The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604’s style of play and attributed it to their growing number of fans worldwide.
La Blaugrana have caught the imagination of players and fans worldwide, and the former Italian star is no different. Gianfranco Zola praised Barcelona for their pleasant-on-the-eye footballing style and stated that it is difficult not to like them.
"I believe the same thing that everyone else does, they play spectacular football, very pretty to see. The majority of supporters admire Barcelona because of their fantastic football and for the type of players they have," Zola said.
Thanks to their positive footballing pedigree, the Camp Nou-based outfit has already added three trophies to its burgeoning silverware haul and can add another one in the form of Copa del Rey.
Barcelona are also on course in their UEFA Champions League title defence as they lock horns with Bayer Leverkusen in the Round-of-16 in mid-February.
Reflecting on their chances of winning the prized continental trophy for two consecutive times, Zola believes that Barcelona are the favourites to retain their Champions League title.
"It’s a big challenge because it’s not easy to win the Champions League, even more so for a team like Barca, having won so much. However, if anyone can do it, they can."
Despite their excellent form in cup competitions, Barcelona have stuttered in their campaign to retain La Liga title. The Catalonia based-outfit has accrued a seven-point advantage to arch-rivals Real Madrid who stand on the brink of bringing La Blaugrana’s
reign of dominance in the Iberian Peninsula.
Barcelona have been marred by injuries in the current season as they have registered 27 injury cases thus far, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 being notable casualties.
