Barcelona and Messi go marching on! Guardiola's side made all but sure of a place in April's cup final with a 5-0 win over Almería in the first leg of their semi-final, with Messi scoring two and Villa, Pedro and Keita getting the rest. And at the weekend they beat Hércules 0-3, with Messi netting another brace to take his tally to an amazing 37 for the season. We shouldn't forget Pedro though, the Spanish international scoring for the sixth league match in a row. Barça's opponents in the final may well be old rivals Real Madrid after they beat Sevilla 0-1 in their first leg, Benzema reacting to the signing of Adebayor by scoring the only goal. Madrid lost 1-0 at Osasuna at the weekend though to drop seven points behind Barcelona, and Villarreal are now only six points behind them, Rossi confirming his great form with the winner at Espanyol. Elsewhere Negredo scored two as Sevilla drew 3-3 at Deportivo, and Caicedo got one of Levante's goals in a much needed 2-0 win against Getafe. (02.02.11)
