Barcelona gets valuable win at Anfiel Road in 1st Leg Match.
(Liverpool, ENGLAND)- After drawing against Madrid in the league and seeing its title hopes almost desappear, it looked like Barcelona was finished. They were a boat that had been taking on water, and looked just about ready to capsize. The team needed a spark and Eto'o was just that. Playing against an inspired Liverpool (who recently eliminated Santos), with a low morale after not being able to win El Classico, and on the roughest, hardest and loudest field in Europe Barca was able to put on a top notch performance in the WECL Cup first leg. Controlling the pace of the game and covering all spaces when defending, Barcelona was able to get a much need win in times of crisis. It was one of those season-defining moments that can snap a team out of its hole and put them right back into the league title picture.
Eto'o: More than two goals.
Samuel Eto'o was inspirational, dangerous, unstoppable. The forward was all over the field and delivered as needed. Showing the good form that he's currently in, and silencing those who criticize his inaccurate shooting ability, Eto'o unleashed his fury and put it in the back of the net twice. Tevez scored the third to win 3-1 against an always difficult to defeat, Liverpool.
The win, is part a joy, part a relief and part an astonishment win for Barcelona at times when is most needed.
"The morale is very high now" said Sir Darwin, "We believe we can win the Cup if we keep playing like this"
