Betis vs Barcelona preview

Real Betis will play host to FC Barcelona in their last La liga match of the season at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Saturday. Pep Guardiola will lead out his Barcelona players to Sevilla in his last La liga match as the manager of the Catalans. The home team are unbeaten in their last five games at the Benito stadium. Roque Santa Cruz has been passed fit to play against Barca after sustaining an injury in his last match. Seydou Keita is a major doubt for this match, while Carles Puyol has been ruled out with an injury that might keep him out of the Euro 2012 campaign in June.Barcelona have won their last seven away league matches.  Lionel Messi has scored 50 league goals this season and he is set to win the Pichichi that was won by Cristiano Ronaldo last season.

Our prediction: Betis 1-4 Barcelona.

I'm not interested in working with Chelsea-Guardiola

FC Barcelona manager, Pep Guardiola has laughed off claims of being linked to the job at Chelsea. The Portuguese coach was fired on Sunday, 24 hours after the Londoners were beaten by midland team, West Bromwich Albion  by a lone goal. Chelsea are currently in search of a permanent manager that will commence his work at the end of this current season. The Portuguese man has been linked to the job at AS Roma and Internazionale. Although Pep has not extended his contract at the Catalan club, it is unlikely that the successful Spanish tactician will join the Roman Abrahamovic team this summer. 

Is it too early for Real Madrid to celebrate?

Real Madrid are currently on top of the Spanish Primera Liga, which is one of the most followed football leagues in the World. The La liga can boast of several World stars such as Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo, Xavi Hernandes, Andreas Iniesta, Gonzalo Higuain, Roberto Soldado, Fernando Llorente,Iker Casillas, Angel di Maria, Ricardo Kaka etc. Since 2004 when Rafael Benitez led Valencia to the Spanish league title, only Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have been winning the trophy annually.
Jose Mourinho joined the capital club after he led Inter Milan to a treble in 2010. The Portuguese tactician who was named FIFA coach of the year 2010 has always won a trophy in his first season of handling a new club. After doing it at FC Porto,Chelsea and Internazionale, the "Special One" went ahead to win the Copa del Rey for the Merenges in 2011. As at today, Real Madrid are ten points ahead of the fierce rivals, FC Barcelona in the La liga race. With just about 12 games to go can the Mourinho boys begin to celebrat their title regardless of the fact that FC Barcelona went ahead to defeat Sporting Gijon with 10 men and a "Messiless" team. The stunning form of Christian Ronaldo has propelled his club to this great position on the log standings. The Portuguese International has scored 30 goals in the league with 12 matches to go. On the other hand Lionel Messi hasn't done badly with 28 goals in the league,but his team mates have not been scoring goals as they were doing last season. Real Madrid can boast of about 2 or three players that are scoring regularly. Karim Benzema(currently injured) and Gonzalo Higuain have been contributing their own quota to Madrid's goal tally. Pep Guardiola has hinted that his players will continue to challenge for the Spanish title until the end of the season, but if Real can win their next 6 or 7 matches it will be extremely difficult for the Catalans to lay their hands on the la liga trophy this season.
