The Spanish League - La Liga - concludes with Round 32 tonight with the last two scheduled games giving the following results & scorers.
REAL MADRID travelled to ALMERIA with the need to recompose themselves from the FC Barcelona defeat & assure the win if they were to keep alive the hope of having a chance of still winning the Spanish League Title. With this added on, & self found, pressure on their shoulders they managed to shrug off an annoying Almeria with a 1-2 victory & keep the points gap in the classification table at 3 with their maximum rival Barça.
Almeria started well scoring first via CRUSAT in the 14th min, but CRISTIANO RONALDO seems on a "personal" mission & took the responsability onto his own shoulders to equalize in a fabulous fashion with a great goal in the 27th min. A goal that equals him with "team-mate" Higuain as the Clubs maximum goalscorer this season, if you take the European goals into account along with "La Liga" targets. Watch both goals on the below VIDEO - dont miss Ronaldo´s effort:
From here onwards Real Madrid was kept at bay by Almeria goalkeeper ALVES who showed why the big European Clubs have him in mind for next season, including Real Madrid. Clearly the best man for Almeria tonight as he foiled all the Madrid opportunities & gave his team plenty of counter-attacking chances which they did not manage to convert.
In fact, Real Madrid looked boring in their play during most of the 2ºhalf until midfielder RAFAEL VAN DER VAART whipped a shot that defeated Almeria goalie Alves to put Real Madrid in the lead.
This goal would finally turn out to be the winner. Important victory for the "Whites" & unlucky for Almeria in certain aspects as they didn´t do a bad job at all tonight.
VALENCIA CF defeated ATHLETIC DE BILBAO 2-0 with a magnificent DAVID SILVA who scored two goals, the first in the 35th min & the second - a real gem of a goal full of class - in the 62th min. Athletic had their chances but Valencia veteran goalkeeper Cesar looks more like a 20 year old with same fine saves that keep Bilbao at bay. Valencia get their 3 points to hold onto & consolidated a little more the 3rd place of the classification table, & Athletic are now a point away from Getafe who are breathing down their necks for the valueable Euro place.Tweet
