Liga still undecided!

Surprinsingly enough, today's results did not alter the standings at all. All three teams that have a chance at the title tied today.
Real Madrid played at Zaragoza with an end result of 2-2. The opener from Diego Melito in the 31minute of game, then the equalizer from Van Nistelrooy in the 56minute. Then again from Melito in the 63minute to put them ahead 2-1. As soon as they thought the match was over, Van Nistelrooy managed to score in the 88minute saving Real and pulling them through without a lost.
Barcelona played a very similar match against Espanyol, former runner up of the UEFA Cup. Tamudo had the opener for Espanyol, but the magestic Messi recovered the match right before half time. Not long after the commence of the half Messi managed another goal that placed Barca a step closer to winning the title. But by some miracle, in the 89minute that chance was revoked by Tamudo once again with his very late goal.
Not to be disregarded, Sevilla, who also had a chance at La Liga title, played a poor match against Mallorca who proved to have played a much better game, although the result remained at 0-0 throuhout the game. Notably, the player of the match was Jonas, who drove Sevilla's defense mad but could not finish it off with a goal.
So as of now, the standings remain the same as two weeks back, Real Madrid and Barcelona tied with points but Real Madrid on top, and Sevilla right under them.
I will keep you posted as to any news.
Thank you for reading.
