Spain Explodes This Weekend
Well, going by my earlier words, this is the game where it all falls apart for Barcelona in their quest to bring home a 3rd consecutive La Liga Title.
The Spanish title is now the Holy Grail for David Beckham (a chance to finally win a trophy with the most trophy-winning club side in the world) before he gets lost in the MLS forest–to become the Paris Hilton of the Western Conference, where only his reputation as a footballer will find the way.
To make matters worse for Barcelona, they are in a derby match against cross town rivals and Uefa Cup Runners up Espanyol. With Ronaldinho missing the game through suspension, these guys are in a slump. Contrary though, maybe with Ronaldinho’s lack of charisma on the field, a suspension is probably what Barcelona needs–life without R20 ( A.C. Milan come a callin’).
It would be a fairytale for Espanyol’s once-Barcelona play-maker, Ivan de la Pena, to be the nemesis to Frank Rijkaard’s ambitions and inflict an immediate loss to help both Sevilla and Real.
Rarely will both Real and Sevilla slip up to drop a point, where Barca is at least poised to drop two. So, regardless of the Soccer Totem Pole, Barcelona may be down at the butt 
.
Seems like Sevilla will make a race as they are so close to the ambrosia. Can Freddy Kanoute hold the flame without burning himself? This week should decide the beginning of the end for one club.
Where next week you let everything ride on the best side in La Liga.
