Barcelona loses to who?

Tough day for Barcelona. Losing to a newly promoted CD Numancia. The heat is on the Club President and the new Manager. Congratulations to CD Numancia. Promoted to the 1st Division and taking on what is suppose to be Mighty Barcelona. CD Numancia won in front of their home crowd. This is the 4th time CD Numancia has been promoted. Let's see if they can change history. Past three times they went back to the 2nd Division after one season. CD Numancia won the 2nd Division title 2007-08.
Barcelona has really struggled on the road. To be a competitive club, you must win at home and win away.
CD Numancia's next game is La Liga Champion Real Madrid. Real Madrid looked flat today and lost. This will be a test for CD Numancia if they really can compete againts the big teams. Small Club playing in a big league. It will be tough.
Real Madrid vs. Deportivo La Coruna: Tough loss for Real Madrid. Deportivo pulled a win againts La Liga Champions. Real Madrid really didn't look that good last year. The whole league was down. Real Madrid was just the best dispite Sevilla, Barcelona and Valencia were down.
Valencia vs. Real Mallorca: Is Valencia back? They sure put a beating on Mallorca who just missed the UEFA Cup Division last season. I didn't have a chance to see the game, once I do, I will post my thoughts. Next game, Osasuna for Mallorca. That game will tell us if they are any good. Osasuna has not been that good, we will see how this plays out. If Mallorca is any good, they should beat Osasuna.

I love La Liga. Glad it is back! :-)
