Barcelona won La Liga! That means they won “the league!” Here’s them, including that one short guy you know, Lionel Messi, drinking a few too many (read: just the right amount!) of alcohols, on a bus. Unquestionably, Outkast is the greatest Spanish band of the 21st century.

More than a pass a minute, and none given away. Not bad, we’d say.

Leo Messi notched his 85th and 86th goals of the calendar year Sunday in Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over Real Betis, tying and breaking Gerd Muller’s 85-goal single-year record set back in 1972. Here are highlights of that, plus the 84 goals that came before them. Get ready for a 10 minutes well spent.

Joan Laporta served as president of FC Barcelona from 2003-2010, during which time the club saw some of its greatest success (thanks in no small part to this guy). And now, dissatisfied with Barca’s direction, he might be interested in reclaiming that post. While Laporta has some vocal support in his corner, though, it might not be the kind that will actually help him to one day lead Barcelona again – because that support is from a porn star. See it above.

This is Barcelona’s version of a Blake Griffin dunk compilation. Messi has scored a record-setting 72 goals so far this season for the club, and the season’s not even over: he has one more La Liga match, plus the Copa del Rey final. 75 is well within reach. [101 Great Goals, via Richard Deitsch]

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between the Premier League’s Chelsea and La Liga’s Barcelona, this awesome goal was the difference in a 1-0 win for the underdog Blues. Didier Drogba put it away, but he was the recipient of some beautiful passing. Video after the jump.

Today Lionel Messi scored his 253rd goal for FC Barcelona, which makes him number one on the team’s all-time scoring list. And he scored said goal the way he has scored so many others: cool, calm, collected and downright nasty, with a beautiful chip over the goalkeepers head. Check out history after the jump.

A brawl broke out at the end of the Supercopa match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and RM manager José Mourinho showed his appreciation for the film Say Anything.. by eye-gouging Barcelona assistant Tito Vilanova.
