Real Madrid And Barcelona Lose, Chelsea Win With Refs Help, Title Won in Germany
It was an eventful weekend in the world of football. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona managed to lose in the same weekend (I wonder when the last time was that this happened?). Chelsea put serious pressure on Manchester United, who lost to Arsenal on Sunday, by beating Spurs with two questionable goals. In Germany, Borussia Dortmund clinched the German Bundesliga title this weekend with a 2-0 win over Nürnberg while in Italy, AC Milan are within touching distance of claiming their league after a 1-0 triumph against Bologna.
Chelsea beat Spurs 2-1 with goals from Lampard and Kalou. Both goals were questionable: Lampard’s never fully crossed the line, and Kalou was offsides when the ball was played to him just before he scored. This put pressure on United to pick up at least a point at Arsenal and further dampened Spurs hopes of returning to the Champions League next season as it is looking like Manchester City will take their place. I think Spurs will have a difficult time keeping their best players in the transfer window if they don’t qualify for the Champions League.
Manchester United visited Arsenal on Sunday with only a three-point lead over Chelsea, who they face next weekend. United lost the game 1-0 due to both a good Arsenal performance and a bad United one. They looked nothing like the side that easily beat Schalke on Tuesday and have to win or tie next weekend against Chelsea to remain at the top of the table. It is going to be a very interesting end to the season in the Premier League, that is for sure!
I’m confident ManU will pull through this weekend with at least a draw…it’s a tough week for them with Champion’s League as well, but Chich will see to it and you know Rooney will always be up for as big game (here’s hoping he keeps a lid on his temper).
manU is sure win against chelsea or even a draw will make them automatic winners, they ill do that by playing massive attack, massive defence and compact midfield. if not they kiss a good bye 2 a premier league this season
