Yesterday (Tuesday) in the 26th round of the Spanish championship ("La Liga"), the tournament leader "Barcelona" did not manage to beat "Espanyol" in the city derby.
In front of 49,000 fans, "Barcelona," with attack after attack, could not break through the resilient defense of the "Espanyol" players. The true hero of the match was the "visitors" goalkeeper Carlos Kameni, who, even though "Espanyol" were reduced to ten men, made no mistakes and thwarted all of "Barca's" attempts to score a goal.
It is worth mentioning that in the match, although he had been suffering from a cold for a few days, Ronaldinho played. Another previously injured player, Juliano Belletti, played in the second half, while Ludovicas Giuly was not even registered for the match.
This was already the second consecutive draw for the "Barcelona" team and the fifth this season. Over the weekend, they played a 1-1 draw away against tournament outsider "Numancia."
Today, the remaining round matches will be played, and the second-placed "Real" will have the opportunity to reduce "Barca's" lead to 6 points if they beat Sevilla's "Betis" at home.
26th round Tuesday match:
0 - 0 Barcelona
66' Jargue ("Espanyol") was sent off the pitch for a dangerous play.
