La Liga Review: Real Betis 2, FC Barcelona 2, Or, That's All, Folks!
My deepest apologies for the delay, but we had technical problems with the blog and couldn't post until today... sorry!
Last Liga match of the season, and there wasn't much to recommend it apart from, you know, it being Pep's last match with Barça in La Liga: Betis had no ambitions that would spur them to get a win at all costs, and neither did Barça. It could almost have been a friendly.

Pep chose VV, Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Adriano, Busquets, Xavi, Keita, Pedro, Messi and Afellay for his starting XI, leaving Oier, Montoya, Cuenca, Tello, Iniesta, Cesc and Bartra on the bench and Thiago on the stands. Though not exactly the strongest Barça starting XI in existence, it was strong enough to give us a good idea of what we can expect at the Copa del Rey final, while still leaving space for novelties like Afellay, given his first Liga start of the season.

Real Betis vs FC Barcelona, AKA Pep’s last Liga match (but not THE last match), AKA the annual “B team plays a Liga match”, AKA the match that't not very important in terms of results.
On another note, does anyone know who's injured and who isn't? I’m having trouble remembering.
(Actually I've typed it all out here for you to try and make sense of, but it's been a very injury-prone few days...)

…and that was Pep’s last match at the Camp Nou.
What a way to go out, huh? Fans at every corner of the stadium, holding up signs with goodbye messages, 4 goals from Messi, a team hug to celebrate the 4th goal and a beautiful send off from the players and coaching team once the match ended.
