  0-2 Osasuna Real Madrid: Marco Asensio and Federico Valverde score late goals to cut the champions' lead over LaLiga leaders Barcelona to five points. Federico Valverde eventually opened the scoring, and with just over 10 minutes remaining, Marco Asencio sealed the three points for the champions. Moi Gomez scored for Osasuna in their best effort of the game. Real Madrid cut the gap at the top of La Liga to five points with a 2-0 win over Osasuna three days before facing Liverpool in the Champions League. It was a hard-fought victory won without Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, and Aurelien Tchouameni, all of whom should be available for Tuesday's game. There were times when Benzema's absence was felt, but Alvaro Rodriguez's superb second-half performance as a substitute will have given Carlo Ancelotti food for thought for the next time he is without the Frenchman. After Fede Valverde scored the first, he set up Marco Asensio for the second. In the first half, he was the mai

  Barcelona 2-2 Manchester United: European giants serve up a THRILLER as Marcus Rashford sparks a Red Devils comeback before Raphinha equalizes to leave the Europa League play-off in the balance. Former Leeds player denied Manchester United a first-ever victory over Barcelona at the Nou Camp. On the night, Marcus Rashford scored his 14th goal in the last 16 games and his fourth in as many games. Relive the action from the Nou Camp during the first leg of the Europa League play-off in Barcelona. Even in the Europa League, Manchester United and Barcelona do not do boring. At a packed Nou Camp, one of Europe's great matches produced a spectacle worthy of its billing. As United came back to lead with 24 minutes left, Marcus Rashford lit up the old place and threatened to give United their first ever victory here over Barcelona. Rashford was described by Barcelona manager Xavi as one of Europe's most dangerous strikers, and he looked like it as he scored his 14th goal in 16 games w

  Around Old Trafford, LOVE is in the air, and Erik ten Hag is to blame. Ten Hag has restored Manchester United's groove after a rocky start to the relationship, with the club currently sitting in the top four and competing in four competitions. 2 Erik ten Hag was seen riding his bike through Hale Village.

Photographers: Eamonn and James Clarke And, ahead of United's next match against Barcelona, the Dutchman was seen out on his bike. Ten Hag was photographed cycling through Hale Village while wearing a wool hat and coat to keep warm in the winter, with some appropriately themed heart-shaped balloons as a backdrop. Indeed, United have felt the love since the World Cup, and they currently lead the league in terms of results since Cristiano Ronaldo's painful departure. After an interview with Piers Morgan in which he blasted the club's owners - who have since put up a for sale

  Real Mallorca won 1-0. Real Madrid: An own goal by Nacho condemns the defending champions to a shock defeat as they lose ground on Barcelona in the title race, with Marco Asensio missing a penalty for Carlo Ancelotti's team. Madrid trails rivals by five points. Barcelona has played one more game. A tenacious Mallorca side maintained their lead over the European champions until Asensio's missed penalty compounded Carlo Ancelotti's misery in the second half. Real Madrid suffered a 1-0 defeat away at Mallorca just two weeks before facing Liverpool in the Champions League. The loss hurts their chances of catching leaders Barcelona, but there was more bad news: Thibaut Courtois will miss the game after injuring his abductor muscle in warm-up. They were already missing Eder Militao and Karim Benzema, and it was Militao's replacement Nacho who scored the game's only goal, an own-goal past stand-in keeper Andriy Lunin. Madrid won a penalty kick in the second half, but wit
