The reigning Spanish Champions, Barcelona, have been in a scintillating form in this campaign. This season they would be eyeing to defend their title successfully. The league leaders are 7 points clear at the top of the table and this away game is the nearest obstacle that they need to conquer. This contest becomes more crucial for Barcelona as we approach the business end of the league and the visitors can’t afford any slip-up as it will give their opponents a chance to catch up with them....

While Barca have had glaring issues in away games this season, they are known to be prolific at home. In that regard, a 4-1 victory appears to be routine. However, even a glance at the match summary would show that there was only one goal from open play, coming from an unlikely source in Sergio Busquets. Lionel Messi tucked in a penalty along with two brilliant free-kicks to complete his hat-trick early on in the second half....

France keeper Lloris was guilty of two howlers as Leroy Sane and Kevin de Bruyne scored early in the second half to reward a vibrant City who had completely dominated before halftime against a rattled Tottenham. After Dele Alli gave Tottenham a lifeline with his eighth goal in his last six league games the visitors enjoyed a massive slice of fortune when referee Andre Marriner missed Kyle Walker’s clear shove in the back on Raheem Sterling as he raced into the penalty area to shoot....

That was all Lamb needed to hear. Lamb scored 22 points, Cody Zeller had a season-high 19 and Charlotte avenged a loss to Atlanta with a 108-94 victory over the Hawks on Wednesday night. Lamb is taking advantage of his first real chance for a regular starting job in the NBA by scoring at least 18 points in seven of Charlotte’s last eight games. “It was huge,” Lamb said of Borrego expressing confidence in him....

The visitors took the lead at the stroke of half-time after a rash handball by Sergio Ramos handed a penalty to the Yellow Submarines. Bruno Soriano finished the chance off with a wonderful panenka, changing the Madrid-based outfit’s half-time team talk. It did not take long for Real to reply, as Ramos made amends for his own error by outjumping the Villarreal defense and thumping in a bullet header into Sergio Asenjo’s far post....

For large spells of the game, it seemed that both teams just didn’t want to lose as a draw wouldn’t harm either team. However, that changed when Zidane did make forward-thinking substitutions in the second half that included bringing on Luka Modric, James Rodriguez, and Luka Jovic. This would suggest that the Frenchman was making a late push to steal the game. While the game itself wasn’t the most entertaining, there were a few key takeaways to analyze from the Madrid derby....

Barcelona benefitted from two penalties in the first half as they brushed aside Granada comfortably at the Nou Camp on Saturday. Andres Iniesta, who was captain on the day for the Catalans, opened the scoring from the spot in the 20th minute after Dimitri Foulquier was adjudged to have fouled Cesc Fabregas in the penalty area. The roles were reversed twenty minutes later, as Fabregas stepped up to take a penalty that was awarded to Barcelona after Fran Rico brought down Iniesta in the box....

In the footage, which was shared to TikTok by a woman called Holly Doran, we can see someone carrying over a basket and then placing it on the floor next to a large black dog. Text overlaying the video, explains: “Bringing home my new pup [heart-eyed emoji].” The dog then begins wagging its tail enthusiastically and leaping about the room, before the lid is finally lifted from the box and we can see a tiny golden Labrador puppy....

Lake Mead, a reservoir formed by the Hoover Dam in Nevada and Arizona, is rapidly evaporating because of a mega-drought. Water levels are now the lowest they have been since 1937. And, before now, the lake had been concealing a multitude of human remains. Since May, four sets of human remains have been found in the lake. Investigations are underway into all the remains. One set of remains, discovered inside a barrel, appears to be that of a shooting victim....

“To me, talks of him stepping down doesn’t sound logical because I don’t see any player doing so well that he could replace Dhoni in T20s. Also, I don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t continue playing till he wants. He is as fit as anybody else in the team, and he is a brilliant runner between the wickets other than being very sharp while keeping. And above all, he is still one of the best finishers,” Rajput told The Times of India....

At one point on top of the division, Alavés have now slid to fifth....

For the first time since 2012, it was Ronaldo’s Madrid that lifted the league title as the Portuguese scored in a 2-0 win at Malaga to leave Zinedine Zidane with a LaLiga winners’ medal after his first full season as head coach, while Los Blancos also have a Champions League final on the horizon. But it was Messi that came out on top individually as he took home the coveted “Pichichi” award for finishing as the league’s top scorer - the fourth time he has done so compared to Ronaldo’s three, although the Argentina star made five more league appearances....

Spain’s top flight has been suspended since March 12 after Real Madrid went into quarantine when a player on their basketball team tested positive for coronavirus.

Griezmann recently claimed that the only club he’d leave Atletico for is NBA side New York Knicks – which obviously isn’t going to happen – but despite his claims that he’s perfectly happy at Los Rojiblancos, speculation still exists over his future with the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid rumoured to be tabling world-record bids for the Frenchman.

The goals came at crucial junctures of the match for Real: the first, on the stroke of halftime, changed the complexion of the game completely, while the second allowed Real to finish the game at ambling pace. The result now leaves Espanyol without a win in 4 games. While captain Oscar Duarte insisted in the post-match interview that the manager and squad are not overly concerned by the bad run of form, it is unlike Espanyol to start the season in such dispirited form....
