Carlos Puyol poked home the first just before the half-hour and Jeffren Suarez added the second two minutes after the break. Pazzini pulled one back for the Viola but Bojan Krkic bagged the third minutes later.

La squadra di Prandelli, ancora un po’ indietro nella preparazione, sconfitta 3-1 da un grande Barcellona al Memorial Franchi. Di Puyol, Jeffren e Bojan le reti dei catalani, Pazzini per i toscani. Ottima prova di Messi.

After a goalless first half (highlights here), Stuttgart carved Arsenal open straight through the middle as Turkish legend Basturk turned and struck low and hard for the opener. Arsenal weren’t behind for long, Bendtner worked his way in from the right hand side, played a lovely pass forward to Carlos Vela, and the young Mexican controlled the ball on his thigh before firing high in the net. Moments later it was Vela who was the provider, with Bendtner staying strong to take the ball in the box and fire past Jens Lehmann. The Gunners turnaround was completed with a fine third created by Gael Clichy, who bustled down the left hand side before crossing to Jack Wilshere who controlled and hit a low hard shot inside the near post.
