SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA - ROUND 37 SATURDAY GAMES. REAL MADRID IN THE BOX SEAT

If you have a heart condition, this was not a good Round for
your health. The continuing changing results throughtout the
90 mins was causing panic for fans at the top & bottom of the
table.
FC BARCELONA had the League on a platter, until ESPANYOL
Captain TAMUDO equalized in the last 8 mins & at another
ground REAL MADRID was literally saved by VAN NISTELROOY
who scored to equalize as well. Meanwhile, while both Barça &
Real were back on equal points , SEVILLE fumbled its chance
to reach them both to equalize on points, to draw against Mallorca
& practically shut their title door.

In the middle, ATLETICO DE MADRID losses to a desperate
CELTA DE VIGO who is fighting relegation & may miss its
Uefa Cup place, as VILLAREAL beat BILBAO to overtake Atletico.
Finally, OSASUNA points BETIS to the 2º Division abyss with a
0-5 victory.

It all goes down to the wire next week, in the last Round, but Real
Madrid have half a foot on the title stand & Celta, Bilbao & Betis fight
to save themselves from the 2º Division "hell".
























REAL MADRID cameback from death with the equalizing
goal from VAN NISTELROOY. The Dutchmen scored Real´s
2 goals & has virtually in his bag the "Pichichi" title ( Spanish
League Top goal scorer).
ZARAGOZA managed to get in front twice with 2 goals from
DIEGO MILITO, but the appearance of GUTI in the 2 half with a
superb pass, set up the equalizer - 2-2- the final score. Real Madrid
stay on top & now only have to win at home next week against
Mallorca to seal the league title.
























FC BARCELONA was at home & may have handed the league
to arch rival Real. After leading 2-1 with 7 mins left, TAMUDO
equalized for ESPANYOL. Real was drawing at Zaragoza & a
Barça win would have put them 2 points ahead, but they snuffed
it.
MESSI was outstanding ( yes, he touched the ball & cheated) scoring
Barça´s 2 goals , same as Tamudo. Barcelona plays Ginmastic next
week & are likely to win, but so are Real & that will give the latter the
title. Headline title : Tamudo gives Real Madrid half a title - final score 2-2

















LEVANTE secured their stay in "La Liga" next season with a stylish
4-2 victory over VALENCIA CF. Levante player SALVA ( above) got
on the scoring sheet with his teammates RIGA who scored twice &
COURTOIS.

ATLETICO DE MADRID suicided lossing to CELTA DE VIGO
2-3 at home. The great return of MAXI RODRIGUEZ with 2
goals was shadowed by the fact that with VILLAREAL winning
3-1 against AT.BILBAO, they knocked out ATLETICO from
the remaining Uefa Cup place.
BAIANO ( above) scored twice & helped his team grab 3 vital

points to allow his team to fight next week in a do or die match

to avoid relegation.
Calamity for Atletico, no European competition participation
next year is an authentic DISASTER.

OSASUNA won 0-5 REAL BETIS & will sweat next week
as they are candidates for 2º Division. It will be a must win

game for them in the last round
