Our leader Víctor Valdés conveniently sat out Barcelona's match against bottom club Almería this weekend after picking up a timely fifth yellow card last week, just two weeks before the big "clásico". He was ably replaced though by reserve keeper Pinto, himself a former Zamora prize winner during his time at Celta. Valdés will be back next weekend to face his old rival Casillas, who was one of eight men to keep clean sheets on a low scoring weekend. For the record, the others were De Gea (Atlético), Aranzubia (Deportivo), Kameni (Espanyol), Calatayud (Hércules), Caballero (Málaga), Juan Pablo (Sporting) and César (Valencia). Two other changes as well as Pinto, Reina replacing the suspended Munúa at Levante, and Doblas returning for Zaragoza in place of Leo Franco after serving out his one match ban. (12.04.11)
