LIONEL MESSI RESCUE BARCELONA WITH A MASSIVE BRACE

ENTERTAINIC SOURCE PORTAL
Lionel Messi's two goals salvaged a point for Barcelona but for once the Argentinian could not conjure up a victory as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Valencia.
The hosts were 2-0 down after 32 minutes after a counter-attack goal from Kevin Gameiro and Dani Parejo's spot-kick.
Not for the first time Barca relied upon some magic from their five-time world player of the year, who followed up his late first-half penalty with a brilliant curling equaliser.
But the Argentina international sustained a thigh injury and is now a doubt for Wednesday's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg at home to arch-rivals Real Madrid.
The draw presented Atletico Madrid, playing on Sunday, the chance to close the gap at the top to three points.
Fourth-placed Sevilla missed the chance to overtake Real Madrid as they suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat at struggling Celta Vigo.
Okay Yokuslu scored 17 minutes from time to give the hosts a much-needed victory, only their sixth of the season, to end a five-match losing streak.
Real Sociedad won the Basque derby 2-1 at home to Athletic Bilbao to move to eighth in the table.
Mikel Oyarzabal's 16th-minute opener was followed by Willian Jose's effort on the stroke of half-time and Raul Garcia's goal nine minutes from time could not prevent Sociedad doing the double over their local rivals.
Fifth-placed Getafe were held to a goalless draw at mid-tabled Levante.

WWE: Ronda Rousey Needs To Be Careful With Accidentally Dissing Pro Wrestling

Image
ENTERTAINIC news Ronda Rousey had two excellent WWE Raw Women’s Championship matches in back-to-back nights and does a great job of putting over her opponents in the ring, but she needs to be careful when promoting her own fully legit fighting credentials; she may be inadvertently “exposing” pro wrestling when she kicks down her opponents. The WrestleMania 35 main event between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey feels like  WWE ‘s most highly-anticipated match in quite some time. Though Lynch is the must-see wrestler here with the thunderous “Becky! Becky! Becky!” chants she receives on a nightly basis, Rousey has been viewed as the promotion’s biggest mainstream star; it’s star-power she earned by being an Olympic medalist and a UFC Champion. Rousey is quick to remind wrestling fans of her credentials. She did so on Raw when she told Becky that she could kill her with her bare hands, a claim that I doubt many people would refute. The Raw Women’s Champion doubled-down on th...
