  • Real Madrid 3 Pachuca 1 - Alonso’s side show attacking class after early Asencio red card

    5 days ago | nytimes.com | Dermot Corrigan |Mark Carey |Mario Cortegana

    Real Madrid bounced back from an early Raúl Asencio red card to beat Pachuca 3-1 in Charlotte and give Xabi Alonso his first win as head coach. After looking shaky early on, Asencio was sent off for bringing down Salomon Rondon just outside the penalty box, with the former Newcastle United forward through on goal. It was an awful start with just seven minutes gone.

    Real Madrid missed a late penalty as Simone Inzaghi’s Al-Hilal produced an excellent performance to secure a 1-1 draw in their opening game at the Club World Cup. Madrid’s young centre forward Gonzalo Garcia broke the deadlock after a neat passing move in first half, which came moments after their new coach Xabi Alonso had issued instructions to his team at a first-half cooling break. Then Ruben Neves levelled from the penalty spot for Al Hilal shortly before the break.

    Paris Saint-Germain showed why they are European champions with a commanding 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the first match of Group B in the Los Angeles suburb of Pasadena. Fabio Ruiz opened the scoring after 19 minutes in the Rose Bowl's blazing midday heat, striking after the French club pressed their opponents into a mistake deep in their own half.

    Alvaro Morata had his spot-kick saved as Portugal beat Spain on penalties to win the Nations League at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The match was between two teams who should be among the favourites for next year's World Cup in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and gave a glimpse of some of the players who could be stars of the tournament, though it was a rare tough night for 17-year-old Spain forward Lamine Yamal.

  • Is Barcelona's captain being forced out?

    3 weeks ago | nytimes.com | Dermot Corrigan

    With Barcelona apparently closing in on signing Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, a familiar situation is looming at the new Spanish champions. Garcia's arrival looks likely to mean consequences for Barca's previous first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen - and already the drum-beat of rumour, speculation and comment from friendly local media, aimed at persuading Ter Stegen to leave, has begun.
