La Liga week's news| Real Madrid's epic comeback in the Champions League; Pique reaches Barca's milestone

Real Madrid's epic comeback in the Champions League

Real Madrid staged an epic comeback in the Champions League knockout round last Thursday Beijing time, successfully eliminating Paris Saint-Germain and advancing to the quarterfinals. The Whites were once behind their opponents 0-2 overall in the game, but Karim Benzema scored a hat-trick in 17 minutes to help the team reverse the victory in a desperate situation.

Benzema was crowned Real Madrid's third top scorer

Benzema scored a triple in the match against Paris Saint-Germain, which also allowed him to surpass Di Stéfano as the third-placer in Real Madrid's history. The French striker scored the 307th, 308th and 309th goals of his Real Madrid career against his home side in midweek, surpassing Di Stefano, who scored 308 goals, to become the third-ever goalscorer in team history after Cristiano Ronaldo and Raúl.

"Fast Gunner" Felix

The in-form Jo o Félix scored again in the team's 2-1 win over Cádiz. The Portuguese striker managed to intercept and score the ball from the opposing goalkeeper in the third minute of the match, and it is worth mentioning that it is also the fourth time in the past five games that he has scored in the first 10 minutes.

Vallecano stopped the decline

Vallecano's record after entering 2022 was not ideal, but they finally stopped the decline in Sunday's beijing time. They drew 1-1 with title contender Sevilla, ending a six-game losing streak while Andoni Iraola's side also scored their first point in nearly two months.

Real Sociedad took the derby victory

In the early hours of Monday's Beijing time, Real Sociedad defeated Alaves to win the Basque Derby. Martín Zubimendi scored his first La Liga goal and helped the team win 1-0. The young midfielder has maintained a high standard under Imanol Alguacil and the goal was the best reward for his efforts.

Pique reached the milestone

Xavi's Barca scored four more goals in the early hours of Monday morning Beijing time to beat Osasuna 4-0, the fifth time since February that the Red and Blues have scored four goals in a single game. For Gerard Piqué, the night was even more significant, as it was his 600th appearance for Barcelona.

Osasuna renewed his contract with Alassat

Jagoba Arrasate has already reached an agreement with Osasuna to renew his contract with the team until 2024. The Pamplona club announced the decision in a very creative way, hanging huge banners on one of the city's main roads to officially announce their contract extension with the manager.

Alberto Moreno season reimbursement

There was bad news from Villarreal last week that he would not be able to play for the rest of the season due to an injury to Alberto Moreno's right knee anterior cruciate ligament injury. The local player has been consistent in the team's left winger position and the injury is a huge loss for both himself and the club.

The Europa League's top three were mixed

All three La Liga teams participating in the Europa League have scored very close in the first leg of the knockout round. Sevilla, who beat West Ham 1-0, will head out for London this week, while Real Betis, who lost 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt, will also head to Germany in a few days. Barcelona, on the other hand, are tied against Galatasaray, with the two teams set to win in Turkey.

La Liga's first green and sustainable game

It was of great significance that Real Betis held a green and sustainable competition with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday Beijing time. The Green and White Legion wore jerseys made of 100% recyclable polyester, while other eco-friendly events were held on the day of the game and the week before. Athletic Bilbao planted a tree with the home team before the game, and they also used some recyclable materials.
