Barca romp to victory
Goals from Lionel Messi (8’), Luis Suarez (52’/61’), Rafinha (74’) and Neymar (83’) gave Barcelona a 5-0 victory over Espanyol on Sunday. Marc- André ter Stegen completed the game but was relatively untroubled.
Ronaldo grabs two
Cristiano Ronaldo (26’/58’) scored a brace for Real Madrid, with Karim Benzema (42’) scoring the other as they beat Valencia 3-2 on Sunday. Rodrigo and André Gomes netted consolation goals for the visitors. Toni Kroos and Shkodran Mustafi completed the game.
Barcelona now have 88 points, one more than Real Madrid, with just one round of matches to play. Atletico are third with 85 – their title hopes are all but over.
Arsenal claim a draw without Özil
World Cup winning duo Mesut Özil and Per Mertesacker didn’t feature for Arsenal on Sunday, however, the Gunners continued their match to the Champions League in their absence. The London side drew 2-2 with Manchester City. Olivier Giroud (10’) brought them level moments after Sergio Agüero put the hosts in front (8’). Kevin de Bruyne (51’) restored their lead but Alexis Sanchez equalised for Arsenal with 22 minutes left on the clock. Neither side could force a winner.
Liverpool remain in the hunt for the Europa League slots
Goals from Joe Allen and former Hoffenheim player Roberto Firmino gave Liverpool a 2-0 victory over Watford. They’re currently eighth in the table but could climb into the Europa League places on Wednesday if they beat Chelsea. The Reds, who qualified for the final of Europe’s secondary club competition on Thursday, were without Germany international Emre Can for the match.
All-German clash in Turkey
Mario Gómez grabbed the winner as Besiktas beat Lukas Podolski’s Galatasaray 1-0 on Sunday evening in Istanbul. That victory means that Besiktas are on the cusp of lifting the title. The game, which took place in the Türk Telekom Arena, was an eventful affair, with the only goal of the game coming with just 14 minutes left on the clock. He has now scored 24 goals in just 31 league appearances this season. Podolski completed the game for Galatasaray but didn’t offer a threat.
Senol Günes’ men currently have 76 points to their name, six more than Fenerbahce, who face Basaksehir on Monday. Galatsaray (45) are seventh and need to kick on in the coming weeks in order to stand a chance of reaching the Europa League.
