On this week's podcast we discuss the main stories that emerged from the international break. Though Messi's injury was at first thought to be a possible narrative to let him rest, his midweek interview about the injury has made it a very real concern for the final stretch of the season. Though Espanyol kept Barca from scoring in the first half, the second half saw Messi put two more past Diego Lopez. As Villareal and Atletico are up next, we hope for some rested players before next week's Champions League clash with Manchester United.
