the second minute and Iniesta doubled the club’s lead before Valdes stopped a penalty shot to protect a two goal first half lead. David Villa scored the club’s only goal in the second half and the club celebrated their first victory of the season. It was not all roses as Puyol suffered an injury during warm ups which lead to Pique had to start in his place after being selected as a substitute prior to kick off and Xavi also had to be substituted at the half because of an Achilles problem. Barça won’t be back in action until they host recently promoted Hercules on September 12 because of international games next week and one has to wonder if Puyol and Xavi will remain with the club and not be called up for international duty.
