Sevilla qualifies for Champs League
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 16 - 05 - 2010

time goal gave 10-man Sevilla a 3-2 win over Almeria in the Spanish league and a place in the Champions League Saturday.
Strikers Frederic Kanoute and Alvaro Negredo scored Sevilla's other goals which helped the team finish fourth and join the three other Spanish qualifiers - Barcelona, Real Madrid and Valencia - in Europe's top club competition next season.
Sevilla had been in danger of losing out to Mallorca in the battle for the Champions League after Negredo was dismissed in the 64th minute and Almeria's Juanma Ortiz made it 2-2 with a spectacular shot in the 79th.
Mallorca beat Espanyol 2-0 but Rios' goal kept the island team fifth, with a place in next season's Europa League.
Meanwhile, Getafe downed a depleted Atletico Madrid 3-0 to finish sixth and also qualify for next season's Europa League.
Villarreal's hopes of taking sixth place itself were dashed when it drew 3-3 at Zaragoza.
Sevilla ended the season with 63 points, one more than Mallorca. Getafe, achieving the best final placing in its history, had 58, while Villarreal was next with 56.
Earlier, eighth-place Athletic Bilbao ended its campaign with a 2-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna.
On Sunday, Barcelona will win its 20th league title if it beats relegation-threatened Valladolid at the Camp Nou or matches the result of second-place Madrid, which visits another side in danger of losing its first-division place, Malaga.
Bilbao's win at its San Mames Stadium lifted the eighth-place team - its best finish in six seasons – to 54 points.
Deportivo, which has slumped in the second half of the season, ended with 47 points in 10th place.
The game marked the final appearance of Bilbao's former Spain forward Joseba Etxeberria, who is retiring after 15 seasons with the club.
Milan routs Juve
Ronaldinho scored twice to help AC Milan beat Juventus 3-0 in the Serie A Saturday, a day after coach Leonardo and Milan agreed this would be his last match in charge.
Ronaldinho was in inspired form on the left wing. He set up Luca Antonini for the opening goal and doubled the lead before halftime.
After the break, the former world player of the year added his second before making way for Filippo Inzaghi.
Juventus ended an anticlimactic season in uninspired form.
Alessandro del Piero tried hard to create an opening, but after halftime the team appeared content to run down the clock.
Also, Lazio defeated Udinese 3-1. Thomas Hitzlsperger, Sergio Floccari and Cristian Brocchi scored for Lazio, while Antonio di Natale scored his 29th league goal of the season for the visitors.
