The Catalans began the season in style by winning the UEFA Super Cup on Friday albeit by a narrow margin. They beat Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk by a 1-0 margin thanks to an extra-time goal scored by Pedro Rodriguez in the 115th minute.

All focus was on new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovich, but the Swede failed to impress and was overshadowed by Lionel Messi for most of the game. The UEFA Club footballer of the year was in fine form throughout the game and created the only goal as well.

Barca coach Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that it will be difficult for his team to create the magic of last year when they won the treble including the La Liga, the Spanish Cup as well as the Champions League. He also defended Ibrahimovich saying it will take time for him to adjust from the Serie A to the La Liga.

The former Inter Milan striker arrived at the Nou Camp for a fee of 40 million Euros plus Samuel Eto'o. Meanwhile Barca have confirmed that they are looking to sign Shakhtar Donetsk defender Dmytro Chygrynskiy.

Sporting Gijon on the other hand will be looking for survival this season and will hope they do enough to stay put in the La Liga.
