Barca queen stage began with five points ahead of Madrid and arrives at the halfway mark with the same advantage. Not a bad business. Mallorca won, won in Valencia and drawn in Seville. You have Villarreal and Bernabéu and little else on the horizon, perhaps Anoeta, but the Royal Society will be played very little in that game. Winning what's left at home and assuming, as a matter of quality, you'll earn on the field at Levante and Malaga, Barcelona would be missing four points in those three games to win the league though mathematically it wins Madrid everything, including the derby.
Of course, none of this will happen. Or not likely. Real Madrid will not win every game, including his queen stage starts now: Calderon, San Mames, derby, Valencia, Sevilla and Villarreal, with the King's Cup through the qualifiers and Champions League. It is also quite possible that fatigue is already evident in Barcelona will lead to some unexpected prick, but in principle the five-point lead is much greater if you look at the calendar when viewed by itself.
Back to Sevilla, a great game but strange. Barcelona threw two balls to the posts, saw him pull out a ball Medel to Iniesta on the goal line at discount and protest a disallowed goal and several penalties. I think there is no objection to the team: a first part made solid and overwhelming in its style, and could be defended as a local push in the second half pulling forces where none existed. They had been on the comeback of Champions.
Under these conditions, the tie is a great result, mostly because the Seville played an excellent game. Not in the first place, of course, where just looked at rival and disturb what is right but in the second. The key was the entrance to Kanoute, who pulled the team up several feet and gave him the option of counterattack. Manzano decided to leave the team into two and was an easy decision: such a crazy party does not control Barcelona. The thrashing can win-even-for quality, but goes into a spinner in which the two are on alert and not just one.
that tactic worked for needed a player like Gary Medel in the midfield. His party was amazing, the best course of his team. With Sevilla 0-1 and delivered, Medel and Kanoute pulled claw and lost their fear. Was missing. Perhaps the Barcelona left the locker room in the second half thinking of the rugged knee in an unfortunate move Messi just finishing the first half. We'll never know. What we know is that a good defensive red herring used by Negredo's goal led Navas when nobody expected it.
The party was being a monologue and then suddenly turned to be a fight.
From there it was a matter of dedication and strength. Probably both of them had been well enough draw, but played as if there were no tomorrow. At times it seemed that the physical tip the balance in favor of Seville, especially seeing Perotti Pique make clear again and again, but in favor of Catalan have to say that Dani Alves was terrible in the second period: no danger created in attack and defense and it was not expected.
2-1 Just when it seemed a clear choice-Valdes took a prodigious leg Navas, Kanoute and failed auctions Negredo simple coming from behind ... - Barcelona drew his last breath of rage: Messi made a couple of diagonal magic, Iniesta shot to the post and then, without a goalkeeper, met Medel, Bojan requested a penalty quite clear that it was in limbo as many other moves in the two areas.
And the only thing that marred this match was the arbitration. Not because they harm or benefit to a team, but at random for each decision. Annulled Messi goal incomprehensible to the launch of a misdemeanor, not a Zokora awarded a penalty, then ate a couple of them in the penalty area, let them go play after clear faults and cut others in which the defense clearly had the ball ...
What benefit you one day you hurt another, sometimes even within the same party: it is what you need to understand every game with rules. The problem with Perez Lasa was this feeling that anything could really whistle. Anybody. On one side was added to the epic game. Furthermore, it would be reviewed once the suitability of this college, which is not good football, regardless of results.
In any event, the club would do well to spend these two weeks off to recover Pedro and Villa and not complain about the refereeing. Without their effectiveness, the team no longer seems invincible.
