Jürgen Klopp , the coach of Liverpool , surprised betting on midfielder Lucas Leiva central and relied on their particular offensive trident: Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge. In the City, champion two years ago, Manuel Pellegrini regained his captain, the Belgian Vincent Kompany, who was in central defense alongside Nicolas Otamendi.
Sergio Aguero again led the attack of Manchester, that the main novelty had the Argentine goalkeeper Willy Caballero, the usual Cups, as a starter at the expense of Joe Hart. Klopp's men carried the offensive load in the first half, supported by a large Alberto Moreno, a dagger in his left side, and always rely on the inspiration of a Sturridge motivated.
The City, meanwhile, sought to break uncheck a little participatory Agueroand internees on the left side of a Raheem Sterling loud boos from the fans 'Red' was taking every time he touched the ball.

Sporting Gijon falls victim to his mistakes

Sporting fell victim to their own mistakes against a direct rival like the Spanish in a match where the home side ahead on the scoreboard, but then allowed two goals on 10 minutes proved decisive .
The two teams took the field aware that the points were very important game for both, since both struggling to put land in between with respect to the relegation zone. After the first minute score in which they fought to gain control of the ball the Spanish was the first to try a distant shot of Burgui, which cleared Cuéllar not without some trouble.
The Barcelona had more possession of the ball , but the rojiblancos were more direct, especially on the left side where Jony and Isma López put in alot of trouble to your bookmarks with their constant combinations and changes location.
Jony reached the bottom line and its center is touched by Pau López enough to reach Sanabria almost in front of goal in the first good local time, shortly after squandered a much clearer when Carlos Castro was determined to finish personally had a against in which he was accompanied by Sanabria and Jony and cleared the goalkeeper.
Local attacks came mainly from the left side and it was conceived the Atletico goal in a cross from Jony about Isma López firing crossed, but Pau López cleared but the ball fell to the feet of Carlos Castro yes taken care of properly.
Castro thus added his third goal in as many consecutive days, the first two goals against Barcelona and Betis served to Abelardo keep him in the team despite recovering Sanabria also left home at the expense of Halilovic.
But the Spanish continued to play as far, with long balls looking behind the defense but without creating danger beyond two set pieces, which Asensio first shot against the crossbar and on his second attempt sent him slightly high.
This Sporting seems unable to hold an advantage and the Spanish equalized before the break in a personal move by Burgui, who took the ball somewhat difficult angle but was focused based feints shot facing no opposition from the Atleti defense and when he really did beat Cuellar with a cross shot halfway up.
The second half could not have started worse for the home they were complicated single party in error in midfield Javi Lopez takes the opportunity to steal the ball and send a center on the arrival of Gerard Moreno , who beat Cuellar pleasure.
Sporting went from ahead on the scoreboard to have it against because few minutes later another fumble in their midfield allowed the theft of Gerard Moreno who launched a shot that surprised effective Cuellar and doubled the lead for his team.
The team gijonés accused these two failures as a row and spent a few minutes in which he hardly left nothing allowing the Spanish play with tranquility, and even parsimony to the despair of viewers who did not expect much less this turn in the match.
But this Sporting will be denied many things but not fight and delivery throughout the match and just five minutes after the third goal españolista to gijoneses cut differences. It was a center of Jony where he arrived with a cyclone Carlos Castro to score his second goal head up the mood in the stands because there were still many minutes ahead.
Locals were decidedly the attack although some players like Jony were literally melted and in their efforts to leveling the score to point were to do it on a corner kick that hit head Meré and the ball came to Sanabria who finished as he could and the ball ended crashing into the crossbar.
It was the only bar that saved the Spanish , because a few minutes latera shot by Rachid center also ended up crashing into it in a few minutes in which the premises were turned over to the attack and the Spanish defending their lead and looking to surprise another against . And eventually they are succeeding in a ball which Marco Asensio won by speed his marker and shoot strong and crossed the ball touches Luis Hernandez enough to throw Cuellar.
The fourth goal came as a slab to which was added the red card shown by Velasco Carballo to Nacho Cases for a hard tackle on Marco Asensio who left Sporting with one less the last 10 minutes.

Rayo leaves Betis with honey on the lips

Rayo Vallecano, as happened last weekend in Vallecas against Sevilla, managed to equalize an adverse 0-2 and gave good point against a direct rival like Real Betis, who stayed with honey lips after having won their two goals in the first half and it sees as not far from the relegation zone.
It was a party to the victory of one of the two contenders give him a big beat in qualifying, although the point for the Lightning knows you achieve glory out and extend their unbeaten streak to seven games since.
Ever since the coaches announced their starting lineups was evident that both were strongly for the win, as in the case of Juan Merino I had two strikers like Jorge Molina born and striker Ruben Castro.
Paco Jemez, also true to his style of play, relied on the lead in the Venezuelan Nicolas Fedor 'Miku', whom the Sevilla was presented with five goals achieved in the last five days, with the company of Francisco Medina 'Piti' which since rejoining the team in January Vallecano Granada from the owner he had not left.
Lightning showed desire to extend the streak of six games without losing and having scored in the last eight games and soon seven minutes, Adrian Embarba took advantage of indecision in the local defense to finish off a ball finally swerved the crossbar.
It was a game of alternating and arrivals on either area, although that was hit first with an accurate header Betis canary Ruben Castro, who opened the scoring before the completion of the quarter hour.
Local much did nothing but redouble efforts attackers visitors but also prompted the Betis were ordered more in containing and found spaces.
In one of these counterattacks a corner forced and Ruben Castro , attentive at the far post after prolonging Jorge Molina and head, scored his second and twelfth in so far this championship, somewhat that it was protested by Ray players for possible offside.
That cost 2-0 reply by the team of Jemez, imprecise with the ball and without having it clear to create problems for the goal Antonio Adam.
It was near the third before the break Betis because verdiblancos focused and played with the young Belgian Charly fast, vertical Musonda and even claimed a penalty in one of its internees.
Mal put the situation to Ray for the second part, so his coach Jonathan Montiel brought by the Portuguese defender Ze Castro and Angolan strikerManucho Contreiras by Miku , who finished injured in the first half.
The changes could not be more effective as Manucho scored twice in the first six minutes of the restart and managed to even the score, which he did last time when Vallecas drew against Sevilla after an adverse 0-2.
Merino then also moved the bench and made his debut at one of the winter signings, Brazilian striker Leandro Damiao, seeing that the opponent had stayed with a line of three defenders.
Now it was Betis who went out with two goals scored in a match that became more jumbled and which Jemez remounted a line of four defenders with the entrance to center field exbético Antonio Amaya.
So he entered the last quarter of an hour, in which the Lightning gave good draw and verdiblancos sought a new both eager and shot the bar included Dani Ceballos in prolongation of the crash was not enough to win.

Nolito drives Celta's European dream

An opportunistic Nolito appearance of the end of the party that won 0-1 at Getafe Celta, enough for the Galician side to boost their European dream at the expense of his rival, who survives in qualifying a couple of points away from relegation.
Fran Escribá team urgently needed a victory. The 5 consecutive defeats, something unprecedented in Getafe since joining First Division, forced the dark blue box to add up all the points. The pressure began to surround the players and there was little margin for error.
Opposite they found a brave team, Celta, which, unlike others who arrived at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez with the idea of ​​himself in his area, he practiced that open football has taught for almost the entire course.
That came in handy to Getafe, costing horrors open opposition defenses.When you get stuck in the middle attacker task, resources are scarce for a club that needs more goal, one of the endemic problems in recent years.
With open and eager to play one on one game, Getafe, with many playmakers up as Victor Rodriguez, Wanderson, Alvaro Vazquez and Pablo Sarabia, Celta owner of the first part and almost every occasion was made.
Pedro Leon on the bench as the main sacrificed for Escribá after the bad batch of results, and Karim Yoda on the left side (Uruguayan Alvaro Pereira finally not entered the call), the Madrid side won in overflow and creativity and he could go to rest ahead on the scoreboard.
In all, he had four occasions by Celta: first, the center Yoda minutes into the game, finished the crossbar of the goal Celta; later, a shot Sarabia, present in almost all actions of danger, Sergio Alvarez saved the goalkeeper; Juan Rodríguez tried it unsuccessfully from outside the area and finally Alvaro finished off a pass from evil Victor Rodriguez when he was whole goal for him.
Celta was a spectator explosion Getafe and, just before the break could leave the locker room with an unfair advantage, but was unable Bongonda with a very clear head when he was alone in front of Vicente Guaita.
That was the epilogue of a period that was Getafe, whose domain is evaporated in the second half, when men began Berizzo alert and mobile hard the second act. Celta took the ball and soon arrived opportunities.
The first, and the clearest, went back to Bongonda, which was about to score the first goal with a volley with his left leg Yoda pulled under the goal of Guaita. Then, after one of Sarabia, he tried the Chilean Fabian Orellana fired a rocket that took as Getafe goalkeeper could.
This time preceded both Nolito, which tactics to replace Guidetti and practically, in one of his first appearances, headed the only goal.
Getafe tried in vain to avoid their sixth straight loss and after a good first half, finished with opportunism defeated Nolito for Celta, which keeps intact its chances of playing in Europe next season. On the other side, the team Escribá was very touched and touches the relegation zone.

Athletic in advantage, because of Valencia's errors

A balanced match their colours dyed with Athletic in seven minutes .Valencia and the Basque side went evenly matched in everything, even in the gray suit at times, yes, more alive in the first moments after the restart.But when the story focused towards the last leg, Athletic took three defensive horrors (Gayá first, then Parejo and then between Madrid and André Gomes) local to knock them out. Sabin Merino, Muniain and Adúriz they mauled the Mestalla . The defeat of Neville deflate it evolved over the past fortnight. And in the league ten points to Europe are complicated, although the Athletic Sevilla points to sixth. The anteroom of the tie between Valencia and Bilbao in the Europa League condemned the Bianconeri in seven minutes.
Muscle, centrocampismo and the strength of the defenses regarding attacks drew a first time insipid in Mestalla. Surely more than an act like coaches, as their teams showed solvency back, but not so the beholder, always anxious to see goals. And to achieve there were two actions especially in the first act, slightly sprinkled by rain.
The first one had the Valencia. Cheryshev, who more depth gave his team won the left side and center to the far post he came to Negredo . Vallecano striker was alone. Time and space simply to choose the next shot. But he sought to break and incomprehensibly ended the ball over the crossbar of Iraizoz . Minutes later came the Athletic. Muniain drove to the center of the front of the Valencia area, De Marcos helped him with the drag of central and shot looking to the left post Alves went out.
There were no major trouble for goalkeepers, because on the lawn of Mestalla football tangled concentrated in the wide area. The Parejo and André Gomes (it had a strong start) and Beñat and Mikel Rico failed to organize the offensive play Valencia and Athletic respectively. One closed the first half with little presence in the areas . Noble duel between Valencia and Basque. Perhaps with too much respect at times.

Animated resumption

He tried to encourage history Valencia in the second half. More strength and prominence in their stadium. Cheryshev and Andre Gomes stoked the matter. And they sought to deepen. At the time, the whole valencianista best handled with the ball and he looked Athletic problems in recovery efforts.Cheryshev tested Iraizoz and Road 55, were Basques who replied with a vertical action that ended with the ball in Sabin Merino, who sought satin left post of Alves , who palmed to repel a ball that went into a network.
He left well in offensive key start the second act. It generated controversy an action in which André Gomes centered to the far post, headed in Negredo although difficult angle and the ball hit the arm Etxeita. It could be a penalty.Passed the hour mark , and already Alcacer in the field, Iraizoz saved the locals. She cooked a combined played on Valencia, which ended with a pass into the space between the central for the Valencia striker, whose shot, which was not good, forced Iraizoz to clear, avoiding both local .

Seven minutes three errors

The Athletic was getting even local. And he returned a phase of centrocampismo, although the Basques progressed more insistently. He moved his bench Valverde. He took the time to San Jose and Adúriz , which gave air after the European tie against Marseille, and the plan worked Atletico coach. Fixed the local defence more Adúriz. And he had a chance to kick a corner, but the shot of Etxeita hit his head on the front, a clearance from the goal of Alves instead.
Valencia CF mistakes cost three goals for Athletic. First, San Jose recovered before a Gayá fallón and Basque centrocamista gave continuity arriving by the right side, focusing roundly and Sabin Merino finished off inpecable head . He condemned after his team Parejo . Madrid wanted to make a frivolity with the ball in the danger zone and lost to Mikel Rico, which enabled action for Muniain Internase and batiese below Alves legs . The ruling came ten at the end. In a corner. André Gomes and Parejo is hindered and left the way clear for Adúriz rematase freely for 0-3 . There already finished the story ten minutes to finish.

Data sheet:

Valencia: Diego Alves; Cancelo, Mustafi, Santos, Gayá; Enzo Pérez (Piatti, 76 m.), Parejo, Andre Gomes; Santi Mina, Cheryshev (Feghouli, M.70) and Negredo (Paco Alcacer, m. 58).

Barca continues its way to the second triplet followed

Judging Barcelona in terms of if he plays well or play bad is to use a concept of backward screen. Barcelona knows what he wants and knows how to get it . I was one of those who ridiculed Luis Enrique at first, and I called donkey. I could not have been more wrong. 

This man has improved Guardiola as Guardiola improved to Cryuff. But if Pep ended up collapsing the team with his narcissism, Luis Enrique, with his afinadísimo competitive spirit, he understands that his only vanity is to win and knows how to squeeze every moment its resources. That's why old lost in pointless discussions about whether Barca play well or badly. The club competes only with himself and does what he needs to do to achieve their goals. That does not mean you can not have a bad day, and lose any game, but we must understand that the ambition of the team goes beyond the anecdotal and is ditctando footballing categories of the century.

Neymar started with very decorative dribbles games that did not have any consequences. It was curious that Barcelona played with two side invented by the visiting coach, because neither Aleix and Alba had played in this position until Unai Emery trained them. Competitive Sevilla , evenly matched first few minutes. Kolo had it 7 minutes, at the exit of a corner.

At 11, Bravo canceled a counterattack out brilliantly with his chest. In the 12th, also superb, Sergio Rico rejected a shot coming from Luis Suarez . But in the 13 we saw the first marvel of the night. He left boots Messi, who tried the Olympic goal that Coke could avoid head at the last millimeter. Rejection repelled the post and Suarez from outside the box knocked the crossbar. Perhaps some believe to try an Olympic goal is a lack of respect, as Lambrettas Neymar criticize him. I always think that talent is never offensive and that is mediocre rage generated impotence. If only the world were those queuing and conform to gender, we would not have left the cave.

But Sevilla is Sevilla and Krhon-Dehli meritorious career he served an exact center to Vitolo fusilara Bravo . Very good Emery at 3 to 2, with Iborra, Tremoulinas and Krohn-Dehli. 0 to 1, 20 minutes.

Ten minutes later, Rami was booked for a foul on the edge of the area that Messi, above the barrier and without Sergio Rico could not see her, she slipped on goal from the right escuarda. Ovation and bows in the stands; it was no wonder . We are fortunate to live in the era of genius. If everyone was at their level , Cristiano would play UEFA.

Sevilla, very physical, enduring, but the party was controlling the club.

The second half started with a portentous Sergio Rico avoiding a goal sung Neymar. But he could do nothing against Sevilla Messi and Suarez, who worked a play that did not exist for the finish off Pique and his team the lead. 3. In the 5th minute, accurate sevillista combination that ended with a shot from close range that Bravo Gameiro rejected in a memorable intervention. In 9, eleven Sergio Rico again rejected a Whiplash Busquets. Very, very good this guy: with only 22 years, kept his team in the match. Emery was brave and risked replacing Cristóforo by Konoplyanka. This Sevilla'll quickly see and never gives up .

In the same minute, he entered Iniesta by Arda . Bello recognition of Messi, ceding the captain 's armband. Neymar dribbled greatly 24 Rami, who was needed, but perhaps enough to whistle a penalty. Emery doubled the bet and Juan Muñoz came through Iborra.

Visitor remarkable pride that had a chance to finish. But Barcelona knows what he wants, knows how to get it, and his game is a prototype of football over the years go by molding the other teams in the world, until it is widespread footballing aesthetics of our century. While all this comes, its superiority is indisputable.
