Now Sevilla's win is all but certain after Papu Gomez doubled the lead to 0-2 just before the 80th minute. I just think that Sevilla really needed a win today because it will maintain their confidence to face Juventus in the Europa League semi-final second leg. So really, you've won the bet.
Meanwhile I'm waiting for the derby between Espanyol and Barcelona. This is a match full of prestige considering that Barcelona were forced to draw at home to Espanyol at the end of last year's meeting. So today Espanyol will probably try to do it again, but obviously I expect Barcelona to do better. I hope Barcelona wins, it's definitely better for the team and the record.
Exactly as I predicted before and Sevilla really didn't let any chance for Real Valladolid to score, their defense was quite consistent until the end and even though Real Valladolid got 6 shots on target but Marko Dmitrovic did very well in goal. This will be a big motivation for Sevilla to have the second leg in the Europa League and another advantage is that they are playing at home so the opportunities are getting bigger.
The match between Espanyol and Barcelona also ended in a big win, where Barcelona managed to beat Espanyol with a score of 2-4. Lewandowski appeared very impressive in this match and he managed to score two goals for Barcelona's victory, this victory also looked so perfect because Barcelona came out as La Liga champions this season.
Sevilla are slowly finding their way back and have been pretty consistent so far. I ignore their few defeats in the last few matches, but this team is much stronger compared to the start of the season. The great thing about Sevilla is that they have been stronger since beating Manchester United in the Europa League quarter-final second leg. Sevilla are more motivated and they have good confidence to qualify for the final.
About the success of Barcelona, I honestly can't hide my joy. I've been very optimistic about Barcelona since the start of the season even though some people seem to insult them for no apparent reason. The best proof is the two titles that Barcelona managed to secure this season and they managed to beat their arch-rivals with a high difference in points.
