Pre-season games are just that pre-season fine-tuning with Clubs testing players, especially their youngsters.

The Spanish Football Club won 0 - 8 & the news - or no news - was that LIONEL MESSI scored a HAT-TRICK with two goals from ALEXIS & one each from ALVES, SERGI GOMEZ & DEUFOLEU.

Spanish Football Sports Blog had a widget that gave up-to-date statistics on the current situation with the "Leading Goalscorers" & their actual goal tally. That widget went down the toilet when the source stopped actualizing the information, thus it made no sense to keep it up.

Good moment to give the current list of SPANISH FOOTBALL LEAGUE leading goal scorers. The widget on the side of the blog by our friends at "footbo.com" is obviously wrong & it looks like they are not getting their "shit" together. I am even contemplating removing the widget, I will allow a week more to see if they react.

Many Football observers have made the popular comment that Spanish Football Club FC BARCELONA is from another planet, making reference to the teams form of touch Football, non-stop titles & incredible "extra-terrestrial" players.
