Fri, 8 June 2007 The Champions League may be on summer break, but they're still playing in La Liga Primera! And Spain's top league is coming down to the wire. With 2 games remaining, Real Madrid tops the table with 72 points. Barcelona is even with their fierce rivals at 72 points, but Real leads due to their head-to-head advantage. Last month's UEFA Cup champions Sevilla are just 2 points behind the leaders. Thiscoming weekend Real travels to Real Zaragoza--who is trying to cling to a UEFA Cup place--while Barca hosts the city derby against this year's UEFA Cup finalists Espanyol. For next week's finale, Real hosts Mallorca while Barca plays at relegation-bound Gimnastic. Can Real cap a remarkable rebound this season with the Primera crown? Or will Barca repeat as champions? Should be a great finish! Category: News and opinion -- posted at: 10:08 AM Comments[0] |
