| Barcelona sealed top spot in Group C of the Champions league
courtesy of a night of high farce among the Sporting Lisbon defence.
Barcelona were 3-0 up within 50 minutes courtesy of goals from
Thierry Henry, Gerard Pique and Lionel Messi, before Sporting pulled
two back in two minutes through Miguel Veloso and Liedson.
Barca responded immediately with a Marco Caneira own goal and once
Rui Patricio was sent off for the foul that led to Bojan Krkic's
penalty, the Sporting defence had played their part in all five
of Barca's goals. |
