Pep started the line up with 1 Víctor Valdés 3 Gerard Pique 4 Rafael Márquez 19 Maxwell 2 Daniel Alves
6 Xavi 24 Yaya Toure 20 Jeffrén Suárez 17 Pedro 11 Bojan Krkic 10 Lionel Messi although not playing with our best team we proved to be too much of a challenge for Deportivo.
We opened the scoring with a Xavi created Bojan finisher. Bojan snuck through 2 defenders to slot in a lovely ball from Xavi at the back of the net to put us in the lead 16 mins after kick off .
We pretty much dominated the first half having little over 70% of the ball, but went into half-time with just the one goal on the score sheet.
I was scared that we might just looking at an late upset form Deportivo, but all that was going to change.A poor clearing from Deportivo goalie saw Pedro making a amazing strike to find the netting from the half line spot.The ball curled passed the Goalie with him totally helpless and in dismay as the ball found the back of the net.
We were 2 goals up in the 69th min but then just 3 mins later Yaya ( THE BEAST) scored to put us 3 goals up and seal the deal on the outcome of this match.
It was a great effort form our boys, but we will have to work a lot harder in the next game if we are to win against our city rivals in the derby match against Espanyol on Saturday.And hopefully we see Ibra playing at-least in the second half to get himself a footing in before the big match against Inter.
