22:58 CET – Real Madrid missed out on a chance at the top spot in LaLiga after being held to a 3-3 draw by Rayo Vallecano in a thrilling Madrid derby.

One might have expected this to have been a routine win for the Spanish champions, but it was anything but as Rayo took a 2-0 lead before Real responded with two goals before half-time. It looked like Rodrygo had scored the winner, but Isi Palazon quickly equalized.

In the end it was a draw that will feel like a defeat for Real, a win for Rayo and a pleasure for the neutrals.

22:42 CET – At the start of the weekend, Juventus were the only unbeaten team in Serie A and Venezia were at the bottom.

Both facts were in jeopardy late in the game before Dusan Vlahovic scored from the penalty spot in the 95th minute to give the Old Lady a somewhat fortuitous 2-2 draw at the Allianz Stadium.

Incredibly, the draw is Thiago Motta’s side’s tenth draw of the league season. Equally notable is that they remain unbeaten in Serie A despite not being in the top five!

However, Los Blancos found their way back into this exciting game, first through a stunning long-range shot from Fede Valverde and then through a precise header from Jude Bellingham that found the bottom corner.

21:32 CET – It’s halftime in Serie A and Juventus go into the break with a 1-0 home lead against Venezia thanks to unlikely goalscorer central defender Federico Gatti.
