Barcelona earn 3-1 win vs Oviedo in La Liga after Garcia goalkeeper blip

Barcelona overcame a blunder by goalkeeper Joan Garca to come from behind and win 3-1 at promoted Oviedo in the Spanish league. Barcelona trailed after Garca gave the ball away when he left the area and Alberto Reina scored for the hosts with a shot from near the midfield circle. The Catalan club rallied in the second half with goals by Eric Garca, Robert Lewandowski and Ronald Araujo to secure its fifth win in six league matches. The result left Barcelona two points behind leader Real Madrid, which won 4-1 at promoted Levante on Tuesday to maintain a perfect record after six rounds. In the first half we struggled with the scoring opportunities but in the second we picked up the pace and got the three goals and the victory that is very important for us, Lewandowski said. Joan Garca's mistake came as he ventured outside the area to intercept a long pass in the 33rd minute. He used his right thigh to get the ball over one opponent and then his left foot to clear another Oviedo playe

Olmo and Torres star in Barcelona's commanding 3-0 win over Getafe

Dani Olmo scored and set up one of Ferran Torres' two goals with a neat backheel flick as Barcelona beat Getafe 3-0 in the Spanish league on Sunday. It was the second straight game for Barcelona at its training facility as the newly renovated Camp Nou Stadium lacks the required permits. Olmo's clever flick inside the area led to Torres scoring for Barcelona in the 15th minute, and Raphinha's assist to Torres in the 34th allowed the Catalan club to increase its first-half advantage. Olmo then closed the scoring with a shot from near the penalty spot in the 62nd after a setup by substitute Marcus Rashford. A man carrying a Palestinian flag entered the field just before Olmo scored but did not affect the goal. The man was taken away by security. We had to focus on our own performance," Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said. "We controlled the match. It's never easy to score three against Getafe. The victory moved defending champion Barcelona within two points of leader Real Madrid, which

Real Madrid edge Mallorca after Vinicius heroics, Atletico stay winless

Vincius Jnior and Arda Gler scored back-to-back goals to help Real Madrid rally for a 2-1 win over Mallorca and make it three wins in as many games in the Spanish league. Xabi Alonso's team saw three newcomers make key plays in the victory at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Mallorca struck first when Vedat Muriqi muscled Dean Huijsen out of the way to reach a corner kick by Pablo Torre, redirecting the cross with the back of his shoulder past Thibaut Courtois in the 18th minute. The 20-year-old Huijsen played a part in leveling in the 37th. The new Madrid central defender headed a cross from a set piece across the goalmouth for Gler to smash home. Vincius only needed another minute to put Madrid in front after Mallorca lost the ball in midfield. The Brazil forward had room to romp forward before cutting back to his left foot and firing in his second goal of the campaign. Mallorca pressed for the equalizer in an open second half. Midfielder Sergi Darder came close to delivering a b

Kylian Mbapp got off to a scoring start in his second season with Real Madrid, leading the team to a 1-0 victory over Osasuna in their Spanish league opener Tuesday. Mbapp, the leading scorer in his debut with Madrid last season, converted a 51st-minute penalty kick to give the hosts the victory.

The former Madrid player arrived before the Club World Cup to replace Carlo Ancelotti, who left to take the Brazil job. It was special to be back here as a coach, unforgettable, Alonso said.

Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen to miss three months due to back injury

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andr ter Stegen will undergo more back surgery and be out of action for about three months. Barcelona said Thursday that Ter Stegen will have the surgery next week to address lower back problems. Today is a personally difficult day for me, the goalkeeper said. Physically and athletically, I feel in very good shape, although unfortunately I am not free from pain. After intensive discussions with the FC Barcelona medical team and external experts, the quickest and safest way for me to fully recover is through back surgery. The 33-year-old Ter Stegen missed nearly all of last season because of a tendon rupture in his knee, and in 2023 he missed about two months because of another back operation. This time, the doctors believe that about three months will be necessary as a precaution, to avoid any risks, Ter Stegen said.
