Barcelona coach Hansi Flick says winning the UEFA Champions League is the club’s main target this season but has told his players they must first focus on beating Espanyol in LaLiga. Barca lost 2 0 at home to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter final first leg in midweek, leaving them with a difficult task in next Tuesday’s return game in Madrid. Despite that setback, Barcelona lead LaLiga and host city rivals Espanyol on Saturday with a seven point advantage over second placed Real Madrid. Flick said every player, fan and coach dreams of lifting the Champions League trophy and that the team always finds extra motivation on European nights.

Atletico beat 10 man Barcelona in UCL quarter final first leg

Atletico Madrid took control of their UEFA Champions League quarter final tie with a 2 0 away win over 10 man Barcelona in the first leg at the Olympic Stadium. Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth scored the goals for Diego Simeone’s side, giving them a strong advantage to defend in next Tuesday’s return leg at the Metropolitano. The turning point came just before half time when Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi was sent off for a last man foul. From the resulting free kick, Alvarez bent a superb shot into the net to put Atletico ahead. Despite playing with a man down, Barcelona continued to see more of the ball after the break, but they struggled to create clear chances against Atletico’s organised defence. Sorloth then doubled the visitors’ lead, making Barcelona’s task even harder as they now need at least […]

Lookman rues narrow offside in bittersweet La Liga debut

Ademola Lookman says his home La Liga debut for Atletico Madrid was bittersweet after a narrow offside call denied him a dream goal in a 1-0 defeat to Real Betis. The Super Eagles forward had arrived at the Metropolitano on a high following a standout performance in the Copa del Rey.​ Lookman thought he had equalised just before halftime when he rose to head the ball into the net, but the effort was ruled out for a marginal offside after a review. The decision proved costly as Atletico could not find a way back into the match.​ Despite receiving a yellow card in the 56th minute for a tactical foul, he remained one of Atletico’s brightest attacking outlets until he was substituted in the 74th minute. His movement and direct play repeatedly troubled the Betis defence, even as the hosts […]
