The result that has stood out in Europe this weekend… Manchester United 3 - 0 Chelsea!! A lesson taught
in football by Sir Alex’s team to Scolari’s men who have now won only two of their last eight Premiership games, and also have managed only 1 point out of a possible 12 against the other teams of the so called ‘Big Four’. While the Blues are no way out of the title race, but the question that will be asked after Sunday’s disastrous show would be whether they are worthy of lifting the title. Manchester United, on the other hand, could overtake Liverpool by a point of they can win the two games in-hand. With Liverpool’s draw at the Britannia Stadium and the on-going saga between the two managers, this is a battle that could get snappier as time goes by and nerves start cracking. Still a long way to go…
Barcelona displayed their perseverance and doggedness, in a season that has so far been defined by their elegance and effortless style of football, in the away game against Osasuna where they rallied from 2-1 down to win the game 3-2, with Messi scoring a brilliant goal in the 85th minute. Real Madrid’s 3-0 win at Mallorca keeps them 12 points adrift of Barcelona while a 3-3 draw between Villareal and Valencia drops them off the pace a bit. In Italy, despite David Beckham’s debut in a Milan shirt, Roma managed to keep AC Milan at bay and held them to a 2-2 draw. Juventus reduced the gap at the top to 4 points with a 1-0 win against Siena as Inter Milan needed Ibrahimovic to come to their rescue to snatch a point against Cagliari. Jose Mourinho was later spotted at Old Trafford on Sunday watching his former club take on his current club’s next Champions League opponents. Mourinho sure knows how to get himself noticed!
In the French Ligue One, Lyon’s draw meant that Bordeaux reduced the lead at the top to just a single point with a convincing 4-0 victory against PSG. Celtic continue their surge in the Scottish Cup with a 2-1 win against Dundee. No surprises there! With Bundesliga still on a winter break, that’s a wrap of the week’s action. Mid-week drama could unfold as in-form Wigan travel to Old Trafford to keep the BPL title race exciting!
