BARCELONA: Real Madrid ended a troubled La Liga campaign with a 4-2 win over Athletic Bilbao in Alvaro Arbeloa’s last game at the helm, while Mallorca and Girona were relegated from the Spanish top flight on Saturday. In the final round of fixtures, Mallorca defeated already-relegated Real Oviedo 3-0 to reach 42 points, but it was not enough to survive. Girona were held to a 1-1 draw by Elche, which kept the visitors up and sent the Catalan side down, just one season after they played in the Champions League. Veteran Polish striker Robert Lewandowski scored for champions Barcelona in his final match for the club, but goals from Javi Guerra, Luis Rioja and Guido Rodriguez snatched a 3-1 victory for Valencia. Celta Vigo wrapped up Europa League qualification with a 1-0 win over Sevilla to come sixth, while Getafe secured seventh and a Conference League berth with a 1-0 win over Osasuna. Dani Carvajal, playing his last game for Real Madrid, produced a sensational ball for Gonzalo Garcia to fire the second-place hosts ahead against Athletic. England international Jude Bellingham scored a superb second, before Gorka Guruzeta slammed past Thibaut Courtois for Ernesto Valverde’s visitors just before the break in the coach’s last game at the helm.

BENSLIMANE, Morocco, May 23 : Morocco aims to complete its proposed stadium for the 2030 World Cup final by the end of next year, an official overseeing the project said on Saturday.
KINSHASA: The Democratic Republic of Congo have no plans to change their warm-up preparations for the World Cup despite a warning from the United States that the team must isolate for 21 days before arriving in the country, a team official said on Saturday. Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House Task Force for the World Cup, confirmed to ESPN on Friday that the Congolese delegation needed to maintain a bubble where they are training in Belgium and isolate for 21 days or risk being denied entry after a deadly outbreak of the Ebola virus in the central African country. The Congolese team are to be based in Houston at the tournament and will play an opening Group K fixture against Portugal on June 17, followed by matches against Colombia on June 23 in Guadalajara, Mexico, and against Uzbekistan on June 27 in Atlanta. “We’ve been very clear to Congo that they should maintain the integrity of their bubble for 21 days before they can then come to Houston on June 11,” Giuliani said. “We’ve made it very clear to the Congo government as well that they need to maintain that bubble or they risk not being able to travel to the United States. We cannot be any clearer.” But a team spokesperson said that at this stage there was no change to their schedule in the coming weeks, which includes a friendly against Denmark in Liege, Belgium, on June 3 and another against Chile in Cadiz, Spain, six days later. The team had planned a three-day trip to Kinshasa next week as a celebratory send-off before heading to their first World Cup in 52 years but that was canceled before the US warning. “We have kept our training program.
OSLO: Barcelona forward Ewa Pajor and Salma Paralluelo both netted two second-half goals as their side cruised to a 4-0 win over OL Lyonnes to win the women’s Champions League final on Saturday and secure a fourth European crown for the Spanish giants. Barca had to weather a first-half storm that saw Lyon have a goal ruled out for offside after a VAR review and the few chances that fell to Pajor went unpunished, but she turned on the style in the second period as her side won at a canter. Lindsey Heaps had the ball in the net after 14 minutes when Cata Coll spilled Wendie Renard’s header from a free kick, but the goal was chalked out for offside following a VAR review. Undeterred, Lyon continued to control the pace in the first half and for once it was Barcelona, who usually enjoy the lion’s share of possession, that were left to try to win the ball back. The French powerhouse, who are the competition’s most successful team with eight titles, tried to find space in behind the Barca backline, but they struggled to get shots on target, and they would be punished for it after the break. Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 55th minute as Patri Guijarro won the ball deep in her own half and surged forward before picking out Pajor to her right, who finished clinically from a tight angle. Pajor added her second 14 minutes later as the Lyon defense switched off and left her alone in front of goal.
