Laliga 2019 20 Barcelona Begin Title Defence With Defeat To Athletic Bilbao

This was Barça’s first Liga defeat on the road since a 0-2 reverse at Celta Vigo in May. Without their talismanic captain Lionel Messi who is yet to recover from a calf injury, Barcelona looked largely bereft of ideas in attack despite handing a competitive debut to forward Antoine Griezmann at San Mamés. The new €120 million signing could have had a goal on his debut but fired wide six minutes from time....

La Liga 2017 18 Atletico Madrid 1 1 Barcelona 5 Talking Points

Earlier, Saul Niguez opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid with a curling effort from 25 yards out. Atletico, however, lost steam in attack after that and were happy to sit back and soak up the pressure as Barcelona tried relentlessly to find spaces to exploit in the final third. Valverde’s substitutions worked to a great extent and Barcelona got going in the final 20 minutes and Luis Suarez made sure they eked out a point with a brilliant header from a delicious cross by Sergi Roberto....

La Liga 2018 2019 4 Reasons Why Barcelona Should Be Wary Of Atletico Madrid

It is a clash between first and second, with bragging rights as well as the potential to be crowned league champions on the line. The Blaugrana hold an eight-point lead atop the league standings, but the Colchoneros would be desperate to reduce that deficit to five by posting a rare victory at the Camp Nou. Barcelona enter the fixture as very much the form team of the two and this coupled with the caliber of players on display within the Barca ranks means the defending La Liga champions are the favorites in the tie....

Lakers Centre Robert Sacre Gets Fouled Out But Stays On Court

And it was thanks to a little-known NBA rule that most of the Lakers coaching staff and players didn’t even know existed. Lakers centre Robert Sacre fouled out in the 4th quarter, but despite that coach Mike D’Antoni decided to keep him on the court as he did what was best for his team. Nick Young ended up twisting his knee in first half play, Chris Kaman fouled out even before Sacre in the 4th quarter and Jordan Farmar had to leave the court a little later with cramps in his leg....

Lakers Vs. Heat Score Results Los Angeles Cruises To Game 1 Win As Injuries Ravage Miami

Behind superstar efforts from Anthony Davis (34 points, nine rebounds, five assists) and LeBron James (25 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists), the Lakers controlled the series opener and captured a 116-98 victory over the Heat on Wednesday night. LA shot over 45 percent from the field and nearly 40 percent from 3-point range, and the team defense was stifling throughout the contest. To make matters worse for the Heat, starting guard Goran Dragic (foot) and All-Star big man Bam Adebayo (shoulder) left Game 1 with injuries....

Lacazette Giroud Show Sanchez Arsenal Have Real Firepower But Defensive Deficiencies Remain

Arsenal 11/1 to win the title Lacazette scored with his second touch in the Premier League – with his first touch having come from the kick-off – yet it was fellow France international Giroud who will make the headlines after sealing the three points for an Arsenal side who showed glimpses of impressive attacking quality throughout. Sanchez may have to accept the decision of Arsene Wenger to keep him until his contract expires next summer but the 90 minutes he witnessed on Friday night would have surely provided another reason as to why he wants to join Manchester City before the transfer window closes....

Lack Of Support From Head Honchos May Have Played Its Part In India S Slump Against England

Monkeygate, 2007-08 The Indians, with renewed optimism, assembled under Anil Kumble’s leadership to take on a gallant Australian side. On the back of just one three-day warm-up game, the tourists were swiftly brought down to their knees with a 337-run defeat in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne. The second fixture, at Sydney, is painted with a black brush in the annals of cricket’s history. Tempers frayed on either side right from the commencement of the Test, and, on Day 3, Harbhajan Singh was charged for remarks against Andrew Symonds that were apparently racist in nature....
