The towering defender feels he was "lucky" with his winning goal and acknowledged the challenge posed by APOEL on Tuesday

Gerard Pique has admitted that he was lucky to score in Barcelona 's 1-0 Champions League win over APOEL, claiming Lionel Messi did all the hard work for his winner.
The Spain international found the net after 28 minutes of play to help the Catalans to a hard-fought victory in their Group F opener after fine work from the Argentina captain.
"I was lucky to score – I don't normally – but I had a great opportunity and it turned out to be the winning goal," Pique told reporters.
"Lionel Messi delivered a really good ball for me and I had only to put it in the net.
"So I'm happy for the win, for the performance and for the three points because starting with a victory is always important and we can now focus on the next Liga game."

New FC Barcelona third strip features two shades of yellow

 

 

Nike and FC Barcelona have revealed the new third kit for the 2014/15 season, which consists of the two shades of yellow that were used in the famous 2005 second kit. The shirt, shorts and socks all feature a strong, bright yellow on the front and a darker shade of the same yellow on the back. The two shades are divided by a blue line, and the same blue is used for the trim in honour of one of the two traditional colours of the FC Barcelona first strip.
These stripes lead from the neck, along the shoulders, and down the sides of the shirt, shorts and socks. When the players move, the line moves to accentuate the outline of their bodies, creating the sensation of speed. The new shirt, which can now be reserved at nike.com/fcb will go on sale on September 25. Shortly after, the first team will be wearing it for the first time in an official match, the Champions League fixture away to Paris Saint Germain on September 30.
