The LA Liga Struggle Continues As Real Madrid Trashes Valencia 2 – 1

By


Real Madrid avoided a slip-up on Saturday in La Liga, beating Valencia 2-1 on a late goal from Marcelo.
Entering the day level on points with Barcelona atop the standings, Real looked headed for a win with Cristiano Ronaldo’s first-half goal. But a sick free kick goal from Dani Parejo with just under 10 minutes to go made it seem like the hosts would only get a point, but the Brazilian defender produced some late magic to lift his team to a vital win.
Riding that goal the entire match without creating much, Real conceded in the 82nd minute with this stunning strike from Parejo.
But just four minutes later, Marcelo cut inside down the left and fired home for the win.
And that is a massive result. A draw combined with a Barca win on Saturday would have seen Real down two points in the standings, with their campaign taking a big hit, but it comes up late as it does so often and keeps its hopes of winning the league alive and well.

Atletico Madrid are powerless to stop United swooping due to the striker’s £89million buy-out clause. And now, according to The Sun, a £280,000-a-week contract offer has been accepted by the 26-year-old. Jose Mourinho appears set to land his No1 target and bolster his frontline at Old Trafford. Griezmann has outlined concerns about moving to the Premier League, including the weather in England. But following Atletico’s 3-0 Champions League semi-final first leg defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday, the wheels are in motion for his move to United. The mammoth deal for Griezmann will apparently be for five years, and including wages and bonuses, the figure is set to reach £170m. The hitman is said to have been handed reassurances by United about other signings this summer and an increase on an original contract offer. Manchester United must pay his buy-out clause in one lump sum, but they are currently preparing for the process.

Roma legend Francesco Totti is to retire from playing at the end of the season, the club’s new sporting director Monchi has revealed. The 40-year-old forward and club captain has scored 307 goals in 783 appearances since making his Roma debut 24 years ago. He will become a director at the club he has served all his career. “There is an agreement with the club that this will be his last year,” Monchi said. “Then he will continue as a director. I want him on my side because he is Roma and can teach me what Roma is,” the Spaniard added. Roma’s final game of the season at home to Genoa on 28 May will be his last.
