Like I did last time I have chosen again three games.
The first game is from Primera Division, Barcelona against Valencia. A derby in Spain, that ended with the categorical victory for Barcelona.
Valencia have not lost any game away of all season and was expected to be a difficult game for Barcelona.
In the absence of Eto’o, Henry was allowed to play a more free role in attack and the difference was seen. Henry put up an amazing performance, scoring a hat-trick and marked Barcelona’s 20th game without defeat. Barcelona won the game 4-0 with the goals of Henry and Alves. Their next championship game will be against eternal rivals Real Madrid.
The next game is from Serie A, Lazio against Inter. Probably this is the best game of Inter since Mourinho’s arrival. Inter showed again the power and the efficiency that we used to in the last couple of seasons.
Ibrahimovic had an outstanding match and showed everybody why he is the best paid football player in the world. The game ended with a smashing 3 -0 victory for Inter. The goals were scored by Samuel, Diakite own goal and Ibrahimovic. Inter controlled the game from start to finish showing efficiency both in defence and attack. This is the sixth straight victory for Inter that maintain the six points difference in front of Juventus and Milan.
The third game and in my view the best one is also from Primera, Real Madrid against Sevilla.
Another bad performance for Real Madrid which seems that is not recovering from the bad period. Again the defence proved to be the weakest department. Sevilla were controlling the game and at half-time the score was already 3-1 for them. Adriano, Romaric and Kanoute all scored and gave Sevilla a comanding lead. Raul was the scorer for Real.
The second half was better for Real which managed to equalize after Higuain and Gago goals. It looked like Real could turn the score into their favor, but Robben’s red card set the hosts back and Renato scored a dramatic goal which settled the victory for Sevilla.
An interesting transfer campain is announcing for Real Madrid this winter and Bernd Schuster days at Real are counted. The next game against Barcelona could be decisive for him.
