Madrid, May 11 (Ians) Fc Barcelona could be confirmed as this season’s La Liga champions in the 34th round of matches held over the weekend. Xavi Hernandez’s men will assure the title if they win the Barcelona derby away to relegation-threatened neighbors Espanyol on Sunday night, or if Real Madrid fail to win at home to Getafe on Saturday and Atletico Madrid don’t beat already-relegated Elche.
The Barcelona derby is a tense affair at the best of times, between two clubs who may be neighbors but with a poor on and off field relationship, a Xinhua report said.
While a win would confirm Barca as champions, it would leave Espanyol staring at the reality of relegation. Luis Garcia’s side are second from bottom, three points behind third from bottom Getafe and Valencia, who are in 17th position, and Barca fans would love to help send them into the second division.

New Delhi, Feb 21 (Ians) As the Atletico de Madrid fans left the Estadio Civitas Metropolitano on Sunday night, it felt just like old times.
They’d just seen their team win 1-0 against Athletic Club, thanks to an Antoine Griezmann strike and thanks to a solid defensive performance that allowed Los Colchoneros to collect yet another clean sheet.
Since the World Cup, Atleti have earned five clean sheets from eight Laliga Santander matches, with Jan Oblak conceding just three league goals overall since the return of club football. That defensive improvement has brought the capital city club points, as they have won five matches, drawn two and lost just one, to leaders Fc Barcelona, since the World Cup. That works out at a total of 17 points from eight games, with only Barça having taken more in this period.

Madrid, Oct 16 (Ians) Atletico Madrid moved into third place in La Liga on Saturday night with a hard-fought 1-0 win away to Athletic Club Bilbao.
Antoine Griezmann’s goal two minutes into the second half was enough to decide a game of few chances, although the home side pressed Atletico hard in the last 15 minutes.
Jan Oblak had to leave the pitch with a shoulder injury and his substitute Ivo Grbic made one excellent save to deny Inigo Martinez, while Reinildo Mandava made a vital block to frustrate Raul Garcia with just two minutes left after the referee allowed 10 minutes of injury time.
A combination of a magnificent goal from Nemanja Gudelj and a series of magnificent saves from goalkeeper Bono were enough to give Sevilla a 1-0 win away to Mallorca, reports Xinhua.

Not only will Atletico set out to close the gap to Real Madrid, but they’ll also hope to be the ones to end Real Madrid’s winning run. Los Blancos have won the first five fixtures of a new league season for the first time since 2009/10 and have looked unstoppable, picking up where they left off last season.

Madrid (Spain), Sep 6 (Ians) Fc Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will start their Champions League campaigns on Wednesday night with must-win home matches.
Barcelona kick off their European campaign with the pressure of knowing the club’s delicate economic situation means it is vital for them to make it beyond the group stage this season after finishing third in their group last time around.
However, Xavi Hernandez’s side have been given a tough group where Bayern Munich and Inter Milan will be important rivals, meaning it is vital for Barca to start with all three points at home to Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen.
Barca go into the game after scoring 10 goals in their last three La Liga matches, with Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha working well together in attack, while Alejandro Balde has been a revelation at left-back and Eric Garcia looks more settled in defense.

Madrid, Sep 4 (Ians) Real Madrid ended Betis’ 100 per cent start of the season in La Liga with a 2-1 win in the Santiago Bernabeu.
Vinicius Jr opened the scoring for Real Madrid after just nine minutes late on Saturday and Betis suffered a stroke of bad luck shortly afterwards when playmaker Nabil Fekir was forced off injured.
Sergio Canales’ crisp finish levelled the score in the 17th minute, but Rodrygo won the game for Real Madrid in the 65th minute. The Brazilian took a pass from Fede Valverde to score from inside the penalty area and he was unlucky not to score his second of the game five minutes later, when his shot hit the post, Xinhua reports.
Fc Barcelona survived a difficult opening 20 minutes away to Sevilla before running out as comfortable 3-0 winners.

Madrid, March 22 (Ians) Luis Suarez's 500th goal and a late penalty save from Jan Oblak were enough for Atletico Madrid to maintain their four-point lead at the top of La Liga.
Suarez's near-post header nine minutes into the second half was enough to give Atletico a 1-0 win at home to struggling Alaves on Sunday, and although Atletico kept the ball well to deny Alaves any clear chances, a flailing arm from Stefan Savic gifted the visitors a penalty six minutes from time.
Joselu hit his penalty hard, but Oblak guessed correctly to make a vital save to take his side one step closer to the title.
Fc Barcelona responded to the pressure in brilliant style as they demolished Real Sociedad in San Sebastian on a special day for Lionel Messi, who set a new record of 768 appearances for the club and celebrated with two more goals.

Madrid, March 11 (Ians) Atletico Madrid opened up a six-point lead over Fc Barcelona and an eight-point advantage over Real Madrid at the top of La Liga after a hard-fought 2-1 win at home to Athletic Club Bilbao.
Atletico started strongly but Bilbao grew into the game and began to control the midfield before Oscar de Marcos's through ball allowed Inaki Williams to pull the ball back for Iker Muniain to score on Wednesday, Xinhua news reported.
The visitors were in charge, but Atletico drew level with the last action of the half when Marcos Llorente headed home Thomas Lemar's cross with the minute of injury time the referee had added on already completed.
The home side took the lead five minutes into the second half after Luis Suarez went down in the Bilbao area after a challenge from Unai Nunez. Although replays showed Suarez has actually trodden on Nunez rather than vice-versa,...

Bucharest, Feb 24 (Ians) Chelsea beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 tie to take a big step towards the quarterfinals of the tournament.
What was Atletico's home leg had to be played in Bucharest due to a ban on flights from Britain to Spain to try and stop the spread of coronavirus variants.
Although that is a clear disadvantage for the Spanish side, the result only serves to highlight a drop of form which has seen them lose two and draw one of their last three games in all competitions, Xinhua reported.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone fielded a side that on paper looked to be attacking minded, with Luis Suarez, Joao Felix, and Angel Correa in attack, and Koke and Marcos Llorente in midfield, the reality was something different as the La Liga leaders were content to sit deep and defend for much of the first half.

Madrid, Feb 18 (Ians) Atletico Madrid extended their lead at the top of La Liga to six points over Real Madrid, but failed to take full advantage of one of the two games in hand they have over their city rivals and Barcelona, as they were held to a 1-1 draw away to Levante.
Atletico controlled the opening minutes, but in the 17th minute a run by Jorge Frutos allowed Enis Bardhi to open the scoring for Levante with a clever finish in front of Atletico keeper Jan Oblak, Xinhua reported.
Unusually, this was the fifth consecutive game in which Atletico's typically miserly defence have conceded a goal, but after Levante keeper Aitor Fernandez produced an excellent stop to deny Saul Niguez, Marcos Llorente leveled things up from the resulting corner.
The Atletico midfielder had time to line up his shot outside of the area and the ball took enough of...

With FIFA 21 set to make its debut next week, there’s much to unravel about the game before fans step onto the pitch. With traditional EA Sports norms being slightly altered because of the Covid-19 pandemic, some announcements and reveals have come with a little more flare than usual.
For example, EA traditionally celebrates its Top 100 rated players in the upcoming installment by releasing the ratings of 20 players at a time, starting at #100 and working its way down. However, this year the publisher has decided to announce the Top 1,000 players all at once to give fans from all over the globe a glimpse of how their favorite players will fare in the newest installment of the soccer series.
The Top 1,000 for FIFA 21 were decided by what EA has dubbed as the Ratings Collective, “a talent scouting network with a passion for The World’s Game. From spring speed to finishing,...
