The Cl will be interesting in Spain for next season.
Real and Barca are there for sure. Villarreal are really keeping under the radar this season, they've won the same amount of games as Barca and are only 2 points behind them. So it looks like they'll also be in the CL.
The last place is u for grabs. Only 5 points seperate Atletico, Racing, Sevilla and Espanyol. Obviously I want Sevilla to take it, but I wouldn't mind Atletico or Espanyol making it.

I'm against Real and their football so I'd picked up Barca. Atletico is my favorite club in Spain, but they are far away. One more reason to chear for Barcelona is Frank Rijkaard. So I don't really get what's the fuss with them loose a 2:0 lead.

That's what makes them more laughable. they are far superior to Madrid when it comes to having great players on & off the pitch and yet they've been second best to Madrid for the entire season [and now they've fallen behind Villarreal]. how can they be like this with so many GREAT players?! just look at the names and compare them with Madrid's and you'll understand why Madrid are doing a better job.

Haha! it's funny how everyone expected a Sevilla win but Madrid showed once again why they're on top.

Schuster: Ronaldo beats Kaka
Wednesday 2 April, 2008
Real Madrid Coach Bernd Schuster claims that Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo is a better player than Milan ace Kaka.
Kaka secured the FIFA World Player of the Year and the Ballon d’Or award last year, but the Brazilian midfielder has come off the boil since during an injury-plagued start to 2008.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo took his tally to 36 for the season with his goal against Roma last night and is on unstoppable form.
“Ronaldo has already overtaken Kaka after the Brazilian’s slump,†Schuster insisted.
“Right now, Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world. He’s the star at Old Trafford and until they win the Champions League and another League title or two they aren’t going to let him go.
“I don’t think he could be signed at the moment, but hopefully in another couple of years he could be wearing the white shirt at the Bernabeu.â€
Hope this means they'll leave us alone now!

He's said he's going to leave United at some point so they are probably going to get him sooner or later...

Real eye Roma duo
Wednesday 2 April, 2008
Spanish reports are linking Real Madrid with a swoop for Roma duo Alberto Aquilani and Daniele De Rossi.
Aquilani and De Rossi are two of Italy’s most promising talents and are likely to have a long Azzurri future.
Both men are fiercely committed to the Roma cause but Real Madrid are ready to test that bond with a big-money offer, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.
A vast sum is expected to be required as De Rossi is seen as the Giallorossi’s future captain and indispensable to the club, while the Lupi have already reportedly fended off Inter’s advances for Aquilani.
“At the moment it seems best not to talk about this situation,†Aquilani’s agent Franco Zavaglia insisted.
“From what I know, Real’s sporting director Pedja Mijatovic can only have come to watch games. I can’t say any more than that.
“Just because Marca say something doesn’t mean that it is true and I can safely say that the player wants to stay at Roma.â€
Recent Press reports have also suggested that Real are tracking Roma’s Montenegrin hitman Mirko Vucinic.
Both are great players! Hope they won't join the white c***s!

Cristiano is going to leave United in 2-3 years for sure. And he'll be a R.Madrid after that. Even the Man Utd fans know that. He said his dream is to play in La Liga 1 day, not for the Salford cnuts.
De Rossi almost signed for them 2 years ago but Florentino fecked up the thing (too defensive, won't sell shirts).

They said that thing because TV3 (a Catalonian TV station) said Guardiola will replace Rijkaard by the end of the season. TV3 said Laporta agreed with it.
Usually TV3 is a very reliable source about the club.

Sergio was sent off at the 65min, and he was playing as RB.
On the 66th Diarra was in for that place. 10min after Real gets a goal. 1-1.
After that Schuster decides to put Miguel Torres, a RB, for that place putting Diarra in the midfield. Basically saying "OK, I f up everything."
