    Well a bad week for Barca and Real Madrid.
    Both lost yesterday, that's four in a row for Real and Barca's first loss in 18 games.

    I didn't watch the Real Madrid match yesterday, but they lost 3-2 to Mallorca. IIrc they were at home aswell.

    Barcelona lost 1-0 to Celta Vigo away. It was a match Celta needed to win more than Barcelona did. It was not a pretty match at all. Celta played with smart tactics and kept the Barcelona players closed down giving them no space to work with the ball. They had to win, considering going into the match they were in 19th spot.
    Barca played like the season was over already. Valencia realisticly being too far ahead (5 points). So it was a lack lustre performance.
    It was the worst Barca game I've seen in the league since Christmas. It was like watching a Liverpool match.
    Victor Valdes played well, even though he had little to do in all fairness. The penalty save probably being the highlight.


    So, with both Real Madrid and Barca slipping yesterday, if Valencia won tonight against Sevilla they would be crowned champions.
    Again I didn't watch the match (damn exams) but the result was a 2 - 0 victory for Valencia.
    So congrats to them, I'm glad Real Madrid didn't win it anyway.
    Valencia have been very consistent all season and certainly deserved to win the title.

    Hopefully Barcelona will play aswell next season as they did in the latter half of this season for the entire campaign. Then I can certainly see silver ware coming our way. And depending on signings made, they could make a realistic challenge for the Champions League not just La Liga.

    Delighted for Valancia. Mostly cost i dont like Madrid. There a great team but there so damn cocky. I hope Barca get second spot. They have been brilliant since January going 18 games unbeaten. I hope they put up a fight for the La Liga title next season and Champions League.

    Good game tonight , gotta love Spanish football only league where a defender could skin you twice :D

    Anyone see the goal that was ruled out for Seville?
    That should be taught to kids how to head a ball at pace, cracking goal shame it was ruled out.
