Barcelona vs Real Madrid is La Liga’s showpiece fixture. Over the years, plenty of star players have made their mark for the Catalans or Los Blancos – or both. And for some, they thrived under the pressure of appearing in El Clásico without being asked twice.

Here, we have taken a look back through the history books and found the last 15 players to score on their league El Clásico debut.

The Top 11 El Clásico Goalscorers This Century

Who has scored the most often in El Clásico since 2000?

1 ByBarney Lane May 10, 2025 1 Jude Bellingham (2023/24) 28th October 2023: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham announced himself as a Real Madrid hero when his brace defeated Barcelona in Catalonia thanks to a last-minute winner.

Bellingham was appearing in his first El Clásico clash following his move from Borussia Dortmund, with the English midfielder scoring goals for fun in his early Madrid career.

His double against Barca was not only his first Clasico goals, but also saw him reach 10 La Liga goals in 11 matches. He ended with 23 in all competitions, winning the league and the Champions League.

2 Ilkay Gundogan (2023/24) 28th October 2023: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid

In that same game in late 2023, Ilkay Gundogan briefly threatened to overshadow Bellingham’s big day when he netted six minutes into his first El Clásico matchup.

Gundogan had joined after leaving Manchester City in the preceding summer, having just led the Citizens to their historic treble.

While the move didn’t work out for the former Germany international, he did briefly have his name up in lights before Bellingham stole his thunder.

3 Ferran Torres (2021/22) 20th March 2022: Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona

Having joined Barca from Manchester City in January 2022, the £55m signing was just two months into his career at Camp Nou.

At the time of the 2021/22 season’s first Clasico, Madrid were flying high at the top of the table, whilst Xavi’s Barcelona were languishing some way behind in third – meaning the hosts were certainly heading into the affair as the favourites.

But nobody could’ve predicted what ensued. The subsequent title winners were thumped 4-0 on their own patch, and Ferran Torres netted the third for his first strike in this fixture.

The fleet-footed wide player drifted in from the left and thundered home Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s audacious cut-back to score on his El Clásico debut.

4 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (2021/22) 20th March 2022: Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted a brace on his El Clásico debut in the aforementioned thumping Barca dealt Real in early 2022.

Like Torres, the Gabonese forward left the Premier League in favour of a move to the Catalan club and was signed during the winter transfer window that year.

Following a goal-littered four-year stint with Arsenal, Aubameyang opted to begin a new chapter in Spain and found the net 13 times in 24 outings for Barca.

5 Sergio Agüero (2021/22) 24th October 2021: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid

Following his departure from Manchester City in the summer of 2021, Sergio Agüero was assigned as Barca’s new centre-forward.

After an injury-stricken start to life back in Spain, the Argentina international was making only his second appearance of the season, coming on as a second-half substitute for his El Clásico debut.

With the hosts 2-0 down, Agüero pulled one back after stroking home Sergiño Dest’s cross in the seventh minute of stoppage time, though it ultimately came too late.

6 David Alaba (2021/22) 24th October 2021: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid

Prior to Aguero’s consolation, David Alaba opened the scoring quite brilliantly after powering home a well-struck left-footed effort into the far corner, leaving Marc-André ter Stegen helpless.

It was the Austrian’s first goal for Los Blancos following his arrival from Bayern Munich, which ended a trophy-laden 13-year spell with the Bundesliga giants.

Alaba and his side went on to win La Liga, the Champions League and the Spanish Super Cup that year, so it was not a bad first season in Madrid.

7 Óscar Mingueza (2020/21) 10th April 2021: Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona

With the visitors 2-0 down 30 minutes from time, La Masia academy graduate Óscar Mingueza pulled one back for Barcelona with a neat finish to give his side a lifeline in this La Liga clash.

Barca midfielder Ilaix Moriba came inches away from completing a remarkable turnaround as his effort struck the woodwork in stoppage time.

Victory for the hosts moved them to the summit of the league table, whilst Ronald Koeman’s team dropped to third, a point behind their bitter rivals.

Mingueza went on to make 66 appearances for his boyhood club before departing for Celta Vigo in 2022.

8 Arturo Vidal (2018/19) 28th October 2018: Barcelona 5-1 Real Madrid

Barcelona completed a demolition job against Real, who were struggling under the stewardship of former Spain boss Julen Lopetegui in the opening stages of the 2018/19 season.

Lopetegui received the sack a day later as Los Blancos languished in 9th, seven points adrift of league leaders Barca.

Former Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suárez netted to put their side 2-0 up heading into the break, before the Uruguayan forward added a third and fourth in the second half to complete his hat-trick.

And with three minutes of normal time remaining, El Clásico debutant Arturo Vidal headed home a fifth to make matters worse for the visitors.

9 Jesé (2013/14) 26th October 2013: Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid

Barcelona summer arrival Neymar broke the deadlock in the 19th minute of the first Clasico of the 2013/14 season before Alexis Sánchez netted an exquisite chip 12 minutes from time to extend his side’s lead.

Real Madrid’s Jesé, then 20 years old, scored a stoppage-time consolation goal assisted by Cristiano Ronaldo. Regardless of the result, it will likely remain a joyous memory for the Spaniard, who was playing in his first clash against Barca.

Premier League fans may be familiar with the former Real winger’s brief time with Stoke City, though his sole season with the Potters wasn’t particularly inspiring, scoring just once in 13 outings.

10 Neymar (2013/14) 26th October 2013: Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid

Unsurprisingly, Neymar, the player who went on to become the world’s most expensive footballer, scored in his first El Clásico.

Having signed following a mega-money transfer from Brazilian outfit Santos, expectations were high upon the forward’s arrival.

He was already a global superstar after lighting up Brazil’s top flight, with many of his skilful montages going viral, so fans waited in anticipation to see how he’d fare against one of the continent’s most feared sides.

In spite of the pressure, Neymar took centre stage and opened the scoring for the Catalan club, striking a low effort into the bottom-right corner.

Neymar went on to score 15 goals that year, laying on as many assists.

The South Africa batter on finding his touch, dealing with conditions in the UAE, navigating a packed cricket calendar, and more

Ashish Pant26-Sep-2024It has been a strange 2024 for Aiden Markram. As captain, he has been phenomenal. He started the year leading Sunrisers Eastern Cape to their second successive SA20 title and then became the first captain to guide South Africa into the final of a men’s T20 World Cup in June. The T20I series loss against West Indies was little more than a blemish on his record.But his returns with the bat have taken a hit. There was a breathtaking century against India in the second Test in Cape Town in January, but barring that, his only 50-plus score this year across formats is the unbeaten 69 he hit in the third ODI against Afghanistan last week. It was a crucial innings in many ways, helping South Africa avoid a 3-0 clean sweep, but Markram’s form in general has been a concern. This becomes especially true in T20Is, where he last scored a half-century in October 2022.Markram, however, isn’t concerned about his lean patch, insisting he has felt “quite good with bat in hand.”Related

Markram 69 helps South Africa sign off with big win

“I mean, it’s all just cricket, really. You can feel as good as you want and not score runs, and that’s just the nature of the beast, unfortunately,” Markram told reporters in an interaction organised by ahead of the two-match T20I series against Ireland.”Some challenging wickets at the World Cup, but all in all, been feeling quite good with bat in hand. Obviously, was nice to get some runs in the last ODI, but a lot of the time I just measure form as to how much I can contribute to my team winning games and not necessarily the amount of runs that I’m scoring.”So that’s what I’m going to take with me moving forward, and hopefully, I can score some runs so that the team is in a good position and can win games are cricket.”Markram will hope to quickly find his 20-over rhythm, especially after South Africa’s heavy defeats to Afghanistan in the ODIs and the fact that they haven’t brought their strongest set of players on this UAE leg.Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller and Kagiso Rabada are some of the key names missing from the squad for the Ireland series. Nine of the 15 players in the T20I squad are yet to play more than ten T20 games. Add to that Reeza Hedricks’ lean run and that leaves a South Africa unit devoid of experience and form.Markram, though, feels that the players selected for this tour all have what it takes to succeed at the international level.”There’s a few guys that have put up their hands domestically back at home in the SA20 itself as well,” he said. “You look at a guy like Wiaan Mulder come on. Matthew Breetzke had a really good SA20. And then Nqaba Peter, of course, he’s got that X-factor. He’s still really, really young and really raw, but he has a lot of those attributes that we like as a team.”So there’s a few guys that deserve to be here firstly, and deserve to have that opportunity to grow their games as cricketers and get exposed to international cricket. And hopefully, if they get a fair opportunity and feel really comfortable in the environment, they can start putting in some nice performances for the team.”Markram became the first South Africa captain to lead the team into a World Cup final•Getty ImagesAnother thing that the South Africans have had to contend with on this UAE tour is the conditions. In sweltering heat in Sharjah during the ODI series, they often found themselves under the pump. The conditions are unlikely to change much when it comes to Abu Dhabi, but Markam feels having been in the UAE for a while should hold them in good stead.”From your heat point of view, it’s just as hot here [in Abu Dhabi], if not hotter and slightly more humid [than Sharjah]. So, it’s nice to have been here now for a while and played in an ODI series going into this T20 series. That’s a big positive for us,” he said. “Sharjah obviously spun quite a bit, or at least a fair amount, and the wicket was pretty placid. I think Abu Dhabi, I haven’t played too much cricket here, but I don’t think it’s going to be as bare a wicket as maybe Sharjah was.”If I look at our nets that we had last night, it’s actually a little bit of movement off the wicket, and they left quite a bit more grass on it compared to Sharjah. We’ll have to be sharp. We’ll have another look at it today at training and try get as much info as we can, just from looking at it with the naked eye. But it’ll ultimately come down to us assessing it in the first few balls, first over tomorrow, and coming up with those plans.”The last time South Africa faced Ireland in an international game was back in 2022 and while the Irish spinners might not trouble the South African batters as much as Afghanistan’s did, Markram is not taking them lightly.

“It is quite a busy schedule, but if you’d offered this to us as a kid growing up, we would have given lots for it”Markram on the cricket calendar

“We’ve all seen how good the Irish team has been over the last few years, and how much they’ve progressed as a team” he said. “Naturally, we don’t face them maybe as much as other teams, so it’ll just be trying to get accustomed to that as quick as we can, and trying to get an understanding of their plans as quick as we can, so that we can try to combat it ourselves.”South Africa have a busy schedule in front of them. After the T20I and ODI series against Ireland, they next travel to Bangladesh before going back home for a T20I series against India. Then they host Sri Lanka and Pakistan at home followed by the SA20 before they travel to Pakistan for a tri-nation series, also involving New Zealand.Markram, however, feels that a packed cricket schedule has become the norm and rotating and managing players will be the way forward.”Yeah, there’s lots of cricket. But we’re not the only team that’s playing lots of cricket. All the teams around the world are playing lots of cricket,” he said. “It’s down to the individual to manage their time wisely, look after their body, and give themselves the best chance of being really sharp for each and every series.”It is quite a busy schedule, but if you’d offered this to us as a kid growing up, we would have given lots for it. That’s sort of how we try to see it, and we take each series on as best we can.”

And has any team made more than England’s 170 to win a T20I by ten wickets?

Steven Lynch15-Nov-2022Ben Stokes has now played in three World Cup finals – is that the most for England? And who’s played the most all told? asked Richard Baker from England

Ben Stokes has now appeared in three World Cup finals – one of 50 overs and two T20s – and has played a central role in each. He’s one of five England players to have played in three, after Graham Gooch (two of 50 overs and one of 60, all lost), Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan and Adil Rashid.In all, 26 men have played in three World Cup finals, and four in four. But a distinguished quartet of Sri Lankans lead the way with five final appearances: Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Lasith Malinga and Kumar Sangakkara all appeared in the 50-over finals of 2007 and 2011, and in the T20 in 2009, 2012 and 2014.In women’s World Cups, three Australians have played in seven finals. Alyssa Healy has appeared in six in T20s (between 2010 and 2021), to go with the 2022 50-over World Cup, in which she hammered a record 170 in the final; she has an unrivalled collection of six winners’ medals. Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry have both played in two 50-over and five T20 World Cup finals.England scored 170 without loss to beat India last week. Was this the highest score to win a T20I by ten wickets? asked Kris McKenzie from England

England’s 170 for 0 to overhaul India in last week’s semi-final in Adelaide was a record for the T20 World Cup – it beat Pakistan’s 152 for 0, also against India, in Dubai in October 2021.But there have been two higher totals to win by ten wickets in all T20Is. The record was set only about six weeks ago: Pakistan scored 203 for 0 to defeat England (199 for 5) in Karachi in late September. The previous record was New Zealand’s 171 for 0 to defeat Pakistan (168 for 7) in Hamilton in January 2016.Gibraltar, batting first, scored 213 for 0 against Bulgaria in Marsa (Malta) in May 2022, and won by 21 runs.I was admiring Jim Laker’s performances in the 1956 Ashes. In five successive innings, he took 34 wickets – is this the overall record? asked James Harrison from England

The England offspinner Jim Laker holds the record for the most wickets in two successive Test innings (19, all Old Trafford in 1956), three innings (25 wickets) and four (30; he had taken 5 for 58 and 6 for 55 in the previous Test against Australia, at Headingley).Laker then took 4 for 80 in the first innings of the fifth Test at The Oval, to give him 34 wickets in five successive Test innings, which equalled another Surrey bowler, George Lohmann, in South Africa in 1895-96. He took 7 for 38 and 8 for 7 in Port Elizabeth, 9 for 28 and 3 for 43 in Johannesburg, and 7 for 42 in Cape Town.Laker took three wickets and Lohmann one in the sixth innings of their sequence, but have to give way to Sydney Barnes, who proved almost unplayable for England against South Africa in 1913-14. Barnes, who had already taken ten wickets in the first Test of the series, collected 8 for 56 and 9 for 103 in Johannesburg, 3 for 26 and 5 for 102 in the next match, also in Johannesburg, and 7 for 56 and 7 for 88 in what turned out to be his final match, in Durban, giving him 39 wickets in his last six innings, and a record 49 in the series.Shakib Al Hasan is only the third player to make a century and take ten wickets in the same Test in men’s cricket•AFP/Getty ImagesShakib Al Hasan scored a century and took ten wickets in a Test in Bangladesh in 2014 – how many others have done this? asked Masud Hasan from Bangladesh

Shakib Al Hasan followed an innings of 137 with 5 for 80 and 5 for 44 as Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe by 162 runs in Khulna in 2014-15. Shakib was only the third man to score a century and take ten or more wickets in the same Test, as this list shows.England’s Ian Botham hit 114 in between taking 6 for 58 and 7 for 48 against India in Bombay in 1979-80, and Imran Khan made 117 and took 6 for 98 and 5 for 82 while captaining Pakistan against India in Faisalabad in 1982-83. The only other man to achieve the “match double” of 100 runs and ten wickets was Alan Davidson, with 80, 5 for 135, 44 and 6 for 87 against West Indies in the tied Test in Brisbane in 1960-61.All the above gentlemen were preceded in women’s Tests by Australia’s Betty Wilson, who had scarcely credible figures of 7 for 7 and 4 for 9 to go with her 112 against England at St Kilda in Melbourne in 1957-58. She was followed in 1979 by 38-year-old Enid Bakewell, who carried her bat for 112 not out in England’s second innings (having scored 68 in the first) and took 3 for 14 and 7 for 61 against West Indies at Edgbaston.Victoria were shot out for 63 the other day. Was this their lowest in the Sheffield Shield? asked Marcus Corbett from Australia

Victoria’s 63 against Queensland at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane last week was actually their fourth-lowest in the Sheffield Shield. They were skittled for 31 in 1906-07 and 35 in 1926-27, both times by New South Wales in Sydney, and for 43 by South Australia in Melbourne in 1895-96. None of those three lower totals was the first innings of the match, though.Victoria were 47 for 8 at lunch on the first day in Brisbane, their worst-ever start to a match. But it wasn’t quite a record for the domestic competition: in Sydney in 2004-05, South Australia were bowled out for 29 in 14.4 overs by New South Wales, who had scored 12 for 0 themselves by lunch. They went on to a total of 430, and won by an innings.Use our feedback form, or the Ask Steven Facebook page to ask your stats and trivia questions

Three first-day wickets at Galle set agenda for England and scotch some preconceptions

Andrew Miller14-Jan-2021Perhaps it’s the headband, perhaps it’s the wrist position. Perhaps it’s the “bravery” that the man himself says comes with experience. But Stuart Broad has started this Sri Lanka series – this Asian winter – with the exact same ebullience and optimism with which he finished England’s lockdown summer. In doing so, he’s let it be known once again that, at the age of 34 and with a remit to perfect the game-craft that he’s spent the past 13 years honing, he is living his best life right here, right now.The first day of England’s first excursion of 2021 was, as Broad put it at the close, “a nine out of ten day” – as a harassed Sri Lankan line-up, still not recovered from their bruising defeat in South Africa, found a range of ways to gift their opponents the upper hand – from fluky deflections off ankles and fingertips to abject reverse sweeps and miscued half-trackers.But nothing that transpired – certainly not Dom Bess’s curate’s egg of a five-for (the ball to dismiss Dilruwan Perera was the good part…) – could match Broad’s path-finding injection of know-how in his two brief but pointed spells.”It’s an absolute dream world day for us,” Broad said, “and three wickets in Sri Lanka as a seamer feels like a decent day personally.”That’s putting it modestly. Within eight overs, Broad had matched his tally from three previous Tests in Sri Lanka. That haul (for want of a better word) had been spread over three visits in 2007, 2012 and 2018, beginning with a Test debut in Colombo of such alarming inhospitality that the then-beanpole 21-year-old was quietly eased back out of the firing line and held back for more hospitable conditions in New Zealand three months later.It’s worth pointing out that Broad didn’t actually do a whole lot wrong in those three campaigns, other than bowl with the tenacity (aka predictability) of an English seamer, trained to plug away outside off stump, then bang in the short ball for effect when all else fails.But twice he had been on the receiving end of Mahela Jayawardene masterclasses (a fate that few visitors of the 2000s escaped, to be fair, given his eye-watering haul of 23 Test hundreds on home soil) while on his most recent trip in 2018, Broad’s 14 overs in two innings might as well have been designated shine-removers, as England’s trio of spinners – Jack Leach, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid – continued their dominant theme for the series by sharing 14 wickets to wrap up a 3-0 clean sweep.This time, however, Broad was a man with a new plan – including one made more or less on the hoof, given how cursory England’s preparations for this series have been. While bowling to Joe Root in England’s solitary warm-up at Hambantota, the pair noted the awkwardness of Broad’s lift from just back of a length, and figured a leg gully might be an opportune gamble to the left-handers. Sure enough, Lahiru Thirimanne jabbed low to Jonny Bairstow, to set in motion a day of barely relenting progress for England.Broad confirmed at the close that the ball itself had not been a deliberate ploy, rather a contingency plan in case of natural variation. “At Hambantota, we had a lot of balls from middle stump sliding through the air to leg gully, leg slip,” he said. “Rooty was batting at the time and said it might feel uncomfortable on certain pitches to have a fielder there with my style of bowling. I don’t try and swing it away, but I do try and nip it back, so it was a deliberate ploy to have a fielder there and make the batsman play as often as possible. But you need a bit of luck for it to go there.”Stuart Broad claimed the big wicket of Angelo Mathews•SLCBut you need a bit of skill too to create the conditions for such happy accidents to take effect, and that is the aspect of Broad’s recent performances that is becoming ever more apparent in the late summer (Indian summer, he might be hoping…) of his career. Where once he was a mood bowler, famed for wrecking intermittent Test matches in the space of a single session but slipping back into James Anderson’s gargantuan shadow in between whiles, now he is becoming a mood in himself.Related

It was in the process of taking his 500th Test wicket, at Old Trafford in August, that Broad’s career average dipped below 28 for the first time in his career. But his returns in the past two years, essentially from the moment he took advantage of a rare period of down-time after the 2017-18 Ashes tour and embarked on an extensive technical MOT, he’s racked up 118 at 21.44, including 38 at 14.76 in 2020 – a year that culminated in a prestigious nomination for BBC Sports Personality of the Year.The majority of those wickets, all captured in South Africa and England, might as well have been screen-grabbed from some of his most famous Test rampages – the 8 for 15 at Trent Bridge, or the 6 for 17 at Johannesburg: full and threatening, you-miss-I-hit lengths every ball, attacking the pads and the edge with equal insistence, kicking off a high seam and occasionally skidding through, and all delivered with those ubiquitous “pumping knees” that signal an attack dog at the top of his game.But it was a subtle manipulation of those methods that earned Broad his rewards today, and in conditions where even he had previously been a bit hang-dog. There was energy and optimism in abundance, of course, but his average speed, hovering around the 80mph mark, ended up being lower even than that of the left-arm swinger Sam Curran – by no-one’s estimation a bona fide quick bowler. That was, as Broad himself explained, a result of some canny changes of pace and seam position rather than any sense that he’s about to lose his nip.”We talked before the Test match about building pressure for long periods of time, and using your individual skill in those little periods,” Broad said. “So I concentrated on making the batsman play as much as possible, and also varying my pace in little ways. Maybe not 6-7mph at times but actually going up two miles an hour, coming down three or four miles an hour, and that was the plan I stuck to.”As befits a man who once captained England’s T20 side – a format in which he has not now featured for almost exactly half his international career – Broad contrived to treat every delivery of his precious new-ball spell as an event. It’s a trait that served him equally well in England’s lockdown summer, when his new-found relish for a fuller, stump-threatening length asked questions of every batsman in his sights.”The pitch offered us something with the ball, which you expect when you bowl a side out for 130, but it wasn’t necessarily sideways movement,” he added. “There was a little bit of extra bounce, a little bit of two-pace that brought the fielders in.”Broad was also responsible for two of the outstanding moments in what was otherwise an abject Sri Lankan batting display – the perfectly pitched cutter outside off that lured the hard-handed Kusal Mendis into a tentative stab to the keeper (and a fourth Test duck in a row), and the injection of venom just back of a length that rushed Angelo Mathews into a misjudged slash to slip, where Root grabbed an impressively sharp catch. On the face of it the moment was yet another batsman error, but Broad’s variety and accuracy made it happen.”I was pleased with [the legcutter],” he said. “It’s one of my best balls. A few years ago I wouldn’t have tried that second-ball to a new batsman but, with experience and confidence in my game, I wanted to bowl a quicker one first ball and then a legcutter to get the batsman playing on the second one.”It just did that perfect half-a-bat-width movement and I think, just with experience and playing more cricket in these conditions, you get braver. With a new ball. I’d never dream of doing that in England, but in these conditions, you’ve got to try something different.”Broad is now two wickets away from matching Courtney Walsh – the first man to breach the 500-wicket barrier way back in 2001, and whose eventual tally of 519 scalps once seemed an insurmountable peak. And who knows, on this showing, maybe even Anderson’s humungous tally of 600 and counting will not be out of his reach.For he may lack the natural skill that has marked his team-mate out as the greatest English bowler of his generation, but Michael Vaughan wasn’t wrong when he stated, way back in 2008, that Broad was one of the most intelligent operators he’d ever encountered. He was finding new ways to skin Test batsmen even back then – short and nasty on that occasion to complement Anderson’s full and tricksy – and as his evisceration of David Warner showed in the 2019 Ashes, the evolution of his methods has been gathering pace for some months already.For if Broad’s fabled reaction to his omission from England’s last first Test of a season, against West Indies at the Ageas Bowl in August, is anything to go by, he’s got the form, the skill and the bloodymindedness to keep confounding expectations for as long as his remarkably injury-free body holds up. And who knows, maybe he, like Anderson before him, can go some way to confounding those preconceptions about his record in less seam-friendly climes.

O polêmico gol do Nova Iguaçu ainda reverbera nas redes sociais e nas mesas redondas. Marcado por Xandinho, a jogada do gol se iniciou após Carlinhos dividir a bola com João Victor, zagueiro do Vasco. A questão aqui é que, na imagem do VAR, as linhas pareciam ter sido traçadas de maneira errônea, algo prontamente negado pelo Departamento de Arbitragem da Ferj.

– A linha está traçada, conforme a regra, no calcanhar do jogador do Vasco. E quando as linhas ficam sobrepostas ficam azul, favorecendo o ataque.

Outra reclamação dos jogadores do Vasco é que Gustavo Mota Correia, auxiliar da partida, marcou o impedimento antes da jogada ser finalizada. Mesmo assim, como o árbitro não sinalizou, o VAR agiu de maneira correta.

Como have been dealt a massive injury blow with Alvaro Morata ruled out for a significant period. The Spanish striker, who arrived in the summer following a drawn-out transfer saga involving Galatasaray and AC Milan, faces a frustrating spell on the sidelines after sustaining a serious thigh injury against Inter.

• Morata blow confirmed

  Cesc Fabregas faces a major headache heading into the winter break after Como confirmed that their marquee summer signing has sustained a serious muscle injury. Morata limped off during the first half of the recent clash against Inter at San Siro, clutching his thigh after a challenge near the corner flag.

  According to an official statement from the club, tests have confirmed a "high-grade lesion of the long adductor muscle in his left thigh". While the club stopped short of putting a definitive timeline on his return, reports in Italy suggest the Spaniard will be out for at least two months. He is expected to miss crucial fixtures as Como look to climb the table, with a potential return date pencilled in for mid-February 2026. They face two matches against AC Milan by then, one of which is supposed to be played in Australia, as well as Lazio and Atalanta.

• 'Frustration weighs heavily' on Morata

  Morata took to Instagram to express his devastation at the latest setback. "When things don't go as you expect, when you give your best but can't reach where you want to go, frustration weighs heavily," he wrote. "And now, on top of that, this injury. But even in moments like this, I feel fortunate: because of my teammates, because of my club, because of the incredible fans. I will recover, I will get up and I will return to help achieve all our objectives."

• A nightmare start after summer saga

  The injury compounds what has been a nightmare start to life at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia for the 33-year-old. Brought in to provide elite experience and goals, Morata has struggled to find his rhythm, failing to find the net in his first 15 competitive appearances for the club, eight of which have been as a member of the starting XI. 

  His arrival was meant to be a coup for the ambitious outfit. The transfer saga was one of the stories of the summer, with Morata initially on loan at Galatasaray from AC Milan. A complicated three-way negotiation ensued, with the Turkish giants demanding compensation to terminate his loan early. Milan eventually agreed to pay a fee to release him, allowing him to join Fabregas – his former Chelsea and Spain teammate – at Como.

  What comes next for Como?

  With their star forward out, Fabregas will be forced to reshuffle his pack for the foreseeable future. The burden of goalscoring will likely fall on Anastasios Douvikas, who has netted three times this season, as the club navigates a busy festive period without their most high-profile player. The injury may also force Como into the January transfer market if the diagnosis worsens, leaving Morata to watch from the stands as his wait for a first goal in Como colours drags on into the new year.

  Como are sixth in the league and seven points behind leaders AC Milan and Napoli. They face fourth-placed Roma in their next game on Monday. Last week's 4-0 defeat to title candidates Inter was just their second defeat of the season, having last gone down 1-0 at Bologna in their second Serie A game of the season.

Mikel Arteta has shared his belief that Chelsea deserve to be in the Premier League title race, ahead of Arsenal's showdown with the Blues on Sunday. The Spanish manager reiterated his admiration for Enzo Maresca's side, sharing that he enjoys watching them play in his pre-match press conference. The Gunners head to Stamford Bridge with a six point lead over the London rivals.

Arteta praises Chelsea ahead of London derby

Arteta has not been shy in heaping praise over one of his club's fiercest rivals. When the sides last met in March, the 43-year-old described Chelsea as the "best attacking team in the league by a mile", despite the Gunners coming out on top with a 1-0 home win. 

Those comments were put to Arteta in his pre-match press conference earlier today. The FA Cup winning manager reiterated his assessment of his next opponents', while also confirming the Blues as credible contender to the Premier League crown this term.

When asked if Chelsea are worthy title challengers, Arteta said: "I think we are all there, and they are there because they fully deserve what they have done in the last few years. I think the squad that they assembled, the numbers that they have, the quality that they have, the number of coaches they have it makes sense that what is happening there is very, very positive and they deserve to be there."

In reply to a question about whether he still views Chelsea as the league's best attacking force, he replied: "They were [the best last season], the sample now this season is early so it's difficult to say.

"But it is one of the teams that I enjoy the most watching and they have a lot of fluidity, they have a lot of threat, they have a lot of individual talent, they are very clear what they want to do and that's why they are very tough."

Arteta provides injury update ahead of Chelsea game

The Spaniard was also pushed on the current injury status of a number of his squad. 

Leandro Trossard is awaiting another test of a calf problem he sustained in the Gunners midweek win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz's return could depend on the results of repeat scans on hamstring and knee issues respectively. 

Asked whether either of those attacking options returned clear scans, Arteta replied: "Clear, not yet, but they are getting closer and closer. We are very positive with both of them and that's it."

The Arsenal boss also gave an update on the return of Gabriel Jesus. tofirst team action. The Brazilian striker took part in a behind-closed-doors game at Arsenal's training ground against Watford on Thursday. Jesus had not played since undergoing knee surgery in January.

While Arteta said the 29-year-old was "very close" to return to first team action, he addedd: "We see every single day how he's reacting to the change that he had in load and then he needs to get into the chemistry of the team, understanding the things on match time which are very different to anything that he tried to replicate in training obviously and those gaps try to make them as short as possible."

The depth of Arsenal's squad has allowed them to weather a mini-injury crisis over the past few weeks. Arteta heralded his players preparation after their 3-1 win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday. That triumph was the most impressive win in a 16-game unbeaten run that dates back to their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool back in August. 

Chelsea also enjoyed a statement win in Europe this week, beating Barcelona 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The Blue have quietly asserted themselves over the past few weeks, scoring eight goals and conceding goals in their past three games in all competitions. 

Sunday's game feels like a crucial juncture in the title race. If Chelsea can play up to Arteta's assessment, it could trigger a three-way title race with Pep Guardiola's side also entering the fray. However, if the Gunners can take all three points, they will establish a nine point gulf. With the league's best attacking and defensive record, that's an imposing lead even with so much football still left to play. 

انتقد أحد الصحفيين الأداء الذي ظهر به ريال مدريد أمام إلتشي، في المباراة التي جمعتهما ضمن منافسات الدوري الإسباني.

وكان ريال مدريد قد تعثر أمام إلتشي وتعادل بنتيجة 2/2 في المباراة التي جمعتهما ضمن منافسات الجولة الثالثة عشر من بطولة الدوري الإسباني “لا ليجا”.

وشن سيرو لوبيز، هجومًا قويًا على لاعبي ريال مدريد بعد الأداء الباهت الذي ظهروا به خلال المباريات الأخيرة وخاصةً بعد فوز الكلاسيكو.

وقال لوبيز، ونقلت تصريحاته صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو”: “هذا هو معنى الاحتراف، في العام الماضي لم تترشحوا لأني سمحت لكم بذلك وهذا العام مع تشابي ألونسو، أنتم أيضًا لن تترشحوا لأنه يُطالبكم بالكثير، حسنًا هذا يكفي، أنتم جميعًا تعتقدون أنكم بيليه”.

وأكمل: “فالفيردي يعتقد أنه بيليه لأن كروس اختاره وريثًا له وعليه أن يلعب أينما يشاء، فينيسيوس كذلك فهو بيليه أيضًا، بيلينجهام بالنسبة لوالده هو بيليه أيضًا”.

وتابع: “إذا أراد ريال مدريد أن يطمح إلى أن يكون من عظماء أوروبا، فعليه أن يفعل ذلك مع مدربين يحملون أفكارًا مثل ألونسو وهي أفكار تتطابق مع أفكار فليك أو جوارديولا أو أرتيتا، هذه مشكلة اللاعبين الذين لا يريدون الركض والضغط، لا يهم من هو المدرب”.

CINCO LANCES QUE MARCARAM A PARTIDA

>!QUE TIRIÇA! O Botafogo conseguiu a proeza de tomar um gol aos 2 minutos de jogo: Vitinho carregou a bola da ponta esquerda para o centro, cercadi por Di Placido, que só observou o atacante finalizar de fora da área; a bola bateu na trave e voltou nos pés de Thiago Borbas, que só empurrou para dentro e abriu o placar para o Bragantino.

>!FORÇA, GUERREIRO! Ainda no primeiro tempo, o artilheiro Tiquinho Soares deixou o campo sentindo dores no tornozelo esquerdo. Em seu lugar, entrou o centroavante Diego Costa.

>!ÁGUA MILAGROSA! Aos 30 minutos, o árbitro da partida parou a partida para a hidratação dos atletas, e o técnico Lúcio Flávio soube se aproveitar muito bem deste momento para reorganizar o Botafogo. No reinício do jogo, Victor Sá recebeu uma bola invertida do lado esquerdo do campo e puxou para dentro, em lance semelhante ao de Vitinho. O atacante do Alvinrgro acertou um chutaço e empatou o duelo!

>!PISCOU, JÁ ERA! No lance seguinte, Victor Sá recebeu um passe na mesma posição do lance do gol, mas dessa vez optou por uma solução doferente: ao invés de puxar para o centro e finalizar, cruzou a bola em direção ao gol. A zaga do Bragantino afastou e a bola sobrou nos pés de Eduardo, que finalizou da pequena área para virar o jogo em favor do Botafogo!

>!CAIXINHA DE SURPRESAS! O técnico do Bragantino ousou ao tirar quase todos os defensores de campo – apenas Léo Ortiz permaneceu no jogo – na busca pelo empate. E sua escolha deu resultado nos acréscimos do segundo tempo: depois de tanto pressionar, o Massa bruta conseguiu marcar o gol de empate, novamente com Thiago Borbas.

COMO FOI O PRIMEIRO TEMPO?
O gol do Bragantino logo no início tinha tudo para deixar o Botafogo abatido e condicionar o desenrolar do jogo, como de fato o fez na primeira metade do primeiro tempo. Mas a pausa para hidratação, por volta dos 30 minutos, inverteu completamente a situação do jogo: o Botafogo se organizou melhor e encontrou o caminho do sucesso através das inversões, com jogadas de mano-a-mano entre atacante e lateral, enquanto o Bragantino perdeu totalmente o controle da partida, com e sem bola.

E A ETAPA FINAL?
O técnico do Bragantino, Pedro Caixinha, não teve medo e encheu o time de atacantes na busca pelo empate. O Botafogo, no entanto, recuperou a consistência perdida ao longo da competição e soube se fechar bem. As trocas de Lúcio Flávio também contribuíram para isso, com a entrada de mais meio-campistas na equipe. Mas como tem coisas que só acontecem com o Botafogo, o Bragantino empatou a partida nos acréscimos do jogo, novamente com Thiago Borbas, jogando um balde de água fria na torcida do Alvinegro.

Liverpool fell to a damaging 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, and their star players are taking significant criticism in the wake of their third straight loss in the top flight.

Carragher calls for Salah to be dropped

The Reds have now lost four matches in a row in all competitions, with Sunday’s loss at home to United the nadir in an increasingly concerning season for the champions.

It was another off day for Mohamed Salah, who missed a huge chance after the break and generally struggled to have any kind of positive impact on proceedings, with Jamie Carragher calling for him to be dropped on Sky Sports after the game, having also questioned his form before proceedings began.

“I don’t think Salah should be like a Virgil van Dijk where it’s like ‘first name on the teamsheet’. Liverpool have got two away games – in the Champions League at Frankfurt and then they go to Brentford. I don’t think Salah should start both of those games.

“He should always start at Anfield because Liverpool will be on top, around the edge of the box and more often than not he scores in those situations today. But I do think in the away games and helping your full-back, I don’t think Salah should be starting every game right now, certainly away from home, with the form he’s in.”

Arne Slot finds himself under genuine pressure as Liverpool’s head coach, but he isn’t being helped out by star players, from Salah to recent signings.

Harry Maguire outscoring Liverpool strikers

Incredibly, Harry Maguire’s winner for United means that he now has scored the same number of goals at Anfield in the league this season as Salah (1), Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak combined, leading to plenty of fans panicking on social media after BBC journalist Statman Dave shed light on Isak in particular.

The latter pair are still waiting to strike for the Reds in the top flight home or away, having arrived as the two most expensive signings in Reds history earlier this year, and the Swede has racked up 1.4 expected goals even in his limited playing time, so really should have found the net by now.

To say that this statistic is damning would be an understatement, with almost nobody expecting Liverpool to make such an unconvincing start to their title defence.

Salah’s form is concerning, with signs that the 33-year-old may have peaked as a footballer, while Wirtz and Isak are taking longer to adjust to life at Anfield that a lot would have hoped.

There are mitigating factors surrounding their struggles, though, with fellow new signings Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez flattering to deceive, and the likes of Ibrahima Konate and Alexis Mac Allister in poor form in too many games.

Wirtz and Isak will likely come good, and Salah is too special a footballer not to overcome this enormous slump, but if things don’t improve fast, Liverpool will be out of the Premier League title race by Christmas.
