la liga teams: Barcelona extends lead to seven points

Raphinha's second-half double helped Barcelona overcome a stubborn Osasuna and open up a seven-point lead on Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. It looked set to be a frustrating evening for the defending champions, who had 21 shots to three for Osasuna until the Brazilian forward struck the opening blow in the 70th minute. Raphinha found the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area before converting at the back post in the 86th minute when a cross deflected into his path. Ferran Torres thought he had broken the deadlock in the 23rd minute when he beat the offside trap and headed in a Marcus Rashford cross. However, the video assistant referee (VAR) ruled out the goal because Raphinha's heel was offside during a short-corner routine in the build-up. Torres then went close when h...

Robert Lewandowski Barcelona are reportedly not happy with Robert Lewandowski after seeing the striker sidelined through injury and set to miss some crucial fixtures, including El Clasico.

football latest: Christensen contract renewal

Andreas Christensen FC Barcelona were looking to move on several of their players in the last summer transfer window, and one of these players who seemed particularly likely to depart was the Danish center-back Andreas Christensen. His sale would have allowed the Catalans to make a small profit on a player that had arrived for free and whose contract was ending in a year, while also lightening the crowded center-back position. However, the player himself was not really keen to move away from the Blaugrana club, and as Diario AS has noted, his decision to stay is now bearing fruit as he is now becoming a more important part of Flick’s plans, especially since the departure of Inigo Martinez to Saudi Arabia. Although he is still not a fixed starter, he has already accumulated up t...

Laliga news Nigeria: Lamine Yamal Injury

Lamine Yamal Lamine Yamal was forced off during the closing stages of Spain’s World Cup qualifying victory over Bulgaria on Thursday but reports suggest that the Barcelona forward has avoided any serious injury. Spain boss Luis de la Fuente is openly in awe of the teenage starlet. The talent “touched by God’s wand” underscored his status as one of the world’s best players with another devastating display for his national team, teeing up Mikel Merino’s header to make it 3–0 after playing a role in the first two goals of the night. Bulgaria’s beleaguered left back Fabian Nürnberger, who plays his club football in Germany’s second tier with Darmstadt, unsurprisingly struggled to contain Yamal. Barcelona’s gifted winger dribbled past the 26-year-old on no less than six occasions. ...
