9 games out of the 10 scheduled & drama throughout. There is
an authentic battle for the last Champions position ( 4th table
place) which is being currently held tonight by Atletico de Madrid
with a two point advantage over Villareal, plus one of these teams
will go down to 2º Division along with Recreativo de Huelva
& Numancia next week : Valladolid, Osasuna, Sporting de Gijon,
Real Betis or Getafe.
ATLETICO DE MADRID pulled a magic last 15 minutes to win
ATHLETIC DE BILBAO 1-4 with a HAT TRICK from DIEGO FORLAN
who takes his tally to 31 goals this season to make him the Spanish
League current highest goal scorer & “The European Golden Boot”,
ahead of FC Barcelona striker Samuel Eto´o who is 2 goals behind.
Atletico got ahead via RAUL GARCIA in the 58th min, to see their
Champions aspirations drop as Bilbao equalized in the 70th min via
ETXEITA. However, soon began the DIEGO FORLAN show with
goals in the 72th min, 77th min & 86th min (penalty). Atletico just
needs to draw or win next week (or Villareal lose) to secure the
last Champions League place.

FC BARCELONA saved most of its main players with next Wednesdays
European Cup Final in mind. Barça gave its youngsters & subs a run &
with OSASUNA playing for its 1º Division life managed to win 0-1
with a 26th min header by PANDIANI. Things heated up late with
Red Cards to young debut player Muniesa & Coach Guardiola for
complaining.
After the game the whole Barça squad celebrated with their home
fans the Liga & Spanish Cup victories.
VILLAREAL kept its Champions League aspirations alive after
defeating VALENCIA CF 3-1 & sending the later to UEFA next season.
The goals came fast for Villareal via LLORENTE in the 14th & 30th
min with CANI adding the 3ºrd in the 67th min. For Valencia DAVID
VILLA managed to score his team’s only goal in the 40th min &
Valencia will be really disappointed with this result.
SEVILLA FC sealed mathematically late in their game their 3ºrd &
Champions League position with a 1-0 win over DEPORTIVO
thanks to a last minute goal by youngster PERROTI.
REAL SPORTING DE GIJON managed a vital win 1-2 over VALLADOLID
to keep its chances alive & attempt to avoid relegation next week.
Sporting got ahead via CAMACHO in the 43rd min to see SESMA
equalize later in the 69th min. But Sporting was desperate & managed
the victory after BILIC headed a free kick in the 79th min.
GETAFE won by the slimmest margen 1-0 NUMANCIA to stay alive
until next week & send the later to 2º Division. The winner came in
the 60th min thanks to SOLDADO. Later Getafe player CONTRA
missed a penalty when he hit the post.
RECREATIVO DE HUELVA joins Numancia in 2º Division next year
after losing 0-1 to RACING DE SANTANDER with its goal from ZIGIC
in the 77th min. Racing now have their 1º Division participation
next season guaranteed.
ESPANYOL has had an amazing last few weeks & tonight was no
different as they secured their participation next season in the
1º Division after convincingly defeating away ALMERIA 0-3. Goals
came from IVAN ALONSO in the 25th & 72nd min with CORO
scoring the third in the 89th.
MALAGA drew thanks to ALBERT LUQUE in 82nd min to complicate
REAL BETIS who managed to get ahead via EDU in the 42nd min. Now
Betis play for its 1º Division future next week against Valladolid. Final
Result 1-1
Tomorrow the last match of Round 37 will be in play between Real
Madrid & Mallorca, a match that has not a lot of drama except the
goodbye of Fabio Cannavaro in front of his home crowd & "possibly"
other team-mates.
