LIGA BBVA – Barcelona wins the first title of the season and shows hunger for more

After the first of two games against Sevilla, where they lost 3 to 1

, despite the important absentees that they had that day, many believed that Barcelona's hunger for glory could have been satiated by the massive success they experimented in the past two years. Truth is, those speculations are very far from reality, and this past Saturday was just a quick brushstroke of how these players will face every game of the season. They came out that day two goals down in the series, and ended up hammering their opponent 4-0, leaving a really good impression of what to expect from them throughout this year.

Unlike their biggest rival, Real Madrid, Barcelona has let more players out than the ones who have come in, that turn to be just two so far: Valencia's striker David Villa and Sevilla's multitasker Adriano, in contrast with six back ups from Madrid. This is just a sign that there is a lot of trust placed in the players that grow up in the minor leagues, and there shouldn't be any doubts about the success that this youngsters could have in the team, when players like: Messi, Iniesta, Busquets, Bojan, and Pedro, just to name a few, have followed that same path that has led them to consolidate their game among the best players in the world.

Rumors about new back ups joining the team only involve Liverpool's Javier Mascherano as of today. The only thing that the coach Joseph Guardiola has left clear regarding the chance of new players joining the team is that he thinks that with the arrival of a defensive pivot, the roster should be completed and ready to face competition. That is exactly the position that Mascherano's profile fits into, where Barcelona currently only has Busquets, after selling Toure to Manchester Citiy. In case Mascherano or someone else doesn't come in, Guardiola doesn't seem to have a problem depending on youngsters like Oriul Romero and Jonathan dos Santos.

With the beginning of the Liga BBVA this coming Sunday, the starting line up for the debut against Racing de Santander should be: Victor Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Puyol, Abidal, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Messi, and Villa. This will be one of the strongest, most gifted line ups in Europe, with the big difference above the rest of counting with 8 of the FIFA World Cup champions , and as if it wasn't sufficient, with Lionel Messi as well.

What will happen with Ibra?

The only thing that is unclear about Barcelona's future is the role that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will have this season. Last year he arrived as the most expensive transfer that the club has ever done, 45 millions Euros plus Eto'o, and had a good start, but then lost prominence and was relegated to the bench by Bojan. The media talks about a possible interest by Milan, where he might immigrate looking for more chances to play, because for this season David Villa will count with many more chances than him. Many clubs have shown interest in his services, but his high salary of 12 million Euros is definitely an inconvenience for them. Guardiola preferred to remain quiet about this issue, and so do we.
