New Delhi, Aug 29 (Ians) At just 16 years and 45 days, Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to provide an assist in a Laliga EA Sports game in the 21st century, which earned a standing ovation from the Villarreal Cf fans.
Sunday afternoon’s Laliga EA Sports duel between Villarreal Cf and Fc Barcelona was a thriller, which finished 4-3 to the Catalan side and which featured so many world-class players.
There was the World Cup winner Juan Foyth, the reigning Pichichi Robert Lewandowski, the current Zamora Trophy holder Marc-Andre ter Stegen, the two-time Zarra Trophy recipient Gerard Moreno, the former Golden Boy Gavi… yet the Mvp of the match was 16-year-old Lamine Yamal, making just his fourth appearance for Fc Barcelona’s first team.
Lamine Yamal was simply spectacular at the Estadio de la Ceramica. The La Masia graduate had already impressed on the right wing in Los Blaugrana’s matches...

Madrid (Spain), May 29 (Ians) Fc Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde will miss the forthcoming round of international matches and will need around two months to recover after suffering a partial tear in the ligament of his right ankle during Sunday’s 3-0 win at home to Mallorca.
The defender was caught by a bad challenge from Mallorca defender Amath Ndiaye, who was sent off in the 14th minute of the game, and had to be replaced by Sergi Roberto, reports Xinhua.
Fc Barcelona quickly published a medical report, confirming the extent of the injury, saying Balde will be sidelined for at least six or seven weeks.
That means Balde will miss Spain’s Nations League semifinal against Italy (and the final if they qualify) as well as the start of pre-season training for the 2023-24 season.
His injury comes a handful of days after Barcelona’s experienced left-back, Jordi Alba confirmed...

Madrid, May 24 (Ians) Real Sociedad edged closer to Champions League qualification with a 1-0 victory at home against Almeria.
Takefusa Kubo netted the game’s only goal during the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time, striking a brilliant shot into the top corner of the net, reports Xinhua.
Almeria was reduced to 10 men just 10 minutes later following a harsh challenge from Luis Suarez on Robin Le Normand. Despite not managing to equalize in the second half, their resilience suggested that they might yet avoid relegation.
Celta Vigo and Girona settled for a 1-1 draw, a result that likely assures Celta’s La Liga survival. Carles Perez put the home team ahead just four minutes before halftime.
Cristhian Stuani equalized with a twice-taken penalty in the 58th minute, and both goalkeepers made excellent saves in the closing moments, resulting in a split of points.

Madrid, Jan 3 (Ians) Spanish La Liga side Espanyol has confirmed they have appealed against the result of Saturday’s derby against local rivals Fc Barcelona, due to the presence of Robert Lewandowski in Barca’s starting 11.
Lewandowski was allowed to start after the Central Litigation Court in Madrid temporarily suspended a three-game ban which the striker had been handed following his sending off in Barca’s visit to Osasuna in November.
Although the Spanish Football Federation’s (Rfef) appeal’s committee rejected Barca’s original appeal against the suspension and the Administrative Tribunal for Spain (Tad) also rejected Barca’s appeals, the court’s decision meant Lewandowski was in the side to face Espanyol, reports Xinhua news agency.
Espanyol reacted to the news by failing to send any official representation to the match, which ended 1-1 with Joselu’s late penalty cancelling out Marcos Alonso’s early opener for Barca.

Madrid (Spain), Nov 12 (Ians) Fc Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is going to have to use his imagination to carry out training sessions during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
A club record 16 Barcelona players have been called up by their respective countries for the World Cup, three more than the 13 who went to Russia in 2018.
That leaves Xavi with just seven first-team regulars in Barcelona, bearing in mind that Gerard Pique has also announced his retirement from the game.
Those players have been given holidays until December 5, but of the seven Sergi Roberto and Franck Kessie are injured, meaning that in theory, Xavi will have to work with reserve goalkeeper, Inaki Pena, defenders Hector Bellerin, Marcos Alonso and Alejandro Balde, while youngster Pablo Torre plays games with Barca’s B-team.
That’s not even enough to organise a game of three-a-side, and Xavi will have to use some B-team players to make up the numbers,...

Madrid, Oct 30 (Ians) Saturday was a worrying day for Spain coach Luis Enrique as he saw two players who are in his squad for the FIFA World Cup leave their games through injury.
Fc Barcelona defender Eric Garcia and Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata both suffered injuries with just 12 days before Enrique is due to name his 26-man squad for the Qatar World Cup.

Robert Lewandowski’s 93rd minute goal decided the game which had looked set to end in a draw.
Morata also limped off with an ankle injury after just nine minutes of Atletico Madrid’s dramatic 3-2 defeat in Cadiz.

Madrid, Aug 20 (Ians) Fc Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez will make changes to his side for Saturday’s difficult trip to play Real Sociedad in the second round of La Liga on Sunday.
Sergio Busquets’ sending-off in the disappointing goalless draw that Barca kicked off the season with, leaves a space to be filled in midfield by either Frenkie de Jong or Miralem Pjanic, while Jordi Alba struggled last week and Balde could be given a chance.
The fact that Ronald Araujo looked uncomfortable at right-back last week, also opens the door for Sergi Roberto to start in the Barca defense, while Araujo moves into a more central role alongside Eric Garcia.
Xavi’s decisions are limited by the fact that the club has still not been able to write new signing Jules Kounde into their squad due to financial fair play rules, while Sergino Dest is on the exit ramp...
