[football] Barcelona Fails to Win in Last Match of US Tour


FC Barcelona ended their USA tour with a draw against Chivas Guadalaraja. Though first elven of the team included most of the important players of the team but the Blaugranas could not score a goal in the first 45 minutes. In the second 8 players were substituted leaving only Alves, Valdes and Pedro on field. However the shocker came a few minute into the second half when the Chivas scored through Morales. Barca got the equaliser from Bojan at the 64th minute but could not score the winner in the match. The performance of youngsters like Pedro and Dos Santos was impressive however Bojan failed to impress. UK bound Gudjohnson who is being linked with West Ham and Celtic got the chance to play most probably for the last time im the second half of the match when he replaced Xavi.

Barca squad: Valdes, Alves, Pique(Puyol), Muniesa(Fontas), Maxwell(Abidal); Toure(Busquets), Xavi(Gudjohnson), Keita(Dos Santos); Henry(Jeffren) , Messi(Bojan), Pedro.
