Barcelona’s away shirt for the 2010-11 season has undergone a drastic redesign according to a photograph leaked on the Internet.
While it’s still designed and manufactured by Nike, everything else has changed including the color. Instead of yellow, it’s aqua in color.
The front of the shirt features a horizontal band across the chest which is a nice touch and features the traditional home colors of Barcelona as well as the Nike logo and Barcelona team crest.

The new Barcelona home shirt looks very similar to the current design. The biggest difference is the rounded collar. The other significant difference is that the stripes are wider than in previous years.
Of course, the shirt still features the famous (and traditional) colors of the blaugrana.

A dispiriting final matchday left Mallorca forty seconds away from qualifying for the Champions League. Sevilla manager Antonio Álvarez took a huge gamble late in that match by sending Sevilla youth product Rios Lozano Rodri into the match instead of Luís Fabiano, and Rodri broke the hearts of Los Barralets with an acrobatic goal in the fourth and final minute of stoppage time to defeat Almería 2–3 and finish fourth in La Liga, the final Champions League place. To watch the drama unfold on the jumbo screen at the ONO Estadi was already hard enough, but the news that the club will enter administration will likely wreck an exciting squad that became one of the pleasant surprises in La Liga this season.
The rumors, for once, came to fruition, as FC Barcelona will pay a transfer fee of €40 million to Valencia for Spanish international striker David Villa. This tango (or the sardana for a more local, Catalunyan flair) danced by the two clubs since the previous offseason will finally end as outgoing Barça president Joan Laporta landed the player he coveted for two years.
Surely, Barcelona signed Villa to be a starting forward, and his most effective position in that front line would be as the center forward of the three-pronged attack. With Lionel Messi and Pedro Rodríguez on either side of Villa, the Barcelona attacking machine will continue to operate as efficiently and dangerously as ever.
Once Lionel Messi scored his club record-tying 34th goal of the season in the 76th minute to increase the lead to 4–0, the 98,772 Culés at the Camp Nou, save for a few hundred Real Valladolid die-hards, began to chant the song that every team wants to hear at the end of the season, “Campeones, campeones, ¡Olé, olé, olé!” For the final fifteen minutes, the procession commenced on the pitch.
Bojan Krkic came out for Thierry Henry, likely Henry’s final appearance for Barcelona because of his increasingly diminished role with Pedro Rodríguez and Bojan ahead of him in the pecking order.
Dani Alves departed in the 80th minute for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a player who epitomizes the cliché that there are two halves of a season. Despite Ibrahimovic’s struggles in the last three months, the supporters gave Ibrahimovic a nice round of applause.
The heartiest plaudits, however, rained down on Pedro when Pep Guardiola took him out in the 86th minute for Andrés Iniesta. An infrequent contributor last season, Pedro rose to the occasion nearly every time Guardiola called his name this season, and after fifty-one appearances and twenty-three goals in all competitions, Pedro made himself a fixture as one of the starting three forwards for FC Barcelona.
Referee Miguel Ángel Pérez Lasa whistled for fulltime at the ninety-minute mark, and Barcelona won its fourth La Liga crown in six years and their twentieth overall.
The Catalan giants have succeeded in defending their league title and will end the season on a high note despite losing in the Champions League semi-final to Inter and being eliminated from the Copa del Rey earlier in the season.
One of the main catalysts behind the successful defending of la Liga title has been the play of midfield schemer Xavi Hernandez yet the hero in the eyes of the fans is undoubtedly Lionel Messi who managed to score a double in the 4–0 demolition of Valladolid. Barca ended the season three points clear of rival Real Madrid who failed to beat Malaga managing only a 1–1 draw.
The Catalans managed to win 31 out of 38 league games and have suffered a single defeat in la Liga throughout the current campaign. Messi finished the season with stunning numbers having scored 34 goals in 35 la Liga appearances and assisting on 13 other goals. In total the Argentina star managed to score 47 times and dished out 14 assists in 53 matches in all competitions. The 47 goals this season are an improvement on last campaign’s total of 38 strikes which is a remarkable achievement for the Argentina wizard.
No doubt Barca deserved to be crowned la Liga champions after successfully defending their title and beating their main competitors Real Madrid twice in the league. Despite falling short in Europe this will remain a successful season in Barca’s history having fended off Real’s serious threat to the league title.
