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.
It has been a strange season in Spanish football as both Barcelona and Real Madrid are experiencing down years, but Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has seized on the opportunity to win a second LaLiga title for his club.
For a long stretch of the season, Atlético was nearly unbeatable. Following a pair of nil-nil draws early in the campaign, Simeone's side won 15 of 16 league games — the only misstep a 2-0 defeat to crosstown rival Real Madrid. This put the club 11 points clear at the top of LaLiga.
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.
Al Atlético de Madrid se le acabaron la gasolina, las ideas y también la ventaja que había sacado en la primera mitad de LaLiga. Los colchoneros cayeron en su visita al Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán de Sevilla y la ilusión de conseguir el título si bien no está muerta, es cada vez más incierta.
Ya ni siquiera las manos de Jan Oblak parecen ser suficientes.
After stumbling into the international break on the back of Champions League elimination and a nine-game league run that had yielded only four wins, four draws and one defeat, all eyes were on LaLiga leader Atlético Madrid on Sunday as the club navigated a difficult away trip to fourth-place Sevilla.
Cádiz and Valencia’s LaLiga match at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza was briefly halted on Sunday after Los Che defender Mouctar Diakhaby was racially abused by Cádiz’s Juan Cala.
The event took place off the ball, but video shows Diakhaby confronting Cala before being restrained by teammate Kevin Gameiro and Cádiz’s Fali. Diakhaby was booked for his actions; Cala — who was already on a yellow — wasn't punished.
SEVILLE, Spain — Real Sociedad beat local rivals Athletic Bilbao 1-0 in the rescheduled 2020 Copa del Rey final on Saturday to get their hands on a major trophy for the first time since 1987.
Captain Mikel Oyarzabal netted the winner by sending keeper Unai Simon the wrong way from the penalty spot in the 63rd minute after strike partner Portu was felled in the area by Athletic defender Inigo Martinez.
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.
