Barcelona stumble

Remember that Messidona goal? It was the highlight of the Copa del Rey semifinal match between Barcelona and Getafe. The goal was part of a 5-2 rout Barca had over Getafe. Wednesday's second leg was supposed to have been another walkover.

It didn't exactly turn out that way. Getafe pulled off a 4-0 stunning rout of Barcelona.

Barcelona didn't play their full team but still trotted out capable players in Puyol, Zambrotta, Xavi, Ronaldinho and Eto'o and subbed in Gudjohnsen and Saviola. Barcelona have 24 Copa del Rey titles but last won it in 1998. Getafe ensured that at least one decade will have passed between Barca's Copa del Rey titles.

It looks to me like Real is going to win La Liga.
