Tito Vilanova: “We played at a good level in the first half”

The manager believes that "the normal thing would have been a much better scoreline at the break"
He defends Alexis: "We can forgive him his missed chances, but we can’t forgive him if he doesn’t try, and he tries"

Tito Vilanova rued his men’s missed chances after tonight’s match: “In the first half we played at a good level and the normal thing would have been to go to the break with a better result.” The manager also contradicted Manuel Pellegrini, who declared that Málaga were the better side in the second half: “I don’t think Málaga were superior. In the first half we were the better side and in the second it was more equal.”

“It wasn’t an easy day to play”

Without using it as an excuse, the manager noted that “today wasn’t an easy day to play.” It was windy and the ball wasn’t optimal, said Vilanova, who also lamented the lack of chances created in the final 15 minutes of the match when Barça were up a man. “We didn’t open up the field when they were reduced to 10 men,” he said.

Tito defends Alexis

Vilanova was quick to come to Alexis’ aid when he was asked about the forward’s two missed chances in the first half: “Just like with Thiago, we need to help him. He’s a young player that goes all out. If he missed those chances it’s because he worked hard to create them. We can forgive him his missed chances, but we can’t forgive him if he doesn’t try, and he tries. He’s one of us and if we don’t help him it will be more difficult for him.”

Here are the statements made by the Barça players after the match:

Iniesta:

“It’s a shame but this is the Cup. We have to go there and win the match.”

Pinto:

“We deserved a better result but we still have 90 minutes to play. We know that it will be complicated but nothing has been decided.”

“We’re obligated to win. We know we can do it because we did it in La Liga.”

“The fans are very important to us. We feel like we’re accompanied by them and that gives us confidence. The fans encourage us and they give us strength.”

“We’re a bit sad but we have to pick ourselves up and move on.”

Mascherano:

“It’s a shame because we had chances to increase our lead, especially in the first half. We didn’t manage to convert those chances and we ended up conceding the equaliser while being up a man.”

“We shouldn’t feel down about it, what we need to do is correct the errors and go to Málaga and win the match.”

“Sometimes there are matches where we can’t play with the same fluidity that we have in other matches.”

“We shouldn’t go crazy about this, rather we just need to go to Málaga and win the game. This team has shown that it can win in any stadium.”

“It will be a difficult match because our opponent has very good players and a good manager.”

Puyol:

“Málaga didn’t give up. They kept on fighting and the managed to get their prize. We played against a good team today.”

“In the first half we played well, we could have scored more goals but it wasn’t meant to be. Now we have to go there and win.”

“We have to move on, learn from our errors and go to Málaga and win the game.”

Zubizarreta: “I'm happy for Guardiola”

FC Barcelona's Sporting Director talks about Pep Guardiola's decision to join Bayern Munich
Vilanova: "He's had time to choose and he selected Bayern Munich, a top notch club"

The German Club officially announced this Wednesday that ex-Barça manager Josep Guardiola will be their new head coach through 2016. The news didn’t go unnoticed at the Camp Nou. “I’m very pleased for Guardiola. It means that he’s doing well and that he’s well rested; it means that he’s eager to return to the world of football. Tito said this Tuesday that it’s good for someone like Guardiola to be involved in football,” said Andoni Zubizarreta after tonight’s match against Málaga.

FC Barcelona’s director of football said that he had no prior knowledge of the agreement and that he understands why Guardiola selected a team like Bayern: “Bayern are a club that can offer you a solid and stable project, they also have good players. He’s found what he was looking for and I’m happy for him.”

“Bayern are a top notch team”

Tito Vilanova also talked about Guardiola’s move to the German club: “I’m very happy that he decided to return. Bayern are a great team.” The FC Barcelona manager also noted that “from what I understand there was a confidentiality clause,” but he considers that Guardiola made the correct decision: “I don’t know how many teams or what kind of contracts he was offered but I’m sure they were all top notch. He’s had time to think about where to go. Bayern are an historic club, they have four Champions League titles to their name, and their facilities are fantastic.”

Here are Puyol, Mascherano and Pinto’s reactions to the news:

Puyol: “They are a very good team and he’s a fantastic manager. He’s going to one of the big clubs in Europe and I wish him the best.”

Mascherano: “It was expected for Guardiola to manage a great club and that’s what Bayern is. They have a lot of German players, they have a defined philosophy and style of play.”

Pinto: “We knew that he was eager to start managing again. I wish him the best. If he’s happy, we’re happy.”

Leo Messi ended 2012 with an all-time world record of 91 goals in a calendar year, thus breaking the previous best set by Gerd Müller (85 in 1972). Messi wanted to share the moment with the legendary player known as The Torpedo by sending him a Barça shirt on which he has written the message: “To Gerd Müller / My respect and admiration / A hug”.
The shirt has been sent along with a letter from FCB president Sandro Rosell to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the chief executive at Bayern Munich, in which he expresses his “recognition for the figure and person of Gerd Müller” adding that the previous record “was clearly an added motivation and target for Messi”.
“The love and admiration that our Club feels for Bayern and its supporters has once again been demonstrated through the historic bond between these two players who have set new standards and generated such sentiment among our respective fans”, said the Barça president.

"I want to share the Ballon d'Or with my FC Barcelona teammates, especially with Andrés [Iniesta]"

Leo Messi has the Midas touch. This Monday afternoon, at the Kongresshaus in Zurich, the Argentine genius was named the winner of the FIFA Ballon d’Or for the fourth time in as many years. He beat out Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo and teammate Andrés Iniesta, second and third respectively. The winner of the award in 2006, Paolo Cannavaro, was charged with reading the name of the winner and awarding the trophy.

“It’s an honour”
Messi, 25 years old, was visibly touched to win the Ballon d’Or: “Winning this award again is incredible. It’s impressive. I want to share this with my FC Barcelona teammates, especially with Andrés [Iniesta], and also with the players of the Argentina national team. It’s an honour. Thank you to my family, my friends, and lastly and especially to my wife and son, he’s the most precious thing God has given me.” His speech was followed by long standing ovation by the FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala attendees.

Messi surpasses Cruyff, Platini and Van Basten

With his latest Ballon d’Or conquest, Messi is now the only footballer in the history of the sport to ever win the trophy four times. He surpassed Michel Platini’s three consecutive Ballon d’Or wins (1983, 1984 and 1985), the three trophies won by Johan Cruyff (1971, 1973 and 1974) and Marco van Basten’s three wins (1988, 1989 and 1992). Leo Messi, simply put, is a living legend.

ADRIANO

Profile:::::

An extremely versatile performer for Sevilla, Adriano played consistently for the club for six years before sealing a move to Barcelona in the summer of 2010. Able to play in five different positions, his work rate and stamina saw him capped by Brazil early in his career.
Beginning his footballing life in Brazil with Coritiba, he was snapped up by Sevilla in 2004 and went on to win at least one title in four of his six seasons at the club. He was also a member of the Brazilian national side that won the Copa America, in Peru, in 2004, but failed to gain another cap after that.
Seen as one of the best widemen in La Liga, Barcelona signed him for around €9 million in the summer of 2010.
Strengths: Very quick and versatile, he boasts good skill on the ball and is a threat from wide areas.
Weaknesses: A little lightweight, his attacking instincts can leave him out of position and his tackling is not the strongest.
Career high: Winning back-to-back UEFA Cup titles with Sevilla in 2005 and 2006.
Career low: Failure to make the Brazil 2006 World Cup squad.
Style: Quick, skillful, a versatile performer.
Quotes: "The truth is that I began my career at Coritiba as a left-back and that is where I can best show off my virtues. I feel most comfortable on the left, but I am accustomed to playing in other positions without too much problem.'' Adriano on joining Barcelona.
Trivia: Like many Barcelona signings, his buyout clause is high: €90 million to be exact.

JORDI ALBA

Profile:::

Barcelona swooped to land Spanish left-back Alba after his impressive Euro 2012 campaign. An international star for years to come, a bargain €14 million pricetag ensured that the Catalans landed yet another player with 'Barca DNA'.
Born in Barcelona, he joined La Masia but was released by the club in 2005. Joining the neighbouring UE Cornella and, after two years of progression, he departed in a €6,000 deal to Valencia.
Initially earning his chance in the reserves, he was promoted to the first-team in 2009 and snatched the opportunity to shine as Valencia's defence suffered injury problems. Becoming a key performer for Los Che, he was rewarded with a call-up to the Spanish Under-21 squad and cemented his place by the time he made the full squad in 2011.
First-choice in the Spain defence who conceded just one goal at Euro 2012, he agreed a return to Barcelona with his club contract running down and moved back to the Nou Camp that summer.
Strengths: An attacking full-back who will complement Dani Alves well, Alba's pace and stamina helps him get up and down the flanks.
Weaknesses: Defensively he is not the firmest tackler, while he can be caught out of position when he is upfield.
Career high: Scoring the second goal in the final of Euro 2012, he lifted his first major trophy.
Career low: Leaving Barcelona's academy aged 15, he must have wondered if he would succeed as a professional footballer.
Style: Quick, dynamic, a modern full-back who will bring more class to Barcelona.
Quotes: "I'm coming home, with my family and my people, that's why I'm so content. It's been an incredible month for me and now I have to take advantage of the opportunity that Barcelona have given me. I'm excited that I'll be playing for the best team in the world, with the best players and the best fans. It's a big challenge for me but I'll try to do my best. I was only 15 when I left Barcelona to do my own thing. Luckily, after some years, they have signed me again. The club has given me a chance and I'm very pleased." Jordi Alba in an interview club's official website.
Trivia: Alba appeared in all four games as Spain won the gold medal at the 2009 Mediterranenan Games and played in both the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship and the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt.

PEDRO

Profile:::

Pedro was part of the Barcelona youth team setup for two years before he started to show his class as Pep Guardiola's men made history by sealing a six-trophy haul in 2009.
Often used as a super-sub in his first senior season, he picked up more medals in a few months than most players will collect in an entire career and made his mark on one of the most talented squads in football history, cementing his place in the side.
Pedro had not won a cap for Spain before he was included in their 23-man squad for South Africa 2010, but performed so well that he started the final - a 1-0 triumph.
Strengths: Fast and agile, he can beat a man and also has good vision and passing skills.
Weaknesses: Lack physical presence and can be knocked off the ball easily. A lack of height also limits his aerial prowess.
Career high: Winning the 2010 World Cup with Spain only just beats his impact in Barcelona's six-trophy haul of 2008-09.
Career low: Playing just seven minutes in his first two seasons at Barcelona.
Style: Technical, tricky, a composed wideman.
Quotes: "We all knew that he was a quality player and that he was good enough for the team, but he's offering more than we ever imagined." Pep Guardiola, April 2010.
Trivia: He is the only player to score in six different club competitions in one season - his three domestic tournaments, the UEFA Champions League, Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
