But the goal came too late and Barcelona didn't give Valladolid any chance in stoppage time.
In the end, Barcelona defeated Valladolid with a score of 2-1 and did not open up the gap to Malaga.
Barcelona's victory did not affect Málaga's preparations, and they knew that no one could stop Barca's determination to win the title.
A very meaningful thing happened in this game.
Valdés was given the green light by the medical team ahead of Barcelona's match against Valladolid, recovering from a calf muscle injury in his left foot and getting the start.
The match was Valdés' 500th official appearance for Barcelona.
But this one could also mean his farewell.
Valdés played for Barcelona for 11 years since he was sent by Louis van Gaal in the Champions League on 14 August 2002, making 500 official appearances for Barcelona in those 11 years.
These 500 matches are made up of 360 La Liga games, 12 Copa del Rey games, 109 Champions League games, 19 other matches.
Valladolid's penalty kicked past Valdés, bringing his career La Liga total to 300.
Valdés conceded 300 goals in 360 La Liga games, an average of 0.83 goals per game, the lowest goal conceded rate among Barcelona goalkeepers who have appeared in more than 100 games.
Valdés has won a total of 20 trophies for Barcelona, including six La Liga titles, three Champions Leagues, two Copa del Rey titles, five Spanish Super Cups, two UEFA Super Cups and two Club World Cups. Valdés has also won the La Liga Goalkeeper of the Year award five times.
Valdés' contract expires on 30 June 2014, but he has already stated that he will not renew his contract with Barca.
If nothing else, Valdés will move away this summer.
A generation of legendary Barcelona goalkeepers is ready to leave Camp Nou.
Speaking to the media after the game, Barcelona coach Vilanova said about the Bernabeu game: "Real Madrid failed to defend their home glory, which I didn't expect before the game.
I think Real Madrid deserve at least a draw, if not if they can't beat Malaga at the Bernabeu.
However, the victory in Malaga did not have much impact on us, and we were mentally prepared for the final showdown!
The title race is not over yet, we will continue to fight for the La Liga title!
No one can stop us from winning the championship! ”
He answered what fans and journalists were most concerned about: "Messi is actively recovering and he will return!" With his return, Barça's squad will be even more neat. ”
As for Real Madrid's defeat in the Copa del Rey final, Mourinho was sent off the pitch, and Vilanova did not talk about it.
Whether it is in terms of fame and qualifications, there is a big gap between him and Mourinho.
He went to comment on Real Madrid's defeat and Mourinho, and he was bound to be attacked by fans and the media.
……
Since the beginning of the 33rd round, four rounds have been played, and Malaga has won all of them, but still has not been able to open up the gap with Barcelona.
Barcelona are still strong, at least in La Liga.
The race for the La Liga title this season has come to an end.
The 37th round of La Liga matches will start this weekend.
At the same time, the Champions League final, which has attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of fans this weekend, will also be played at Wembley Stadium in London!
The Champions League final has nothing to do with La Liga teams, who have their focus on La Liga.
Malaga and Barcelona are battling La Liga titles, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are fighting for the Champions League, and teams in the relegation zone are battling relegation......
Only the teams in the middle of the table are relaxed.
The opponent of the 37th round of Malaga is a team that is going to be relegated - Deportivo La Coruna!
Deportivo are now in second to bottom with 35 points, and with only two games left in La Liga, they must win all of them to have any chance of life.
Before the game, the media thought that Málaga had little problem winning at home, and Deportivo La Coruna had too many problems this season, with the defensive line like a colander, coupled with the weakness of the striker, which eventually fell to the present.
Coming to Pellegrini did not disparage his opponents, speaking to the media before the game: "Deportivo La Coruna have fallen to relegation this season, but fans who know their history know that this is a great team. ”
Barcelona will also stage a city derby against Espanyol in this round.
The Spaniards are said to be a team that the Madrid government has propped up against Barcelona.
At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 26th, Barcelona's away match against Espanyol was launched at the Cornea-Eprat Stadium!
Once the match began, the Spaniards were the first to attack.
Espanyol striker Berdou crosses from a free kick and former Barcelona academy striker Sergio Garcia grabs a header in front of the goal!
Soccer ball misses the goal!
In the following game, Barcelona took over the game and put pressure on the Espanyol defence.
In the fourteenth minute of the first half, Barcelona played a wonderful combination on the left side, and after Sanchez kicked the wall with Villa, he regained control of the football at his feet and cut into the left side of the penalty area.
Sanchez shook Raul Rodriguez with a feint and shot hard in the box!
The soccer ball flies into the goal from the bottom left corner of the goal!
1 to 0!
In the next game, the Spaniards were in front of goal.
In the twentieth minute of the second half, Messi came on as a substitute to find a feeling for the final round.
In the thirty-second minute of the second half, Messi broke through with the ball from the left side and hit the arc of the penalty area, and Espanyol defender Raul Rodriguez made a flying tackle!
Messi fell to the ground!
Raul Rodriguez is sent off with a red card.
In the end, Messi was carried off the pitch on a stretcher!
Barcelona fans have extremely ugly faces!
Messi has just recovered from injury, is the injury serious this time?
After being examined by the Barcelona team doctor, Messi was directly carried into the medical car and rushed to the hospital for a detailed examination.
Messi's departure did not affect Barcelona's final victory.
In the 41st minute of the second half, Pedro volleyed from the left side of the penalty area after cooperating with Xavi to kick the wall!
Two to zero!
Barcelona won the game as they wished!
But there is a haze in Barcelona's heart, because Messi's injury is unknown!
The next morning, Barcelona's official website released Messi's injury: Messi injured his left leg and will rest for two weeks!
This means that Messi will not be able to participate in the most important championship battle! Please keep in mind: Lily, URL mobile version PC version, Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
