MATCH TOUR
Atletico - Barcelona. Madrid, about to recklessly attack in the fall, approached the spring climax with an unexpected number in the “Goal Goals” column. Only Getafe has less, to whom the “mattresses” in the previous round threw as many as four goals. The trench war was the result of prolonged injuries of Martin Petrov and Maxi Rodriguez. Now they are back in service, and Atletico is trying to regain the autumn mood. Barcelona has the upcoming rating of the remaining opponents in the championship. However, as it turned out, the Catalans are able to stumble even in the match with the frail Betis. Thus, the blue garnet fired forward Real Madrid, which ascended to the top after a 19-month break. On October 15, 2005, the “creamy” ones put just “Atletico” on the shoulder blades, remaining in the minority already at the 7th minute of the meeting.
UNEXPECTED INTrigue
Real Sociedad - Celta. Rivals are given the last chance to cling to the elite. Moreover, for both teams such a passage sounds somewhat illogical. The Galicians seemed to have started, having got the commander-in-chief Hristo Stoichkova. He began with a beautiful victory and thunderous applause (they say that Balaidos had not heard of such a long time). And he continued with four defeats in a row (and Celta had not looked so helpless for a long time). The hosts take their “own” glasses and without panic try to stay on the sunny side. In this they deserve at least respect.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEW
Villarreal made an offer to Chelsea to buy the Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko . At the same time, the Castilians are ready to let go of their main sniper Diego Forlan . The British, in turn, will not be capricious if they agree with Valencia on the transfer of David Villa .
IMPORTANT WORDS
“The current Real Madrid cannot but impress. I’m forced not only to admit it, but also to say it out loud, ” Frank Rikard confesses the helmsman of Barcelona.
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS
In 9 meetings in a row, “Betis” cannot be defeated. The last good luck was in the match with Deportivo on March 4, when the Sevilians won away 1-0. Given this fight, their unbeaten run at that time was 10 matches.
