SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA - ROUND 33/ 2008 GAMES RESULTS

SFS was out of town this weekend in a "non-digital zone" & was
glued to the radio listening to all of the Round 33 games,
were the news is that Real Madrid could claim the title next week,
Atletico de Madrid still hold onto the 4ºth Champions spot &
Zaragoza climb out of the relegation zone. Here is all the results,
scorers, images & a couple of videos.
























REAL MADRID took a giant leap today after defeating RACING
0-2 & position themselves with the possiblity of proclaiming the
Spanish Championship if they win next Sunday. They also did Atletico
de Madrid a huge favour by keeping Racing in 5ºth place, 1ºpoint
behind them, in the battle for the coverted 4ºth Champions League
spot.

Real Madrid were solid today & concentrated with the task, in a
ground
that traditionally is not their favourite. Mighty Captain RAUL
scored first in the 12 min to get them rolling, however Racing are a
tough unit & were not knocked down until the very last moment when
HIGUAIN
scored Real Madrid´s second in the 94th min.

Real now has a 10 point advantage over 2ºnd placed Villareal &
11ºpoint advantage over 3ºrd placed Barcelona.


















Angry scenes at Camp Barça after FC BARCELONA drew 0-0
against ESPANYOL as they again allowed Real Madrid to open
the gap & they lose 2ºplace to Villareal. They are now concentrating
on their important Champions League semis clash against
Manchester Utd this Wednesday, as the Spanish League title is
virtually beyond their reach.



Above is the Video highlight of the ATLETICO DE MADRID 1 - REAL
BETIS 3 game. Atletico have huge problems in defence, they were rolled
by Betis who virtually secures their stay in the 1ºdivision. Atletico apart
from playing badly, are the luckiest team in the world, as everytime they
lose & look like falling off the 4ºth Champions position, the following
teams after that spot ( Racing, Sevilla...) also lose.

















VILLAREAL
claims 2ºplace tonight after winning 2-0 VALLADOLID.
Turkish star NIHAT scored first in the 15th min(as seen above) &
CAZORLA sentenced in the 46th min.


















MURCIA
lost 1-4 to MALLORCA thanks to a HAT TRICK by
DANI GUIZA ( above) who scored in the 10th, 48th & 88th
min. Team mate ARANGO also scored in the 18th min to add
to the scoring feast. Real Murcia grabbed the consolation goal in
the
91st min thanks to BAIANO.



The above Video shows how SEVILLA FC lost 1-4 to in form ALMERIA
on Saturday. Almeria is a solid team that now sees itself positioned to
fight for Uefa Cup ladder positions & even attempt the 4ºth Champions
League position as well. Remember they were in 2º division last season
& are turning in a revelation team season.

The scorers were: Alves (o.g)23rdmin, Negredo 47th & 66th min, Ortiz
62thmin & Kanoute 73rd min:

It could have been 1-5 but Negredo missed a penalty; a whitewash
& total
win over Sevilla

















REAL ZARAGOZA jump up a place & escape temporarily from the
relegation zone thanks to its 3-0 win over RECREATIVO, & exchange
positions & put the latter in the danger zone.

S.GARCIA (above) scored in the 2ºnd min with OLIVEIRA scoring the
other 2º goals in the 20th & 78th min.

Important 3 points for Zaragoza!
























DEPORTIVO has doing a spectacular 2º half of the season, so much
so, that if one takes the 2º half points accumulated they would be 1ºst
on the table. Today they continued their grand form by defeating
OSASUNA 0-1.

SERGIO
scored the only goal for Deportivo in the 64th min.
























Last placed LEVANTE won 3-1 a mentally affected GETAFE,
who lost the Spanish Cup mid week to Valencia. The scorers
for Levante were JUANMA (40 th min), BERSON (43 min) &
LEON (53rd min). For Getafe DE LA RED managed to score
in the 59th min.

Admirable effort from Levante who are going through tough
economic times, not being able to pay their players, who showed
true professionalism today.










The news here is the thrashing received by newly crowned Spanish
Cup winners VALENCIA CF 5-1 at ATHLETIC DE BILBAO. This
announces the end of Valencia coach ROLAND KOEMAN as the
team can no longer resist the bad results & pressure from the fans.
A real nightmare season for Valencia!
At.Bilboa pulled in a grand game with LLORENTE scoring twice,
with goals from team mates IRAOLA & ADURIZ. The other goal
for Bilbao was an own goal by Valencia defender ALBIOL.

Poor Valancia. I thought with the cup victry they wil bounce back. I think major changes are must occor at every level at Vakencia. One of the most sucsessful clubs in spain in crisis. I hope Baraca wil not follow the same root and fix their problems.

Strange, indeed the Valencia story this season. Lets hope they don´t fall to 2º division. They are only 2 points away.

Thanks for the comments Woodenheart
Cheers
