VALDES HAILS LIONEL MESSI

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that superstar Lionel Messi is capable of defining a new era in world football.

Lionel Messi is widely regarded to be the best player in the world right now, while many are also of the opinion that he is comparable with the likes of Diego Maradona and Pele.

VALDES DEDICATES WIN TO ABIDAL

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that he is dedicating his team’s victory over Sevilla in the recent Spanish league encounter to fellow teammate Eric Abidal.

Eric Abidal has been diagnosed with a major problem in his liver, which may subject him to a liver transplant. This shocking news comes after just a year when Eric Abidal underwent heart surgery in order to correct a problem. Barcelona won the match against Sevilla 2-0 to keep the pressure on the leaders Real Madrid, but Victor Valdes was more focused on ensuring that Eric Abidal came back fit and ready.
