Barcelona let three points slip from their grasp at Osasuna as a late stunner from Chimy Ávila secured a 2-2 draw for the hosts in LaLiga on Sunday.
Deprived of seven key players through injury, Barça coach Xavi Hernández was forced to turn to his youngsters and 19-year-olds Nico González and Abde Ezzalzouli both scored as the visitors twice took the lead.

American defender Chris Richards scored the first Bundesliga goal of his career on Saturday against SC Freiburg in a crucial 2-1 victory. With the score tied at 1-1, Hoffenheim had a corner kick with 15 seconds left in the game.

Manchester City defeated Wolverhampton 1-0 on Saturday in a game that featured 10 heroic Wolves and one silly boy named Raúl Jiménez. The Mexican striker managed to get himself sent off moments before halftime with two yellow cards in 31 seconds. The Jiménez yellow cards vs Man City must be some sort of record.
En siete años y medio de carrera en Europa, Raúl Jiménez nunca había sido expulsado. Hasta ahora. El mexicano tuvo su primera vez este sábado durante la visita del Wolverhampton al Manchester City, luego de una acción completamente evitable.
El descalabro de Jiménez comenzó a cocinarse en el tiempo de descuento de la primera parte, cuando el partido aún estaba empatado sin goles.

There are, I presume, people who are really excited about the Europa Conference League. For fans of teams from nations that don’t regularly send teams to the Champions League or even Europa League, the wordy Europa Conference League presents an opportunity to do something grand on a continental stage. But if we’re being honest, I imagine most fans — especially Tottenham supporters — feel the same way about the competition as this dog.
GOTHENBURG, Sweden — BK Haecken midfielder Elin Rubensson has called on Swedish football to support players who decide to become pregnant during their elite careers and offer them greater security.
Less than a year after the birth of her son Frans, Sweden international Rubensson was back pulling the strings as her side lost 5-1 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on a snowy night in Gothenburg on Thursday.
Pocas son las veces en que Manuel Pellegrini decide darle la titularidad a Diego Lainez, pero hoy fue una de esas oportunidades. El mediocampista mexicano estuvo en el once titular del Real Betis en su excursión a Escocia, donde enfrentaron al Celtic por la Europa League, y acabó con una actuación bastante decente. Sin embargo, el sabor de boca que le quedó fue bastante amargo, luego de fallar un gol cantado y mandarse un berrinche al ser reemplazado cuando quizás no lo esperaba.
The latest Sergiño Dest transfer rumors could be good news for USMNT fans. Dest could be headed for the very team that sent his Barcelona to the disgraceful depths of the Europa League, Bayern Munich.
At the rate Barcelona is capitulating, the Catalan club could miss the 2022-23 Champions League altogether. After 15 LaLiga games played, the club sits one position behind a Europa Conference League spot. Dest’s potential departure is coming before the real madness goes down in Barcelona.
