Barça's Fantastic Three

Monday, 08 December 08, 10:48 AM · Comments (13)

some bloke, henry, eto'o and messi

There was a lot of talk last season about Barça's fantastic four. However, Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry failed to perform while Samuel Eto'o and Leo Messi missed a lot of games through injury and hardly ever coincided in the team. This season things have been quite different: with Ronaldinho in Italy the remaining three have been hitting the net with an incredible consistency, so far this season between them the three have scored no fewer than thirty goals in La Liga and ten in the Champions League. Samuel Eto'o has bagged 14 in the league and 3 in Europe with an average of a goal every 79 minutes played. Messi has 9 league goals and 5 in the Champions League and an average of a goal every 91 minutes, while Henry now has 7 in the league and 2 in Europe, his average works out as a goal every 138 minutes. So with the permission of Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta, Toure, Alves, etc. today I'd like to pay homage to our three main strikers. Keep banging them in boys.

layibiyi:
Toure is essential for Barça's success and so is Pujol but Toure is one of the best DM's in Europe . He is irreplaceable !!
