Manchester United more valuable than Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool
According to Forbes.com Manchester United have been valued at $1.8 billion, ahead of the club traditionally known as the richest club in football (Real Madrid, $1.285 billion) and their chief domestic rivals Arsenal ($1.2 billion), Liverpool ($1.05 billion) and Chelsea ($764 million). Have fun sorting the lists according to different criteria. Here are some highlights:
La Liga week 34: Real Madrid need just two points from four games
Real Madrid need just two points from their remaining four matches to seal their 31st La Liga title after comfortably beating Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at the Bernabeu on Sunday evening.

La Liga Week 33: Title moves closer to Real Madrid
If there was any doubt that Real Madrid are going to win their 31st La Liga title, it was dispelled after their 0-2 victory over Racing Santander.

La Liga Week 32: Real Madrid within sight of the winning post
Real Madrid moved another step closer to their 31st La Liga title with an uninspiring 1-0 victory over relegation bound Murcia. Barcelona have more or less said adios to their title hopes after only drawing at Recreativo, but the big news this week is the almost certain sale of Ronaldinho to AC Milan. The Brazilian…
La Liga Week 31: Real Madrid take relief from rival’s failures
The top three all failed to win this week but Real Madrid who played badly will be the happiest with their 1-1 draw at Mallorca which leaves them seven points clear with seven games to go. Barcelona played better than in recent weeks but will be most disappointed with their 0-0 draw at home to…
La Liga Week 30: Real Madrid increase their lead as Barcelona blow their chances and Villareal go 2nd
After weeks of inconsistency Real Madrid found their form again to defeat Sevilla this weekend and take a big step towards their 31st La Liga title.

La Liga Week 29: Kid Bojan keeps Barcelona’s chances alive as Real Madrid lose again
Anyone who thought La Liga was over has been proved wrong again. Every week it gets more and more crazy as Real Madrid and Barcelona try to outdo each other to see who can waste most chances. This week Barça did not play well but 17-year-old Bojan Krkic scored twice as they beat Valladolid 4-1,…
Can the Real Madrid-Barcelona stranglehold ever be broken?
When last season the Spanish title race was pulled down to the wire with three teams in contention for the trophy going into the ultimate round of matches, there was a whisper of hope rippling across the nation and especially among the Spanish football commentators that the duopoly could be broken at last. Real Madrid…
La Liga Week 28: Barcelona fail to take advantage of Real Madrid’s slip
It seems as if neither of Spain’s big two really want to win La Liga this season. Real Madrid’s defeat at Deportivo was their eighth defeat in 2008 and thet have now lost four of their last seven league games. Barcelona have consistantly blown their chances of capitalizing on their rivals mistakes: this weekend they…
La liga week 27: Barcelona lose at home and Real Madrid go eight points clear
It really is a crazy time in La Liga.
