of goals & the surprise: the defeat of Valencia CF at home,
thus letting go a golden chance to consolidate itself further
at the top of the ladder.
RACING travelled to "Mestalla" ( Valencia´s ground) &
went home with a 0- 2 victory over VALENCIA & the
3 points.
Although Valencia started well, the Zigic & Munitis partnership
once again gave fruit. Zigic headed down a cross into MUNITIS
path to score Racing 1º goal ( above both celebrating).
Valencia were out of tune in this match, with missed chances &
non -synchronisation. David Villa´s image below is the picture
of his team, desperation & unlucky.
In the 69th m ORIOL put the final nail in with Racing 2º goal,
as seen below celebrating with his teammates
Missed opportunity for Valencia who may regard this result
later on , great win for Racing who are playing well.
An important bottom of the ladder game between MALLORCA
& REAL BETIS both needed the 3 points , but it was the former
who took them with a 2-0 win over Betis. PEREYRA seen
below opened the scoring & ARANGO finished to put Betis in deep
troubles
All the opposite in the RECREATIVO - FC BARCELONA game
where Barça "steamed rolled" one of the revelation sides this
season.
SAMUEL ETO´O talked with his feet & with goals, instead of with
his mouth & his team appreciated the gesture.
He got Barça onto the score sheet with a beautiful chipped
shot, a real eye catcher.
They were on a roll & in the 38m ZAMBROTTA scored, to have
ETO´O score his 2º four minutes latter.
Towards the end, the "kid" in form, LEO MESSI scored to give
his team a very comfortable win & the 3 points that will put
pressure on Seville tomorrow.
The last game ATHLETICO DE BILBAO - OSASUNA
went the latter´s way with a 0-3 scoreline putting At.Bilbao
under more pressure as it looks down the barrel of the 2º
Division.
RESULTS & SCORERS:
Valencia CF 0 - Racing 2 ( Munitis; Oriol)
Mallorca 2 ( Pereyra; Arango) - Real Betis 0
Recreativo 0 - Fc Barcelona 4 (Eto´o 2; Zambrotta; Messi)
At.Bilbao 0 - Osasuna 3 (Muñoz;D.Lopez; Izquierdo) Tweet

Last night´s victory, in Huelva, can be as decisive (for this year´s title) as last year´s win in Sevilla. I have the feeling it´s going to be more than 3 points. It´s a moral boost. A real "puñetazo en la mesa". They are back and they are proud!
Totally agree with here Adrian. Barça is now totally focused & eto´o ( if his mouth allows) his getting back in form, plus Messi is counter-balancing Ronaldinho´s "fall in form".
Lots of pressure on Seville today, lets see how they react
Cheers
Seville kept the calm and won the important point. They will off course still drop points this season, I am thinking of Valencia, R. Madrid and Deportivo. Maybe they could win or have a draw in Mallorca and Osasuna. The good thing is, if Barca ca keep this form, and also not that they are out of Europe, they can manage the rest of the season with at least a point in every game. That means winning the title. But I fear they are likely to loss 2 more matches this season ( I am thinking of Zaragoza and A. Madrid). I mean with deco now out. Who knows what will happen to the other players this season. Rijkaard in his years in Barca has not had this much injuries in one season before.
Barca already has the big guns out of there way. I believe they will have at least 26 points in the remaining 11 matches. Are you sure Seville can have more?
What do you think?
