Another Chocolate Medal For Forster

Last updated : 27 March 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

His world cup chances are hanging by a thread because of the shocking lack in quality up there in Chilly Jockoland.

Celtic clinched the Scottish Premiership title last night with an emphatic 5-1 win over Partick Thistle at Firhill ... but does it matter when the next club in the league started the campaign 250/1 to finish top?

Forster picks up another medal, and he already has a place ready for one next season ... but is it sad or ... simply pathetic?

From the "Worst League In World Football" to arguably the best ...

Real Madrid suffered a second successive defeat as Atletico Madrid and Barcelona pulled clear in the Primera Division title race, but Barca's night was marred by a serious injury to goalkeeper Victor Valdes which has likely ended his career with the club and ruled him out of the World Cup.

Sevilla came from behind to beat Madrid 2-1 as leaders Atletico were seeing off Granada 1-0, while earlier in the evening Barca had followed up their 4-3 Clasico victory by beating Celta Vigo 3-0.

However, Barca's celebrations were muted after the news came through on Valdes.

Orellana's free-kick appeared to catch Valdes wrong-footed, and although he was able to make the stop he had to dive forward to gather the rebound, and it was then he suffered the injury.

At that point, Barca were already leading 1-0 through Neymar's sixth minute goal, and Lionel Messi doubled the advantage on the half hour before Neymar struck again midway through the second period.

In Seville, Cristiano Ronaldo put Madrid in front with a 15th minute deflected free-kick after he had been fouled by Andujar Coke, but Sevilla replied almost immediately through Carlos Bacca, and in the 72nd minute some superb skill from Ivan Rakitic set up Bacca for the second.

It was a record sixth straight win for Sevilla, lifting them up to fifth, six points behind Athletic Bilbao in fourth.

Atletico lead the way on 73 points after Diego Costa's 63rd minute header was enough to give them all three points at home.

Barca are second on 72 points, with Madrid third on 70.
