Leyton pushes Man City to the edge in FA Cup before Real Madrid clash

Ahead of a Champions League playoff against Real Madrid, Manchester City survived a scare at third-tier Leyton Orient to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup. City hosts Madrid on Tuesday in the first of a two-legged playoff. And while Pep Guardiola's team eventually fought back to win 2-1 against Orient on Saturday, it will likely need a much-improved performance to overcome Champions League holder Madrid. Orient threatened to pull off a famous upset when it led 1-0 at halftime against Guardiola's four-time defending Premier League champion. It took goals from substitutes Abdukodir Khusanov and Kevin De Bruyne to secure victory for City at Brisbane Road. It was impossible to control, Guardiola said. We played with character, and we are in the next round and it's always nice. Orient went ahead in spectacular fashion when Jamie Donley's shot from just past the halfway line hit the bar and rebounded off the back of City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega in the 16th minute. It was offici

La Liga president criticizes Real Madrid for complaints on referees

Spanish league president Javier Tebas lashed out at Real Madrid on Thursday, saying the club leadership has lost its mind for accusing Spain's referees of being biased against the defending champion. The head of La Liga said it was considering taking legal action for the letter that Madrid published this week in which it accused the league of being adulterated to favor other clubs. Tebas told reporters, They have built up an exaggerated tale of victimization that is completely baseless with, in my opinion, the goal of undermining the competition. It is completely over the top. They have lost their minds. The letter was sent two days after Madrid felt it was hurt by alleged refereeing mistakes in a 1-0 loss at Espanyol. Madrid mostly complained of a hard foul on Kylian Mbapp by Espanyol defender Carlos Romero in the 60th minute. Romero was shown a yellow card but Madrid felt he should have been sent off with a straight red card. Romero went on to score the winner. After a video revi

LaLiga: First place on the line in Madrid derby with focus on refereeing

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid meet in their second derby of the season with the Liga lead on the line and the focus on refereeing. Real Madrid has spent the days ahead of Saturday's match complaining of mistakes against the club. Atletico Madrid has used the buildup to accuse Real Madrid of trying to put pressure on the referees. Real Madrid enters the match at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium with a one-point lead over Atletico Madrid. The gap between them narrowed in the last round after Real Madrid lost at Espanyol 1-0 and said it was hurt by refereeing mistakes. The defending league champion took the unusual step of sending a strongly worded complaint to the Spanish federation and the nation's top sports authority. The letter sparked widespread reaction across the league, and Atletico Madrid was among those who weren't happy. The club took to social media to alert to what it called Real Madrid's attempt to intimidate refs. Atletico Madrid listed on X what it said were basic ...

Former Real Madrid great Marcelo retires at age 36 to end glorious career

Marcelo, the former Real Madrid and Brazil left back, announced his retirement on Thursday at the age of 36. In a video on X, Marcelo said: My journey as a player ends here, but I still have so much to give to football. Thank you for everything. An attacking left back, Marcelo had one of the most trophy-filled careers in soccer history thanks to his time at Madrid from 2007-22 and his return to boyhood Brazilian club Fluminense across 2023-24. At Madrid, he won the Champions League five times, the Spanish league six times and 25 titles in total. Marcelo is part of the history of Real Madrid and is one of the great legends of our club and of world football, Madrid said. After a brief spell with Olympiakos in Greece, Marcelo moved to Fluminense where he started his career and won the Copa Libertadores. Marcelo played for Brazil at the World Cup in 2014 and '18, and won Olympic medals in 2008 (bronze) and 2012 (silver).

Real Madrid edge Leganes 3-2 on Garcia's stoppage-time goal to reach semis

Gonzalo Garcia scored in stoppage time as Real Madrid avoided an upset by defeating Leganes 3-2 to reach the semifinals of the Copa del Rey. Madrid had taken a two-goal lead at half-time with Luka Modric and Endrick before the hosts rallied to even the match in the second half. The 20-year-old Garcia, a striker who usually plays with Madrid's B team, sealed the victory with a header three minutes into stoppage time after a cross by Brahim Daz. I'm thrilled, filled with emotions. It has been a dream since I was a child and since I joined the youth teams. I'm happy to have scored the goal that gave us a place in the semifinals," Garca said. It was a perfect cross by Brahim and the ball went in by itself. Another setback would have been troublesome for Madrid after it lost 1-0 at Espanyol in the Spanish league on Saturday for its second defeat in 15 matches across all competitions. Madrid had needed extra time to eliminate Celta Vigo at home in the round of 16 of the Copa last month.

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
