Bleacher report admit, in their naivete, Bleacher report felt scorn; Abidal (They had thought), what has he done to deserve plaudits, he wasn’t even on the pitch for god’s sake. When they read the match reports of the game, however, Bleacher report felt flat.
“Barcelona hoisted Eric Abidal into the air,” it said, “after his successful battle over cancer.”
