Five stories and anecdotes that leaves us the European Day

Last update 8 December, 2013 by Julio Muñoz

There was Copa del Rey and not League in Spain, But in the rest of Europe, The main league championships continued their march and did so with many surprises, especially in England and Germany. Ironically and paradoxically, what has been said about the Spanish league, This is definitely becoming the most even league. Incredible, as well as the incredible minute of silence observed almost all over the world in honor of Nelson Mandela, died last Thursday:

1- Arsenal, five rental points on Liverpool. Very irregular day for the greats in the Premier. Arsenal remain in the lead despite tying 1 with Everton of Roberto Martínez and Gerard Deulofeu, who scored the tying goal. City did not go beyond a draw 2 at Southampton's home and Chelsea fell 3-2 on their visit to Stoke City despite Schürrle's two goals. Something that Liverpool took advantage of, second already, that won 4-1 against West Ham in a match with a new goal from Luis Suárez and four own goals. Manchester United continues its downhill climb and fell 0-1 before the Newcastle.

2- The Copa del Rey, on the weekend? The Cup replaced the League for a weekend and the result could not have been more catastrophic. empty states, zero interest from the teams and only a draw from Real Madrid at the home of Olímpic de Xátiva, as a highlight. Barcelona and Atlético sentenced their qualifying rounds. Valencia and Real Sociedad will have to work hard if they want to pass, something that will also happen to Athletic that fell 1-0 at Celta's home with a goal Santi Mina, one of the local pearls “celtinas”.

3- Bayern is left alone: Guardiola's Bayern is willing to seal the Bundesliga and it seems that they will achieve it quickly. Not only because of his tremendous power that translated into a scandalous home win at Werder Bremen's home. (0-7), but because Borussia Dortmund does not seem to be in a position to follow in his wake based on what was seen at the Signa Iduna Park where they lost 0-1 with Leverkusen, curiously, the team in second place, four points behind Bayern.

4- Juve is also left alone. Yes in Germany, things are starting to become clear, three quarters of the same can be said in Italy, where Juve leads Roma by three points (who suffered to defeat Fiorentina) and in eight to Naples, that did not go from a tie to 3 against Udinese. AC Milan stumbled again at Livorno's home (2-2) and occupies ninth place, curiously the same as Valencia or United, two more classics in trouble.

5- And we end with two notes from two minor but interesting leagues. In Netherlands, PSV fell for the sixth consecutive time before the speed 2-6 (What's next as a leader?) and is in tenth position. In Brazil, he Vasco da Gama and Fluminense They are already Serie B teams. Curious, the case of the flu, that last year he won the Brasilerao and this year he is on the brink of the abyss. By the way, highlight the unfortunate incidents in the Atlético Panaerense-Vasco da Gama match that ended in a very unfortunate way with people dead and seriously injured.
