NUMANCIA STUN BARCA!

Newly promoted Numancia got off to a dream start with a 1:0 home victory over Pep Guardiola's new look Barcelona. Numancia goal came from midfielder Mario on 14 minutes. Barcelona should have scored when Messi's superb free kick hit the post. Credit to Numancia they played good soccer and were outstanding as a deffensive unit closing down Henry and Eto'o. Henry showed why he is considered a flop with a truly terrible performance. But as Guardiola said, this match won't decide if we win the title. It is a let down for Barca fans though. Top of the table are Athletico Madrid, winners 4:0 over Malaga.
