Spanish animals! Not even one tiny little buffer zone? Nothing? Not a fight? No objects thrown on players' heads?

Messina again blow <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Barca simply the best in Spain.And Europe if defense title.

Barcelona played very good and they deserved the win. But if the players think that they will everything this year, it could be very bad for them because they could lose more games. But I think that they will hold there feet on the ground
