Another top drawer game in the late kick-off.

10 man Atlético come back from 2-0 down to beat Espanyol with the winner coming from Forlan in the 2nd minute of injury time.

Atlético/Valencia next week in what is almost a shoot-out for 4th place and a shot at the Champions League.

Espanyol should still be safe. Big win for Getafe over Osasuna gives them a large step towards safety. Almeria's good form continues as they move into the top half.

Sounds like i missed a good game cant believe i turned it over

and so misses both cup finals

Scandalous surely they should appeal although i dont really know how it works in spain, but if Man utd can suddenly appeal Fletchers red surely they can do the same for his against his against Chelsea?

from what ive heard barça know what the rules are and so see no point in appealing.

Scandalous conduct from Perea on Sunday. Hope he gets a lengthy ban for that thuggery.

Great goal from Forlan. Barcelona really chucked it away as well, bet Guardiola was furious.

iniesta fit for champions final.
chica says he'll never forgive perea (dirty swine).
who was the sevilla defender who took arango out a few seasons ago? that was one of the worst things i've seen on a football pitch

Good for them shows confidence in the rest of there squad

you wouldn't be saying that if you'd seen the reaction to iniesta's injury scare. they were having kittens!

That was 'the dentist' Javi Navarro.

Should be a good game on Wednesday night. Interesting to see the Spanish FA are going to play the National anthem at record decibel levels and install speakers all around the Mestalla. With two "non-spanish" teams in the final, they're afraid of it being drowned out by a chorus of boos otherwise.

that's the one, cheers mate




the spanish fa are cacking themsleves. there are rumours they're worried there won't be a single spanish flag in the crowd.
20,000 people turned up to watch athletic train on sunday!!


AUPA ATHLETI!!!!!

Less likely than seeing a St George's cross at a Liverpool - Everton FA Cup final.

Maybe the Barca fans will unveil one of their famous Catalonia is not Spain banners, with Athleti holding an adjoining one saying "and neither is the Basque Country"

Flo Perez to announce his intention to become President of Real Madrid on thursday. SUPRISE.

worst kept secret since the rumour about ronaldo liking the odd pie

Only at Real Madrid would such a disastrous president get a second shot. He'll fire the blameless Juande Ramos and recruit some ghastly 'galacticos' and be shocked when they don't win anything.

Indeed, Barca are nailed on for the next few years if they re-appoint this clown.

Still if Ramos fancies heading to the South of the City to wreak some revenge after he gets the boot I won't be too disappointed.

Is the Final on the telly anywhere? I cannot seem to see any listing?

athletic came out on fire but seemed to sit back after their goal.
1-1 at half time, but barça finished the 1st half much the stronger team.
and messi scores

athletic have been very, very disappointing
... and bojan scores

Finished yet?

just under 30 mins left, but can't see athletic getting back into this one.....

4-1 now, Xavi free-kick.

25 minutes left.
