Barcelona 3-1 Villarreal: Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique strike.


Barcelona have one foot in the Spanish Cup final after beating Villarreal 3-1 at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night.


The second leg of the semi-final should be a formality and they continue to show the sort of form that will have Real Madrid nervously looking over their shoulder in the league where the difference is just one point.


Barca’s front three of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez have now scored more goals in 2015 than the entire Madrid team. Messi got one here and Neymar should have added to his tally but missed from the spot.
Suarez did not score but was involved in two of the three goals as Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique also scored to record their 10th consecutive victory in all competitions.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
