Chapter 941 Expanding the Score and Narrowing the Gap
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, huge cheers erupted from the Mestalla Stadium, as loud as if the whole stadium trembled slightly.

"The game is over, the game is over! Valencia helped the home team beat Barcelona 5:3 at the Mestalla Stadium with Captain Aiello's hat-trick and two assists at home, achieving a double-killing performance against Barcelona in one season, thereby expanding the point difference between each other from four points to seven points, which will be of great help to Valencia's road to the league championship in the new season..."

At the same time, the commentator He Wei gave the closing speech of the game.

"Congratulations to Valencia for defeating Barcelona at home without any risk. Their 26-round score is 24 wins, 74 draws and 22 points, while the second-ranked Barcelona has 67 wins, [-] draw and [-] losses with [-] points, which means that Valencia has already stretched the points to [-] points. There is a lot of room for adjustment when there are only [-] rounds left in the league..."

Standing on the sideline, David Villa and David Silva rushed into the field for the first time and enjoyed the victory of the game with everyone.

The on-site director locked the camera on Ai Luo. As the best player in the game, he should have such treatment.

At the same time, journalists from various countries rushed towards Ai Luo, who had already prepared countless questions and waited for Ai Luo to answer them.

At this moment, no one noticed the desperate Barcelona players, let alone Messi, who played almost as well as Aiello in this game.

He was lying on the turf at the end of the game, panting heavily, and he had displayed [-]% of his combat effectiveness in this game.

What makes him feel powerless is that even if he exerts [-]% of his strength, there is no way to help the team win the away game.

In another focus battle that took place later, Real Madrid defeated their opponents and narrowed their score with second place Barcelona to one point.

Cristiano Ronaldo played a vital role in Real Madrid's game, helping the team score the opening goal, but what made Real Madrid fans feel a little inadequate was that he did not score many goals.

Because in this round of the national derby, Aiello and Messi both scored three goals.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored 42 goals, and Aiello also increased the number of goals to 37 goals in six less league games, greatly shortening the number of goals with Cristiano Ronaldo.

欧洲主流媒体对此异常关注，因为艾洛在2006-2007赛季创造的西甲联赛单赛季进球纪录是49个，如今克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多和梅西都在联赛进行到26轮的时候打入42球。

Aiello, the single-season record protector of La Liga, also scored 37 goals, only 12 goals away from his single-season scoring record. Judging from Aiello's current state, averaging one goal in the remaining games of this season is not a problem at all.

In addition, this number of goals was completed with six rounds less, which is even more admirable, because both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were surpassed by participating in the Qatar Asian Cup in Aiello.

Had Aiello not been in the Asian Cup, he would now have a good chance of setting a new La Liga scoring record in a single season.

The headline of "Valencia Sports Daily" said: "Ai's performance is really amazing. The third national derby of this season was once again highlighted, with three goals and two assists. He beat Messi, who also performed a hat-trick, and helped Valencia beat Barcelona to win the game, thus widening the difference between each other to seven points."

"It is worth mentioning that Ai's three goals in this game raised his scoring total to 37 goals this season. He is only five goals away from the top scorers in the league, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. The chasing speed is really the same as his impressive speed, and he is approaching at an incredible speed... You must know that the five-goal gap was completed in six rounds of Ai Shaoqi. Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi who participated in all 26 league rounds, they have many disadvantages..."

"If nothing else, this season's La Liga champion belongs to Valencia, and the league's top scorer belongs to our king --- Ai!"

In fact, this possibility is very high. In the remaining [-] rounds of the league, Valencia only has three hard bones, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Villarreal, and these three games are played at home, which means that the probability of winning has risen to the highest.

In this regard, the Madrid media "Marca" admitted this: "There is no doubt that when Valencia defeated Barcelona at the Mestalla Stadium, the league champion has basically waved to Valencia... Even though Real Madrid chased points very hard in the second half of the league and maintained a complete victory, they were helpless. The points gap between the two sides, and after five rounds they will face Barcelona at home, and then they will be a guest at Mestalla to challenge Valencia, which in itself has caused troubles for Real Madrid's preparations."

"...What is more worthy of study is the schedule after the league. If Real Madrid emerges from the quarter-finals and enters the semi-finals, they must be distracted from the Champions League semi-finals. The league naturally cannot take care of it. After all, Real Madrid has hated the 1/8 finals in the past six consecutive seasons. It is impossible for Real Madrid to go hand in hand for the league championship that has no great hope, which will affect the team's combat effectiveness."

On the second day, the reporting centers of the Madrid media and the Valencia media were almost the same, but the Catalan media was not the case. The headline guide of Barcelona's mouthpiece "Daily Sport" said: Paul Valencia to become the league champion?
The text said: "If you have studied the Spanish national derby that came to an end at Mestalla last night, then you must have focused on some details. The referee clearly favored the home team in the penalty. The most controversial scene appeared in the No.806 minute of the whole game. I understand that Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was directly sent off by the referee with a red card in the case of appeal, may I ask...is this a fair and just league?"

Another mainstream media newspaper in Catalonia, "Mundo Deportivo", also talked about this point. In the report, it used the dislocation of the camera to mislead the excited Barcelona fans and used hype to bombard the Western Football Association.

Even if no changes can be made in this round of the game, they hope that the Western Football Association will cause a little trouble for Valencia in the remaining leagues and create conditions for Barcelona to win the league championship.

But... the Western Football Association was quick to respond.

The official website of the Western Football Association has an analysis of the video in a prominent position, as well as various detailed analyzes by the referees, so that it can be determined that the controversial shot Ai Luo did not foul, but a very good goal.

There is also a detailed explanation for Guardiola's red card. The referee's post-match report mentioned that Guardiola's emotions were obviously out of control, which seriously violated the authority of the referee.

Accompanied by a cracking video by a lip-language expert, the most eye-catching words are 'dog-mother' and 'your mother is a bitch'.

What made "World Sports Daily" and "Daily Sports Daily" didn't want to play was that Guardiola was suspended for three games by the Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Association.

This result can be very anxious for Barcelona's top management, because Barcelona will be a guest at the Pisjuan Stadium to challenge Sevilla in the next round, and the third game of Guardiola's suspension will be a guest at the Laguna Stadium to challenge Villarreal...

Now the league points have been pulled to seven points by Valencia. If there are any points lost in the future, not only the league championship will be hopeless, but also the natural rivals Real Madrid will overtake the points.

Fortunately, the Western Football Association still allows Barcelona to appeal, and the specific suspension time will be determined according to Guardiola's statement and evidence.

But Barcelona's life is destined to be difficult, because they will challenge Sevilla in the next round, and then they will face Manchester United at home in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final.

Barcelona’s problems have nothing to do with Valencia, where Aiello is located. Their league opponent in the 27th round is Mallorca. They played as half of the main team, relying on captain Aiello’s two goals in the first and second half, they beat the home team 4:1.

With Valencia winning and Aiello scoring, all eyes were on Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​especially star stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Of course, Barcelona's away game against Sevilla is more interesting. The Pisjuan Stadium is the home of the famous devil in La Liga. The Barcelona coach Guardiola is unable to direct the game, which must have a great impact on them.

However, Messi stood up when Barcelona was at its hardest. His golden goal helped the team beat Sevilla in an away game and won a difficult game.

Real Madrid also won the game in this round of the league, with Cristiano Ronaldo contributing two goals.

Next, the three teams of the Western Super League Group will focus on the second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals in the middle of the week. However, Valencia and Real Madrid are relatively easy. The big victory in the first round makes them have no burden. Coupled with the home game, the promotion probability is infinitely close to [-]%.

Only Barcelona's situation is a bit dangerous. They lost 2:3 away to Manchester United.

After losing Cristiano Ronaldo, this Manchester United team has more offensive points and more powerful defensive counterattacks. This is a concern for Barcelona, ​​which must win Manchester United at home.
