The Spanish League - Liga - celebrates mid-week Round 36 action with four games scheduled that gave us the following results & scorers as the season comes to its natural end with a "titanic" effort at the top of the classification table for the title & at the bottom to avoid relegation.
FC BARCELONA won 4-1 TENERIFE in the rain to put back the pressure on Real Madrid who must win tomorrow against Mallorca if they are to keep their Liga title options alive. However, this scoreline gives a distorted image of the reality as Barcelona played an oridinary match & solved a delicate situation towards the end.LIONEL MESSI put Barcelona ahead in the 17th min with a header, but Tenerife equalized in the 39th min via ROMAN after a Puyol defensive mistake. Barcelona was very nervious as they were thinking that they may be giving the Liga title to Real Madrid if this game finished in a draw. But young BOJAN again came to the rescue in the 63rd min & PEDRO later in the 77th min - who took over from a very poor Ibrahimovic - to have MESSI score his second & Barça´s fourth in the 93rd min.
LIONEL MESSI takes his personal goal tally to 31 goals ( 44 in all competitions) & makes him a clear candidate to take this years Spanish League Top Goal Scorer - El Pichichi - & European Top Goal Scorer - Golden Boot Award. There are still 2 more Liga rounds left to further add to his goal tally.
ALMERIA won 4-2 VILLAREAL & in the process virtually assured their presence in the 1º Division of the Spanish League. The first half was all Almeria with goals from CRUSAT in the 14th & two goals from UCHE in the 28th & 42nd min. Villareal reacted somewhat in the 2ºhalf with goals from MARCANO in the 53rd min & IBAGAZA in the 67th min, but Almeria player PIATTI halted Villareal´s push with his & Almeria´s fourth goal in the 92nd min.
GETAFE & REAL SPORTING DE GIJON finished in a 1-1 draw with both side giving the spectators two "blinders". DE LA CUEVAS put Sporting ahead in the 17th min with a power-driver from long range & SOLDADO (above) equalized in the 47th min with a overhead goal.Sporting haven´t as yet totally saved themselves from the dangerzone!
VALENCIA CF consolidate their 3ºrd place on the ladder after defeating XEREZ 3-1 after the latter surprised going ahead in the 37th min via ARMENTEROS. However, MATA scored twice in the 45th min & 57th min to steer Valencia CF home with DAVID SILVA (above) finishing the job with his teams third in the 67th min.
