		<description><![CDATA[The issue of top European clubs snapping up South American talent before it&#8217;s fully cooked is not a new one, but seems to have reached a new nadir this season with Barcelona striker Keirrison.
Snapped up in July from Palmeiras for 14 million euros, he was promptly farmed out to Benfica on loan by the Catalan [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To be fair any of Barcelona&#8217;s four goals against Racing on Tuesday night could have made the grade but Messi&#8217;s second effort wins the golden letter opener this week.
