MADRID: Real Madrid are back within touching distance of the top of La Liga after they punished another Atletico Madrid slip against Levante on Saturday (Feb 20) by beating Real Valladolid 1-0. Atletico had the chance to stretch their lead to 11 points this week by winning back-to-back games against Levante but instead they followed a 1-1 draw on Wednesday with a surprise 2-0 loss, meaning a five-point advantage became only six. Real Madrid cranked up the pressure again by edging to a win over struggling Real Valladolid, Casemiro's second-half header cutting the gap to just three points, albeit with Atletico still owning a game in hand. "It's not because Atletico lost. We believe we can win the league," said Casemiro. "There are still 42 points left, that's a lot of points." The swing in momentum comes at a bad time for Atletico, who face Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday, and it feels significant given it has coincided with a resurgence, in La Liga at least, for … [Read more...] about Football: Real Madrid close on top spot after Atletico stumble again

MADRID: Real Madrid's Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos were on target in the first half as the hosts easily beat listless Valencia 2-0 on Sunday to make it three wins in a row in La Liga. Benzema got Zinedine Zidane's side off to a strong start in the 12th minute when he collected a pass from Kroos on the edge of the area and had enough time and space to pick his spot and fire into the far bottom corner. Kroos, who missed Tuesday's 2-0 home win over Getafe through suspension, doubled their lead shortly before halftime, finishing off a flowing move by driving a first-time shot low into the net from the edge of the area. The victory took Real back into second place on 49 points, five behind leaders Atletico Madrid who beat Granada 2-1 on Saturday and have two games in hand. Valencia are 12th on 24. With Atleti, Barcelona and Sevilla all on relentless runs of form, Kroos said Real could not afford to drop any more points if they wanted to keep up with the pacesetters. "The … [Read more...] about Football: Real Madrid cruise to victory over Valencia

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed that he is “totally confident” star striker Raul Jimenez will play again this season after fracturing his skull against Arsenal on Nov. 29. [ MORE: Europa League draw: Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal learn last-16 foes ] Jimenez has undertaken a (deliberately) slow return to action since suffering the horrifying injury in Premier League action nearly three months ago, and that approach has paid off, according to Espirito Santo — quotes from our partners at Sky Sports : “Totally confident, totally confident. “For sure, the speed is the speed we need to follow. We need to be aware of the circumstances. Avoid any kind of contact. He has been able to participate in the initial part of the training sessions.

So it is fantastic for us.” Since the start of … [Read more...] about Nuno ‘totally confident’ Jimenez will play again this season

Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Searchlight Pictures Every week between now and March 15, when the Academy Award nominations are announced, Vulture will consult its crystal ball to determine the changing fortunes of this year’s Oscars race. In our “ Oscar Futures ” column, we’ll let you in on insider gossip, parse brand-new developments, and track industry buzz to figure out who’s up, who’s down, and who’s currently leading the race for a coveted Oscar nomination. Best Picture Up Nomadland Congratulations, Nomadland : You’re the first Best Picture contender to be met with sustained political critique. (I’d say right now the furor level is at “pushback,” and hasn’t yet escalated to “controversy,” much less “backlash.”) At issue is whether the film’s treatment of Amazon fulfillment centers soft-pedals the company’s real-life labor-rights issues — a fair question to ask, certainly, but one I suspect will have a hard time resonating with Academy members, … [Read more...] about Oscar Futures: Why the Amazon Debate Won’t Hurt
