RAMOS IS SPOT ON FOR REAL

-

SERGIO RAMOS continued his prolific run of form as

kept up their La Liga title charge.

The veteran defender (above) grabbed the winner in his side’s 1-0 victory at

yesterday.

Ramos’ 73rd-minute penalty took his tally to five goals in seven matches since the restart. No other player has scored more goals during that time.

Real may consider themselves fortunate to have earned the spot-kick.

Dani Garcia was adjudged to have tripped Marcelo in the box, and did make contact, but the Real full-back was nowhere close to getting the ball.

Gareth Bale, who has featured in just two of

Real’s matches since the restart, sat out another fixture as an unused substitute, to raise further question marks over his future at the club.

Ten-man staged a stunning comeback to win 2-1 at

in Serie A. Musa Barrow struck the winner just moments after Musa Juwara had equalised for Bologna. Romelu

Lukaku had opened the scoring for Inter and Lautaro Martinez missed the chance to extend his side’s lead from the spot after Bologna’s Roberto Soriano was sent off.

Both sides finished with 10 men as Alessandro Bastoni was shown a second yellow card before Bologna’s late show.

Leaders within sight of the title again after their 4-1 win over Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score 25 league goals in a season for the club since 1961.

The derby win was also notable for keeper Gianluigi Buffon’s record-breaking 648th Serie A appearance.

Robert Lewandowsk­i scored twice to pass 50 goals this term as

beat are

4-2 to win a record 20th German Cup, and clinch the Double.
