Four protagonists of windy win
Edgar Fornós
Saturday's game against Mallorca was marked by the presence of gale force winds, which blew all through the game and certainly made for an extra difficulty for the players.
It was the biggest crowd of the season so far and the 77,000 supporters certainly knew that autumn was upon us as the wind and cold descended on the Nou Camp. For Xavi, Henry, Keita and Pedro, the 4-2 win was important for different reasons.
Henry back on target
Henry was back doing what he does best – scoring, the third goal was his first in the league this season on his comeback from a 9 game layoff.
Xavi equals Rexach
Xavi Hernández continues to make history at the club he's spent all his
career. Saturday's game was his 328th League match, which means he draws level with Carles Rexach.
Pedro coming of age
Right from the start of this season, Pedro has been showing that this was going to be the campaign in which he really came of age after spending last year between the reserves and the first team. His two goals against Mallorca take him to eight for the season – the same as Ibrahimovic.
Keita voted Player of the Month
Seidou Keita was given
Gol TV's player of the month award after a fantastic October in which he scored four times.
First penalty in eight months
The Nou Camp fans had almost forgotten what it was like, but finally, Barca were awarded a penalty
– the first since March 26th – which Messi coolly put away.
