Chapter 943: Widening the Score and Narrowing the Gap

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Mestalla Stadium erupted in a loud cheer that seemed to tremble slightly throughout the stadium.

"It's over, it's over! Valencia beat Barcelona 5-3 at the Mestalla Stadium with a hat-trick and two assists at home to double Barcelona in a season, thus extending the gap between them from four to seven points, which will be a huge help to Valencia's road to the league title in the new season......

At the same time, the commentator He Wei gave the closing speech of the game.

"Congratulations to Valencia for winning Barcelona at home, their results in 26 rounds are 24 wins, 2 draws and 74 points, while the second-placed Barcelona is 22 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses and 67 points, which means that Valencia has expanded the points to 7 points, and there is a lot of room for adjustment when there are only 12 rounds left in the league......"

Standing on the sideline, David Villa and David Silva rushed into the field as soon as possible to enjoy the victory of the game with everyone.

The live director locked the camera on Iroh, as the best player of the game, he should have such treatment.

At the same time, there were also reporters from various countries in the press gallery, who were already preparing countless questions for Iroh to answer.

At this moment, no one noticed the lost Barcelona players, let alone Messi, who played almost as well as Iello in this game.

He was lying on the turf at the end of the game, gasping for air, and he was 12 percent combative.

What makes him feel powerless is that even if he plays 12 per cent, there is no way to help the team win on the road.

In another big game later in the game, Real Madrid beat their opponents and narrowed their points to Barcelona by one point, which will be a huge help for them to host Barcelona in the national derby no matter what they do.

Cristiano Ronaldo played a crucial role in Real Madrid's opening goal, but to the disadvantage of Real Madrid fans, he didn't score more.

Because in this round of the national derby, Iroh and Messi both scored three goals each.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both have 42 goals, while Iroh has also increased his tally to 37 with six fewer league games, significantly shortening the tally with Cristiano Ronaldo.

The European mainstream media has paid special attention to this, because Iello set a record of 49 goals in a single season in La Liga in the 2006-2007 season, and now Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have both scored 42 goals in the league in 26 rounds.

And Iro, the protector of La Liga's single-season record, also scored 37 goals, just 12 goals short of his single-season scoring record, and according to Iro's current form, averaging a goal per game in the rest of the season is not a problem at all.

Coupled with the fact that this number of goals was completed by him with six games less, it is even more admirable, because Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were both surpassed by Ailo in the Qatar Asian Cup.

If Iello hadn't played in the Asian Cup, he would now have a good chance of setting a new La Liga single-season scoring record.

The headline of Valencia Sport said: "Ai's performance was truly breathtaking, and the third national derby of the season was another highlight, with three goals and two assists, beating Messi, who scored a hat-trick, to help Valencia beat Barcelona to win the game, thus widening the gap between them to seven points." ”

It is worth mentioning that Ai's three goals in this game took his tally to 37 goals this season, just five goals away from Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who are the top scorers in the league...... You must know that the difference of five goals is completed in six rounds of Ai Shaosai, which is a lot of disadvantages compared to Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who participated in all 26 rounds of the league......"

"If nothing else, this season's La Liga title belongs to Valencia, and the league top scorer belongs to our king - Ai!"

In fact, the probability is very high, and Valencia will only have Real Madrid, Sevilla and Villarreal left with three tough bones in the remaining 12 league games, and all three games are played at home, which means that the odds of winning are the highest.

In this regard, the Madrid media newspaper Marca admitted this: "There is no doubt that when Valencia beat Barcelona at the Mestalla Stadium, the league title has basically beckoned to Valencia...... Although Real Madrid chased points very well in the second half of the league and kept winning all of them, they were helpless because of the points gap between the two sides, and they will face Barcelona at home after five rounds, and then they will visit Mestalla to challenge Valencia, which in itself has caused problems for Real Madrid's preparations. ”

“…… What is more worth studying is the schedule after the league, if Real Madrid once it emerges from the quarterfinals and enters the semi-finals, it must be distracted from the Champions League semi-finals, and the league naturally cannot take care of it, after all, Real Madrid has hated the 1/8 finals in the past six consecutive seasons, and it is impossible to go hand in hand for the league championship without much hope, affecting the team's combat effectiveness. ”

The next day, the Madrid and Valencian media had almost identical coverage centres, but not the Catalan press, with the headline of Barcelona's mouthpiece, Daily Sport, saying: Guarantee Valencia as league champion?

The text said: "If there is a study of the Spanish national derby that ended last night in Mestalla, then there will be some details that the referee has a clear bias in favor of the home team in the decision, the most controversial scene is in the 86th minute of the game, when Messi continued to dribble against the last defender of Valencia, but Ai suddenly put a shovel from the side behind, this obvious foul was not recognized by the referee, and indirectly caused Barcelona to concede two goals in a row, What is even more incomprehensible to us is that Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was sent off by the referee directly in the case of an appeal, may I ask...... Is this a fair and just league? ”

Another mainstream media newspaper in Catalonia, Le Monde Sport, also talked about this, and the report even used the misplacement of the camera to mislead the excited Barcelona fans, and used the hype to bombard the Spanish Football Federation.

Even if no changes can be made in this round of fixtures, they hope that the Spanish Football Federation will give Valencia a little trouble in the rest of the league and create conditions for Barcelona to win the league title.

But...... The Spanish Football Association was quick to respond.

There is an analysis of the video in a prominent position on the official website of the Western Football Association, and there are various detailed analyses of the referees, so that it can be determined that the controversial shot of Iroh is not a foul, but a very good ball.

There is also a detailed explanation for Guardiola's red card, and the referee's post-match report said that Guardiola's emotions are obviously out of control, which seriously violates the authority of the referee.

It is accompanied by a cracking video of a lip language expert, and the most eye-catching words are 'dog--' and 'your mother is a-son'.

What didn't Le Monde Sport and Daily Sport didn't want to play was that Pep Guardiola was banned for three matches by the Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation.

This result can be a big deal for Barcelona's hierarchy, as Barcelona will travel to the Estadio Pizjuán to face Sevilla in the next round, and Guardiola's third game of the suspension will be to play Villarreal at the Stadio de la Patio de l'Echo......

Now the league points have been pulled by Valencia to seven points, if there are any points lost, not only is the league championship hopeless, but also the natural rival Real Madrid will overtake the points.

Fortunately, the Spanish Football Federation still allowed Barcelona to appeal, and the specific suspension period will be determined according to Guardiola's statements and evidence.

But Barcelona are destined to have a hard time as they take on Sevilla in the next round and will next host Manchester United in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Barcelona's problems have nothing to do with Ello's Valencia, their league opponent in the 27th round was Mallorca, and they played with a semi-main team with two goals in the second half of the captain Ello, 4-1 against the home team.

With Valencia winning and Ello also netting, all eyes were on Real Madrid and Barcelona, especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Of course, Barcelona's away league challenge against Sevilla is more interesting, and the Pizjuán Stadium is the famous devil's home stadium in La Liga, and this Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is unable to command the game, which must have a very big impact on them.

However, Messi stepped up in Barcelona's toughest moments, and his golden goal helped his side win a hard-fought game against Sevilla on the road.

Real Madrid also won the league in this round of the game, with Cristiano Ronaldo contributing two goals.

Next, all three teams in the Spanish Super Group will focus on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final in midweek, but Valencia and Real Madrid are relatively easy, with a big win in the first leg leaving them with no burden, and with home games, the chances of promotion are infinitely close to 100%.

Only Barcelona are in a bit of a precarious situation, losing 3-2 at Manchester United.

The Reds have more attacking points and more counter-attacking after the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo, which is a concern for Barcelona, who must win Manchester United at home.
