Post-Match Buzz: Barca-Leonesa

As he pauses a moment in the contemplation of why most of his goals are scored two at a time, Bojan wants everyone to excuse our lack of updates lately, and hopes that we can get things back on track during this international break! We'll have to do without the match report for Barca's 5-0 trumping of Cultural Leonesa, but here is the match-related aftermath...

- The Barca boys came onto the pitch sporting black bands in recognition of the death of Robert Enke, the german goalkeeper who once played for the club during the 2002-2003 season, and a moment' silence was held for him prior to kickoff. Rest in peace, Robert.

- Jeffren gave a hell of a performance against Leonesa, but as medics report he came off with an injury. He's pulled a muscle in his right calf and will be out for around a week, meaning he'll miss joining the Spanish U-21 squad during this week's international break. Get well soon Jeffy!

- Going into the game, Barca was three goals short of having scored 200 under Pep Guardiola in official matches. And with our boys mamaging to find the net all of five times, Pep's Barca now has a professional goal tally of 202!

- The mighty hearts who knocked out Real Madrid, Alcorcon, are now set to be Barca's next opponents in the Copa Del Rey - and we're by no means underestimating them.
