Barca win but disappoint, Rayo miss a chance to do Madrid a favour

A cat-and-mouse game between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou brought the Catalans a seven-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table ahead of tonight’s Derbi Madrileno (23.00).Hansi Flick’s men didn’t shine. On the contrary, they were pretty uninspired and probably tired after a mid-week Champions League match against Newcastle. On Wednesday, they demolished the Magpies, putting seven goals past them, and, as if they ran out of firepower, the clash against Rayo was a whole other story – 1-0.Still, a win is a win, and every point is vital in this delicate moment when La Liga enters its final stage.FT: ๐Ÿ”ต FC Barcelona 1-0 Rayo Vallecanoโšช๏ธRonald Araรบjo โšฝ๏ธBarcelona are top of La Liga with a 7-point lead! โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ” pic.twitter.com/G6bIUoFcinโ€” Wizpere1 (@nathwizi) March 22, 2026 Barca’s biggest problem was a lack of concentration, which, in turn, led to inefficiency.

Amorim’s cast-off is Carrick’s treasure: New contract prepared for Mainoo

At one point, Kobbie Mainoo was considered one of the greatest prospects Manchester United’s academy has produced in years. He played regularly for the Red Devils and even earned a national team call-up, but was suddenly dropped from favour by then-manager Ruben Amorim.Even though several United legends and the general public advocated for the youngster and praised him, the Portuguese simply did not see him as a valuable asset, stubbornly omitting him from the team.Mainoo made 14 appearances this season in all competitions under Amorim, clocking less than 25 minutes per game. Once the 41-year-old tactician left, the midfielder breathed a sigh of relief and blossomed.United, what are you doing? From ‘next Zidane’ to ‘you’re free to leave’Since Michael Carrick sat on United’s bench, the soon-to-be 21-year-old featured in each of the 10 games they played and clocked 90 minutes in all of them except the match against Newcastle, when he was subbed off in the 76th minute.In that period, he r..
