Real Madrid

The French star was held without a goal by Osasuna for only the second time in Real's last 11 games.

In the 59th minute, after Rodrygo forced another penalty, Benzema failed to double the Real lead for the second time. During that same stretch, the French international has scored 15 goals, including two consecutive Champions League hat tricks. The 34-year-old forward followed that up with a 25-minute hat trick against Chelsea in the first leg of the quarterfinal, and added the extra-time winner in the second leg.

Instead, Leipzig‘s striker Andre Silva levelled from the spot after an hour, when Christopher Nkunku was fouled by Paul Jaeckel and the penalty was awarded following a VAR review. With Fiorentina committing bodies forward down the other end, Danilo managed to put the game to bed in stoppage time. The result put PSG on 77 points, leading second-placed Marseille, who beat Nantes 3-2, by 15 points with five games left. The winger Sheraldo Becker gave Union the lead in the 25th minute after he received a superb lofted pass from Christopher Trimmel and finished with a tidy first-time shot from inside the box. Adrien Rabiot had the ball in the net in the second half but his strike was ruled out following a VAR review. Alaba opened the scoring in the 12th minute, finishing with a close-range strike following a free-kick but Osasuna equalised two minutes later as Ante Budimir scored after a counter-attack.

Atleti’s slip-up, meanwhile, complicates their bid to book a berth in next season’s Champions League. Needing to finish in the top four, the Madrid club could find themselves in fourth place (albeit with a four-point lead over fifth-place Real Betis) by the conclusion of Thursday’s contests. Sevilla (60 points) also will have the chance to move up in the standings when they travel to face Levante in Valencia on Thursday. Real Madrid (78 points) currently enjoy a huge advantage over second-place Atleti (61 points) with five games remaining, while third-place Barcelona, who have 60 points and seven games left to play, can leapfrog the Colchoneros with an away win on Thursday against Real Sociedad.

Alaba had a spectacular long-range shot saved by Herrera before Asensio -- continuing his best ever scoring season -- made it 2-1 in the 45th minute. He played an extraordinary game, he likes to score but he played well for the team." Two minutes later, the home side were level, Chimy Avila's cross deflecting off defender Nacho to find Budimir waiting at the far post. "If we get another penalty, he'll take it.

Belgium’s so-called golden generation is on its last legs, and—to be in with a shout—avoiding more injuries and finding a place to build momentum have to be the plan. Despite the ongoing setbacks, the magnitude Real boasts and what it spent on him means he still has a point to prove. An outside bet is Borussia Dortmund in Germany, a lesser discussed actor in the transfer market. By this logic, cashing in could be a safe bet if the offer is good and everyone is satisfied. A return to Chelsea is one option, though it’s the only likely Premier League taker. Regarding output and performances, Real will consider the Hazard investment a disappointment.

Carlo Ancelotti's team are on the cusp of winning LaLiga, there is a remote chance they could be crowned champions on Sunday.

If Madrid beat Espanyol and win at the Wanda, they will be crowned champions regardless of what their rivals do. Madrid will still be on 78 points on Sunday; depending on what happens on Thursday, Barça could be on 63 if they beat La Real, 61 if they draw or 60 if they lose in Donosti. Defeat to La Real and Rayo would leave them on 60 points, and effectively hand the title to Real Madrid. Madrid could be crowned champions if they beat Espanyol on Saturday 30 April and Barcelona lose to Mallorca the following day. That would leave Madrid needing just a point from the Week 36 game against Levante at the Bernabéu. Madrid are not in action this weekend due to the Copa del Rey final (between Betis and Valencia) but Barcelona will play their rescheduled Week 21 game against Rayo. If Barça lose to La Real and Rayo, Madrid will be declared champions without even having to play. Carlo Ancelotti’s team could be crowned champions, at the earliest, on Sunday night, although that will depend on how other results go.

MADRID (AP) — Un imperial Real Madrid se acercó más a la conquista de su 35ta corona de la Liga española al golear 3-1 en el campo del Osasuna, cuando.

El equipo gallego quedó en la 11ra casilla con 39 unidades. Llegó así a 12 pases de gol. El Real dio descanso a sus estelares mediocampistas Casemiro, Luka Modric y Toni Kroos, quien ingresó en la parte final. Para el Atlético la lucha en la recta final de la fase regular está en asegurarse un puesto para la próxima Champions League. Sevilla (60 puntos) y Barcelona (60) también están en zona de clasificación. El Atlético de Madrid abdicó a su condición de monarca en buena medida por los 13 de 18 puntos que ha cedido en sus choques ante el Alavés, Levante y Granada, equipos que a estas alturas están en la zona de descenso. Vinícius, quien llegó a 11 asistencias en el curso, también ingresó sólo en la última parte del duelo para tener descanso, pensando en que el martes afrontará el juego de ida de las semifinales de la Champions League ante el Manchester City.

Not even a bad day for Karim Benzema was enough to keep Real Madrid from moving closer to clinching the Spanish league title.

It was the fourth time in the last five matches that Atletico failed to score. Lucas Vazquez sealed the victory in stoppage time. The French striker scored hat tricks and decisive goals to help Madrid reach the Champions League semifinals. Benzema missed two penalty kicks seven minutes apart in the second half but Madrid went on to earn a 3-1 win at Osasuna Wednesday to open a 17-point lead over second-place Atletico Madrid, which can no longer catch its rival as both teams have five games left to play. He targeted both of his shots to the same side, with Herrera diving to his right to make the saves. We know that he will still score a lot in the remaining matches this season.”

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema failed to convert two penalty kicks within the space of seven minutes during Wednesday's La Liga win over Osasuna.

As Benzema prepared to take his second spot-kick, Herrera attempted to bluff him by pointing to the opposite side of the goal to the one where the Frenchman had placed his first effort. He had two golden chances to find the net again, but was twice denied by Osasuna keeper Sergio Herrera. Real were already 2-1 up when Benzema stepped up for his first penalty attempt.

"He will not be available", is all the club has provided us with in a brief statement. As we has learned, he is complaining of discomfort in his left leg.

At the beginning of September he suffered a knee injury that kept him out for 58 days. This is the 29th time he has been left out of a squad this season. As we at AS have learned, however, what the player is claiming is discomfort in his left leg; but nothing serious.

DCU prepared to pay more than Wayne Rooney in 2018. They had been in contact a bit ago but nothing materialised. D.C. United in talks with Gareth Bale’s reps about move to MLS, I’m told. When it comes to his Wales exploits, however, Bale has continued to shine and conjured up two stunning strikes in the World Cup play-off win over Austria in March. Bale would come in as United's third designated player to go along with Taxiarchis Fountas and Edison Flores, but would almost definitely have to take a substantial pay cut on the reported £570,000-a-week he earns at Real. The Welshman has played just 290 minutes in all competitions this season and looks destined to leave the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer.
