The remaining six games left of the mid-week scheduled Round 36 have been played tonight of the Spanish League - Liga - with plenty of excitement still at the top of the classification & drama at the bottom with teams facing the real danger of saying goodbye to the Spanish 1º Division.
CRISTIANO RONALDO was the force that pushed a mediocre REAL MADRID along with keeper Iker Casillas onto a 1-4 victory over REAL MALLORCA to remain a point behind FC Barcelona with two matches left in the season. In fact, Ronaldo scored a HAT-TRICK ( 26th, 57th min & 72 nd min) to take his personal Liga goal tally to 25 goals. The other goal was scored by HIGUAIN in the 82nd min.However do not let the scoreline fool you, the 1º half was a disaster for Real Madrid with Mallorca forward ADURIZ scoring in the 15th min & Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas stopping three possible goals. It was the determination of Cristiano Ronaldo who single-handedly took the whole team onto his shoulders which solved all the problems by himself with 3 superb goals. The Portuguese was the man of the match & absolutely impressive.
ATLETICO DE MADRID found some lost Liga form to win 3-1 VALLADOLID & put the latter looking into the abyss of 2º Division. The goals for Atletico came from JUANITO in the 43rd min, JURADO in the 66th min & DIEGO FORLAN who is having an excellent run with the teams third in the 73rd min. For Valladolid their only goal came thanks to SESMA in the 77th min.Complicated two rounds ahead for Valladolid!
SEVILLA FC "take off" Mallorca the Champions League 4ºth classification place with a good 1-5 whipping of RACING DE SANTANDER who also will have a complicated two remaining rounds. Sevilla FC forward NEGREDO scored twice ( 2nd & 88th min) along with KANOUTE with a penalty in the 21st min, NAVAS in the 46th & CAPEL in the 48th min. The only goal by Racing was by TCHITE who scored in the 66th min.
ATHLETIC DE BILBAO & MALAGA played a 1-1 draw with goals from TOQUERO (above) in the 4th min for Bilbao & DUDA in the 19th min for Malaga. Lots of opportunities for both throughtout the match with posts included.
REAL ZARAGOZA are firm relegation candidates & needed to win tonight at all costs. They managed to scrap a 1-0 victory over RCD ESPANYOL thanks to COLUNGA in the 78th min. They will need a miracle to stay in the 1º Division & tonight was a good start to look for it.
OSASUNA won a poor DEPORTIVO 3-1 with goals from CAMUÑAS in the 11th min, PANDIANI (above) in the 24th min & JUAN FRAN in the 32nd min. The only goal from Deportivo came from RIKI in the 15th min to cover-up a disasterous game which is part of a bad 2º round for Deportivo who are not able to achieve a victory from months back.
Two more Rounds left with the Spanish League title up for grabs & half a dozen teams facing relegation danger. Next Saturday ALL Round 37 games start at 21.00. Tweet
