Madrid beat Vallecano 2-1 to move level with Barcelona in La Liga table

Kylian Mbapp and Vincius Jnior scored goals in a five-minute span in the first half and Real Madrid held on to beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 and move level on points with Barcelona at the top of the Spanish league. Mbapp scored in the 30th minute on Sunday and Vincius doubled the lead in the 34th to give Madrid the same 57 points as Barcelona, which had its match against Osasuna on Saturday postponed after the death of first-team doctor Carles Miarro Garcia. There was a moment of silence at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in honor of the Barcelona doctor. Barcelona remains ahead of Madrid on the head-to-head tiebreaker. "It's a nice feeling because the goal was to get the three points," Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "We could have been up 3-0 in the first half but it ended 2-1. And in the second half we had opportunities to go up 3-1." Rayo hit back with a goal from Pedro Daz in first-half stoppage time. It hasn't won in four straight league matches, with three losses and a ...

Champions League: Liverpool get late win vs PSG; 10-man Barca beat Benfica

Harvey Elliott scored less than a minute after coming on as a late substitute to fire Liverpool to a stunning 1-0 win at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Runaway Premier League leader Liverpool had survived a barrage of attacks at Parc des Princes to keep the score at 0-0 going into the final stages on Wednesday. Elliott was sent on to replace Mohamed Salah in the 86th minute and became an unlikely hero by sweeping a low shot into the corner of the net with his first touch of the match. "To go away with a win over here was probably a bit more than we deserved," Liverpool coach Arne Slot admitted after watching goalkeeper Alisson pull off a string of saves in a match dominated by PSG. Bayern Munich took a big step toward the quarterfinals with a 3-0 win against German champion Bayer Leverkusen and 10-man Barcelona beat Benfica 1-0. Inter Milan won 2-0 at Feyenoord. Alisson to the rescue ============= PSG's players will be left wondering h

Barcelona beat Las Palmas with the help of a late winner from Dani Olmo

Dani Olmo scored after coming off the bench to help Barcelona win 2-0 at Las Palmas on Saturday and stay top of the Spanish league. Lamine Yamal linked up with Olmo to find a seam in the hosts' defense in the 62nd minute. Olmo took Yamal's threaded pass, shifted the ball to his left foot to open an angle around a defender, and fired the ball in off the underside of the bar. While Olmo went on at halftime, Ferran Torres only played the final minutes and drilled in a second goal from angle in stoppage time. Las Palmas is a team that defends well and closes down the interior passing lanes so we had to remain patient, Olmo said. In the second half the spaces opened up and we were able to score and take the three points. Barcelona avenged a shock home loss to the Canary Islands club in November as it ensured it will spend another week atop the standings. The team coached by Hansi Flick is one point ahead of Atletico Madrid, which won 3-0 at Valencia earlier on Saturday. Real Madrid is

Barcelona closes gap at the top with Lewandowski's winning goal vs Alaves

There was no rout this time but Barcelona still prevailed with Robert Lewandowski scoring a second-half winner as the Catalan club beat Alaves 1-0 to move within four points of rival Real Madrid at the top of the Spanish league. It's not every time that we will be able to score three, four or five goals in a game, Lewandowski said. We had to be patient and in the end we did what we had to do, which was to score one more goal than our opponent. Madrid lost 1-0 at Espanyol on Saturday after a run of 10 victories in its last 11 matches in all competitions. Third-placed Barcelona is three points behind second-placed Atletico Madrid, which ended a two-match winless streak in the league with a 2-0 victory against Mallorca on Saturday. We knew we had to win this match, Lewandowski said. We needed the victory. We had lost too many points in the league already. It was an unusually low-scoring game for Barcelona, which had claimed 14 goals in its last three matches including a 7-1 rout of

Szczesny retains starting spot for Barcelona's UCL match against Atalanta

Hansi Flick is keeping Wojciech Szczesny in goal for the final match of the league phase of the Champions League on Wednesday. Iaki Pea had been Barcelona's starter since Marc-Andr ter Stegen sustained a serious knee injury last year, but Szczesny who was added to the squad after Ter Stegen's injury played last week in the come-from-behind win over Benfica in the Champions League and in last weekend's rout of Valencia in the Spanish league. My job is to make decisions, Flick said Tuesday ahead of the home match against Atalanta. "They are two great 'keepers and with my team we have opted for Szczesny, and that's it. Iaki has done a great job, but have gone for Tek (Szczesny). I try to do the best for the team, and that's what I have done. Szczesny had only played three other matches this season, one in the Copa del Rey and two in the Spanish Super Cup won by Barcelona in Saudi Arabia. Barcelona, in second place in the 36-team standings, has already clinched a spot in the round of

Frenkie de Jong opened the scoring in the third minute, Ferran Torres added to the lead in the eighth, Raphinha found the net in the 14th and Fermn Lpez struck in the 24th at Montjuic stadium.

The victory moved Barcelona within three points of second-placed Atletico Madrid and seven points off leader Real Madrid, which won 3-0 at Valladolid on Saturday with a hat trick by Kylian Mbapp. Atletico was held 1-1 by Villarreal on Saturday.

Spanish government allows Dani Olmo to continue playing for Barcelona

Spain's government stepped in Wednesday to provisionally allow midfielder Dani Olmo and forward Pau Vctor to continue playing for Barcelona following the Spanish league's refusal to do so. Barcelona appealed the decision by the league to Spain's Higher Council for Sport, a government body under the auspices of the ministry of education and sports. The council has initially ruled in Barcelona's favor to allow the two players to continue participating in official competitions while it studies the appeal and makes a definitive ruling. Last summer, the two players were registered only through the end of 2024, and the financially troubled Barcelona failed to meet the league's financial fair-play rules by the end-of-year deadline. Once the club got its paperwork in order, the league, with the backing of the Spanish soccer federation, said that it was rejecting Barcelona's attempt to register the players for the rest of the season. The league and the federation said in a joint statement th

Barcelona through to Spanish Super Cup final, beat Atheltic Bilbao 2-0

Lamine Yamal and Gavi Pez scored to lead Barcelona past Athletic Bilbao 2-0 and into the Spanish Super Cup final on Wednesday. Gavi scored in the 17th minute of the semifinal for his first goal since the midfielder returned to playing in October after a serious leg injury that sidelined him for nearly a year. Gavi then helped Yamal put the result away in the 52nd with a pass that the 17-year-old controlled while twirling toward the goal. Yamal sized up goalkeeper Unai Simn and slotted home to double the lead. Real Madrid and Mallorca will play the other semifinal also in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Thursday. The final is on Sunday. Yamal didn't reveal which rival he would prefer for the final, saying the final will be tough, and we want to win it, that is the important thing. Gavi got Barcelona going after he redirected in a short pass from Alejandro Balde after the left back had reached the endline in Athletic's area. Athletic could barely muster a threat until it was behind by two
