Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City can rival Arsenal for the Premier League title if they maintain the standards showed in cruising past Sunderland 3-0 on Saturday.City cut the gap on the Gunners at the top of the table to two points as goals from Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and Phil Foden inflicted just Sunderland’s fourth defeat in 15 games back in the English top-flight.Rayan Cherki's spectacular rabona assist for Foden's goal capped a comfortable match for Guardiola's side.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>(Available to view in U.S. only)<figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

The consistency comes from the way you play and how much you grow whether you are 2-1 behind or 4-1 in front," said Guardiola."Today maybe has been one of the best performances of the season for 95 minutes. We had good momentum for the second half."It started from Wolves (in the first game of the season). The first half was really good, the second half we suffered. We did good things against Fulham in the first half and stopped in the second half. We talked about that and the reasons why."Arsenal have finished second for the past three seasons, losing out to City in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 campaigns.Mikel Arteta's men also still have to visit the Etihad in April and Guardiola said all his side can do is apply pressure to Arsenal, who are aiming to end a 22-year wait to win the title."In the Premier League, we had the feeling that Arsenal are going to drop few points and if you want to be there you have to win games and that comes from the way you perform - not just a lucky day or lucky action," added Guardiola."I want to see the team grow. In knockout stages of the Champions League or the FA Cup, if you play one bad game it’s over. But in the Premier League, it's long and the performance dictates if you will be there or not."Against Fulham it was three points but if we continue to do what we did in the second half, we have no chance. We will lose everywhere."

Emiliano Buendia shattered Arsenal's 18-match unbeaten run with the last-gasp strike that sealed Aston Villa's dramatic 2-1 win over the Premier League leaders on Saturday.Mikel Arteta's side fell behind to Matty Cash's first half goal at Villa Park before Leandro Trossard came off the bench to equalize for Arsenal after the interval.A pulsating clash featured squandered chances for both teams before Argentine winger Buendia capitalized on sloppy Arsenal defending to bag the winner with virtually the last kick of the game.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>It was Arsenal's first loss in all competitions since they were beaten for the only other time this season in a 1-0 loss at Liverpool on August 31."That is the league, you go to Old Trafford, you go to St James' Park, you go to Chelsea, you come here, we have been in a lot of difficult grounds," Arteta said, adding that he's confident his team can handle the mounting pressure."The result could have been different, the reality is not. We went 18 games unbeaten and still we are there, close to each other."That is the level of the league, we know that. That is the opportunity that we have ahead of us and that's it."Now it is time to bounce back, they have given me all the right reasons to think we are going to perform at the same level. We move on. We will learn from today and it will make us a better team."Villa have been a thorn in Arsenal's side several times in recent seasons, taking points from them at crucial moments in the title race.This was another frustrating encounter with Villa's former Arsenal manager Unai Emery, whose team have emerged as unexpected title contenders following a flurry of seven successive victories in all competitions.Arsenal are now just two points above second-placed Manchester City, with Villa a further point adrift in third after their big win.Emery had dismissed any talk of his side being in the title race this week, calling Arsenal the strongest team in Europe.But this was a significant statement of intent from Villa, who went toe to toe with Arsenal and delivered a painful blow to their title charge.It was an ideal time to play the north Londoners, who are dealing with a crisis at centre-back with William Saliba, Gabriel and Cristhian Mosquera all sidelined.Jurrien Timber moved from right-back to centre-back to fill the void alongside Piero Hincapie, but Arsenal never looked completely comfortable.Arteta has said that Arsenal are "prepared" to do business in the January transfer window if there is an option to "improve" the squad.Defensive reinforcements and additional attacking options may be needed if Arteta is to lead injury-prone Arsenal to their first English title since 2004.<h3>Frantic finale</h3>David Raya almost gifted Villa the perfect start with a nervous, miscued clearance that forced Arsenal's keeper to scramble back to save.Ollie Watkins grew up as an Arsenal fan and the Villa striker nearly made his boyhood favourites suffer in the opening minutes.Youri Tielemans' flick gave Watkins a clear sight of goal, but Raya made a superb save to repel his strike.Emiliano Martinez had to save from Bukayo Saka's curler moments later before Eberechi Eze's close-range finish was ruled out for offside.Cash scored Villa's winner against Manchester City earlier this season and he tormented another title contender in the 36th minute.Ian Maatsen's cross was flicked onto Cash at the far post and the defender slammed a fierce finish past Raya.With Arsenal having won only one of their previous 15 Premier League games when trailing at half-time, Arteta responded by sending on Trossard and Viktor Gyokeres.Belgian winger Trossard made an immediate impact, forcing a save from Martinez and then volleying inches wide from 10 yards.Arsenal had the momentum and they drew level thanks to Trossard in the 52nd minute.Martin Odegaard raced towards the Villa area and slipped in Saka, whose low cross reached Trossard for a clinical finish at the far post.Trossard's sixth goal this season took him to 50 in his Premier League career.Arteta's men were almost caught on the counter when Watkins broke free for a shot that Raya saved at full stretch.Odegaard's long-range rocket was brilliantly tipped over by Martinez, while Villa's Donyell Malen fired just wide in a frantic finale.Arsenal were seconds away from escaping with a draw but Buendia netted with a ferocious blast into the roof of the net from 12 yards after the Gunners made a hash of clearing.

Manchester United's issues defending a lead cost them a place in the Premier League's top five af...

Manchester United's issues defending a lead cost them a place in the Premier League's top five after lowly West Ham hit back to salvage a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Thursday.Diogo Dalot's first league goal in 19 months put Ruben Amorim's men in front but they failed to see the game out as Soungoutou Magassa secured a vital point in the visitors' battle to avoid relegation.United have only lost once in their last eight games, but could have been in a far better position but for dropped points from promising positions against Nottingham Forest, Tottenham, Everton and now West Ham.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The Red Devils sit eighth in the table, just two points off the top four. A draw edges West Ham to within two points of safety as their upturn under Nuno Espirito Santo continues.Amorim welcomed back Matheus Cunha from injury to bolster the United attack, but the hosts still lacked the invention and intensity required to break down the Hammers' well-organised defence.Joshua Zirkzee ended nearly a year-long wait for a Premier League goal to kickstart United's comeback to beat a jaded Crystal Palace on Sunday.But the Dutchman was again ineffective in the absence of the injured Benjamin Sesko as the focal point of the United attack.Zirkzee did come closest to breaking the deadlock before half-time when he improvised to thigh Amad Diallo's dangerous cross goalwards and Aaron Wan-Bissaka cleared off the line to deny his former club.West Ham's reprieve nearly lasted just a few seconds as the loose ball fell to Bruno Fernandes who clipped the outside of the post with an audacious attempt on the volley.The visitors were shorn of the threat of Lucas Paqueta after the Brazilian talked himself into a red card for dissent in Sunday's defeat to Liverpool.Jarrod Bowen therefore had to shoulder even more of the creative burden for the Hammers and nearly produced a goal out of nothing with a jinking run through four United challenges before his effort deflected kindly into the arms of Senne Lammens.United finally made their dominance of possession count through an unlikely source just before the hour mark.Amorim publicly admitted last week that Dalot was one of those "far from his best" in the United squad.The Portuguese full-back responded with his first Premier League goal since May 2024. Casemiro's deflected effort fell kindly for Dalot, but he showed his fleetness of foot to control before sweeping the ball into the far corner.But United were left to rue not building on their advantage as the Hammers hit back.Bowen was again the catalyst as he firstly won a corner and then flicked Andy Irvine's delivery goalwards.Noussair Mazraoui cleared off the line but only into the path of Magassa, who slotted home his first goal in English football.Fernandes still had two chances to snatch all three points in stoppage time but on both occasions lacked his normal composure with wild finishes that flew well over the bar.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 04: Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United look dejected after the draw in the Premier League match between Manchester United and West Ham United at Old Trafford on December 04, 2025 in Manchester, England.

Thomas Muller says his past results against Lionel Messi will count for little when he lines up for the Vancouver Whitecaps against Inter Miami in the MLS Cup final on Saturday.German great Muller, who joined Vancouver in August from Bayern Munich, has a winning record against Messi over the years both for club and country.But the charismatic 36-year-old says past results -- Muller has finished on the winning side in seven of 10 meetings with Messi -- will be irrelevant in Saturday's Major League Soccer showpiece in Florida.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>"I look back in the past and I feel very comfortable with that, because that's already in the books, and I had a lot of great experience in these games with my teams, so it was fun," said Muller, whose wins against Messi include Germany's 1-0 victory over Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final."But it doesn't really matter for Saturday, it's a new game," Muller added."Maybe it gives you the feeling that I always have my confidence to beat someone or to compete with someone as a team and as an individual. So I don't need my history that much to be confident."Muller also played down the significance of Vancouver's dominance of Messi and Miami during this season's CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-finals, when the Whitecaps won home and away to secure a 5-1 aggregate victory."They won against Inter Miami this season twice. But what does it mean?," Muller said."It gives you a little bit of good feeling. But in the end, the game is decided on the pitch and on Saturday -- in the future. "So it's a nice thing to talk about, and I hope we can continue to talk about it Saturday after the game."As well as the 2014 World Cup final, Muller's wins over Messi include Bayern Munich's 8-2 humiliation of Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2020, when the German star scored twice and was man-of-the-match.He also played in Bayern's 2-0 Champions League second leg win over Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 in a game that would turn out to be Messi's last appearance in European competition.

Mikel Arteta fears Arsenal's mounting injury problems will hamper their bid to win the Premier League title after Declan Rice and Cristhian Mosquera limped off in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Brentford.Arteta's side moved five points clear of second-placed Manchester City thanks to goals from Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka at the Emirates Stadium.The Gunners extended their unbeaten run to 18 matches in all competitions with an eighth successive home victory.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>But Arteta, already without first-choice centre-backs Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba through injury, was dealt a blow when Spanish defender Mosquera was forced off just before half-time.Even more alarmingly, England midfielder Declan Rice appeared to be nursing a calf injury when he was substituted 10 minutes from full-time."Obviously it's never good news. Declan had to come off. We don't know. We have to see tomorrow what he's got," said Arteta, who is also without Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard due to injuries."Declan can walk. He cannot play. The thing is, he's played a lot of minutes but as well, now we played Wednesday night and we have to play Saturday morning as well."With Arsenal having battled through a gruelling week featuring wins over Tottenham and Bayern Munich and a draw with title rivals Chelsea, Arteta had taken the opportunity to give a rest to Saka, Jurrien Timber and Eberechi Eze against the Bees.But all three were eventually needed off the bench, leaving Arteta to bemoan Arsenal's injury curse and question the Premier League fixture schedule ahead of a testing trip to in-form Aston Villa for Saturday's early kick-off."Rest, that's quite a positive word to use. We had to make some changes," he said."We had a very demanding week at every level. We were asked to play three days later, with one less recovery day than them."We can play minutes but if they can please give us just a little more time to recover and to make the welfare of these players a little bit easier, that would be great."

Serie A champions Napoli edged into the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup on Wednesday, eventually seeing off Cagliari on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.Antonio Conte's charges squeezed through 9-8 in the shoot-out after Sebastiano Esposito's second-half strike for the visitors had cancelled out Lorenzo Lucca's opener on 28 minutes.The last-16 tie went straight to penalties after the 90 minutes, as per Italian Cup rules.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Cagliari's fourth penalty taker, Mattia Felici, was the first to blink, his attempt crashing against the crossbar. But Brazilian David Neres missed his chance to be the match-winner as his next effort was easily saved by Elia Caprile. Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic made his first save of the shoot-out at the 10th time of asking as he denied Zito Luvumbo, before Alessandro Buongiorno netted to send the hosts through. "It was an interminable run of penalties," Napoli coach Conte said. "At the end of the day, the team that deserved it the most went through."In the last eight, Napoli will face the winners of the tie between Como and Fiorentina, scheduled for the end of January.Elsewhere, Atalanta ran out 4-0 victors at home to Genoa.Inter Milan were equally handsome winners as they downed second-division Venezia 5-1 at the San Siro, with France international Marcus Thuram grabbing a brace for Cristian Chivu's side.The round of 16 continues on Thursday as defending champions Bologna host Parma.

Liverpool needed a late Nordi Mukiele own-goal to avoid another damaging defeat at home in a 1-1 draw with Sunderland on Wednesday.The equaliser did little to lift the gloom around Anfield as Liverpool sit eighth.The champions were hoping to have turned a corner with a much-needed 2-0 victory at West Ham on Sunday.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>However, it was the same old story for Arne Slot's men as the combination of defensive errors and a lack of attacking fluency cost them another two points.Sunderland took the lead on 67 minutes when Chemsdine Talbi pounced on a sloppy pass by Virgil van Dijk to fire in from outside the box.Florian Wirtz thought he had finally opened his Liverpool account after a £100 million move from Bayer Leverkusen to salvage a point, but his strike took a wicked deflection and was eventually credited as a Mukiele own-goal.Sunderland should still have registered their first Anfield win since 1983 when Wilson Isidor raced clear in stoppage time but was denied by a goal-line clearance by Federico Chiesa.

Chelsea's Premier League title challenge suffered a huge setback as lowly Leeds swept to a shock 3-1 win at Elland Road on Wednesday.Enzo Maresca's side paid the price for a woeful first-half performance featuring Leeds goals from Jaka Bijol and Ao Tanaka.Pedro Neto reduced the deficit after the interval but Chelsea conceded a farcical third goal to Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the closing stages.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Losing to a fourth-bottom Leeds side beaten in their previous four games was a major setback to Chelsea's hopes of competing with leaders Arsenal for the title.The Blues' first defeat in eight games in all competitions left them nine points behind Arsenal in fourth place.Chelsea were without influential midfielder Moises Caicedo after the Ecuador star was sent off in Sunday's stormy 1-1 draw against Arsenal.The Blues had recovered from Caicedo's dismissal to take the lead through Trevoh Chalobah, but couldn't hold on as Mikel Merino snatched Arsenal's equaliser.Maresca rested Neto, Reece James, and Wesley Fofana in a bid to freshen up his side.But Chelsea still looked drained from facing Arsenal with 10 men for so long and Leeds took full advantage of their mental and physical fatigue.Leeds struck after just six minutes when Anton Stach's corner picked out Bijol and he rose above Liam Delap to power his header past Robert Sanchez.<h3>Rude awakening</h3>Chelsea had won just 29 percent of their league matches when Caicedo was out of the starting line-up and they struggled again without their driving force.Pascal Struijk glanced a header narrowly wide from another corner to underline Chelsea's lethargy at the back.Delap scuffed a good chance to haul Chelsea back into the game against the run of play.Leeds' sublime second goal in the 43rd minute was a rude awakening for Chelsea's title prospects.Japan midfielder Tanaka took possession just outside the Chelsea area and unleashed a ferocious shot that arrowed past Sanchez.Chelsea have never come back to win a Premier League away game when trailing by two or more goals at half-time.Neto came off the bench to give them hope of ending that dismal streak in the 50th minute.Jamie Gittens clipped a cross into the six-yard box and Neto took a touch before drilling home for his fifth league goal this season.Delap slammed his shot into the side-netting to Maresca's frustration as Chelsea chased an equaliser.Maresca sent on Cole Palmer for the England forward's first appearance in two months after an injury-plagued spell that included fracturing his toe after stubbing it on a door.Palmer's introduction alongside Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho almost conjured an immediate equaliser.Garnacho's run and cross teed up Palmer for a low strike that fizzed just wide from 10 yards.But Chelsea shot themselves in the foot to gift Leeds the decisive third goal in the 72nd minute.It was a shambolic moment as Malo Gusto's pass inside his own area put Tosin Adarabioyo under pressure.Adarabioyo's panicked pass towards Sanchez was intercepted by Noah Okafor and when the Chelsea keeper blocked the shot, Calvert-Lewin was on hand to tap into the empty net as Maresca looked on in disbelief.

Harry Kane scored a first-half header as Bayern Munich did just enough to reach the German Cup quarter-finals in a 3-2 win at Union Berlin on Wednesday.Bayern gave away two penalties and Union scored two own-goals in a wild encounter in the German capital. Both own-goals came from Bayern set-pieces, while Union's Leopold Querfeld twice converted from the spot. <div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The win takes Bayern through to the last eight of the German Cup -- a competition they have won a record 20 times -- for just the second time in the past six seasons. "It hasn't been our competition in the past few years and we spoke at the start of the season about giving ourselves the best opportunity," Kane told reporters. "Tonight we found a way to get through even if it wasn't our prettiest game. We back ourselves to beat any team at the moment."Bayern travelled to Berlin to face the only side to take a point off them in 19 games in Germany this season, with the sides fighting out a 2-2 draw at the same venue in early November.Union's hopes of another surprise result took an early hit when Ilyas Ansah let a Joshua Kimmich corner bounce off his thigh and into his own net with 12 minutes gone. The hosts were undone again by another Kimmich corner 12 minutes later, with Kane jumping high to double Bayern's lead. A Jonathan Tah handball brought Union a penalty, converted by Querfeld on the 40-minute mark, but the hosts gifted Bayern another goal just before half-time, Union's Diogo Leite heading in a Michael Olise free-kick.Bayern again invited Union into the match early in the second half, Kane giving away a penalty for a stray elbow, which Querfeld again converted to cut the deficit to one. The penalty galvanised the hosts, who pinned their star opponents back for much of the second half, but Bayern did just enough to hold on and reach the next round.

Pau Torres then turned past Bizot into his own net from Jack Hinshelwood's cross.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Ollie Watkins had scored just once in 19 previous appearances this season but turned the game around with a quickfire double before the break.The England striker forced in Ian Maatsen's low cross before latching onto Morgan Rogers' brilliant through ball to slam past Bart Verbruggen.Amadou Onana completed the comeback with a back-post header from Matty Cash's corner before Donyell Malen made it 4-2.Centre-back Van Hecke curled in his second of the night to set up a tense finale, but Brighton succumbed to their first home defeat of the season.

Nice were ordered by French football authorities Wednesday to play a match behind closed doors after repeated crowd disturbances that disrupted their 5-1 loss to Marseille.The Ligue 1 game at Nice's Allianz Riviera stadium last month was stopped twice, after a lighter was thrown at a Marseille player and then for a second time when Nice fans let off a series of fireworks.A blanket ban on supporters will apply to Nice's French Cup tie against Saint-Etienne in the round of 64 on December 21.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The French league's disciplinary committee also imposed a partial stadium closure on Nice for the top-flight game at home to Strasbourg at the start of January. Nice have lost six matches in a row and an investigation into aggravated assault was opened this week after a confrontation between players and supporters at the team's training centre Sunday following their return from the 3-1 loss in Lorient.Two players subsequently lodged complaints with the police. Nice said Terem Moffi, Jeremie Boga and Jonathan Clauss were victims of physical and verbal assaults. Moffi and Boga have both been placed on sick leave by the club.

Mikel Merino maintained his emergence as Arsenal's unlikely goal king as the makeshift striker inspired the Premier League leaders' 2-0 win against Brentford on Wednesday.Merino has been converted from a central midfielder to the fulcrum of Arsenal's attack due to injuries to Viktor Gyokores, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.The Spain international has risen to the challenge with five goals this season, including the first-half header that opened the scoring at the Emirates Stadium.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>It was the second successive game that Merino delivered a vital contribution to Arsenal's title challenge after his equaliser at title rivals Chelsea on Sunday.Thanks to Merino, and Bukayo Saka's strike in the closing moments, Mikel Arteta's side moved five points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who won 5-4 at Fulham on Tuesday.Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 18 games in all competitions as they chase a first English title since 2004.After finishing as Premier League runners-up for the last three seasons, the Gunners are showing the priceless ability to grind out results when they are not at their best.After coming from behind to avoid defeat at 10-man Chelsea on Sunday, Arteta was concerned about the potential for an emotional and physical hangover from his players against Brentford.Arteta called for Arsenal fans to turn up "like animals" at the Emirates Stadium to help roar his team to victory.In the end, the atmosphere was more nervous than Arteta would have liked as Arsenal clung to their lead, but far more raucous days lie ahead if his team retain pole position in the title race.Dropping Saka, Eberechi Eze and Jurrien Timber to the bench to keep them fresh ahead of the hectic Christmas schedule, Arteta brought in Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Ben White, who made his first league start since August.<h3>Arsenal grind it out</h3>Arsenal were without injured centre-backs William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, but Brentford boss Keith Andrews did Arteta a favour by benching prolific Brazilian forward Igor Thiago and the Gunners kept their first clean-sheet in five matches.Andrews deployed a back five in a bid to frustrate Arsenal but it took Merino just 11 minutes to breach the visitors' defence.Madueke's clever back-heel allowed White to whip a cross towards Merino and the Spaniard timed his run perfectly to guide a header past Caoimhin Kelleher from six yards.Arsenal pressed hard for a second and Madueke's low drive was repelled by Kelleher before White fired into the side-netting.Brentford nearly snatched an equaliser completely against the run of play when Kevin Schade's thumping header from a corner was superbly tipped onto the crossbar by David Raya.Arsenal have conceded just two goals at home in the league this season, but their defensive injury problems mounted just before half-time when Cristhian Mosquera limped off.Mosquera's departure knocked Arsenal out of their stride and the second half became a war of attrition as the Gunners tried in vain to recapture their first half swagger.Arteta responded by introducing Saka and Eze, a move that immediately revived Arsenal as Riccardo Calafiori's blast was well saved by Kelleher.Declan Rice tested Kelleher with a 20-yard rocket that the goalkeeper pushed out to Merino, who poked wide from close range.Rice was forced off in the closing stages in a worrying sight for Arteta.Saka ensured Arsenal wouldn't miss the England midfielder as he raced clear to wrap up the points with a stinging strike that Kelleher could only parry into the net.

LONDON, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 03: Mikel Merino of Arsenal scores a goal to make it 1-0 during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Brentford at Emirates Stadium on December 03, 2025 in London, England.

German Cup holders Stuttgart cruised into the quarter-finals on Wednesday with a 2-0 win away to 10-man Bochum.Bochum defender Philipp Strompf had a horror first half, looping a header into his own net and then getting sent off just before half-time. Stuttgart striker Deniz Undav put Stuttgart firmly on track for victory with a header early in the second half, lifting his tally to seven goals in his past four games across the league and cup.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Stuttgart will be joined in the next round by Freiburg, who won 2-0 at home against second-division Darmstadt. Italy midfielder Vincenzo Grifo put Freiburg in front from the spot late in the first half and set Lucas Hoeler up for a clever dinked finish in the second period. Grifo had another chance from the penalty spot late on but smacked his effort over the crossbar.

Kylian Mbappe scored twice and set up another as Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 to cut Barcelona's La Liga lead back down to one point on Wednesday.Xabi Alonso's side curtailed a run of three consecutive league draws away from home with one of their best displays of the season at Athletic's San Mames.Mbappe opened the scoring early on as Trent Alexander-Arnold provided his first La Liga assist, with Eduardo Camavinga nodding in the second before the break.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>French superstar Mbappe slammed home another in the second half for his 16th league goal of the season to seal Madrid's victory."I think the team played a complete game today, concentrating for the whole 90 minutes... it was probably the best match we've had, at a difficult place to go, at a big moment, and we took it on calmly and now we must continue," Alonso told reporters."After (last weekend's) draw at Girona we knew it was a big moment, and after getting it out of our system we'll start thinking about Sunday's match against Celta (Vigo)."The calendar is very demanding and you can't think for too long about things, in the good moments and the bad ones."One negative for Los Blancos were apparent injuries for Alexander-Arnold and Camavinga in the second half, with both players replaced.Mbappe missed a penalty in the same fixture last winter while still finding his feet at Madrid, later saying that was his "rock bottom", but on his return Athletic found themselves up against arguably the best player in the world."Kylian's in great form, he scored two great goals today, with the movement he had, the connection with Vini (Vinicius Junior) was very good, and the team came out to play from the first minute, to win the game," added Alonso.Mbappe almost sent Real Madrid ahead in the fourth minute but Unai Simon made a smart save at his near post, and then parried a Vinicius effort.Madrid came out of the blocks strongly against eighth-place Athletic and took the lead in the seventh minute, through a brilliant Mbappe goal.Alexander-Arnold picked out the forward with a fine long pass and Mbappe drifted menacingly towards the box and produced a perfect finish to beat Simon.Gorka Guruzeta fired over and forced Thibaut Courtois into a good save at the other end, on one of Athletic's rare forays forward.Their best chance came when Nico Williams and Alex Berenguer combined but Courtois produced a superb stop to deny the latter.<h3>Mbappe-Vini connection</h3>It woke Madrid back up and they took control once again, threatening twice through Vinicius, who was connecting efficiently with Mbappe.The Brazilian winger hit the outside of the post with a low effort from a tight angle, with Simon out of his goal attempting to block him off.The goalkeeper made an excellent save to thwart Vinicius one-on-one a few minutes later after Eder Militao sent him through on goal.Madrid grabbed their second before the interval at the end of a fine team move, with Mbappe nodding Alexander-Arnold's cross back across goal for Camavinga to head home from point-blank range.Courtois tipped over Mikel Jauregizar's fierce effort from range early in the second half to stop Athletic earning a foothold in the game.The first of two sour notes came for Madrid when Alexander-Arnold pulled up with an apparent muscular injury and had to be replaced by Raul Asencio.Mbappe put the game beyond doubt with another long-range effort which flew in at the near post for his 25th goal across all competitions. Simon might have done more to keep it out, perhaps undoing some of his earlier good work.Camavinga was taken off hurt later on in another potential injury blow for former Real Sociedad player Alonso, on an otherwise dream outing in the Basque Country against his former rivals.The coach even got a warm embrace from Vinicius when he substituted the Brazilian, despite the player seeming to be at loggerheads with him over the past few weeks."They were stronger than us," admitted Athletic defender Inigo Lekue."We tried to play our game and couldn't, no matter what we did."

Cristian Romero shinned a bizarre overhead kick past Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in the dying moments to secure a 2-2 draw for Thomas Frank's beleaguered Tottenham on Tuesday.Eddie Howe's team will be kicking themselves after twice letting their lead slip on home turf but Frank will breathe a sigh of relief after three straight defeats in all competitions.Spurs captain Romero cancelled out Newcastle substitute Bruno Guimaraes' second-half opener in the 78th minute with a fine diving header.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Antony Gordon, another Newcastle substitute, appeared to have secured all three points after putting the home side back ahead from the penalty spot eight minutes later.But Romero found an equaliser deep into stoppage time when his scuffed shot somehow sneaked through a knot of players and into Ramsdale's net, leaving Newcastle scratching their heads.Newcastle dominated possession for the bulk of the first half but had little of substance to show for their efforts.They were a whisker away from taking the lead in the 35th minute when Joelinton, attacking down the right, shot across Guglielmo Vicario but saw his strike cannon back off the post.Moments later Spurs themselves went close to going ahead after a moment of magic from Lucas Bergvall.Mohammed Kudus played a low ball across the face of goal to the midfielder, whose clever backheel sailed just over Ramsdale's bar.That signalled a brighter spell for the away side but the teams were deadlocked at half-time.Spurs survived a double scare early in the second half. First Vicario saved from Harvey Barnes and when the ball fell for Nick Woltemade, Kevin Danso cleared the German's header off the line.With a quarter of the game to go, Howe threw on Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga for Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy.Five minutes after his introduction, England international Gordon raced down the left wing and delivered the ball into the box.It came back out and fell for Guimaraes, who produced a superb side-footed shot into the far corner in the 71st minute.But seven minutes later Spurs were level. Kudus crossed from the right and Romero meet the ball with a diving header.Rodrigo Bentancur and Dan Burn got into a tangle in the penalty box and play looked set to continue.But referee Thomas Bramall was called to the pitchside monitor and awarded a penalty after a VAR review.Gordon converted powerfully but still the drama was not finished.Romero flew into the air in the 95th minute and met a Spurs corner. It was not the cleanest strike but it dribbled in, earning a precious point for the visitors.

Bayer Leverkusen knocked Borussia Dortmund out in the last 16 of the German Cup, Ibrahim Maza scoring the only goal in a 1-0 away win on Tuesday.Maza's 34th-minute strike put the 2024 cup winners on track for victory and exact instant revenge on Dortmund, who beat them 2-1 in their own backyard in the Bundesliga three days ago. The goal was: "a bit of instinct and a bit of luck too, but that's part of it -- that's normal in football," Maza told Sky Germany.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Leverkusen will be joined in the quarter-finals by RB Leipzig, who beat Magdeburg 3-1 at home, along with Hertha Berlin and St Pauli, who won earlier on Tuesday. Forlorn Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton told Sky Germany his side would "need a day or two to process" the "incredibly brutal" defeat, adding "we set ourselves high goals and we wanted to win this competition."Bundesliga heavyweights Dortmund and Leverkusen had met 109 times in all competitions dating back to the early 1950s but had never faced off in the German Cup. Dortmund had an early penalty shout waved away when former Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah held Carney Chukwuemeka inside the box.A goalscorer in Leverkusen's shock 2-0 Champions League win at Manchester City, the 20-year-old Maza danced through some sleepy Dortmund defence to blast his side in front. Leverkusen netted again on the hour mark through Martin Terrier in a move started by Maza, but the strike was chalked off for a narrow offside. Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi had a chance to level deep into stoppage time, but he headed inches wide of the post.Elsewhere, Christoph Baumgartner scored twice as RB Leipzig came from a goal down to beat lowly Magdeburg. Magdeburg, sitting dead last in the second division, took an early lead through a Silas Gnaka penalty. Leipzig hit back with a long-range rocket from Antonio Nusa and led 2-1 at halftime after Baumgartner scored.Assisted by Nusa, Baumgartner scored again early in the second-half to see the two-time cup winners through. Earlier on Tuesday, St Pauli broke out of their recent Bundesliga funk to win 2-1 at three-time winners Borussia Monchengladbach. Pauli had lost their last nine league matches but goals from Martijn Kaars and Louis Oppie either side of a header from Gladbach's Haris Tabakovic had the Hamburg-based side marching into the final eight.In the German capital, Hertha Berlin thumped 2024 finalists Kaiserslautern 6-1, with 16-year-old Kennet Eichhorn becoming the youngest goalscorer in the competition's history. Bayern Munich, winners a record 20 times, play at Union Berlin on Wednesday while holders Stuttgart are away at Bochum.

Barcelona produced an impressive comeback to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 on Tuesday and move four points clear at the top of La Liga.Alex Baena fired Atletico ahead but Raphinha equalised for the champions before Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres slotted home to end the visitors' run of 13 straight league games without defeat.Barca might have been more comfortable had Robert Lewandowski not ballooned a first half penalty over the bar at the partially rebuilt Camp Nou.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Real Madrid, second, visit Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday aiming to peg Barca back, while Diego Simeone's Atletico are fourth, six points behind the Catalans.This was Barca's fifth consecutive Liga win after losing the Clasico against Madrid in October, but they have not shone consistently in that period, and coming against a title rival this display gave Flick's side a welcome boost."This is the spirit we need to have to turn around games like this," Raphinha told Movistar."We're building confidence game by game, and these three points are going to be vital for the end of the season, they can decide a title race."Barca were without defender Ronald Araujo, who is taking a mental health break according to Spanish reports, along with ill midfielder Frenkie de Jong and the longer-term absentees.After a 3-0 thrashing at Chelsea last week in the Champions League, followed by a shaky win over Alaves to claim pole position in La Liga, nerves were jangling at Camp Nou.Following a tense start, Atletico took the lead with, predictably, a ball in behind Barcelona's persistently high defensive line.Baena scampered through on goal and beat Joan Garcia, barely celebrating because he could sense the linesman's raised flag behind him.However a VAR review showed the Spaniard was level with Pau Cubarsi when he broke and the goal was reinstated.Barcelona responded rapidly and levelled in the 26th minute when Pedri, back fit to start, played in Raphinha.The Brazilian winger, another player recently back from injury, took the ball around Jan Oblak and slid it into the empty net.Barca should have taken the lead but Lewandowski spurned a penalty, blazing high and wide of Oblak's goal after Pablo Barrios brought down Dani Olmo.The Polish veteran almost made amends moments later but Oblak brilliantly clawed out his header from Lamine Yamal's cross.Raphinha pulled an effort wide early in the second half when he should have hit the target and Giuliano Simeone could not get a clean shot away with the goal beckoning at the other end.<h3>Olmo's sacrifice</h3>Olmo, who netted twice against Alaves on Saturday, sent Barcelona ahead with a slick finish after Lewandowski managed to bundle the ball into his path.Olmo, a playmaker who has struggled for consistency at Barca amid various physical problems, sustained a shoulder injury falling as he shot and was replaced by Marcus Rashford.Pedri, who was controlling the game for Barca also went down hurt after 70 minutes and Flick replaced him, with fans left hoping it was only a scare ahead of next week's important Champions League match against Frankfurt.Atletico substitute Thiago Almada had his team's best chance of equalising but after bursting across the penalty area he lost balance and screwed his finish wide as Joan Garcia scrambled.Former Barca forward Antoine Griezmann had another opportunity for the visitors but mishit his shot.Oblak saved from Rashford in stoppage time before Alejandro Balde found Torres to cap Barca's win and claim his side three vital points in the title race while dealing Atletico's own ambitions a blow."Barca were superior. We had a couple of chances to equalise and in the last second they scored the third," Oblak told Movistar."Barca had a great game, they had chances. We tried and we had two chances to level but unhappily it wasn't to be today."

BARCELONA, SPAIN - DECEMBER 2: Ferran Torres of FC Barcelona celebrates the 3-1 with Pau Cubarsi of FC Barcelona, Jules Kounde of FC Barcelona, Fermin Lopez of FC Barcelona, Dro Fernandez of FC Barcelona, Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona, Marcus Rashford of FC Barcelona during the LaLiga EA Sports match between FC Barcelona v Atletico Madrid at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium on December 2, 2025 in Barcelona Spain
