Dateline Barcelona
Light rain--very light--falling on the Ciudad Condal. Off to the Camp Nou in just a couple of minutes. We'll see if they pull in 90,000 plus for today's derby, which will feature a huge mosaic "We're All Here" in Catalan.
Tot el camp,
Es un clam,
Som la gent blaugrana . . .

Does Spain not have a multileague when all 10 games are on at once then?
Atletico Madrid lose to relegated Levante. And we were down to two....

91,610 in the Camp Nou see Barsa keep first place with a 5-0 thrashing of Espanyol. Messi scored on a free kick at 7'; Suarez made it 2-0 at about 52' and 3-0 at about 62'; Rafinha had a tap-in at 74'; Neymar finished the scoring at about 84'.
Pippo Rossi scored at 90' to beat Atletico and remove them from the title race; Real stayed in the hunt 3-2 over Valencia. Celta took over fifth place beating Malaga as Athletic could only tie 0-0 at Las Palmas. Granada crushed Sevilla--virus UEFA?--1-4, which I think means Granada will stay up. Getafe and Sporting tied 1-1, which means they're both still in the soup. Rayo lost in Anoeta 2-1, which means we gotta win at home to Levante and hope and pray. Will work out all the possibilities when I've got time.
Just got confirmation that Granada is safe. Barsa plays at Granada next weekend; must win to guarantee winning the league.

Rayo's chances are very slim now. Sunday's defeat almost kill their chances.
At least one between Getafe and Gijon should win against opponents with nothing to play.

Hope springs eternal Should both Geta and Sporting lose, a tie saves us. If they both tie or worse, a win saves us. Crummy odds, surely, but . . . it is what it is, as my new philosophical view of life, the universe, and everything would have it.matt wrote:Rayo's chances are very slim now.

All good things must end tomorrow, very early, my wife and I leave Barcelona after another wonderful visit--wonderful despite illness and Barsa's elimination from the CL. We spent time here this year with many wonderful friends, including SirHenri--which goes to prove that you don't have to root for the same teams to be good friends
We plan to return next year about the same time as this year, health permitting.
Viva el futbol and visca Barsa.

And a warm welcome to the squirrels

Wasn't sure which thread to use, so will be this one.
Just read Barcelona fear Granada will let their grass grow.
But from next season there will be regulations about the length of the grass.
The same article says in UEFA matches there is regulations saying it needs to be between 2-3 cm.
Do any of you know about the regulations for next season will be the same and also does either of this 2 regulations include watering?

Safe home, Alan.
Not been saying much about the final games as, if I had to write out a list of my preferred Spanish sides, Sporting, Rayo and Getafe would be in the top ten. Damn.
