Valencia to Play Copa del Rey Final Barcelona

-

Valencia will face Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey after a 1-0 second-leg win over Real Betis on Thursday secured a 3-2 aggregate semi-final victory.

Rodrigo Moreno's goal early in the second half was enough to see off Betis at Mestalla and clinch a first final of any kind for Valencia in 11 years.

The result completed an impressive turnaround in the tie for Marcelino's side, who trailed 2-0 after less than an hour of the first leg three weeks ago only to snatch a 2-2 draw thanks to Kevin Gameiro's injury-time equaliser.

Their edge on away goals left them in a decent position and they managed the game superbly against a Betis side who sit three points and two places above them in LaLiga but now miss out on the chance to contest a final in their home stadium.

Lionel Messi had blood in his mouth after a clash with Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos during Saturday's La Liga Clasico, claims Gerard Pique. Messi and Ramos were involved in a flashpoint in the first half of Barca's 1-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu that moved Ernesto Valverde's men 10 points clear at the top of the La Liga table. Ramos knocked the ball past Messi but then seemed to thrust his arm into the face of the Barcelona captain, who made his displeasure clear to the officials, although Madrid's skipper was not punished. "Leo had blood in his mouth," said Pique. "It was an aggression. "Intensity does not have to be measured. I get along great with the Real Madrid players. "But when you go out to the field you defend your colours and the rivalry is what you get. "But once the game is over, the cordiality is mutual, the players respect us very much."

Juventus have been left sweating on the fitness of star man Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Portuguese set to undergo tests on an ankle injury. The former Real Madrid man picked up a knock to his left ankle during the Bianconeri's 1-0 win over Bologna on Sunday. But concerns have grown since then, with Ronaldo unable to participate in full training with the rest of the Juve squad on Wednesday, and will now be further examined by the Serie A champions' medical team. Fellow forward Douglas Costa also trained separately on Wednesday, with a club statement reading: "Both Douglas Costa and Cristiano Ronaldo trained seperately from the group. "For CR7, check-ups have been scheduled for today and tomorrow following a knock to his left ankle during the game against Bologna." The injury could not come at a worse time for Massimiliano Allegri's side as they enter a crucial period in their season.

Schedule to Blame for De Bruyne Injury, says Guardiola

Kevin de Bruyne’s injury is a product of Manchester City’s gruelling schedule, says manager Pep Guardiola. The Belgian was forced off the pitch during the Sky Blues' 1-0 victory at Bournemouth on Saturday. John Stones also left the pitch nursing an knock as the champions’ demanding recent fixture list took its toll on Guardiola’s high-flying squad. And the manager worries that the expectations placed on his team are only going to take a higher physical toll as the season heads towards its climax. "John, I think, is more a precaution, we'll see tomorrow,’ said Guardiola. “He was a little bit tight, he didn't feel good, and we didn't take risks. Hopefully it has not a big issue," he said. "And Kevin has something with his hamstring. I don't know (how long he will be out), tomorrow we'll know exactly. "But it's normal, my friends. We played 25 games in, I think, 93 days. It means every three days and a little bit more we play ...

Mata Made Injury Worse Chasing Salah⚡

Juan Mata admits to making the injury he picked up against Liverpool worse by chasing Mohamed Salah, but hopes to be back for Manchester United “as soon as possible”. A remarkable first half during an eagerly-anticipated clash at Old Trafford saw four Red Devils pick up knocks, while Roberto Firmino was forced off for the visitors. Mata, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard had to be replaced inside the opening 45 minutes of a goalless draw, while Marcus Rashford nursed his way through the pain of an ankle ailment. Mata believes his knock is not too serious, but is unlikely to play any part against Crystal Palace on Wednesday. That is a source of frustration for the Spaniard, who admits luck deserted United on the injury front against their fiercest Premier League rivals. Mata wrote in his personal blog: “Everything possible seemed to happen to us. “If there is a game that no United players want to miss, it is when we play Liverpool, but you have to accept that injuries are a part of the sp...
