MADRID - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has ruled out playing Eden Hazard in Tuesday's home Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Liverpool, saying he will not risk another injury setback for his club's record signing.

Belgian Hazard, ravaged by injuries since joining Real from Chelsea in 2019, returned to training on Friday ahead of schedule from his latest muscle problem but played no part in Saturday's 2-0 win over Eibar.

After stumbling into the international break on the back of Champions League elimination and a nine-game league run that had yielded only four wins, four draws and one defeat, all eyes were on LaLiga leader Atlético Madrid on Sunday as the club navigated a difficult away trip to fourth-place Sevilla.

Cádiz and Valencia’s LaLiga match at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza was briefly halted on Sunday after Los Che defender Mouctar Diakhaby was racially abused by Cádiz’s Juan Cala. 

The event took place off the ball, but video shows Diakhaby confronting Cala before being restrained by teammate Kevin Gameiro and Cádiz’s Fali. Diakhaby was booked for his actions; Cala — who was already on a yellow — wasn't punished.

SEVILLE, Spain — Real Sociedad beat local rivals Athletic Bilbao 1-0 in the rescheduled 2020 Copa del Rey final on Saturday to get their hands on a major trophy for the first time since 1987.

Captain Mikel Oyarzabal netted the winner by sending keeper Unai Simon the wrong way from the penalty spot in the 63rd minute after strike partner Portu was felled in the area by Athletic defender Inigo Martinez.

El Real Madrid está estudiando la forma de aumentar sus ingresos para compensar las pérdidas sufridas como consecuencia de la pandemia del coronavirus.

La remodelación del estadio Santiago Bernabéu será clave para que los ingresos vuelvan a ser los de antes de la crisis y, en ese contexto, la idea de construir un casino dentro del estadio gira en torno a La Casa Blanca.

Gerard Piqué pudo entrenarse con el resto de sus compañeros del Barcelona en parte de la sesión del miércoles, lo que supone una magnífica noticia para su entrenador y su equipo.

El veterano defensa se lesionó en el partido de vuelta de las semifinales de la Copa del Rey contra el Sevilla, pero se recupera poco a poco. De hecho, Ronald Koeman está optimista de que pueda jugar el Clásico ante el Real Madrid, el próximo 10 de abril.

Barcelona advanced to the last four of the women's Champions League with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Manchester City after a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their quarter-final at the City Academy Stadium on Wednesday.

Congratulations, @FCBfemeni!
