Real Valladolid 0 - 3 Barcelona
(0-1) 20' Xavi, (0-2) 22' Dani Alves, (0-3) 54' Messi

which saw them reach 23 goals away from home. A breathtaking break saw Xavi put
them infront before a cross-come-shot from Alves put them further ahead two minutes later.
Parabens to Alvaro Negredo who has had a great, great week with Sevilla! And
thanks to his solitary goal against Almeria last night, he helped Los palanganas climb out

against Deportivo in the midweek Copa del Ray clash.
Ooooh, our Sunday Senor from last week has done it again for Sevilla! Aplausos para
Álvaro Negredo and his TWO GOLS against Valencia last night, please! His

What a dramatic turn of events for Alvaro Negredo! Stellar performances from
the past two weeks and a Sunday Señor title (don't you know you get a tub of
Ben & Jerry's for that?!) wasn't enough to tide Alvaro over for another week.
Tipo scored an own goal and got himself sent off last night in Sevilla's 2-1 loss to
Zaragoza.
