On Saturday, in the 8th round of the Spanish "Liga BBVA" championship matches, the "Barcelona" football players celebrated another victory.
Under the guidance of Josep Guardiola, thanks to two goals by Argentine Lionel Messi, the players defeated the resistance of "Zaragoza" away.
It is worth noting that this match did not go without drama, with the actor of which became Dani Alves, the Brazilian from the Catalan club who did not shy away from integrating elements of theater.
In the beginning of the second half, the defender was barely touched by Argentine Leonardo Ponzio, falling to the ground as if he had received a strong blow to the elbow and writhing with a face distorted by pain, until the referee showed a red card to the home team's guard.
The leader of the championship is still the Madrid team "Real," which this time crushed the Racing team from Santander 6-1 in front of their own supporters.
The winners were marked four times by Cristiano Ronaldo, who demonstrated excellent athletic form, and Gonzalo Higuain and Mesut Ozil each scored once.
In another match, the "Valencia" football players unexpectedly experienced a defeat at the "Mestalla" stadium, losing 2-1 to the Mallorca team.
Lithuanian Marius Stankevičius made his debut for the "Bats," but the full-back, who made no gross errors, was substituted after a big break.
