Sergiño Dest became the first American to appear in El Clásico in October. On Saturday he became the first American to score with his butt in El Clásico.
Dest’s rear end accidentally sent a Toni Kroos free kick into the back of the net for what proved to be the winner as Real Madrid edged Barcelona 2-1 on Saturday at a cold, wet and rainy Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium.
El Clasico is the biggest rivalry in sports, featuring the biggest stars in the biggest venues with some of the biggest prizes in soccer generally on the line. So who are the El Clasico top scorers, the players who shine when the lights are brightest and the pressure is on? We made a list, and it has some pretty impressive names on it.
El chiste ya es viejo. Vinicius Jr. es de clase mundial regateando rivales, pero a la hora de definir frente al arco lo hace con la misma gracia con que la señora Cecilia Giménez restauró el Ecce Homo.
Real Madrid is not Arsenal. That much was evident as Liverpool’s win over the latter on Saturday looked far in the rear-view mirror following a defeat to the former in the Champions League on Tuesday.
El tropiezo de Atlético de Madrid ante Sevilla dejó al Barcelona afilándose los dientes. De ganarle al Real Valladolid, los catalanes tenían la posibilidad de quedar a un punto de los colchoneros con aún nueve jornadas de LaLiga en disputa. La oportunidad, ciertamente, no la desaprovechó, pero costó litros y litros de sudor.
Zinedine Zidane cree que el Real Madrid está siendo subestimado en la previa del partido de ida de los cuartos de final de la Liga de Campeones, este martes, frente al Liverpool de Inglaterra. El Madrid ha tenido una temporada muy irregular, pero sigue vivo en el torneo continental, así como en LaLiga, donde a falta de nueve fechas se ubica tres puntos detrás del Atlético de Madrid.
Si consigue superar al Liverpool, los merengues tendrán una semifinal contra el Chelsea o el Porto y quedará a un paso de lograr su decimocuarto triunfo europeo.
MADRID - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has ruled out playing Eden Hazard in Tuesday's home Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Liverpool, saying he will not risk another injury setback for his club's record signing.
Belgian Hazard, ravaged by injuries since joining Real from Chelsea in 2019, returned to training on Friday ahead of schedule from his latest muscle problem but played no part in Saturday's 2-0 win over Eibar.
El Real Madrid está estudiando la forma de aumentar sus ingresos para compensar las pérdidas sufridas como consecuencia de la pandemia del coronavirus.
La remodelación del estadio Santiago Bernabéu será clave para que los ingresos vuelvan a ser los de antes de la crisis y, en ese contexto, la idea de construir un casino dentro del estadio gira en torno a La Casa Blanca.
Ante las incesantes especulaciones sobre un posible regreso de Cristiano Ronaldo al Real Madrid, es interesante saber cómo les ha ido a los jugadores de élite que han retornado a sus antiguos clubes.
¡LA ‘BBC’ PODRÍA REENCONTRARSE EN MADRID!
CARDIFF - Gareth Bale intends to return to Real Madrid for the final 12 months of his contract next season, he said on Tuesday.
Bale has been at Tottenham Hotspur on loan this season, initially struggling with fitness but playing regularly in recent weeks, but said ahead of the start of World Cup qualification with Wales this week that he plans to head back to Spain next season.
“The main reason I came to Spurs this season was that I wanted to play football, first and foremost, but going into the Euros I wanted to be match fit too.”
