The Bundesliga

leaders,

BAYERN MUNICH, drew 0-0 with visiting RB LEIPZIG on Sunday, missing their chance to increase their lead at the top of the table, with their opponents staying a point behind in second place. Bayern, top on 43 points, enjoyed possession in a dominant first half but failed to score despite chances for Robert Lewandowski. INTERNAZIONALE 4-2 MILAN: SERIE A – AS IT HAPPENED

Read more

Leipzig, without a win now in their last four games in all competitions, waited patiently for their chances and they got them after the break but both Marcel Sabitzer and Timo Werner fired wide to squander golden scoring opportunities. Leipzig’s keeper, Peter Gulacsi, then tipped Leon Goretzka’s effort wide in the 80th minute, in Bayern’s best chance of the

second half.

Sunday’s only other game between BORUSSIA MÖNCHENGLADBACH, who are fourth on 39 points, and COLOGNE was postponed due to a storm warning. La Liga leaders, REAL MADRID, continued their rampant form by coming from behind to win 4-1 at OSASUNA for a fifth consecutive league

victory.

Zinedine Zidane’s side were reeling from a 4-3 home defeat by Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey on Thursday and started badly when Unai Núñez gave Osasuna the lead in the 14th minute with a diving header

from a corner.

Real showed little sign of panic, however, and the midfielder Isco equalised in the 33rd minute with a volley before the captain, Sergio Ramos, put them in front five minutes later with a header from close range after a flick-on from Casemiro. Two substitutes, Lucas Vazquez and Luka Jovic, stretched Real’s lead

later on.

Lionel Messi produced a hat-trick of assists as BARCELONA pulled off a gutsy 3-2 win away to REAL BETIS in La Liga after trailing twice in an enthralling match as the coach, Quique Setien, enjoyed a winning return to his former club. The French defender Clement Lenglet headed home the decisive goal in the 72nd minute from a Messi free-kick but was then sent off for two bookings, moments after Betis’s Nabil Fekir had been dismissed for earning two yellow cards.

Clement Lenglet celebrates scoring Barcelona’s winner. Photograph: Aitor Alcalde/Getty Images Barcelona had fallen behind in the sixth minute to a penalty from Sergio Canales, after a VAR review showed Lenglet had handled the ball, but the Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong promptly equalised with the help of a lofted pass from Messi. Betis restored their lead with a strike from the World Cup-winning forward Fekir in the 26th minute but Barcelona struck back again right before half-time when Messi found Sergio Busquets with a free-kick and the midfielder converted from close range. The win allowed second-placed Barcelona to cut the deficit to Real Madrid back to three points. EUROPEAN ROUNDUP: VERONA STUN JUVENTUS; LEVERKUSEN BEAT DORTMUND

Second-half substitute Edinson Cavani rediscovered his scoring touch as PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN beat OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS 4-2 to edge closer to a seventh Ligue 1 title in eight years. The Uruguay striker, Cavani, struck his first goal in almost six months after being barely used on his return from injury. His goal completed the win to put PSG on 61 points from 24 games. Thomas Tuchel’s side, who also scored through Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappé and a Fernando Marcal own goal, lead second-placed Olympique de Marseille by 12 points. Lyon, who hit back with goals by Martin Terrier and Moussa Dembélé, are in ninth place on 33 points, eight behind Stade Rennais who hold the last Champions League qualifying spot.

Interesting match. Bayern clearly the better team, but they didn't necessarily have the better chances. Nkunku was consistently dangerous. The Bayern defense was caught napping repeatedly. Not sure I would pick either of these teams to win the Champions League, but I think they will both beat their English opponents in the first knockout round. Leipzig are better than Spurs, and I think Bayern will comfortably beat Lampard's wildly inconsistent…

Can't complain much when you got 3 vital points....but defense....oh my any decent counter looks like a goal! Umtiti was supposed to be heir apparent for Puyi before his injury....his treatment/recovery seems mysterious at best. He's quarter of the player he was....could this season be written off as a rebuild? I am still harboring hopes of at least one title....keep guessing as to which one;-) Is De Jong better as box-box mf or metronome? Despite his avowed preference at the base of the midfield he seems to be better fit as offensive mf....hope Setien gets the very best outta him. Craig Burley, for once, made a very good point on Barca's shape.....seemingly every other player looks for Leo(no surprise) but also adjust their positions, perhaps subconsciously, to be aligned with him. This will adversely affect Barca's shape and prevent some players leveraging their won strengths....exhibit A-Antoine!

Happy Monday!

It seems like Messi has lost his scoring touch, but his passing, which has always been great is now phenomenal. He should maybe become now a deep lying playmaker Pirlo style, which should extend his career by about 10 years. The last 5 goals Barca scored in league play were all

Messi assisted.

Setien now follows the path of Valverde by playing Roberto repeatedly in the right flank. He is a nothing player. What Firpo and Griezmann doing in the pitch?? Such a disgrace. Grizzy now playing old Barca type football. Always back and square passes. His only contribution was a gem of a pass to Messi. Vidal was awful today. Messi losses his goal scoring touch from January 2020. His final shot always going at a comfortable height usually which is very uncommon. Will he be able to score 25 goals in laliga this season?? One thing for sure that he will not be selected for B'dor this season. Not even top 10. On the other hand Ronaldo gets back his goal scoring touch(though most from penalty but goal is a goal) and will be a strong contender for B'dor this season. Though my vote goes to either Mane or VVD.

A lot of nonsense. Griezman is playing and will be playing, even not regarding his qualities, because Suarez and Dembele are out. Old and static Messi is still comfortably one of if not the best footballer on the planet. But apparently he is useless if he doesn't score in a game and gives a mere three assists.

Can I say something to calm the nerves of Bayern fans? Look, you're going to the finals of CL. And then you're going to be the ones to push them over the line and win it again. Just trust the team. League doesn't matter this season. You may win it but it is not the only thing what you want.

Barcelona seem to be playing better under Setien. The movement and the passing is much quicker and with more purpose. And Messi even while dealing with that nagging injury managed 3 assists. That's a great result. Once again these sub par referees in Spain think the crowd comes to see them. Fekir red card should never have been given.

To be fair, the ref warned Fekir twice to stop talking before the card. Fekir was looking to get sent off with both the tackle and his inability to shut his mouth.

Clear penalty on Messi, clear red card for Roberto in the first half. Lenglet should have seen red for his handball as it prevented the ball from reaching the goal.

I know Atalanta are the darlings of hipsters and tactical affiiciandos but that win at Fiorentina was dreadfully sloppy. Maybe the pitch was bad but scarcely anyone could take a pass cleanly - when one actually arrived where intended. What an awful looking stadium, too. Fans behind goals in the next telephone area code. The Milan derby was delightful. Great game. Great result. Good to see the new league leaders put down their jumped-up, mid-table co-tenants, who seem wholly reliant on their new celebrity shirt salesman. Impressed at the depth Inter have built. It may not be a long-term proposition, but the squad they have is built to win now and this is a good start after the transfer window. Conti must assume the entire sideline is his technical area.

Two more excellent games in Serie A today, with 42 shots in Parma and 33 in the Milan derby. Stats that were backed up, with the wonderful entertainment served up by all four clubs. Whilst, the Bundesliga top of the table clash, somehow remained goalless, despite the best efforts of both sides. Unfortunately, the afternoon's football started with a dismal performance by Athletic Club in the friendly derby. As only one side in striped shirts made any attempt to win the game, and eventually did so, but, god only knows what we were trying to achieve from the

encounter though.

I'm really not sure why so many people buy into the myth of the Premier League being the best league in the world. The two Bundesliga matches I watched I thought were much better value than what the Premier league often has on offer. The games were very open with both sides in both matches having a real go. So much better too watch than any team managed by Mourinho. In the Premier League teams don't seem to be willing to take any rsik any more, as because of the ridiculous amounts of money in the PL, winning, or rather PL survival seems to be the be all and end all, much at the expense of entertaining those who are footing the bill, i.e. the fans.

The Bundesliga is the epitome of competitiveness. Bayern aside, the quality seems to be distributed evenly for the most part, and it all starts with how their managers/coaches are developed.

199th goal for Cavani for PSG, number 1 scorer in PSG history ahead of Ibrahimovic (156). Nice that he stayed for most probably reaching the 200 target and have the proper exit he deserves at the end of the season. Also a useful back-up for Icardi who is kind of struggling to

score of late.

I thought Lyon was going to make a match of it in the second half. Tough to compete against this PSG squad though.

Good game on the whole for Lyon except for the comical own goal. They created many chances but it's as much down to their offensive qualities as to PSG current defensive troubles as they have 5 defenders who are injured, included usual starters Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Bernat. Lyon couldn't beat Amiens the game before so it's a bad week for them.

Madrid steamrolled Osasuna - no repeat of the Navarran heroics which so enraged Cristiano back in the day. Meanwhile, Setien - or rather, his players - may just have kept Barcelona in the race for La Liga.

So, there are still races in Spain, Germany and Italy. Not England or

France.

Dunno, havent really been following events in Italy or France. Though I have to admit that if there's a proper title race in Italy, I find it rather amusing given what the expectations were of Cristiano fetching up in Juve...

1 point separating the top 3 now if I’m not mistaken. Never been the biggest Ronaldo fan (understatement), but I think he’s scored in something like eight games on the trot now. Seems he’s holding up his part of the deal.

Weird that the ref waited till Barcelona went ahead before giving Lenglet the boot ha should have had in the 1st half.

He made up for it in a sense when he denied Messi a stone wall

penalty.

Interesting match. Bayern clearly the better team, but they didn't necessarily have the better chances. Nkunku was consistently dangerous. The Bayern defense was caught napping repeatedly. Not sure I would pick either of these teams to win the Champions League, but I think they will both beat their English opponents in the first knockout round. Leipzig are better than Spurs, and I think Bayern will comfortably beat Lampard's wildly inconsistent Chelsea side, who didn't really deserve to advance from the group, tbf.

Only a fool would pick Chelsea to beat Bayern, and Bayern aren't even that good. "Control," lol.

Boga scored the winner, a header, in a 2-1 victory for Sassuolo over Spal. He also scored a vital goal in Sassuolo’s last game vs Roma. That is 11 goals/assists in 23 games this season. He will be in top demand around Europe next summer if he continues to keep this up. Immensely gifted dribbler who can play in a variety of forward

positions.

I've seen Timo Werner play 5 or 6 times now, I am yet to see anything that justifies the hype surrounding him. Am I just catching all his

bad days?

Werner, 20 goals in 21 matches, so probably not just a hype-child. Worked very hard this evening, and, yes, missed a gilt-edged chance, but he is the real thing. And as for the game, dominance from B***** in the first half and a great effort from our boys in the second, the 0-0 certainly more disappointing for them than for us, and several (theoretically) easy games coming up for Leipzig: do not rule us, or Timo, out. TRADITION SEIT 2009!
