Xavi: I would be delighted to score a hat-trick against Real Madrid

  Barcelona midfielder Xavi has stated that netting a hat-trick in Sunday's Primera Division match at home against arch-rivals Real Madrid would be a dream come true.

The 32-year-old has won numerous trophies both at club and international level, but still awaits his first hat-trick, and he sees the Clasico as the perfect opportunity for yet another milestone.

"Is there something I have left to do? Scoring a hat-trick... I would be delighted to score one against Madrid," Xavi smiled at a press conference.

"We're not really thinking about whether a win would worsen the problems in Madrid's squad. We are focussed on winning, which would be good for our morale."

The influential playmaker then went on to discuss the situation of injured players such as Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol and Eric Abidal, who is continuing his recovery from a liver transplant earlier this year.

"At this moment, there's a 50 per cent chance that Pique will play against Madrid.

"Puyol's injury is a real shame. You can't ask a player to hold back. He's an example on and off the pitch and always gives his all. 


"Abidal? He is very motivated to get back."

Barcelona are currently in talk with Xavi's agent over a new deal, and the Spain international believes that an agreement is only a matter of time.

"I'm at the best club in the world, I'd like to retire here. My agent talks with the club about a renewal, there won't be any problem."

Sunday's Clasico at Camp Nou is scheduled to kick off at 19:50CET.

For the last five years (at least), Ross has been flooding the internet with pop-up ad after pop-up ad, all claiming that your computer — yes, yours specifically — is infected with viruses . That's illegal, and it turns out the law has finally caught up to her: The Federal Trade Commission has just fined Ross a staggering $163 million dollars for her crimes. The infamous fake computer scan ads encourage you to download "free" anti-virus software under the names Winfixer, DriveCleaner, FreeRepair, WinAntivirus, WinAntispyware, or System Doctor. Once you're hooked by the fraudulent warning, the advertisements redirect you to a page trying to sell you anti-virus software for $40 to $60 a pop. According to the government, "more than a million" were victims of Ross's scam. And g...

Goal from Stephen El Sharaawy In the first half placed Milan in the driving seat and would have sealed the game if not for wasteful chances from Striker Mario Balotelli. But inter had to ensure they had a share in the game as Schelotto headed in the equalizer to end the game in a 1-1 draw. This was the first time the Derby ended in a draw since 2004.
