Navas then made brilliant saves from Emmanuel Riviere and Leon either side of half-time to keep Madrid on level terms. And eventually their extra quality shone through when Isco latched onto a loose ball inside the area and slotted into the far corner just after the hour mark. Madrid should have gone onto win by a more comfortable margin as Sirigu made a fine save from Ronaldo before the Portuguese and Lucas Vazquez had strong claims for a penalty waived away. However, Vazquez made the points safe with a measured ...

Club legend Ronaldinho will visit Hainan, the island off the country’s south coast optimistically branded as ‘China’s Hawaii’, next week to announce a joint venture with Mission Hills Group, the largest private landowner in Haikou, the province’s ...

Some pundits have suggested that the 18-year-old combines the qualities of Gerard Pique and Diego Godin. But he told Mundo Deportivo : "That's what people say.
