Re: Premiership - La Liga - Serie A 05-06
Midweek action (September 21)
Spain- Primera Division
Barcelona were favorite to win their home game against Valencia but managed a single point. Barcelona lost to Athletico in their previous game. Athletico lost their recent game to Sociedad. Deportivo played another draw against Betis.
Riquelme was on for Villarreal and he scored for them but it was not enough as Villarreal's bad start continued. They lost to promoted Celta Vigo side. F. Baiano scored two to ensure 3 points for Celta Vigo. Celta Vigo is a sort of team who can play Champions league in one season and then face relegation in the next.
Barcelona 2 - 2 Valencia (D. Villa scored twice for Valencia)
Real Sociedad 3 - 2 Atletico Madrid (D. Kovacevic scored twice for Real, Kezman scored another for Athletico)
Deportivo La Coruna 1 - 1 Real Betis
Villarreal 1 - 2 Celta de Vigo (F. Baiano scored twice for Celta, while Riquelme scored for Villarreal)

Udinese 0 - 1 Juventus
AC Milan 2 - 0 Lazio
AS Roma 4 - 1 Parma (Nonda scored twice for Roma)
