2-2

What a goal by Messi!

Osasuna don't deserve this

Best left peg in the world?

Riera


Just kidding, definitely up there, not the most powerful, but certainly the most talented left foot.

I went a bit giddy when I saw the Osasuna scoreline with 15 minutes to go. Serves me right for jumping the gun!

The weekend:

Valencia 3-3 Villarreal
Deportivo 1-3 Sevilla
Atletico Madrid 2-3 Athletic Bilbao
Espanyol 2-2 Almeria
Mallorca 0-3 Real Madrid
Numancia 2-0 Getafe
Osasuna 2-3 Barcelona
Racing Santander 1-1 Recreativo Huelva
Real Betis 1-2 Malaga
Sporting Gijon 2-1 Valladolid

So Barcelona refuse to make this title race a bit more interesting with that hard-fought win in Pamplona. Barcelona's lead extends to 12 points with Real Madrid moving into second on goal difference, following their comfortable 3-0 win in the Balearics. Juande Ramos is unbeaten since El Clasico and Arjen Robben is in some nick.

Sevilla's negotiation of a tricky tie in Galicia means Manolo Jiminez can breathe easier, especially with both his main strikers, Fabiano and Kanoute, making a big impact. Valencia sit in fourth as just the slightest gap opens up between them and the UEFA cup spots.

Javier Aguirre is under pressure as Asim has noted, a home defeat is one thing but a home defeat to the Basques, who certainly do not travel well, is quite a result to stomach. Two goals from that man Fernando Llorente who is up to 7 for the season. Villarreal's creditable draw at the Mestalla means they are only just above Depor.

At the bottom, Numancia are the big winners as they pull further away, but Osasuna and Mallorca look increasingly adrift. Two Uche goals got Almeria out of jail at the Montjuic, while a stalemate between Racing and Recre helps neither. Things looking rosy for Sporting, however, as they leapfrog Valladolid.

that espanyol result will make some of my mates happy for the rest of the week. quite a few of them didnt expect anything out of that game. you know its bad when you dont fancy yourself at home to almeria.

I dont watch much La Liga, so rather than sound like a liverpool fan who think they know everything about the premiership from watching match of the day, could anyone tell me, are the any central defenders playing in La Liga, who are better than puyol

Atletico in freefall from the sounds of it, losing to Athletico at home is beyond bad.

Aguirre might only have a few games left if this forms carries on

just seen messi's goal... WOW!
