Today's matches of Barcelona vs Espanyol, Sevilla vs Mallorca, Real Madrid vs Zaragosa are a prime example of why you must play every soccer game hard until the final minute because anything can happen in the dying minutes of a game.

Barcelona took on Espanyol at their home field of the Camp Nou. They needed to win this match to stay alive in the title race. Espanyol took the lead in the 30th minute with a great striker by their captain Tamudo, but Barcelona would tie the game just before half time with a controversial goal by Messi, which was his version of the 'hand of god' done by Maradona back in the 1986 FIFA World Cup.


I guess Messi is the new Maradona since he has scored duplicates of the goals Maradona scored back in that 1986 game against England.

Anyways, after halftime Barcelona went on top with another goal by Messi to give them a 2-1 lead. As I said you must play the match to its entirety. In the 90th minute Tamudo beat Barcelona's offsides trap to tie the game at 2-2.

In the other important match of this weekend Real Madrid fell behind in the 32nd minute to Zaragosa with penalty kick that was taken by Diego Milito. Zaragosa would go into halftime with the 1-0 lead. In the second half Real Madrid tied it at one a piece with a header by the Dutchman Van Nistelrooy. Zaragosa would take the lead again in the 64th minute though with another goal by Diego Milito. Real Madrid though would continually fight for the equalizer. Like the theme of this post has been 'fight to the end' they did. In the 89th minute Van Nistelrooy came away with a strike that could possibly helped Real Madrid win the La Liga title.

Sevilla tied Mallorca 0-0, I did not watch the match so there is not much I can really highlight for you.

Barcelona failed to capitalize on the lead that they had in this weekends game, but there is still one more game left in the league , so it looks like the title race will come down to the very last game and who wants it the most between Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Sevilla!!

Here is how the table for the top 3 currently stands:

1. Real Madrid 73 pts
2. Barcelona 73pts
3. Sevilla 71 pts

Real Madrid currently leads due to head to head games with Barcelona.
