Instead of seeing Spain's two biggest teams play for the biggest trophy in club football, it's much more likely ...

Lionel Messi & Co. came through in spectacular fashion with another record-setting night. Messi started the revival with a pair of first-half goals, and Barcelona...

Lionel Messi most definitely is the world's best footballer. He will, for many fans of football become the best ever, eclipsing Pele and Diego Maradona, if he wins the World Cup with Argentina next year.

Their success is built on foundations so solid it has seemingly become self-perpetuating, almost capable of taking care of itself. So Messi & Co. will weather the...
