Goal...........

1 - 0

Mata

Pressure on Real now

They need to win to stop Barca claiming the title tomorrow

Boo - yaa

Goal............

2 - 0

Silva

Title confirmed 2moro ?

Casillas to blame there

andrewie

That was really poor from Casillas getting beat at his near post.

Valencia's form has been stunning recently - on the evidence of the last month or two, they could be back close to the top again next year if off-field issues don't cripple them.

Second goal was poor from Casillas but a 2-goal lead isn't completely undeserved - Real have been second best by a mile.

Totally agree and Valencia are unlucky not to have scored more than two.

They just went close again.

Real are poor. They havent got going tonight at all. Wonder did last weeks 6-2 annihilation knock their confidence.


Goal...........

3 - 0

Baraja

Holsten

Jesus what a goal, cracker!

andrewie

Great volley!

Ah crap this probably means no Villareal in CL next year,like to watch them:(

eZe^

I don't want Valencia in the CL, they will be probably lose the likes of Villa, Silva and Mata, so they won't be able to give a proper account of themselves or La Liga. I'd prefer Atletico or Villareal...

Agree,even commentators never miss to say they are in critical financial situation and they need to sell a lot this summer so i supose they wont be impressive at all in CL but i dont see neither Atletico or Villareal getting that 4th spot...

Getting into the Champions league could be exactly what they need to entice the likes of Villa, Mata, Silva and Joaquín to stay.

delija_sever029

Actually they need CL to survive financialy,least i heard that during the game last night,and players selling is something they will do anyway coz they owe a lot of money

Villareal one down to Barca already, deflected shot from Keita.

cruiserweight

Llorente makes it 1-1 and a few minutes later Valdes make a great save to keep it level. Barca are creating chances, but have ben guilty of being a little sloppy with possession at times

Raskolnikov

Can see Villareal getting a result here considering that the title is all but in the bag.

delija_sever029

Ah the only hope for Viullareal to play CL next season is to win today,cant see that happening tbh...

cruiserweight

2-1 to Barca now, Etoo another goal closer to being highest scorer this year

cruiserweight

3-1 now, Alves free kick. I can see a penalty for Barcelona yet, Villareal are giving away a lot of free kicks in and around the box

Whats left in the game guys?

Half time atm

Thanks bro keep me posted if you dont mind!

Raskolnikov

Should be 5 or 6 goals to 1 here.

Xavi had a perfectly good goal disallowed there.

busted flush

whats the score now and how much is left?

Raskolnikov

3-2

cruiserweight

Penalty to Villareal, 3-2 now and Abidal off. About 15 to go including injury time

Raskolnikov

livescore.com might be of help to you, sir.

delija_sever029

Abidal became really sticky to red lately:D

Raskolnikov

Villa should have had a peno there.

Raskolnikov

4 min inj

Raskolnikov

3-3

harsh on barca!

great finish though

mike65

Does that keep the title race open?

in theory yes, though Barca would need to lose every game, and madrid win every one.

An Citeog

Barça had a definite penalty not given in the first half for a foul on Alves and a Xavi goal wrongly disallowed in the second half. Francoist conspiracy by the Spanish FA?:P

~Rebel~

xavi was definately on alright, 4-1 would have really finished it off.

Cant believe Abidal is off for the second time in 2 games, though this one was much more clear cut.

I thought it was a very harsh red tbh. Suppose it all depends on how you define a "clear" goalscoring opportunity though.

kinaldo

Barca could have done without that. Lucky Villarreal.

re. Valencia, they remind me of a successful Newcastle. A trip to the Mestalla is high on my places to go list.

dfx-

Iniesta injured?:eek:
