Diego Lainez Se Fue De Empujón En Su Regreso A Los Campos De Juego

Diego Lainez vive. El hábil mediocampista mexicano jugó hoy sus primeros minutos de la temporada 2021-22, en el duelo entre el Real Betis y el Bayer Leverkusen, válido por la Europa League.

La última vez que Lainez había estado dentro de un campo de juego fue en la definición del bronce de los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio. En ese partido recibió un golpe en el tobillo que lo tuvo todo este tiempo fuera. Con el Betis, en tanto, no jugaba desde el 24 de mayo, hace casi cinco meses.

El Clásico Won’t Be The Same Without Messi, But Ansu Fati And Viní Jr Are Here To Save Us

MADRID - The first Barcelona v Real Madrid meeting after the departure of Lionel Messi to Paris St Germain will be headlined on Sunday by two youngsters as a game typically billed as a clash of superstars instead looks to the upcoming talent of Vinícius Jr and Ansu Fati.

The two players still have a lot to prove, but their talent has elevated them to a point where they are becoming the new faces of their clubs.

El Clásico: The Best Game In Football Makes Its ESPN Debut On Sunday

It’s El Clasico 2021 time! After years spent in the clutches of beIN SPORTS, the world’s greatest rivalry finally gets the grand American audience it deserves over on ESPN. Unfortunately, El Clasico will be behind the paywall of ESPN+, but that was always going to be the case after the network dropped $1.4 billion on an eight-year deal for LaLiga broadcast rights.

Liverpool’s Keïta Follows Golazo With Defense So Bad He Was Benched At Halftime

Naby Keïta drilled a scorching volley to put Liverpool up two inside 13 minutes. He followed that up with defense so bad he was given the hook at halftime.

Antoine Griezmann scored twice in the first half and nearly had more. He followed that up by inadvertently kicked Roberto Firmino in the face and was sent off early in the second half. 

Liverpool blew a two-goal lead before pulling out a 3-2 win over 10-man Atlético Madrid thanks to a Mohamed Salah penalty on Tuesday in thrilling Champions League action in the Spanish capital. 

This 15-Minute Lesson From Xavi Is Worth Any Coach’s Time

Ronald Koeman is living on borrowed time at Barcelona. After a 2-0 defeat to Atlético back on Oct. 2 that showed the ruthless effectiveness of Diego Simeone’s approach (29% possession but who cares) compared to the sterile flaccidity of Barça, Joan Laporta made it clear to Koeman that he had to win three straight matches to stay in the job.

Sergiño Dest Starts At Right Wing For Barça And Delivers Assist In Win Over Valencia

BARCELONA - Ansu Fati marked his first start in almost a year by scoring one goal and creating another as Barcelona came from behind to beat Valencia 3-1 in LaLiga at Camp Nou on Sunday.

Despite being allowed a full capacity crowd for the first time since March 2020, Barça's ground was only half full — and those in attendance were silenced after five minutes as José Gayà's long-range strike swerved into the far corner.

Finally Healthy, Sergio Agüero Is Ready To Enter The Fray At Barcelona

BARCELONA - Sergio Agüero is finally set to make his Barcelona debut at home to Valencia in LaLiga on Sunday and the Catalans will be hoping the prolific Argentine can lift their spirits after a dismal start to the season.

Agüero joined Barça on a free transfer in the close-season after a trophy-laden decade with Manchester City in which he became the fourth leading scorer in Premier League history and struck 260 times to become the club's all-time top scorer.

Miren Quién Llegó: El Kun Agüero Marcó Su Primer Gol Con La Camiseta Del Barcelona

¡Hey, apareció Sergio Agüero! 

El delantero argentino jugó hoy su primer partido con la camiseta del Barcelona y se dio el gusto de hacer su primer gol en blaugrana. OK, fue en un entrenamiento/amistoso con el UE Cornellá de la Primera División RFEF (tercera categoría del fútbol español) y no un duelo oficial-oficial, pero no deja de sorprender considerando la borrascosa temporada que le tocó vivir al Kun este 2021.

De hecho, no sería una locura decir que a Agüero lo hemos visto más frente a una pantalla de computador que dentro de un campo de juego.

18-Year-Old Pedri Now Has The Highest Release Clause In The World After New Barcelona Contract

Spanish and Barcelona phenom Pedri can’t legally buy an alcoholic drink in the United States, but he can claim the title of having the highest release clause in all of soccer and Barcelona history.
