Barca kept the pulse

Three points separate Barcelona and Real Madrid are four goals that Barça achieved in the whole Romareda. A game theory but in practice, pending a final. Zaragoza is risking his life and still not lose hope. And even between the runner and the eighteenth was the stake before a distance of 44 points, the fact is that at least during the moments leading equality and inequality up for the hands, was dormant. The Manolo Jimenez, who was expelled, ended with ten players on the green and watching the '10 'as always, Messi, again extending his tally to allow his team sleep dreaming of a white slip.

Pep Guardiola, without Pique, left on the bench and Xavi in midfield left the starting visitors Thiago, Keita and Cesc. The premises, with sensitive low as those of Luis Garcia or Apoño also surprised in the lineup without the presence of his top scorer, Helder Postiga. The tip of the occupied Aranda blanquilla attack that, like all his colleagues, was very guerrilla, encorajado, coming out openly against one of the candidates. Perhaps that slogan with which left Zaragoza, the appeal to the aggressiveness in certain moments and, in turn, complain about most decisions Turienzo Alvarez, I ended up taking its toll. And though it ended outnumbered, the fact is that too received punishment.

Barca, uncomfortable with the Coliseum turf Aragon, saw 22 minutes knocking back Lafita Victor Valdes in the area so that the referee signaled the appropriate penalty. From the spot the goalkeeper guessed the path of the launch of Aranda and maintained an equality in the mail that only lasted eight minutes. In the second chance to advance to his team, '7 'took a hand in hand with Valdes in the rebound to his first shot, finishing the ball almost involuntarily and with the head to make their fans crazy. A timid attempt Cesc was the preamble to the tie, which signed Puyol after an unfortunate clearance Roberto went to his boots.

Soon, Messi, who was beginning to show signs of life, took oil of a counter that started with a shoe of Michael on the face of Dani Alves. The Argentine received the ball just in time Alexis can stun your marker, Da Silva and shoot with his left foot to Roberto that this time could do nothing. Before the break, Abraham ended the way to the locker room early in the paths yellow cards and just starting the second half, Manolo Jimenez had to stay in the stands of La Romareda to see red for dissent. The Andalusian complained bitterly press room for the referee's decisions, especially in hand Keita possible within the area that whistled and where, previously, could be a lack of Lafita, which also obviated.

Anyway, Zaragoza went to the house with bitter feeling then, after giving the face scoring once, saw a penalty and he missed two goals fit for his own mistakes. After the break, and despite playing with ten men, had a clear chance, as one that Obradovic sent into limbo. Guardiola ushered Busquets and that ended the danger tilefish, would not rule out the possibility of the mash at the end. With the presence of midfield dominance began to be Barcelona and chances were falling from the visitor side. Discomfort also retired with Dani Alves, leaving the squad place Montoya. Zaragoza tried to Postiga, who in his unique approach to the area was thrown into the pool with 1-2 on the scoreboard.

In the end, the Barcelona imposed stumbled over his game. In superiority enjoyed repeatedly kill off the match, but it was not until 85 ', and a penalty, when he succeeded. Messi made ​​no mistake, marked its 38th goal in the domestic championship and shattered the good match of Zaragoza. In the discount, with Xavi in the field, a combination between Peter and Messi completed the canary with a shot inside the area that housed the final 1-4 in La Romareda. Hard punishment for the hands, with the offense of Villarreal can continue to believe in salvation, and three points for the runner's pocket, which in this case you want the trip comes on Sunday and part of Real Madrid.
