First bit of news.

[Srbija]

The first match is the Supercopa final against Barcelona and Espanyol. This rivalry has always provided a great show for the fans of both teams and it proved to be yet another close match with Espanyol getting an early goal from Luis Garcia, in the 15th minute, which put the visitors on the front foot.

Barcelona responded in the 35th minute from a nice solo run by Lionel Messi which got the home fans up off their seats (check highlights for goal)

It was pretty even for the rest of the match and nothing really opened up for both teams with players like Ronaldinho and Eto'o only showing slight glimpses of what they can really do.

The match finished 1-1 and now Barcelona would be going away for the next match in hope of a win over Espanyol.

Espanyol were off to another great start with, once again, Luis Garcia scoring very early to put Espanyol in front (9th minute).

It stayed 1-0 for the rest of the half and Barcelona fans were getting a bit nervous but, they would be cheering 10 minutes later when Samuel Eto'o hit the back of the net from inside the box.

Messi once again proved to be a danger for Barca as he weaved his way through the Espanyol defence only to miss by inches.

It was Eto'o once again that proved he is a danger man when he scored off of a Ronaldinho shot that rebounded off of the keeper.

The match finished 2-1 in favour of Barca and they took home the cup.

He couldn't score, but he sort of got an assist.

You got a nice graphics card.

The first match of the season has Barcelona against Osasuna at home. As usual, it was a pretty tight match until Ronaldinho proved what he was worth and scored a nice goal to give the home team the lead in the 36th minute.

It stayed 1-0 for the rest of the first half without both teams having alot of chances until the 64th minute when Soldado scored a header for Osasuna to level it up. Messi tried responding off of the kick off by taking the ball all the way to about 35 yards out and striking it but, just missing, hitting the post and going out.

Barcelona had more momentum and when Ludovic Giuly took the ball from inside Osasuna's half making it a 3 on 3 and with a perfectly timed run by Ronaldinho, Giuly played a nice ball and Ronaldinho finished it off.

Osasuna had one last chance but, missed very badly as the full time whistle blew to give Barcelona the 2-1 win.
