Barcelona puzzled by Celta defeat

Barcelona were on the receiving end of a shock 1-0 defeat to Celta Vigo on Saturday night.

Luis Suarez - on his competitive Camp Nou debut - Neymar and Lionel Messi all failed to fire as a single goal from Jaoquin Larrivey proved enough to seal an unlikely three points for the underdogs.

Messi and Neymar hit the crossbar twice each on a puzzling night for Barca fans.

Hero O'Shea the toast of world's elite


In a week of international football which boasted drama, goals and even a brawl, John O’Shea’s stoppage-time leveller against Germany in his 100th appearance for the Republic of Ireland was a fitting finale.

The Sunderland centre-back, having defended resolutely for much of the encounter in Gelsenkirchen, expertly guided the ball beyond Manuel Neuer to salvage a 1-1 draw and heap more misery on the World Cup winners.

O’Shea was not the only player to enjoy a stellar Tuesday, with Cristiano Ronaldo bagging a last-minute winner against Denmark, Lionel Messi striking twice in Hong Kong and Neymar claiming four (yes, four) goals against Japan.
Ronaldo also celebrated reaching a 100 million fans on facebook.
