Real Madrid Beat Mallorca To Go 10 Points Clear

Real Madrid moved 10 points clear at the top of La Liga thanks to a comfortable away victory at Mallorca.

Following a goalless first half, Vinicius Jr scored 10 minutes after the restart, converting a pass from Karim Benzema to put Real ahead.

Benzema, who scored a hat-trick as Real beat Paris St-Germain 3-1 to seal a 3-2 aggregate win in the Champions League last 16, then scored twice himself.

He converted a penalty after Vinicius had been fouled and headed in a third.

When it was goalless, Mallorca came close to taking the lead but Pablo Maffeo's shot came back off the upright.

Real are 10 points clear of Sevilla with 10 La Liga games left for both sides, with arch-rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in third and fourth respectively, both a further five points behind.

Torres Double Helps Barcelona Ease Past Osasuna

Ferran Torres scored twice as Barcelona continued their impressive run of form by beating Osasuna for a fourth La Liga win in a row.

Former Manchester City striker Torres opened the scoring early on from the penalty spot after Gavi was fouled.

He got his second soon after with a clinical finish following a great through ball by Ousmane Dembele.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stabbed in from another Dembele assist before substitute Riqui Puig added a fourth.

The 22-year-old showed great composure after his initial shot had been parried, taking the ball round the goalkeeper and cutting inside two defenders before curling in.

Aubameyang’s goal, meanwhile, was his fifth in six La Liga games since joining from Arsenal, making him the second-fastest Barcelona player to reach five goals in the competition in the 21st century, after Samuel Eto’o in 2004 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2009.

The win moved Barcelona up to third on 51 points, although they remain way off the pace in the title battle with leaders Real Madrid on 63 points.

Real Madrid Return To The Top Of La Liga Table After A Comfortable Win Over Granada

Real Madrid returned to the top of La Liga table as they put four past Granada away from home.

Goals from Marco Asensio and Nacho gave Carlo Ancelotti’s side an early lead, but Granada’s Luis Suarez pulled a goal back just before half-time to give the hosts a possible lifeline in the tie.

Winger Vinicius Junior restored Los Blancos’ two-goal advantage shortly after the restart with Monchu receiving his marching orders for the hosts in the 67th minute, forcing the side to play with 10 men.

French left-back Ferland Mendy sealed victory for the visitors, adding a fourth after 76 minutes.

Granada’s struggles continue as the loss dropped the team into the bottom three on goal difference, while the win meant Real Madrid climbed above Sevilla and Real Sociedad to the summit of La Liga.

Real Sociedad Go Top Of La Liga Table After Draw With Atletico Madrid

Real Sociedad went back to the top of La Liga, after being held to a 2-2 draw by reigning champions, Atletico Madrid.

Luis Suarez scored a brace for the home side who survived a scare after going 2 goals down against the visitors.

La Real, who last won the title in 1982, led 2-0 when Alexander Isak set up Alexander Sorloth for the opener and then curled in a free-kick.

But Suarez pulled one back with a header from Joao Felix's cross.

And the veteran levelled with a penalty to make it 2-2 after he had been fouled by Mikel Merino.

Real Sociedad are one point above Real Madrid, who had gone top with a 2-1 win at Barcelona earlier in the day.

Third-placed Sevilla beat Levante 5-3 in Sunday's early game and Atletico are fourth - three points behind the leaders.
