Well....I merely took over....not exactly a big fan.
My original intention was to generate some interest in Spanish Primera Liga because I find it is of good quality.
Interest becomes a habit. Haha.

Real Madrid 2 - 1 Barcelona : Madrid crowned clasico kings

Gareth Bale scored the most important goal of his career to win the Copa del Rey for Real Madrid, netting the decisive goal against fierce rivals Barcelona in the final at the Mestalla.

The most expensive player in the world raced from the halfway line down the left wing before poking the ball past Jose Manuel Pinto to restore Madrid's lead with five minutes remaining, after Marc Bartra had cancelled out Angel Di Maria's first-half opener.

The Welshman had produced his best performance in his third game against Barcelona but had failed to find the net, but his guile paid off as his stunning late strike gave Madrid their 19th Copa del Rey, and the first trophy under coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Barcelona 2 - 1 Athletic Bilbao : Messi to the rescue

Two goals in three minutes saw Barcelona come from behind to end a run of three straight defeats, but a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao could only paper over so many cracks at the Nou Camp.

A crowd of barely more than 30,000 suggested the locals had already made their mind up about the under-pressure Gerardo Martino, and his players did not do much to make his case as they struggled to muster their usual cutting edge until they had fallen behind.

Aritz Aduriz had already missed two outstanding chances to score before he put Bilbao ahead in the 50th minute, and it was not until the 72nd that Barca found a somewhat fortunate equaliser through Pedro.

Having done that, they needed only two minutes for Lionel Messi to give them the lead.

Villarreal 2 - 3 Barcelona : Messi seals comeback win

Barcelona came from two goals down to beat Villarreal 3-2 and stay in the Primera Division title race on an emotional night for the club.

Playing their first game since the death of former coach Tito Vilanova, who died of throat cancer aged 45 this week, Barca were subdued for much of the first half and trailed to a Ruben Cani goal scored on the stroke of half-time.

Manuel Trigueros then doubled the lead 10 minutes into the second half, but two Villarreal own goals sparked a comeback as Gabriel Paulista and Mateo Musacchio inadvertently brought things level before Lionel Messi struck the killer blow seven minutes from time.

Barcelona 2 - 2 Getafe : Barca's title hopes hit by Getafe

A stoppage-time goal from Angel Lafita snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw for Getafe at Barcelona, which could prove fatal to the Catalan club's hopes of retaining the Primera Division title.

Gerardo Martino's men began the day four points behind leaders Atletico Madrid but a victory looked likely when Alexis Sanchez fired home in the second half after Lafita had earlier cancelled out Lionel Messi's opener.

But struggling Getafe grabbed an unlikely point with another equaliser from Lafita - 90 seconds into stoppage time - and Barca will find themselves six points behind Atletico if the Madrid club beat Levante on Sunday, with the two sides set to meet on the final day of the season.

Elche 0 - 0 Barcelona : Barca frustrated at Elche

Barcelona set up a winner-takes-all clash against Atletico Madrid on the last day of the season after they drew 0-0 against strugglers Elche and Atleti were held at home by Malaga.

The results mean Barca and Atletico will face each other at the Nou Camp in a Primera Division title showdown next Sunday, with only a win enough for Gerardo Martino's side to claim the league honours.

Barcelona 1 - 1 Atletico Madrid : Atletico crowned Spanish champions

Atletico Madrid ground out a 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp to claim their first Primera Division title since 1996.

It was not always pretty, but Diego Godin's headed equaliser early in the second half was enough to deny Barca in a tense title decider.

The hosts had taken the lead with a stunning strike from Alexis Sanchez but it was a rare sight of goal for the hosts, with Lionel Messi cutting a frustrated figure and Atletico's defence standing firm.

Barcelona 3 - 0 Elche : Enrique off to a winning start

Goals from Lionel Messi and teenager Munir El Haddadi ensured Luis Enrique got his era as Barcelona coach off to a winning start as they beat Elche 3-0.

The Catalans had to play the entire second half with 10 man after Javier Mascherano was sent off, but they had earlier taken the lead through Messi, who also grabbed the third, with exciting 18-year-old forward Munir scoring just after half-time.

Villarreal 0 - 1 Barcelona : Sandro Ramirez strikes to give Barcelona victory over Villarreal

Sandro scored his first senior goal for Barcelona to give them a narrow 1-0 win at Villarreal.

Luis Enrique's men had looked distinctly out of sorts at El Madrigal until the teenager's struck in the 82nd minute goal, failing to zip the ball around in their usual manner.

They struggled to get too many sights of Villarreal's goal and only the woodwork meant they were not behind.

But Sandro, a 19-year-old academy graduate, ensured that Barcelona went home with the spoils tapping in a cross from Lionel Messi, who had been frustrated by the Villarreal defence all night.

Barcelona 2 - 0 Athletic Bilbao : Late Neymar double downs Athletic Bilbao to keep Barcelona top of La Liga

Two stunning pieces of skill by Lionel Messi and two languid finishes from substitute Neymar saw Barcelona beat a resilient Athletic Bilbao 2-0 to pick up a third consecutive win to stay top of the Primera Division.

Ernesto Valverde's side had produced a disciplined performance at Camp Nou and looked to be heading for a point until a moment of brilliance from Messi released Neymar, who broke the deadlock with nine minutes remaining.

The Argentina and Brazil captains then combined again for the second goal, with Messi cutting the ball back for his teammate to strike low into the bottom corner and deliver the final blow to Athletic.

Barcelona 1 - 0 Apoel Nicosia : Gerard Pique scores winner as Barcelona beat APOEL Nicosia

Barcelona opened their Champions League campaign with victory over Apoel Nicosia, although the 1-0 result will have done little to worry any of their Group F rivals.

The Primera Division side wasted chance after chance at the Nou Camp, with Gerard Pique's first-half header all that separated the two sides in the end.

And with a trip to French champions Paris Saint-Germain next up for Barca, Luis Enrique's men will need to perform much better if they are to maintain their proud record in the competition.

Levante 0 - 5 Barcelona : Five-star Barcelona march on

Barcelona's perfect start to the new Primera Division season continued with a processional 5-0 victory over bottom side Levante at Ciutat de Valencia.

Luis Enrique's early leaders made it four wins from four and kept a fourth straight clean sheet as goals from Neymar, Ivan Rakitic, Sandro, Pedro and Lionel Messi demonstrated the wide gulf in class between the two sides.

There were, however, two moments of concern for the Catalan giants, with Messi missing a penalty after Loukas Vyntra was dismissed and Neymar making a premature exit in the second half having turned his ankle.

Malaga 0 - 0 Barcelona : Barcelona drop first points of season

Barcelona's 100 percent winning start to their Primera Division campaign ended after a goalless draw at Malaga.

Luis Enrique, in his first season at the helm at the Nou Camp, had led his side to four successive victories with 11 goals in the process.

However, at La Rosaleda, they were lucky to escape with a point and failed to register a shot on target.

The home side have made an unspectacular start to the season, although their only win did come against Athletic Bilbao - who finished fourth last season.
