Another twist in La Liga as Barca gained 8-points lead over their fierce rivals, Madrid after they defeated Villareal with a narrow win of 1-0! Meanwhile Madrid lost their match shockingly to Sporting 1-0! And not only that, Mourinho’s record of undefeated home league game which he held for 9 years came to an end with this defeat! This is a big setback for the Madrid as they wanted to clinch this title from Barca who are heading to their 3rd consecutive La Liga title! Madrid were without Benzema, Ronaldo. However Higuain started this match after a long time due to his recovery from 5-months long injury! Heat really turned on when at 79th minute, De Las broke scored the first goal of the match and gave Sporting the lead! After that Madrid really fought hard in last 8-10 minutes but were unable to get a goal!
On the other hand Barca started without Messi n Xavi and they had a difficult 1st half as Villareal kept attacking Barca. Somehow Barca managed to escape from those attacks most of the times due to excellent keeping of Valdes! Barca lacked their original style of playing soccer and were playing out of order! Prep found it necessary to call Messi thus then he subbed him with Seydou Keita at 53rd minute! It was until 66th minute when Barca broke the dead lock and scored the first goal, thanks to Pique whose right footed shot from very close range to the top left corner gave Catalans the lead! After that the match progressed with normal pace and Barca, as usual, had most of the ball possession!
These results move Barca ahead with the points difference of 8-points with their fierce rivals, Madrid!

NEWS have flourished that Real Madrid have banned the Shakira's songs to play at Bernabeu, and yet they have not released any statement telling the reason for their decision! Reports in the Spanish dailies Marca and AS claim that no songs from the Colombian musician will be played at the ground prior to matches.
No explanation has been given by Madrid but there are suspicions in the Spanish media that this situation has arisen because of Shakira’s relationship with Barcelona defender Gerard Pique. Their romantic relationship has now been made public with photos of the couple making the rounds in the media.
Shakira, though, is a self-confessed Madrid fan and was presented with the number 5 shirt by Florentino Perez during his first tenure as president of the nine-time European champions.

Spanish clubs have demanded that a law which required at least one game a week to be broadcast on terrestrial free-to-air television be revoked. The stoppage will affect both the Primera Division and the Segunda Division, although not all clubs support the move and reports in Spain on Wednesday night said there may be further legal moves by clubs who want to play. Six clubs, Sevilla, Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad, Espanyol and Zaragoza, have asked a court in Madrid to order the games to go ahead.

UEFA announced the draws for the Champions League quarter-finals today and most debatable match of these fixtures will be off course of Chelsea vs Man Utd! It will be the rematch of Champions League final in Moscow three years ago where Man Utd defeated Chelsea in penalties! Chelsea have never had the European glory and the closest they came was that final where Man Utd clinched the win due to the very last penalty where Terry slipped and was unsuccessful to convert it into goal and it cost Chelsea their first ever UEFA Cup! So this time around they will definitely look to avenge Man Utd for that! But given the current run of the both clubs in this season, Chelsea will have to increase their form and really need to turn the tables cuz Man Utd is in terrific form right now!
Meanwhile, spurs are handed over the nine-time UEFA winners, Madrid, for the quarter-final! It will be a very hard job for them through them and given the current level of Madrid, Redknapp really need to apply his tactic correct and wise and beat Mourinho's Lads! Real Madrid have passed to quarter-final after around six years and this time they want to go all the way to the final

The big talk in La Liga last weekend was the first “clasico” of the season. After the humiliating 6-2 defeat from last season, Real Madrid had a great motive for revenge. However, despite playing well, the merengues couldn't solve Victor Valdes and – most notably – Carles Puyol who had a terrific game in defense, blocking several goal-bound shots with timely tackles. At the other end, Barcelona only needed one true opportunity to put the ball past Casillas. Indeed, five minutes after stepping onto the pitch, Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave the winning goal to the blaugrana with a scrumptious volley on Dani Alves' first successful cross of the game.
Hope was restored for the Galacticos when Sergio Busquet was sent off after his second yellow card but Barcelona continued to play as if nothing had changed. Pellegrini's decision to sacrifice a defender for another forward prompted Guardiola to enter Yaya Toure in the heart of the midfield but in the end, the change didn't seem to matter much as Lassana Diarra was also sent off for a second yellow card
