FC BARCELONA put in a magnificent performance tonight to turn around the 1º leg 1- 3 deficit result & win the 2 ºleg match against SEVILLA FC 4-0 to take another title, the 2010 SPANISH SUPER CUP, with a 5-3 aggregate total. In fact, I ask myself, why did Sevilla bother turning up at all, as they clearly had their minds in next Tuesdays "do or die" Champions League 2º leg qualifier against Braga. They were outplayed & blasted off "Camp Nou", especially in the 1ºst half, where they simply looked liked practicing "dummies". However, no merit must be taken away from the Spanish Champions who played with their World Champions from the start as Valdes, Pique, Busquets, Pedro & Xavi ( below) who was the "master-blaster" with pin-point passes that gave the opening goals.
All this & LIONEL MESSI who put in his first new season HAT-TRICK with goals in the 24th, 43rd & 90th min. The man is totally diffrent with Barça, a World Class act, that for some unknown reason does not shine when he plays with Argentina.
The other goal - the opener - was an own goal by Sevilla FC player KONKA in the 13th min after PEDRO dribbled pass 3 defenders to shoot at goal.
An interesting observation, IBRAHIMOVIC stayed on the bench all night. It is obvious that Pedro is seen as priority, with Bojan & Villa who came on late in the 2ºhalf, for the forward positions. One may deduce - or not - that Coach Guardiola sent a "message" to the Swede that this season is going to be difficult & that an "exit" solution may be to his benifit. Said this, perhaps it is an exaggerated interpretation but it will surely be part of debate tomorrow in the Sporting papers.
Congratulations to FC Barcelona.

For me, if Ibrahimovic gets some playing time and regains his confidence, he could become a great player for Barcelona. He just needs to be used in the right way, and he also needs a coach which gives him lots of support, like Mourinho did for him.
