Milan was blocked by Juventus


AC Milan 1 - 1 Juventus

MILAN - At San Siro it finished Milan-Juventus 1-1 in the Sunday evening match of the 35th matchday of Serie A. The Rossoneri went in front in the 57th minute with Clarence Seedorf's goal, Juventus drew in the 60th minute with Vincenzo Iaquinta's goal.

After a very tactical and blocked first half, the two teams return on the pitch with the same formations. Juventus attacked very well, with Iaquinta and Amauri always dangerous.


Milan does not find spaces where to launch Kaka and Juventus often opt for long balls for the attackers. Only a quick counter attack allowed Milan to take the lead. In fact Inzaghi overcame the offside line in the 57th minute and read very well Ambrosini’s movement who shot weakly. However, Seedorf is good to be on the ball’s trajectory and beat Buffon.


However, the lead of the Rossoneri lasted only four minutes, because Iaquinta, following a perfect cross by Camoranesi, managed to head past Kalac.


The final minutes of the game are authentic and continuous attacks and counter attacks with two teams wanting to make full points. In the 85th minute a nice shot by Pato is rebounded in the penalty area, whereas on the other hand is always very dangerous. Ronaldinho and Pirlo tried, but the three point hit did not arrive.

La Liga: Barca draw against Villareal

Barcelona 3-3 Villareal


Barcelona were made to wait for a first piece of silverware under Pep Guardiola as they let a two-goal lead slip at home to Villarreal in the Primera Liga this evening.

Barca had all but wrapped up the title following last weekend's incredible 6-2 win at Real Madrid, a which result saw the Catalans move seven points clear of their fierce rivals with just four games remaining. And Madrid's 3-0 defeat at Valencia last night meant Guardiola's side could seal their first trophy of what has been an amazing season today.Seydou Keita's deflected effort gave Barca an early lead, and although Joseba Llorente equalised 10 minutes later, the home side took a two-goal lead in at the break thanks to strikes from Samuel Eto'o and Dani Alves.

And they were cruising in the second half until Eric Abidal was dismissed for the second time in five days with 14 minutes left. Mati Fernandez converted the resulting spot-kick and Llorente crashed home a dramatic late equaliser to silence an expectant home crowd deep into injury time.

There was a carnival atmosphere inside a packed Nou Camp as Barca set out to win their first piece of silverware this season.
