La Liga - 2012/2013

They still had to clinch that EL spot. Otherwise they would have to wait even longer to reach Europe again.

They have been banned from playing in any UEFA competitions.
 
Villa, Fabregas and Pedro laughing among themselves at a private joke elsewhere Mascherano is instructing Montoya about positioning etc. :lol:
 
They have been banned from Europe the next time they qualify in the next years. That sentence can be increased.

:confused: Basically they have no motivation to play for European competition as UEFA have banned them was my point.

p.s Isco's ability to dribble past players is impressive.

They've played bad since the clinched the top 6. They still needed to clinch it. Otherwise they would have nothing to play for next season. That's their motivation.

You get into the top 6 for Europe that is the only thing to play for they won't be in Europe next year plus the club is in turmoil no surprise they have lost hunger.
 
Goal Ever Banega as I just said in his own thread. Valencia 1 - 0 up after Sevilla had the upper hand early on
 
Definite penalty for Valencia not given, clear kick from behind on Soldado. Getting a bit nasty in this game. Now Soldado booked...

Just tuned in now, what was the reason for the kick?

This won't stay 11 apiece at this rate, frantic atmosphere by the fans to match the frantic pace of the game.

Ball was crossed in and Soldado was clearly the favourite for the ball. Defender Cala knew he couldnt get there and slid in to kick him in the calf or back of the leg to impede him
 
What the hell is going on in this game :lol:

Penalty Sevilla
 
Great run from Perotti, but a lot less in the penalty for Sevilla than the Valencia shout earlier. Knew that would come back to bite them. Could be 2-1
 
Red card for Jonas.

Awful decision. Haven't seen many decisions worse than that before.
 
Costa was slightly unlucky to give away the penalty, but the defending on the bicycle was nowhere near good enough. How someone of Albelda's experience can allow him that amount of space

And now Jonas gets himself sent off, game over... Although looking at the replay, barely a hand touching the defender, terrible diving. Again unlucky
 
Take it we're all watching the exciting relegation finish then? all 4 teams can go down or survive all at home and all need a win.

Currently its Celta Vigo with a 1-0 lead over Espanyol who are the survivors.

Also, i'd rather see Real S in the CL than Valencia, havent they only recently come back up?
 
Red card for Jonas.

Awful decision. Haven't seen many decisions worse than that before.

The ref decides the outcome of most games these days because of controversial decisions like this. Definitely not a red card.
 
Tonight Negredo became the first Spanish player since David Villa to score 25 goals in a domestic season. In 2009 he was minutes away from joining Hull...
