ASPAS LATE GOAL HOLDS BARCELONA

By -


Celta Vigo forward, Iago Aspas curled home a late freekick to put a dent in Barcelona's title ambition.

The former Liverpool man scored a fantastic freekick in a 2-2 draw at Balaidos extending Barcelona's winless run at the venue.

It was always going to be a difficult ground  for the defending champions whose last victory at the stadium was in 2015.

Barcelona came into the fixture knowing that a slip up could cost them dearly in the title race with arch rivals, Real Madrid playing Espanol a day later.

The away side opened the scoring, when Luis Suarez headed home a disguised Messi freekick in the 20th minute and although  Smolov equalised for the home side five minutes into the second half, Suarez restored to lead when he produced a turning finish in the 67th minute.

It looks as that goal would secure all three points for Barcelona but Aspas stepped up to curl a brilliant freekick, leaving Ter Stegen no chance in the 88th minute.

The draw means Barcelona go a point clear of Real Madrid although a win for Zinedine Zidane's men in Sunday's game against Espanol would see them leapfrog Barcelona to top spot.

Manchester City's forward Raheem Sterling insists black managers should be given a chance to manage top clubs too like their white counterparts. The England star made the statement while appearing as a guest on the BBC’s flagship political programme, Newsnight, in the wake of anti-racism protests that have taken hold across the world. “This is a time to speak on these subjects, speak on injustice, especially in my field,” said Sterling. “There’s something like 500 players in the Premier League and a third of them are black and we have no representation of us in the hierarchy, no representation of us in the coaching staffs. There’s not a lot of faces that we can relate to and have conversations with. “With these protests that are going on it’s all well and good just talking, but it’s time that we need to have conversations, to be able to spark debates. But at same time, it’s coming together and finding a solution to be able to spark change because we can talk as much as we want abou...

The Polish international headed home his team's last goal in a 4-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday to take his tally for the season to 30. Both sides served up a breathless opening with chances at either end, and the hosts opened the scoring when Julian Baumgartlinger set up Lucas Alario, who slot past Neuer. A Goretzka header warmed the gloves of keeper Lukas Hradecky, Kimmich seeing an effort blocked before Coman was ruled offside. Bayern were increasingly dominant and levelled the scores when Goretzka's pinpoint pass found the charging Coman, who curled past Hradecky. Kimmich saw a free-kick saved and Lewandowski fired wide, but Bayern went ahead when Goretzka crashed home from 20 yards. Gnabry soon had only Hradecky to beat and saw his effort denied, but he atoned for it when he latched onto a fine Kimmich pass and found the net this time. Proceedings were similar after the restart. Müller fired wide before Davies found Coman in the box, but the Frenchman's fi...
