carrera en Liga).
Barcelona might have won the latest el clasico, but it is Real Madrid who are threatening to run
away with the La Liga title.
Real Madrid are now seven points clear at the top of the Liga after their 3-1 win over bottom
side Real Zaragoza while Barcelona's poor away form continued as they were held to a scoreless draw
at Villarreal.
SPANISH FOOTBALL action tonigt with four matches of Round 21 played of the SPANISH LEAGUE. Here is
a run down of all the main events, scorers & the final scores. Fernando Llorente Madrid Club RAYO
VALLECANO played a good match but lost 2 - 3 to ATHLETIC CLUB BILBAO with an inspired FERNANDO

Real Madrid came from behind to beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu to preserve their

potential champions.

victory over 10-man Athletic Bilbao that kept them five points clear at the top of the Primera

in the first leg of their cup quarter-final tie when Fernando Llorente gave them an early lead.
Liverpool's interest in Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente is well documented, with the
Spanish striker recently confirming that representatives from the club 'came to Bilbao' to
negotiate a possible transfer. Liverpool still seem to be interested in Llorrente, but that
interest now only seems to be one way.

Very interesting news emerging from Paris. PSG Coach Carlo Ancelotti is claiming that he has
been offered Chelsea striker Fernando Torres. Of course Chelsea have maintained that Torres is not
for sale so there is a very high likelihood that the deal won't go through.
That said, with notable Chelsea strikers Drogba and Kalou having linked up with their national
side for the African Cup of Nations, Torres has been gifted the perfect opportunity to prove
himself.

"I may look like Herbert Lom but I'm not mad - Torres could be at PSG. Why not?"
When you have been offered millions of euros to play in the transfer market what is not there to
like in your job? PSG driven by bottomless money (well, until the world turns completely to green
sources of energy which won't happen for the next 25 years) is now the black hole of football's
existence.
While Loic Remy may not be available until the end of the season, if you believe PSG's new
manager Carlo Ancelotti, there are a number of options this month in the striking department for
Spurs to consider.
Big spending PSG attract a lot of attention at the moment and when quizzed about possible
targets, Ancelotti gave reporters a list of names that are supposedly being touted around clubs by
their agents.

Paris-bound?
Filthy stinking rich and proud of it, Paris St Germain are now loaded enough to bid for any
player on the planet, courtesy of the Qatar Investment Authority. And, according to new boss Carlo
Ancelotti, the agents of some of the Premier League's most high-profile strikers have been beating
down his door, looking to secure their clients a lucrative contract in the French capital.
Liverpool are continuing their hunt for firepower – with Spain striker Fernando...
Liverpool desperately need a new striker, and Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente is once again
being linked with a move to Anfield. What are the chances of a transfer actually going ahead in
January?One thing is for sure: Liverpool have definitely been interested in the played in the past,
as Llorente told Radio Marca a few months ago: "Liverpool came to Bilbao and spoke with the club,
but it

How can anyone dare to question the abilities of my favourite Satay House fan Benoît Pierre
David Assou-Ekotto? Not to be confused with the wife and child killing wrestler Chris Benoit,
Assou-Ekotto has been one of our best players this season as far as I'm concerned. That is in
addition to having the world's biggest head of hair and saying 'lol satay house' on the majority of
his tweets.
Fernando Llorente gave us his best 'come hither' look as he modeled the official suits for Athletic
Bilbao, designed by Fuentecapala. You can drool some more courtesy of the photo shoot images posted
on his facebook page. Image Credit: Fernando Llorente.
One of the Spanish cities we hope to visit soon is Bilbao, for their fantastic
architecture, sights and obviously, the Semana Grande (which happens every August and is
one big fieeeesta!) The Athletic Bilbao team unveiled their "official
suits" in a ceremony at the city's famous Guggenheim museum yesterday, which is an outfit
consisting of a charcoal-gray suit spun delicately from Merino wool, a white poplin cotton shirt,
silk tie with black stripes in red and grey, a pearl belt and shoes with rubber soles made of black
leather.
In name it's only a friendly but when any world champion rolls up to Wembley everybody watching
can be sure it will be anything but. Spain, FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship winners,
are rightly considered the best team in contemporary international football. Some even consider
this Spanish side to be the best international team that has ever played the game.
Feliz viernes! The Spanish National Team finally unveiled their
FIERY Euro 2012 camisetas nuevas in Las Rozas, Madrid a few
hours ago. The red tones have been dramatically emphasized to match the country's national colours
while the blue stripes on the sleeves from last season have also been removed.
Ahead of Saturday's friendly between England and Spain, In The Stands looks back to the pair's last
match where goals by David Villa and Fernando Llorente sealed an easy 2-0 win for the hosts. David
Villa and Fernando Llorente were the heroes for Spain as they brushed aside a feeble English threat
in a resounding [.

It was one for the ages, as Barcelona and Atletic Bilbao battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw under
torrential rain in Spain's Basque Country.
Despite the gloomy conditions and sodden pitch, Barca were able to quickly settle into their
grove, stringing together passes and creating chances.
Fans sing there's "No One like El Loco Bielsa" as Athletic Bilbao head to the Camp
Nou
When Barcelona kickoff against Athletic Bilbao, all eyes will be on 24-year-old Lionel Messi.
Standard, really. However, for another Argentine from Rosario, namely 56-year-old Marcelo "El Loco"
Bielsa, this could be a defining moment in his first season as the manager of Athletic.

Fernando Llorente (´67 ´71) y
Toquero, Athletic de
Bilbao se impuso (3-0) al Atlético Madrid en San Mamés para ponerse 8º en la Liga (12
puntos).
En un partido que tuvo pasajes nivelados, Athletic alternó momentos de dominio y aprovechó las
desinteligencias del fondo colchonero.

You lot have been so moody this week! First, your response to Christine Bleakley's new fitness
DVD can only be described as 'mixed', then you disturbed us by referring to Andre Villas Boas as a
'ginger stallion', before taking serious exception to Revista Cuore's assertion that The
Ramosâ„¢ is ugly.

24.10.2011 - Un profundo estiletazo de
Ever Banega con definición de
Roberto
Soldado en el minuto 88 (1-1) impidió que el Athletic de Bilbao se llevase un triunfo de
Valencia.
Los vascos fueron superiores, dominaron gran parte del partido y vencÃan con gol de Iker Munian
(´71) pero el saldo no fue el mejor: al empate se le suma la lesión del capitán Carlos Gurpegui
(rotura del ligamento cruzado anterior para 7 meses de ausencia) y de Fernando Llorente
(tendinitis).
You gotta agree with us when we say that 'In the Air' photos of footballers
trying to score from headers or deflect a ball are brilliant! Fernando Llorente
looks like he's raving up there in mid-air, but maybe he was just trying to secure all 3 points for
Bilbao against Valencia in their 1-1 draw last night.
Raul, one of the Spanish NT trainers, got up close and personal with Javi Martinez? Fernando
Llorente? Oh what does it matter, you're too busy feasting your eyes and not reading already. Image

In which Real Sociedad defender Inigo Martinez (i.e, the fella that scored that audicious
30-yard, volleyed own-goal for the Spain U21s not so very long ago) arches one in from
diiiiiiiiiiiiiiistance against Athletic Bilbao a goal which staunch Sociedad supporter Xabi Alonso
(a man that knows a fair bit about scoring from one's own half) subsequently labelled the 'greatest
goal ever scored at the Anoeta Stadium'.
What's this tipos,... Black Sunday?! No, it's just
Madrid and Barca fighting it out in black to see who comes up tops in the Spanish
league! And they're both tied in first spot with Levante after a 4-0 (Madrid)
and 1-0 (Barca) victory respectively.
