http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique believes that the season’s start couldn’t have been better, as La Blaugrana have managed to win each and every game they have been a part of.
Barcelona lost one of the best coaches in their history, Josep Guardiola, as he decided to take a break from football.
While many thought that it will be hard for the Catalan giants to pick themselves up after such a big loss, they have done exactly the opposite.
After managing to impress throughout the pres-season friendly games, Barcelona started their season perfectly as they managed to win their first game 5-1 against Real Sociedad.
After the first La Liga fixture, Barcelona had to compete in the Supercopa de Espana and the first leg took place at the Nou Camp.
Even though Barcelona were the side who conceded first, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and Xavi Hernandez were all on target.
The match ended with the final score-line of 3-2, as a goalkeeping howler made by Victor Valdes allowed Angel Di Maria to score a late goal.
Later, Barcelona faced Osasuna in the league, and yet again the Catalan giants had to make a comeback as the home side managed to take a one-goal lead and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 trailed behind them for most of the game.
However, Messi scored a brace to help Barcelona gather all three points, and take his side 5 points clear of Real Madrid, who are currently in the 15th position in the league.
While speaking about this brilliant start taken by Barcelona, Gerard Pique said:
“The season couldn’t have got off to a better start - Six out of six in the League and a good result in the Super Cup.”
“We played better against Madrid than the result showed, but it’s always hard to beat them.”
“That was the game where we were least like ourselves, but the season is long and of course there are things that we’ll need to improve.”
Barcelona are now going to face Real Madrid in the second leg of the Supercopa de Espana. While Barcelona have a 3-2 advantage against their arch rivals, Mourinho is going to try and use the two away goals to his advantage.
