how long has Sid Lowe been writing for The Guardian, exactly?
Lowe, S. (2000). "Men on the verge of a nervous breakdown." The Guardian. Retrieved from http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2000/dec/04/europeanfootball.sport1 on Oct. 11, 2010.
Surprise, surprise - the departure of Dutruel heralded a significant improvement in Barcelona's fortunes. 3-1 down to a Catanha hat-trick when he left, Lorenzo Serra Ferrer's side threw caution to the wind in the second half and managed to bring the score level at 3-3, Rivaldo setting up both for Patrik Kluivert. Best of all for the culés, though, was the return from injury of inspirational captain Pep Guardiola. Meanwhile, teenage keeper José Reina was delighted to make his Barça debut, and told the press that his "dad'll be pretty pleased too."
I should be writing about contrasts and Pep Guardiola and football culture and the way that stupid World Cup pretty much made everything insane and how Vicente del Bosque has been the Man with the Moustache ever since forever but HOLY CARP IT'S TEENAGE PEPE REINA.
