Jan 15 (Reuters) - Barcelona were crowned Spanish Super Cup champions after goals from Gavi, Robert Lewandowski and Pedri earned them a 3-1 win over bitter rivals Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia on Sunday. Barcelona were dominant in every aspect of the game and took advantage of three mistakes by Real Madrid to score. Lewandowski extended the lead 12 minutes later on the counter when defender Dani Carvajal was caught out of position and left Gavi alone on the left wing. Real Madrid, who had no shots on target in the first half, spent most of the second in panic mode, trying to avoid a bigger defeat. Substitute Dani Ceballos lost the ball in midfield and Gavi sprinted forward and crossed for Pedri to fire point-black into the empty net.

Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saved spot-kicks from Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets after Pablo Sarabia had hit the post and Spanish-born Hakimi held his nerve to earn his team a quarter-final against either Portugal or Switzerland. Morocco became only the fourth African nation to reach the last eight of the tournament, 12 years after Ghana did so in South Africa. After a scrappy match finished deadlocked at 0-0 after extra time with few shots on target, Morocco fed off the raucous support of their red-clad supporters in the shootout as Spain crumbled. Spain enjoyed more than 75% of possession and completed almost 800 passes but Morocco caused problems for them on the counter-attack and goalkeeper Unai Simon made some good saves. It was the fourth time Spain have been knocked out of the World Cup on penalties and the second in a row.

Spain, who humbled Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening game, finished second in Group E behind Japan while Morocco defied the odds to win Group F ahead of Croatia and Belgium. The Spanish, world champions in 2010, lost their last group match to Japan and face a difficult test from a Moroccan side growing in confidence under coach Walid Regragui. Spain drew 1-1 with Germany following their rout of Costa Rica and after the loss to Japan coach Luis Enrique was critical of his team. This was impossible because in five minutes, Japan scored two goals ... we were out, we were dismantled," he said. In the first half against Costa Rica, Spain's 537 successful passes set a World Cup record but they will need to show more cutting edge to stay on course for a second world title.

AL KHOR, Qatar, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Spain coach Luis Enrique made one change to his starting lineup against Germany in their World Cup Group E on Sunday following their opening 7-0 demolition of Costa Rica, with Dan Carvajal replacing Cesar Azpilicueta in defence. The Spaniards, who will all but qualify with a win over the Germans, were otherwise unchanged in attack with Dani Olmo, Feran Torres and Marco Asensio. Germany, who suffered a shock opening loss to Japan and are in desperate need of points, brought on fullback Thilo Kehrer in the place of Nico Schlotterbeck. Coach Hansi Flick also dropped forward Kai Havertz, boosting his midfield with Leon Goretzka.

După Busquets, un alt jucător a fost testat pozitiv cu COVID-19Fundaşul Diego Llorente aste al doilea jucător din lotul selecţionatei Spaniei testat pozitiv la Covid-19, la două zile după căpitanul Sergio Busquets, ambii urmând să rateze EURO 2020, a anunţat marţi seara Federaţia spaniolă de fotbal (RFEF), citată de AFP. După testul pozitiv al lui Sergio Busquets, selecţionerul Spaniei, Luis Enrique, a decis să apeleze la mai mulţi jucători de rezervă, pentru a acoperi eventualele forfait-uri din cauza Covid-19 până la startul competiţiei. Astfel, Luis Enrique i-a chemat pe portarul Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea), fundaşul Raul Albiol (Villarreal), atacantul Rodrigo Moreno (Leeds United) şi mijlocaşii Pablo Fornals (West Ham United), Carlos Soler (Valencia) şi Brais Mendez (Celta Vigo). Luis Enrique are timp la dispoziţie până sâmbătă pentru a face schimbări în lotul său de 26 de jucători.

Fotbalistul Brais Mendez de la Celta Vigo a fost chemat de selecționerul Luis Enrique și a părăsit Grecia, acolo unde odihnea cu familia. Acest lucru s-a întâmplat, după ce patru fotbaliști au fost testați pozitiv cu noul coronavirus, iar selecționerul a fost nevoit să convoace patru jucători în regim de urgență. Pe lângă Mendez, Enrique a apelat la serviciile lui Rodrigo Moreno de la Leeds United, Pablo Fornals de la West Ham United şi Carlos Soler de la Valencia. Astfel, selecţionerul este îngrijorat că mijlocașul ar fi putut transmite virusul altor coechipieri, deoarece, potrivit presei spaniole, jucătorii au mâncat împreună la restaurant în ziua în care fotbalistul Barcelonei a fost testat pozitiv. În același timp, Federaţia spaniolă a anunţat că este posibilă convocarea altor jucători în afară de cei patru.

Starul argentinian a dublat avantajul echipei sale, cu un șut superb de la 15 metri, dar la faza construcției golului s-a strecurat o eroare imensă a arbitrului.
