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, Jan 27 (Ians) This weekend’s matches for Matchday 19 of the 2022/23 La Liga season, closing the first half of the campaign and involve some huge fixtures including a Catalan derby between Girona Fc and Fc Barcelona and a top-of-the-table duel between second-placed Real Madrid and third-placed Real Sociedad.

Madrid, Jan 6 (Ians) Matchday 16 in La Liga comes after an intense week of Copa del Rey action, which will have given some sides confidence while leaving others with a few things to think about.
Here are the four things to look out for in Spain this weekend:
Problems For Barca Against Atletico Madrid
Although the return of defender Ronald Araujo after injury was good news for Barca coach Xavi Hernandez, that was Xavi’s only reason to be cheerful ahead of Sunday’s visit to play Atletico Madrid.
Barca needed extra time to get past the third tier, Cf Intercity in midweek and after Araujo was taken off, they looked weak at the back. They also missed chances without Robert Lewandowski leading the line, with both Ferran Torres and Memphis Depay misfiring.
That’s important as Lewandowski is suspended for the Atletico game along with Jordi Alba and they are...

Madrid (Spain), Oct 18 (Ians) Real Madrid return to La Liga action on Wednesday following their comfortable win at home to Fc Barcelona on Sunday, when they visit bottom side Elche.
Newly-crowned Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema will lead the Madrid attack, although coach Carlo Ancelotti is likely to maintain his policy of squad rotation, with Rodrygo, Nacho Fernandez and Antonio Rudiger — who will wear a protective face mask after his injury last week — all possible starters.
Thibaut Courtois remains doubtful with a back problem, although he is expected to be back at the weekend.
Elche appointed Jorge Almiron as coach last week and he led them to a creditable 2-2 draw away to Valencia last Saturday which should have been a 3-2 win after the referee disallowed a third Elche goal to instead award them a free kick.

Berlin, Aug 22 (Ians) Robert Lewandowski opened his account for Barcelona after just 44 seconds in a 4-1 victory against Real Sociedad as part of a brace to celebrate his birthday.
Aleksander Isak wasted no time in equalising for the hosts, who forced Marc Andre Ter Stegen into some fine saves and saw a second-half goal ruled out for offside, reports Dpa. Ansu Fati provided the inspiration to end Barcelona’s three-game streak without a win, coming off the bench to provide two assists in six minutes — Ousmane Dembele and Lewandowski the beneficiaries.
The Spaniard then added his name to the scoresheet after Lewandowski returned the favour, coolly slotting home to ensure all three points would come to Catalonia.
Barcelona’s barren streak of 360 minutes without a goal came to an abrupt end, Lewandowski steering home after Alejandro Balde led a counter-attack for the visitors to celebrate his birthday with his first La Liga goal.
