Barcelona Under Great Pressure

Barcelona is under great pressure and this could be one of the reasons as to why they lost to Real Madrid. Another reason and this is one that’s been going around, is that using Tello and Thiago whom have little experience facing teams of this caliber under so much pressure was not a wise idea, but then to be fair Valdes failed when needed the most. The entire team did awful, with the exception of Alexis Sanchez whose goal gave some hope to the team. Hopefully for them they’ll get their issues solved before the game against Chelsea and Guardiola won’t try weird player combinations.

It could not be worse for Las Chivas whom have had a bad season at home, and now lost miserably at Copa Libertadores and was eliminated.
Hugo Hernandez had a very busy day defending his arch, from the relentless Ecuadorean attacks and to make matters worse they even had Jorge Henriquez kicked out of the game.

The independence cup


It is the hope of the Dominican Football fans that it will be a better organized tournament than the failed Coca Cola Liga Mayor, which can’t even be compared to the closing season or “ Torneo Clausura  as it is known in other Football playing nations of America. The failure of the Coca Cola Liga Mayor is due to many reasons; one of those reasons is the fact that due to the lack of coordination, the majority of provincial and private football teams refused to play under such conditions as; bad state of the football fields, lack of support for the provincial teams and a lack of public recognition for last years Tournament champions Moca F.C, which still has not received from the federation their trophy. Hopefully the independence cup will be the start of a new way of managing Football tournaments in the Dominican Republic.

Real Madrid is king

Even though Atletico Madrid gave it their all, and at the begining even seemed as if they were going to be able to at least maintain a tie, they were beaten 4-1. This outcome makes the possibility that Barcelona may win La Liga, a bit more difficult.

Real Madrid's greatest fear

Who would have thought that Barcelona would be this close behind Real Madrid during this season? Not even Guardiola whom thought that it was almost impossible. Today Barcelona could get even closer, if for some reason Real Madrid ties and hey; why not they could even lose. All the pressure is on Real Madrid, which will make for a juicy match.
