By now, you’ve probably watched Messi’s penalty pass in yesterday’s Barcelona-Celta mathup 100 times. It was an ode to solidarity on the soccer pitch – a wonderful moment to celebrate Valentine’s Day by sharing a goal with some of your teammates.

For the second time this month (third, if you include the fact that he’s the only player featured twice on our Golazos del año list), Lionel Messi has won big. He did it at the LFP Gala Awards – winning La Liga’s best striker and best player – and now he’s gone and done it again:

By now you’ve most likely heard (and perhaps laughed until you cried) about Real Madrid’s most recent crisis. Denis Cheryshev – apparently suspended after compiling three yellow cards during Copa del Rey action with Villarreal last season – featured in Rafa’s starting 11 on Wednesday.

It’s that time of the year, when everyone starts to make sense of what happened in the last 12 months. We sports fans start giving out our very own awards.

Once Again, Javier Mascherano Gets Torn a New One (For Evading Taxes)

Alfonso Félix — Thu, 29 Oct 2015 20:56:54 +0000

It seems like the two-game suspension imposed on Javier Mascherano for getting a red card in his last game is the least of his problems. The Argentine defender just pleaded guilty to two counts of tax evasion. Each count might carry a prison term of one to five years, but let’s be honest, that’s not happening.

As Catalonia Votes on Independence, Is Barcelona Playing Its Last Matches in La Liga?

Alfonso Félix — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 20:26:43 +0000

Catalonia will hold elections for 135 Parliament members on Sunday, who will in turn vote for a Catalonian president. If the coalition led by Artur Mas (the current president) wins the majority of votes, it is expected that Catalonia will continue its path to independence. So if Catalonia becomes a separate country from Spain, what will happen with Barcelona’s
