Barcelona's Unstoppable Form

Robert Lewandowski scored twice in their 4-1 win over Girona, taking his season tally to 38 goals in all competitions. Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal also shone, with the latter delivering another dazzling performance. The 17-year-old's creativity and flair were on full display, including a deflected free kick for the opener and a late effort that rattled the crossbar.

Key Stats:

  • 9 consecutive LaLiga wins

FA Cup Drama: Manchester City's Comeback

Pep Guardiola's side fought back from a 1-0 deficit against Bournemouth, with super subs Nico O'Reilly and Omar Marmoush turning the game around. O'Reilly's dynamic runs from left-back and Marmoush's clinical finish sealed a 2-1 victory, keeping City's hopes alive for the oldest competition in the world.

Player Spotlight: Marcus Rashford The 27-year-old has been a revelation for Aston Villa since joining on loan in January. His brace in the FA Cup quarterfinal against Preston North End marked his arrival as a key player for the club.

Bundesliga: RB Leipzig's Managerial Shakeup
