Liga - Sevilla, Barca's next victim?

Lionel Messi, executioner Arsenal in the Champions League, FC Barcelona and travel to Seville at the 28th day to get a little closer to their third championship in Spain in a row, while Real Madrid receives Hercules Alicante Saturday without Cristiano Ronaldo, preserved.

The figures speak for themselves. After 27 games in La Liga, Barca scored highest in all areas: seven points ahead of Real, 24 wins (against 21 at Real), one defeat (two for Real, whose correction is received at Camp Nou 5 -0) and two draws (against 4), 78 goals scored (65) and conceded only 13 of (20)! If Cristiano Ronaldo has managed 27 goals like Messi at Barca there is also Villa (17), Pedro (13) or Iniesta (7). At Real, however, that there are only seven goals in Benzema, the other gunner, Higuain is still recovering from his injury in November 2010 and its operation in January.
"The key to the match is to be concentrated for 90 minutes trying to impose our game, but it will not be easy," Caceres said, referring to Trident "MVP" Messi, Villa Pedro, capable of winning a part alone. Beat Athletic Bilbao at during the previous day, Sevilla, 8, has nevertheless an urgent need of points to hang on to European markets.
Saturday night, facing the misclassified Hercules Alicante, Real Madrid will evolve without Cristiano Ronaldo, injured his left thigh during the match against Malaga on March 3 and preserved by Jose Mourinho to play against Lyon. "Cristiano will play Wednesday, but if the match took place on Saturday, it would not be at 100%. He will practice Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and I think he will be ready to play," said the Portuguese coach in conference press.
Mourinho has also decided to blow his defender Ricardo Carvalho. The French Lassana Diarra, who turned 26 Thursday, made his return to the contrast group after his match suspension. But Mourinho could continue in midfield Estaban Granero, excellent in the match against Santander. Finally, Valencia, 3rd, will soon forget his disposal C1 to Schalke and will make him pay a heavy price in Zaragoza, 17th just one point above the relegation zone.
