The La Liga title race will go right down to the wire after both Real Madrid and Barcelona
picked up all three points on Saturday. The Blaugranas are just a point ahead of Los Blancos who
have both incidentally smashed the leagues points tally of 92 which was set in 1997 by Fabio
Capello's Madrid.
Squad Profiles are available for each of the twenty clubs currently playing football in
the Spanish top flight. They are an overview of each club and specifically denote players to highly
consider selecting for your side. Others have been ear-marked to watch out for as they may be new
to La Liga or returning from injury.

over him and reacted. Following the challenge, Villa punched the defender as he was walking away in
which did not go unseen.

(he thought) Wenger went wrong in the last five years. Well now he is offering solutions that may
help the Arsenal manager fix the defensive problems he should have sorted out some time ago......
Defensive Holes need plugging!
