Barca Buzz: Owning The Show

The dudes who run La Liga, otherwise known as the LFP (La Liga de Futbol Profesional) just dished out all the player awards for last season, and naturally, it was all about Barca, with seven spots out of nine going to our boys:
.
Best Player: Lionel Messi
Best Coach: Pep Guardiola
Best Defender: Daniel Alves
Best Midfielder: Xavi
Best Attacking Midfielder: Andres Iniesta
Best Striker: Lionel Messi
Best Breakthrough Player: Sergi Busquets

Meanwhile Iker Casillas of Real Madrid came off with Best Keeper, and the Fair Play award went to Deportivo's Juan Carlos Valeron.
.
Barca was also in the spotlight for the individual awards presented by Marca, with Victor Valdes named Zamora (keeper with least goals conceded) and Pep recognized as best coach (Miguel Munoz award). Vic showed up to accept his award and looked hot doing it, but Pep was too busy as always and had vice president Rafael Yuste accept it on his behalf.

Elsewhere, Diego Forlan was named Pichichi (top goalscorer) and David Villa took home the Zara award (top Spaniard goalscorer). The Guruceta award for best referee ended up going to Megia Davila - yeah, that dude who works somewhere in the offices of Real Madrid right now.

You gotta love the Barca boys stealing the show and totally rocking it out in their matching suits - we kind of can't take our eyes off Xavi. Oh yeah, and on the side: we noticed it of course at the Zaragoza match but forgot to mention: thank goodness Leo's cut his hair short again!
