Saturday Review
Madrid moves closer to LaLiga championship with narrow Mallorca victory
Real Madrid’s LaLiga trip to Mallorca was always going be an uncomfortable test. They were crammed in between a Champions League Quarterfinal and a bottom-of-the table team that needed points. The result was as expected. Aurélien TchouaméniMadrid’s 1-0 victory was due to a long-range goal by, who appeared to deflect the ball.
Carlo Ancelotti makes five benching changes. Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Toni Kroos, Eduardo Camavinga” Dani CarvajalIt was not surprising that the context in which the Manchester City tie. Madrid’s first half performance was disjointed, with only one chance created. Jude Bellingham‘s curling shots hit the bar.
The second half was better. Tchouaméni put Madrid ahead in the 48th minute, and the team’s attacking threat increased after an hour when Ancelotti introduced Camavinga and Vinicius. After an hour, Ancelotti introduced Camavinga and Vinicius to the team. Brazil The forward almost scored twice before he was able to set up another quick goal.

However, this is not enough to indicate that the centre back will be starting against City in Wednesday’s match.
Madrid only needed to win in this game, which was not going to be easy, against a Mallorca team that was still stinging from their loss in the penalty shootout at last weekend’s Champions League final. Copa del Rey final. They got the job done thanks to Tchouameni, and some luck. Alex Kirkland
Talking points for Saturday in the Leagues
Barca wins over Cadiz, putting them in good shape before PSG’s return leg
João Félix‘s brilliant bicycle kick earned Barcelona a 1-0 win against Cádiz at the Nuevo Mirandilla on Saturday as they remained eight points behind LaLiga leaders Real Madrid ahead of next Sunday’s Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Félix scored the only goal of the game in the 37th minute, finishing acrobatically from a corner to take his tally to 10 goals in all competitions this season.
The Portuguese winger also hit the post in the second half — although the flag belatedly went up for offside — and was responsible for some of Barça’s best moments in an otherwise unremarkable game.
The player hopes that his performances will help him earn a spot in the squad for Tuesday’s Champions League Quarterfinal Second Leg against Paris Saint-Germain at the Olympic Stadium, which Barça go into with a 3-2 advantage.
The fact that he began here may suggest he will have to accept a bench position, as wingers are more likely to be preferred. Lamine Yamal The following are some examples of how to get started: Raphinha two of eight players to drop out of the side that won in Paris as coach Xavi Hernández rung the changes.
Despite those rotations, Barça got the job done against Cádiz, who remain in the bottom three, to extend their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 13 matches.
As well as Félix, Barça also had goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen to thank for the points against Cádiz. The German goalkeeper was superb in his save. Diadie Samassékou The team has now won six consecutive matches with clean sheets.
Barça’s upturn in form may have come too late to challenge in LaLiga. The win over Mallorca has left them eight points behind Madrid, and they have failed to secure a victory in the weekend match. Clásico The slim chances of winning the championship will end.
That makes Tuesday’s game against PSG so big as Barça target their first Champions League semifinal since 2019. Sam Marsden

Cologne was left with little breathing room by the German record champions, who did not wish to lose another game.

Bayern then took full control of the game, waiting to see Cologne make mistakes. Guerreiro netted the winning goal after 65 minutes. Joshua Kimmich corner kick, while Müller cleared up any remaining doubts during stoppage time, capitalizing from a miscue between Jacob Christensen The following are some examples of how to get started: Luca Waldschmidt.
