Barcelona vs. Celta Vigo result: Dembele, Aubameyang star in Barca win amid concern for Araujo Barcelona and Celta Vigo met at the Nou Camp with little to play for as the 2021-22 La Liga season winds down. Still, the match provided plenty of entertainment as always with these two, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangâs brace led Barcelona to a 3-1 victory over 10-man Celta Vigo. Ousmane Dembele, as he has many times through 2022, starred in the build-up. He tore the Celta Vigo left flank to shreds and helped the hosts find the back of the net their first three shots on target of the match. Down 3-0 early in the second half, Celta Vigo picked up one back through a mistake by Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen which Iago Aspas finished off. That was all the visitors had, however, as halftime substitute Jeison Murillo was sent off in the 58th minute for a last-man foul. After the decision, it was all Barcelona the rest of the way. There was a scary moment on the hour mark as Ronald Araujo, having taken a blow to the head moments earlier, went down off the ball. He required immediate medical attention as players from both teams frantically waved for medical personnel, and he was eventually taken off the field in an ambulance and transported to the hospital. Xavi will have a massive selection headache next week against Getafe: In addition to Araujoâs likely absence, the trio of Frenkie de Jong, Eric Garcia, and Jordi Alba all picked up yellow cards that trigger a suspension for the next match.

Barcelona suffer shock defeat against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga SYNOPSIS Rayo Vallecano forward Alvaro Garcia netted an early goal to give his side a surprise 1-0 win against Barcelona Barcelona now have played the same number of matches as the rest of the La Liga teams and wasted the chance to virtually guarantee a spot in the Champions League next season thanks to a 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou on Sunday night. Barça conceded early and never looked like a real threat for the rest of the game, and despite finishing the weekend still second in the table they remain just six points ahead of fifth place with five games to go and will have to work hard to clinch a Top 4 finish. FIRST HALF Barça had a very slow start to the game, playing slow attacking football and losing easy balls in midfield with poor passes and decisions. Rayo on the other hand were very quick out of the gates and scored the opener when Isiâs ball over the top found Ălvaro GarcĂa, who was given time to control the ball and find the bottom corner to give the away team a shocking lead. The Blaugrana still needed at least 20 minutes to wake up after conceding the first goal, but finally upped their intensity in attack and started to create real chances. Goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski and the Rayo backline needed to make some serious interventions, and Barça came close to getting an equalizer on multiple opportunities. They were also denied a clear penalty when Santi Comesaña hit Gavi inside the box, but both the referee and VAR ignored the shout. Gavi was involved in another big moment when he hit the crossbar with a beautiful shot, and Ferran Torres scored on the rebound but was denied the goal for an offside. At halftime Barça had started poorly but got better at the end of the period and could have easily scored a goal or two, but were still behind going into the final 45 minutes and needed to improve even more to find the winning goals. SECOND HALF Barça couldnât carry over the momentum from the end of the first half and were back to their slow, unimaginative attack with very little movement and a whole lot of crosses that never threatened the Rayo defense. Xavi HernĂĄndez made a double change with 30 minutes to go, bringing in Memphis Depay and Nico GonzĂĄlez looking to add more intensity and creativity off the bench, but the two players had very little impact early on and Memphis was especially wasteful and imprecise with his passing. The Barça manager made his final two moves of the game with 20 minutes left, sending Luuk De Jong and Adama TraorĂ© to try and cross the Blaugrana back into the match. But the plan didnât work, and Barça never created a real chance to find a late equalizer and were once again denied a clear penalty when Gavi was pushed in the back inside the box in front of the referee, who somehow didnât see a foul that VAR never bothered to check. The final whistle came after 11 minutes of added time to give Rayo three big points that will definitely save them from relegation now, and Barça have now lost two straight at home without scoring a goal and have won just one of their last five in all competitions. The loss isnât the end of the world and they are still in excellent position to finish in the Top 4, but the pressure is there and they canât afford to drop any more points. Barça will welcome a rare full week of rest and training before facing Mallorca next Sunday in what has become a must-win game for a Barça team going through a tough time right now. Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Dest (Lenglet 46â), Araujo, Eric (Adama 71â), Alba; F. De Jong (Nico 60â), Busquets, Gavi; DembĂ©lĂ©, Aubameyang (L. De Jong 71â), Ferran (Memphis 60â) Goals: None Rayo Vallecano: Dimitrievski; Balliu, Maras, Catena, GarcĂa; Comesaña (Ciss 56â), ValentĂn (Trejo 67â); Isi (Mario H. 87â), LĂłpez (SuĂĄrez 87â), GarcĂa; Nteka (Guardiola 56â) Goal: GarcĂa (7â) thanks for watching đđđ
Real Madrid beat Osasuna to edge closer to LaLiga title Real Madrid inches closer to title with win vs. OsasunaDavid Alaba, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez score as Real Madrid wins its fourth consecutive game in LaLiga. Karim Benzema had two penalties saved by goalkeeper Sergio Herrera as Real Madrid won 3-1 at Osasuna on Wednesday to take another step towards the LaLiga title. An early goal from David Alaba put Madrid ahead, and Ante Budimir equalised just two minutes later, before Marco Asensio put the visitors back in front in a busy first half at El Sadar. Lucas Vazquez made sure of the win for Madrid with a goal deep into stoppage time. Benzema was denied twice from the spot by keeper Herrera in seven second-half minutes, but leaders Madrid got the win nonetheless to move to 78 points with five games left to play, 17 clear of Atletico Madrid, with Barcelona and Sevilla both in action on Thursday. - La Liga on ESPN+: Stream LIVE games and replays (U.S. only) - Don't have ESPN? Get instant access "The game was very good, above all the second half," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti told Movistar afterward. "Everyone showed commitment, quality, we're very satisfied. Now we have a week to prepare the next game, the semifinal. The team is in good form. Let's hope we keep going." Ancelotti made four changes to the team that beat Sevilla on Sunday, with Nacho Fernandez, Dani Ceballos -- in his first start this season -- Marco Asensio and Rodrygo Goes coming in. Osasuna put the league leaders under some early pressure, but it was centre-back Alaba who put Madrid ahead in the 12th minute. Ceballos found Benzema with a clever ball into the box, and the forward crossed for Alaba to finish at the second attempt. Two minutes later, the home side were level, Chimy Avila's cross deflecting off defender Nacho to find Budimir waiting at the far post. The Croatian forward had the ball in the net for a second time on 32 minutes, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Alaba had a spectacular long-range shot saved by Herrera before Asensio -- continuing his best ever scoring season -- made it 2-1 in the 45th minute. Eduardo Camavinga found Ceballos, and when his effort was saved, Asensio was on the spot to score his ninth league goal this campaign. Alaba went off at half-time with an apparent thigh injury, in bad news for Madrid ahead of their Champions League semifinal first leg with Manchester City next week, and was replaced by Dani Carvajal. Speaking following the match, Ancelotti said he was "optimistic" that the injury was not a serious one. Madrid were awarded their first penalty of the night in the 52nd minute when Avila resorted to handling the ball after being beaten by Rodrygo. Benzema's attempt was well saved by Herrera, and then seven minutes later when Rodrygo was fouled by Nacho Vidal in the box, Herrera denied Benzema again. "If we'd had another penalty he'd have taken it," Ancelotti said afterward. "If we get another penalty, he'll take it. Who takes a penalty can miss. He played an extraordinary game, he likes to score but he played well for the team." The game had to be briefly paused by referee Ricardo de Burgos with 10 minutes left after an object was thrown from the crowd at goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, and Madrid were unable to take a number of late chances before Vazquez gave them a two-goal cushion and a fourth league victory in a row.

Clermont Foot 1-6 PSG: Player ratings as Mbappe & Neymar both score hat-tricks Paris Saint-Germain opened up a 15-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 on Saturday night thanks to a mostly routine win over Clermont Foot on the road â Rennes had temporarily inched slightly closer after victory a few hours earlier, while Marseille will play on Sunday. Messi was only narrowly denied by the fingertips of Arthur Desmas soon after, even if the officials failed to award the corner. But the Argentine then turned provider again when he controlled Neymarâs cross on his chest and knocked the ball beyond the defenders into Mbappeâs path, who in turn touched it over the onrushing Desmas to double PSGâs lead. Mauricio Pochettinoâs team looked like they should have been in cruise control, yet took their foot off the gas and allowed Clermont to get back into it shortly before the break as Jodel Dossou turned in a ball fizzed across the penalty area â Sergio Ramos was drawn out of the middle, Presnel Kimpembe didnât get close enough to stop the cross and Gianluigi Donnarumma couldnât reach it. Neymar forced a good save from Desmas that would have restored the two-goal cushion as PSG looked to respond before the half-time whistle. Desmas and Donnrumma were both called into action at opposite ends around the hour mark, Messi then had the ball in the net via his head, but Mbappe was offside in the build up. But PSG did finally restore their two-goal cushion from the spot when Neymar sent Desmas the wrong way â Mbappeâs drive into the area had drawn a naĂŻve sliding tackle from Akim Zedadka that the defender mis-timed. PSGâs fourth was the pick of the bunch as a pinpoint Neymar pass over the top with the outside of his foot eliminated the Clermont defence. Mbappe knocked it beyond Desmas as he controlled the ball and turned it into an empty net, wheeling away to celebrate his 30th goal of the season. His 31st and hat-trick goal was just as good, cutting inside as he received the ball from Messi and lashed it ball past Desmas into the far corner. He could have had his fourth only moments after that, but instead chose to lay the ball off for Neymar so he too could get a hat-trick. PSG player ratings 1. Goalkeeper & defenders Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK) - 5/10 - A little erratic at times. Achraf Hakimi (RB) - 6/10 - Got into dangerous attacking positions a few times. Quieter in the second half than in the first. Sergio Ramos (CB) - 5/10 - Not met with a chorus of jeers, unlike last week. Looked like a player lacking match practice. Presnel Kimpembe (CB) - 5/10 - Captained the side in Marquinhos' absence. Mostly in control but just on his heels for the goal. Nuno Mendes (LB) - 6/10 - Defensively strong - literally, during in a few moments - and very willing to charge forward. 2. Midfielders Danilo Pereira (CM) - 6/10 - Not outstanding but certainly competent. Marco Verratti (CM) - 7/10 - Always in control. Idrissa Gueye (CM) - 7/10 - Plays the easy balls, yet can't fault his passing accuracy and ability to win the ball back and recycle possession. 3. Forwards Lionel Messi (RF) - 9/10 - Laid on two goals in the opening 20 minutes, with a third in the closing stages for a hat-trick of assists. Thought he'd scored one of his own but an offside flag ruled it out. Kylian Mbappe (ST) - 10/10 - Took his first goal well and looked sharp in general, before getting PSG's fourth and fifth with two more fine finishes. Also won the penalty with a direct and driving run. Neymar (LF) - 10/10 - Picked up where he left off a week ago, striking early. Completed his own hat-trick with a composed penalty, although his pass for Mbappe's second was arguably the single most impressive thing he did. 4. Substitutes Georginio Wijnadlum (CM) - 6/10 Thilo Kehrer (CB) - 6/10 Edouard Michut (CM) - N/A Eric Ebimbe (RB) - N/A Kylian Mbappe and Neymar each scored hat-tricks for PSG, who ran up the score-line in the second half after Clermont had briefly threatened to make things uncomfortable. Neymar, who had been on fire against Lorient a week ago, needed only a few minutes to break the deadlock in favour of the visitors from the capital when he was played in by Messi.

Mallorca vs. Real Madrid result: Karim Benzema, Vinicius combo extends La Liga lead to 10 points Real Madrid survived 45 minutes of a physical slugfest to outlast Mallorca on the road, with two goals and an assist from talisman Karim Benzema to win its 20th match of the season and go 10 points clear at the top of the Spanish La Liga table. Vinicius Junior was also a key contributor, scoring the opening goal and winning the penalty that Benzema eventually deposited for a 2-0 lead. Despite the three points that pushed the club closer to the La Liga title, it wasnât all sunshine and roses for Los Blancos, who will be sweating a few key injuries ahead of next weekendâs El Clasico. Most notably, Benzema came limping off a few minutes after his second goal, leaving Carlo Ancelotti with a headache ahead of the seasonâs marquee matchup. Mallorca vs. Real Madrid final score 1H 2H Final Mallorca 0 0 0 Real Madrid 0 3 3 Goals: 55th min â RMA â Vinicius Jr. 77th min â RMA â Benzema (pen) 82nd min â RMA â Benzema Final: Mallorca 0, Real Madrid 3 It was a bruising, physical test for the La Liga leaders, but ultimately they passed the test. Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr. were the stars, and Real Madrid now has one hand on the La Liga trophy with a 10-point lead and only 10 matches remaining. While the three points are valuable, the injuries are worrying with El Clasico less than a week away. Benzema's status will be the most watched of those who were forced off early 1st min: We have kicked off on the island of Mallorca! Halftime: Mallorca 0, Real Madrid 0 A true slobbernocker through the first 45 minutes, Mallorca did its best to muck up the game, and was quite successful in doing so. Vinicius Jr. in particular was frustrated through the first half, unsuccessful on any of his first five dribble attempts, but he grew into the game towards the halftime whistle. Both teams tackled well, and interventions at both ends by Pablo Maffeo and Nacho Fernandez were critical. All things considered, Mallorca had the best chances and should be in front. We'll see if Madrid takes advantage of the hosts' failure to secure chances. 55th min: GOAL! Real Madrid! Vinicius Jr. has been the best Madrid player in the match, and he's the one on the scoresheet. Vazquez picks Baba's pocket, and Vinicius deposits it into the back of the net on a feed from Benzema. It's a similar opener to what happened against PSG, where Madrid charged down the opposition on lazy possession. Mallorca was screaming for a foul on the change of possession, but a quick VAR check waves off the protests. Vazquez and Baba both fell clumsily to ground, but the slow-motion shows that Vazquez actually trips over Baba's leg, not the other way around. Good goal, and Madrid has the breakthrough. 76th min: PENALTY, Real Madrid! The visitors break effortlessly 3-on-2, and Vinicius is clearly shoved in the back in the box by Olivan. It's the easiest call the referee will ever have to make, a "playground shove" as the ESPN commentators put it, arms extended for all to see. It's senseless foul, because Vinicius didn't look like he was getting to Benzema's cut-back pass. Benzema steps up...GOAL, Real Madrid! The Frenchman slots it home, sending Rico the wrong way, and Madrid is surely through with all three points. 82nd min: GOAL, Real Madrid! Marcelo's on for two minutes and he as an assist. Two veterans combine, as the 33-year-old Brazilian delivers a pinpoint cross to the head of the 34-year-old Benzema who rises high to power home the header. Mallorca has sunk since the opener, and this one is well and truly over. That's 22 goals this season for Benzema to go along with his 11 assists, more goal contributions than any other player in the top European leagues this season. Final: Mallorca 0, Real Madrid 3 It was a bruising, physical test for the La Liga leaders, but ultimately they passed the test. Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr. were the stars, and Real Madrid now has one hand on the La Liga trophy with a 10-point lead and only 10 matches remaining. While the three points are valuable, the injuries are worrying with El Clasico less than a week away. Benzema's status will be the most watched of those who were forced off early.
