Liga still undecided!

2007-06-09T20:26:00.000-04:00

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 But by some miracle, in the 89minute that chance was revoked by Tamudo once again with his very late goal.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.

As Real Madrid get ready for a crucial loss from the veteran defender Roberto Carlos, they look at the Brazilian striker, Kaka, who currently plays for AC Milan. Kaka is argueably one of the top soccer players of the world, and his recent performance proves it. With fellow Brazilians already playing for Real Madrid such as Robinho, Kaka would be more than welcomed into the team of whites.

The Weekend Ahead

2007-06-06T07:51:00.000-04:00

As well all know, La Liga is at coming to an end. And as of now, Real Madrid is ahead of Barcelona but with a tied amount of points. So it is very close, but there are still 2 games left in La Liga which will determine who will get the tittle. This Saturday Real Madrid will play at Zaragoza, which will not be an easy match for them. But if the players keep up their level of play and enthusiasm, they will be sure to win this very important and deciding match.
On the other hand, Barcelona are matched up against Espanyol, a team who have been recently doing extremely well. And lucky for them, Barca is on a downhill which is furthered inclined by the suspension of Ronaldinho for receiving a yellow card the past match. I believe that Ronaldinho is an outstanding player, but that he has been having a rough time lately and seems very frustrated.
I'll keep you all posted after the match scores.
