Barcelona Take A Penalty The Normal Way, And Of Course Miss It
What some people who don’t pay close attention to the team may have missed regarding Barcelona’s trick penalty play this weekend is that, while primarily driven by a desire to do cool shit, it was also probably a reaction to the team’s general penalty woes this season.

My cool team of puppies turned out to be a team of Star and two total losers.
