Madrid, Aug 14 (Ians) Fc Barcelona were held to a goalless draw by Getafe in their La Liga debut on Sunday evening.
Both sides finished with 10 players, after Raphinha’s dismissal for elbowing Getafe defender Gaston Alvarez in the first half, while Getafe’s Jaime Mata received a red card after the interval, reports Xinhua.
Barca’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, was also shown the red card due to his apparent discontent with Getafe’s fouling and time-wasting tactics. This frustration was evident as the referee added a whopping 10 minutes of added time in the first half and over 15 in the second. That period culminated with Var dismissing what seemed a valid Barcelona penalty appeal.
Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, thanks to first-half goals from Rodrygo and debutant Jude Bellingham. Rodrygo utilized open space to score in the 28th minute, followed by Bellingham’s goal from a corner,...

Madrid, June 5 (Ians) Valladolid were relegated from La Liga to the Spanish second division, Liga Smart Bank, in a dramatic finale to the season.
Valladolid ended with a 0-0 draw at home against Getafe. Coupled with other results, this led to their relegation, despite spending parts of the second half out of the relegation zone, as Almeria momentarily trailed away to Espanyol, reports Xinhua.
The games began at 9 pm local time with six teams in danger of relegation, but each held their destiny in their hands.
Despite Valladolid’s inability to penetrate a strong Getafe defense, a defeat for Almeria away to Espanyol, who were relegated last week, would have been enough to save Valladolid from the drop, simultaneously sending Almeria down.
El Bilal Toure put Almeria ahead after 10 minutes, but Javi Puado equalized three minutes later. When Romael Pierre-Gabriel gave Espanyol the lead in the 49th minute, Almeria found...

Madrid (Spain), March 10 (Ians) Sevilla look as if they could be the only Spanish side in the quarterfinals of the Europa League after the first leg of the round of 16 on Thursday night. The La Liga strugglers gave a boost to under-pressure coach Jorge Sampaoli with a 2-0 home win over Turkey’s Fenerbahce.
An even game tilted Sevilla’s way in the 56th minute thanks to an excellent shot from Joan Jordan, who had come into the game as a second-half substitute, according to news agency Xinhua.
Erik Lamela doubled Sevilla’s lead five minutes from time with a well-placed left-foot shot.
Things were not positive for Spain’s other two sides in the tournament as Real Betis and Real Sociedad both slipped to defeat.
Betis lost 4-1 at a snowy Old Trafford where they matched Manchester United for the first half but were totally outplayed after the break.

Madrid, Feb 2 (Ians) The second half of La Liga season gets underway this weekend as the fixture pile up continues in Spain.
Athletic Bilbao and Cadiz get the weekend underway on Friday night, with the home side looking for their first league win of 2023. Athletic also need to start scoring goals after having found the net just once in their five league matches since the start of the year.
The fact Cadiz won 1-0 on their last two visits to the San Mames Stadium could be a worry to the home side.
Espanyol’s recovery suffered a setback when they lost to Almeria last weekend, but Diego Martinez’s side has a chance to get back on track against a tough Osasuna. As always, Joselu will be the main threat for Espanyol, having scored 11 of their 23 league goals this season, although home fans will be keen to see some of...

London, Feb.1 (Xinhua) There was plenty of activity on the last day of the transfer window in the Premier League, with Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham all making important signings.
Chelsea set a new English transfer record with the signing of Argentinean midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica, paying his release clause of around 120 million euros.
The fee is around 10 times more than Benfica paid River Plate to buy the player, who was awarded the FIFA Young Player for the World Cup in Qatar, one year ago, although the Argentinean side will receive 25 per cent of the sell-on fee.
The move completes a hectic January for Chelsea, who have spent over 300 million euros in an attempt to strengthen their squad, reports Xinhua.
Fernandez’s deal opened the door for Arsenal to move in for Chelsea’s Italian international midfielder Jorginho, who has signed a contract until the end of June...

London, March 22 (Ians) Kelechi Iheanacho's double fired Leicester City to a 3-1 win over Manchester United and a first Fa Cup semi-final in 39 years. The in-form striker now has nine goals in his last nine games and booked a last four showdown with Southampton at Wembley next month.
Youri Tielemans also netted on Sunday to put the Foxes - four-time runners-up - a game away from their first Fa Cup final since 1969, Dpa news reports. Mason Greenwood did haul United level in the first half - after Fred's mistake presented Iheanacho with the opener.
It was just Leicester's second win over United in 23 years but a deserved one as they outplayed and outfought the visitors.
"It feels great, the whole team are happy," Iheanacho told the BBC. "We worked really well in training to get ready for this game, tactically worked really well in training I think we were...

London, March 15 (Ians) Craig Dawson's own goal gave Manchester United a 1-0 win at home to West Ham on Sunday evening, and although the manner of the winning goal may have been fortunate as Dawson headed into his own net, the win was deserved as United dominated and hit the West Ham woodwork twice, while the visitors failed to produce a shot on target.
Kelechi Iheanacho scored a hat-trick to help Leicester City thrash bottom side Sheffield United 5-0 to compound the Blades' misery one day after the club confirmed the departure of coach Chris Wilder, Xinhua news reports.
Ayoze Perez and an own goal completed the scoring as Leicester ran riot against a side whose morale was clearly affected by the events of recent days.
Chelsea and Leeds drew 0-0 in a surprisingly entertaining game, which means the Blues have kept 10 clean sheets in Thomas Tuchel's 12 games in charge,...
