Right now Barcelona is in 1st place and Real Madrid lost against Celta De Vigo and got out of the Tournament. Now they are in the Semi-Finals with four teams, Barcelona, Celta De Vigo, Atletico Madrid, and Alaves. I have seen many Copa Del Rey games and they are very interesting. The tournament was founded in 1903, Barcelona has won the 28 Copa Del Rey. This year it is the 115th annual Copa del Rey. They will play the finals in May 27 and I hope you will watch it.

Barcelona vs VillaReal CF

On January 8, 2017 Barcelona played VillaReal. They are both very competitive and from Spain. VillaReal is a hard opponent and always plays well in games. Messi scored one amazing goal on them and they tried very hard and scored back. The game ended in a tie 1-1. Messi, Suarez, and Neymar were trying to win the Ballon d’or but Cristiano Ronaldo won it. Ballon d’or is a trophy for the player of the year. Barcelona plays with Real Sociedad on January 19. Barcelona is 3rd in the leader boards behind Sevilla and Real Madrid is 1st place.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad

Barcelona played Real Sociedad yesterday. Barcelona was fortunate to draw 1-1 against Real Sociedad. Sadly one of Barcelona’s defenders Jordi Alba sprained his ankle in the game and bruised his fibula and knee. This Saturday is one of the biggest games in La Liga, Barcelona vs Real Madrid, also known as El Clasico. They play twice every year and Jordi  Alba might not play in that game. Barcelona didn’t do so well in the game but they are training hard for El Clasico this Saturday, but Barcelona has a long way to go to win that game.

Real Madrid vs Leganes

Real Madrid played yesterday against Leganes. Real Madrid played home and did good in the game. They had a lot of possession and ended up winning 3-0. Bale a Welsh soccer player scored twice in that game and Alvaro Morata from Spain scored the last goal. Real Madrid played very good like they usually do and right now are 1st in the leader boards. They won many games and they are continuing to play good and score many goals throughout games. Real Madrid is trying their best to stay in 1st place but Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are right behind them.
