$$ FCB first draw this seasons against Malaga

Málaga FC claims the first point against FC Barcelona Wednesday, who loses their 100% in a 0-0 draw Wednesday. Málaga FC was very attentive, playing a strong, defensive game that Barça could not penetrate. “Slow game?” Iniesta said after the final whistle, “We tried but Málaga was very defensive. We knew it, but couldn’t solve it. They did a good job, we’ll take the point.

” "We always aim to get three points but although people take it as given that we’ll always win, today showed that that’s not the case” said tonight’s FC Barcelona captain Andrés Iniesta after the first setback in what has until now been the perfect start to the league season. And he felt that it was Malaga’s defensive tactics that were the main cause of their failure to score at La Rosaleda.

 Both Neymar and Messi were covered vigorously by the defense, while a few mistakes in the defense saw Bravo making several saves. The pitch in Andaluciá has had its share of criticism for being sticky. On the contrary, Neymar seemed to be sliding, unable to get a good handle on the ball in order to execute several chances. Still, Barça was missing the quick rhythm they have shown in the past few games. Meanwhile, Málaga were attentive and energetic throughout the game, constricting Barça’s chances.

 FCB Manager, Luis Enriquez admitted, “It was the hardest game so far because the opposition got things right.” Enriquez had switched the line-up yet again, particularly in the defense where they continue to have trouble spots. Out were Mascherano, Jordi Alba and Mathieu. In came Douglas, who made his debut today playing right fullback, alongside Pique, replacing Matheiu. Bartra and Alba joined them in the back line, while the midfield and front trio remained the same from Sunday.
