No Xavi today

He’s out with a calf injury. Pique, Tello and Oier didn’t make the bench

We finally get some rest too

by Curtis2012 on Feb 14, 2012 10:41 PM CET reply actions  

they had lots of rest

as a matter of fact, too many had too much of rest they either didn’t play well or picked up an injury while “resting”
