Source: Sp Football Sports Blog /
The Spanish Football-Soccer-League had schedule 5 games tonight including the big clash, "El Clasico", between Real Madrid & FC Barcelona. Here is a summary of results & scorers.

REAL MADRID 0 FC BARCELONA 2 is the final result of "El Clasico" which could have been more in the end had Casillas not made two increidible saves. This result puts Barça back on top of the Spanish League Classification table with a 3 point advantage gap & this may be enough to have sealed Barça the Spanish Championship.

A relative disappointing performance from the home team that had Higuain "Missing In Action" , Ronaldo trying but not succeeding at all tonight, Marcelo lost, Arbeloa out of position & the whole team physically "wasted" after an intense effort the first 20 minutes that successfully halted Barcelona & gave rise to hope. A strategy that was working well until the 33rd min when MESSI scored Barça´s first goal in their first & only arrival at goal of the match at that point. Real Madrid was better overall in the first half but Messi again managed to turn things around with a single play that confirms he is currently without doubt the "Best Player in the World". Watch the VIDEO of the Messi goal:





The goal brought down the spirits of the Real Madrid after coming from a "stupid" free-kick "mix up" that surprised the whole Madrid defence. Having said this, to Real Madrid´s credit, they were without luck in their opportunities to which some observers may reply that Real simply are just ineffective up front. A point that may be due to the fact that Real Madrid play without wingers & keep on insisting in going through the middle where they just kept running into the Barça defence lead tonight by a brilliant Pique & Puyol.

The second half saw a determined Real Madrid come out & do some very good things with Guti on for Marcelo, & their game seemed to flow. But again, plenty of shots at the goal but not effective as explained & mentioned already above. Then the "blow" once again for Madrid came in the 55th min when Arbeloa was beaten by young PEDRO who scored the second Barcelona goal. Watch the VIDEO of the goal below:





From here Madrid was stumbling & Casillas kept out two Messi attempts that could have converted the night into a real nightmare. Real Madrid attempted to react with Raul & Benzema coming on, but it was too late, the damage had been done by a smarter, more patient & in the end, better FC Barcelona.

This will have effects at the end of the season, as Real Madrid has lost twice against Barça this season, will possibly also miss out on the League title & thus make the "grand 2009-2010" project a failure. A failure in signings perhaps & certainly a mistake of choice with Coach Manuel Pellegrini who may well be experiencing his last games as it is rumoured that Real Madrid may ask the man to leave at the end of the season.

Sad night for Real, as they build themselves up all week but simply could not deliver & were not up to the occasion tonight as they were second class to Barça.

MALAGA lost to SEVILLA FC 1-2 with the latter regaining the "right path" after a "rocky" last 2 weeks. Malaga scored first in the 16th min via CAICEDO, but Sevilla regained control & managed to score two goals in the latter part via COLA in the 66th & LOLO 85th min.

There is no stopping VILLAREAL lately as they won 1-0 REAL SPORTING DE GIJON. The goal came early in the 15th min via a header from GODIN which was enough; 3 points thank you very much!

The two are bottom placed teams - TENERIFE VALLADOLID - who are in deep trouble with relegation clear for both who gave us only a 0-0 draw. No surprises.

Finally, the last placed team XEREZ lost 0-1 to GETAFE & this loss may be too much for them as they have virtually lost all chances of getting out of the 2 º Division "black hole".
