Barcelona let three points slip from their grasp at Osasuna as a late stunner from Chimy Ávila secured a 2-2 draw for the hosts in LaLiga on Sunday.

Deprived of seven key players through injury, Barça coach Xavi Hernández was forced to turn to his youngsters and 19-year-olds Nico González and Abde Ezzalzouli both scored as the visitors twice took the lead.

Pocas son las veces en que Manuel Pellegrini decide darle la titularidad a Diego Lainez, pero hoy fue una de esas oportunidades. El mediocampista mexicano estuvo en el once titular del Real Betis en su excursión a Escocia, donde enfrentaron al Celtic por la Europa League, y acabó con una actuación bastante decente. Sin embargo, el sabor de boca que le quedó fue bastante amargo, luego de fallar un gol cantado y mandarse un berrinche al ser reemplazado cuando quizás no lo esperaba.

The latest Sergiño Dest transfer rumors could be good news for USMNT fans. Dest could be headed for the very team that sent his Barcelona to the disgraceful depths of the Europa League, Bayern Munich. 

At the rate Barcelona is capitulating, the Catalan club could miss the 2022-23 Champions League altogether. After 15 LaLiga games played, the club sits one position behind a Europa Conference League spot. Dest’s potential departure is coming before the real madness goes down in Barcelona.

Arsenal is not having a good start to the month of December. As if the men’s team hasn’t provided enough gut-punches to fans this season, the month began with back-to-back, one-goal losses to Manchester United and Everton. But the Arsenal women have managed to disappoint even more, capped by another comprehensive defeat to Barcelona.

MADRID - Atlético Madrid will be desperate to beat runaway leaders Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday to revive their bid for a second consecutive Spanish league title.

Real are currently cruising in top spot, eight points ahead of second-placed Sevilla and 10 above Atlético in fourth, albeit having played a game more than those two rivals.

The dust has settled on Champions League Group B, where we started the day with Liverpool guaranteed top, Atlético at the bottom, Porto advancing as runner-up, switched to Milan in second after Zlatan's side took an early lead on Liverpool, went back to Porto in second after Mohamed Salah equalized and finally finished with Atlético advancing to the Round of 16 after Diego Simeone's men beat Porto 3-1 in a match that featured three red cards, three yellows and two bench-clearing brawls between minutes 67 and 75.

Nicolò Barella lost the plot in Inter Milan’s 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid. The battle for the top spot in Group D was decided by a smashing Toni Kroos hit in the first half, but it was ended by the Barella red card vs Real Madrid. Los Blancos closed out the win after a lovely late strike from Marco Asensio on Tuesday at the Bernabeu.

En su cuarto partido como técnico del Barcelona, Xavi conoció la derrota. Después de triunfos sobre el Espanyol y el Villarreal, además de un empate en Champions League ante el Benfica, los catalanes no pudieron defender su casa y terminaron perdiendo por la cuenta mínima ante el Betis de Andrés Guardado y Diego Lainez.

Lainez se quedó todo el partido en la banca de suplentes, pero Guardado jugó los 90 minutos, llevó la jineta de capitán e incluso inició la jugada que significaría el gol de la victoria para el conjunto verdiblanco.
