UEFA Chelsea i could take Manchester City.

According to a study by the BBC, whose findings were released today, the new regulation would prevent competing in the UEFA Champions League, Europe League in the two English clubs spend more than it generates its football business, excluding with sponsorship income, property or rights of media.

The Manchester City, the European club more money spent on new signings during the last summer market, carries a debt of 110 million pounds (124.8 million euros), while the deficit of Chelsea is a little more than 50 million pounds (56.7 million euros).

The Manchester United continues to strengthen its leadership

Manchester again demonstrated today with his victory at Fulham (2-0) that does not support any layoffs in the final stretch of the season, where it appears that Chelsea and Arsenal will be its main competitors, although still far from being a real threat.

Eleven points still separate the "blues" in the third position, the combination of Alex Ferguson, who this week lost the race on his horse "What a friend" in the Grand National to be with his team at Old Trafford.

At the same time, Chelsea was in London to Wigan, the bottom club is English minimized their chances of staying. The Chelsea win (1-0), tighter than that of Manchester (2-0), was possible thanks to a goal by France's Florent Malouda, who played in this thirty-second day of the Premier League bottom club as a starter before the next Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka.

After the ineffectiveness scorer Fernando Torres since he landed at Stamford Bridge last January, coach Carlo Ancelotti decided on this occasion it on the bench early in the success of any of his other three attackers.

While memories of the last day of the 2009-2010 season, when Chelsea were champions league after 8-0 thrashing by Wigan, anticipating a big party for the "blues", the team received the set this afternoon Roberto Martinez was very different then.

Find the network was rather expensive for Chelsea, whose fans began to despair when halftime whistle sounded with the score to zero. It was not until 67 minutes, and with Torres in the field of play (left in 59) to become Malouda.

Also in London, on the other side of town, the Tottenham beat Stoke after two goals from Peter Crouch and one of Luka Modric. It was exactly the medicine needed Spurs to heal the tragic chapter wins this week at the Bernabeu after falling 4-0 against Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Other clashes played on Saturday ended with a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham. Bolton won 3-0 at West Ham and Everton did the same at home before the Wolverhamptom, while West Bromwich beat Sunderland 2-3.

Bayern life is complicated

A goal from Spanish José Manuel Jurado on 76 minutes gave the victory to Schalke in a game for the day 29 of the German football league flavored revenge for Gelsenkirchen, they received in their stadium, now as a visitor, which was his coach until just three weeks ago.

The hosts started with a game sweeping the hand of a Jefferson Farfan especially motivated. The Peruvian, one of the most critical players Magath, even became a goal in the second minute a pass from Spanish Raúl, but was nullified by an offside.

At minute 20, however, Wolfsburg was matching the scale until the goal of the Jury, who scored the 1-0 final. The win goes to Schalke to keep the tenth place while Wolfsburg is anchored in the relegation zone and this Sunday could be if he wins the penultimate St. Pauli.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, stumbled in the area of ​​Nuremberg and it was not a tie to return to be away from your ultimate goal this season entering the Champions League.

The Bavarians took the lead in the fourth minute through Thomas Müller, but goalkeeper Thomas Kraft gave the equalizer in the 60 'by rejecting weakly from the door of a ball area Christian Eigler spliced ​​first to convert into goals.

The team of Louis van Gaal gave the third place at Hannover, who defeated 2-0 at Mainz. Borussia Dortmund leader saved a 1-1 draw in their visit to Hamburg with a Blaszczykowski goal in minute 92. Dortmund's defeat would have given the escort, Bayer Leverkusen, the ability to cut to four points away with a victory against St. Pauli.

Messi highlights

Barca had repeatedly thrashed Almeria this season, but the scenario created in the first part had nothing to do with those previous beatings. Andalusians, affected by their delicate situation had nothing to lose from the undisputed leader and went to it, not to lose.

There is nothing new. They do almost all opponents of a boat that tries to overcome injuries, absences and disconnections. With infiltrated Pinto, Thiago holder and Bojan himself sitting at Villa, Guardiola lived the first part to forget. The machine was not working and breathing Almeria much more than in the previous league and cup

Olabe had been put in charge of a team that looked like the bottom club. A fact attested. Forced three corners in the first 15 minutes. Of course, without alarming Pinto at all. Nor Messi was lucky to Diego Alves. A combination with Iniesta and a solo run was his first knocking.

Nevertheless, the party was complicated. And, when injured Bojan change randomly and asked to give the opportunity to in principle ousted 'Guaje' Villa. Could be further complicated if Piatti had used a double slip Pique and Mascherano, but the Argentine found the appropriate Maxwell. Was a substitute, who had raised questions in one of those trap games coaches often advertised in the previous hours.

A new high Messi raid closed the first half. Diego Alves shot turned a corner that Ayza Gamez gave him no real mind to put out, relying on his stopwatch. At Valencia likes to give the note with the whistle, no doubt.

WOKE UP THE BEAST

The Camp Nou was confident that after the break the script changed and resembled that of the precedents discussed above. Villa could change after an excellent service dad Iniesta, but the ball went crying to the base of the post.

Almeria followed his own before meeting with an unexpected gift. Barca's defense was in full frenzy attacker and was struck by a contaataque led by Piatti. The 'Marshall' Milito was the squire of Pinto and could not do anything to prevent the ball from his compatriot to Corona, who faced all alone and beat him at Porto.

Silence in the Camp Nou broken by the reaction of the fans cheering a team that season was proven solvency in these situations. To paraphrase a late-night television talk show, that goal woke the 'beast'. Boy, was awakened. It took only four minutes for Villa Diego Alves brought down with his knee. Ayza said penalty and Messi-finally-saw gate.

It was something like what happened on Wednesday against Shakhtar with that goal 'response' from Keita. At that time, Guardiola played it. Milito retired to give way to Peter. Meanwhile, Mascherano going to the center of the defense accompanying Piqué, Iniesta while reinforcing the midfield.

After a notice of Villa with shot rejected by Pedro Alves and sent to the external network, the club turned a tortilla that was assumed indigestible. You can say it was a goal contraestilo, as in a corner Messi got the ball at the head of Thiago for the young midfielder to finish off the network. The bomb had been deactivated.

Almeria down to earth after having dreamed of the stroke, while Guardiola had killed no game. Acasiete was about to beat the goalkeeper after a cross from Dani Alves poisoned shortly before Thiago received the ovation of the respectable to be replaced by Keita. Guardiola had exhausted the three changes before 70 minutes.

The minutes passed and the club was solving a sudoku that a priori might seem easy but at times became difficult. There was time for the icing. Who was going to sign? Yes, folks. The best in the world. Leo Messi. Obviously, for a child error Marcelo Silva, those who can not forgive when a team struggles through life. But Leo was ready and took the decision to score his second goal and to scalp a distance to your enemy by the scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the end, the club made the duties although the algebra problem resolved soon. Now start strong. Shakhtar Wait ... and next Saturday, Madrid. A Madrid still sleeping eight points before a leader intractable.

Bojan breaks knee

As reported by the Press Department of the FC Barcelona, Bojan suffered a "partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. " It is expected that the Linyola be six to eight weeks off.

If it meets the recovery time, Bojan would have said goodbye to this season, at least with respect to the league and obviously the final of the Copa del Rey next April 20.

During the next few hours, Bojan continue conservative treatment pending whether or not to have to go under the knife. A blow to the young Barcelona striker.
