| Spanish champions Barcelona continued their celebrations with a 2-0 win over their struggling local rivals Espanyol on Saturday. Only poor finishing kept the scoreline looking relatively kind to Spanish Cup winners Espanyol, who are only two points above the relegation zone. Barcelona opened the scoring after 19 minutes when Samuel Eto'o sent over a cross that took a deflection, firstly off Espanyol defender Sergio Sanchez and and then the luckless Daniel Jarque, who was credited with the own goal. Ronaldinho then got Barca's second after Espanyol goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz could not hold onto a close-range Henrik Larsson shot. The ball conveniently spun to the feet of the World Cup-bound Brazilian and Ronaldinho danced around Iraizoz before bagging his 19th goal of the season.
Sevilla warmed up for the Uefa Cup final against English Premiership side Middlesbrough on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over bottom club Malaga, who are already relegated. Brazilian striker Renato got Sevilla's opening goal after 17 minutes with a thundering shot from 25 yards. Fernando Sales added Sevilla's second before the final whistle. Second-placed Real Madrid will have Spanish number one goalkeeper Iker Casillas back between the posts for their match against Villarreal on Sunday. Real's penultimate game will also be a Zinedine Zidane's last game in the Santiago Bernabeu after five seasons at the club. | ||
