Barcelona Makes Strong Start to La Liga - Beats Sporting 3-0

Barcelona hosted Sporting Gijon at the Camp Nou on Monday, and came away with a 3-0 victory, with Bojan, Keita and Ibrahimovic netting headers.

It was a simple game for Barcelona who were without three key players in Messi, Iniesta and Toure. They were never stretched by Sporting.

This win means that Barcelona are at the top of the Liga table from day 1.

The bad news however is that Bojan and Maxwell have both picked up minor injuries. Bojan has been ruled out for 15-20 days while Maxwell will undergo a scan on Wednesday to see the extent of his knock.
