Who else but Fernando Torres to put the final nail in Barcelona’s Champions League coffin?
LAST NIGHT IN LA LIGA: Two footballers very much enjoyed here at futbolgrande had contrasting nights in Pamplona. Football Manager hero Raul Garcia continues to extinguish- or going some way to doing so- memories of his form at his parent club Atleti with a brace as Osasuna beat NINE man Espanyol 2-0. One of the departed was Phillipe Coutinho, on loan from Inter, a young man with a very bright future. In our eyes at least.
Also last night, Barca cut the gap to just ONE point ahead of tonight’s El Derbi with a 4-0 hammering of Getafe. Alexis, Messi, Alexis, Pedro went the scoring. The battle of the ‘Reals’ ended 1-1. Carlos Vela gave Sociedad the lead in San Sebastian before Ruben Castro earned Betis a quite credible draw.
