A surprise in La Liga tonight as Real Betis hold Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw.

Sack the manager.

Or maybe its time for Perez to start taking the flack.

They had something ridiculous like 30 shots to 2.... they should have won 9-1

Atletico Madrid let a 1-0 lead slipped away.

Barca beat Valencia 7-0 in the first leg of their Copa Del Rey semi-final. Suarez 4, Messi 3.

Gary Neville literally couldn't be doing any worse at Valencia.

He can't last much longer. No win in the league since he started and now this.

No shame in getting hammered by that lot. I suspect he'll be out if the league form doesn't improve immediately.

Well there is shame in it. Valencia are a big club and this is their heaviest defeat in 23 years. Could easily have been double figures as well.

Valencia may be big but Barca are on a different planet to them, and then some. 7-0 is not good, but it's their league form which is the worry.

I dont think Valencia have won a game since G.Nev went there, not in the league, and their cup run came to a catastrophic end yesterday.

Not sure this was ever a sensible job for him to take on in the first place, but he wont have long left in the job at this rate

If he comes back as a pundit he won't have much credibility when he criticizes managers in the future!

I was thinking that too. Managing is obviously not as easy as it looks.

Barca were below par today but still got the three points.

Levante could easily have got something from this and Barca would have had no complaints.

Valencia lose again...

[dan08]

Real Betis have won twice at home all season. They were against Moyes's Real Sociedad and Neville's Valencia.

Messi wins the La Liga Player of the Month award for the first time...
