Madrid within Reach for Barca

Real Madrid’s draw against Villarreal has helped Barcelona to get closer to the title decreasing the gap from 10 points to 6. The whites conceded a late free-kick to draw for the second time in a week.

The 62nd minute opening of Cristiano Ronaldo went in vain as Real Madrid succumbed to the pressure of Villarreal’s attacks. In 82nd minute Marcos Senna curled the ball so fine that it was beyond Casillas reach. The fans were shocked & saddened by this surprising defeat.

Real who is on verge to stop the Barcelona’s dream run to clinch title for the consecutive fourth time climbed to 72 points, 6 clear of the Catalan giants.

It looks like the worst is not over as the manager Jose Mourinho was sent off along with Sergio Ramos & Mesut Ozil. The unavailability of the two players will have a profound effect on Real’s team Selection for the remaining ten matches.

Tension & frustration were clearly visible on Cristiano Ronaldo’s face as the opponents fired up & caused difficulties for Real players. The pressure is rising on his shoulder to take his tally beyond Messi’s reach but the argentine is setting new records in every other day, making it impossible for Ronaldo to catch him.

With equal number of matches in hand, the Primera Liga is set for a nail-biting final engagement of the two all time rivals.  Perhaps it’s time to test the endurance, patience & competence of these two all time powerhouses.
