Andres Iniesta

Spain defeated Georgia by 2-0 in their final World Cup qualifying game played at Albacete on Tuesday and with that, they made sure that they would be going to Brazil next year to defend their World Cup title.

La Roja ended at top position in their group with 20 points in 8 matches. France which was the other strong side in that group finished at no. 2 with 17 points.

Tuesday’s game was pretty special for Spain’s star midfielder Andres Iniesta as he was playing in his hometown. A huge amount of people had turned up to watch him play and when he walked onto the ground, he was given a standing ovation.

It would certainly have been a very emotional moment for Iniesta, but, he didn’t let the emotions get better of him. He rose to the occasion and with another superb outing, he guided Spain to the finals.

Andres Iniesta has hailed his compatriot Jesus Navas and has said that not many players in the Premier League can match his speed and strength.
Navas has recently signed for the Premier League club Manchester City after leaving Sevilla. The transfer fee paid by City for buying him is rumoured to be around 14.9 million Pounds.

Navas played for Sevilla for 10 years between 2003 and 2013. He proved to be a real match winner for them. He featured for them in a total of 284 games and found the net 23 times.

Apart from club football, Navas has an impressive record in international football too. He has put up quite a few brilliant performances for his national side Spain in his brief international career.

Talking about Navas, Iniesta said, “He is a high quality player. There are not too many players in the world who are quicker than him. He is going to give defenders some headaches in the Premier League.”

Following the euphoria of European qualification a couple of years ago, Newcastle United came back down to earth with a bump last season, as they barely avoided crashing out of the Premier League. The clubs fanatical fans will be hoping for much better next season, and many will no doubt already be putting bets on them to qualify for the Champions League – or at least the Europa League – next season. But with the pre-season bookmakers odds already out there, are Newcastle considered a good bet for this, or more likely to be involved in another relegation battle?

Well at the moment you can get odds of around 9/1 on Newcastle to finish in the top six – and secure a return to the Europa League – next season, although most observers will feel that the team needs strengthening if they are to achieve this. The odds will certainly attract some football betting fans, but it would seem likely that securing a striking replacement for Demba Ba will be necessary.

The manager of Barcelona FC, Tito Vilanova, has joined the camp again after successfully going through chemotherapy. This is great news for Barcelona as they have to play a couple of very important matches in the next few days.

Vilanova had gone to USA in the 3rd week of January for Chemotherapy. It was expected that he would be joining the Barcelona camp in a couple of months if everything would go well.

Everything went really well and his chemotherapy was successful. Now, he is back to guide the Catalan club to Champions League and La Liga title victory.

Vilanova earlier had a tumour in his throat and he went through a surgery for the removal of that towards the end of 2011. He remained healthy for about 12 months or so, but, in December last year, that problem started to bother him again and he had to go to USA for treatment.

The Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has said that he is extremely confident that the former Barcelona manager Guardiola will be a major success Bayern Munich.

He will be hoping to replicate the same success at the Allianz Arena as well, and Iniesta is confident that he will be able to do the same.

Barcelona have made a sensational start to the new season and they are currently unbeaten in the last 19 matches. The recent 3-1 win over Malaga helped them strengthen their position in the league even further.
