Luis Suarez led Atletico Madrid to another stunning turnaround on the road in LaLiga as they won 2-1 again at Getafe on Tuesday.
Champions Atleti had scored a 99th-minute winner in their previous away match at Espanyol having trailed at half-time and required a repeat against their latest hosts.
Stefan Mitrovic s fortuitous first-half header ended Getafe s long drought in this fixture going back to 2011 and kept them in front until a foolish red card for Carles Alena.
Suarez capitalised in typically clinical fashion, scoring twice in the closing stages to continue this remarkable trend of late heroics.
The Uruguay forward had been involved in Atleti s best chance of the opening period when they looked certain to take the lead after his volley was parri…
Luis Diaz is determined to help Liverpool turn their miserable season around when he returns from a knee injury.
However, the winger is unsure whether he will be ready for the Reds Champions League tie with Real Madrid.
Diaz missed Liverpool s last 10 games prior to the World Cup after sustaining the issue in October s 3-2 defeat at Arsenal, and he suffered a setback upon his return to training in December.

Reports had suggested Diaz could feature in the second leg of Liverpool s last-16 tie against Champions League holders Madrid next month, but the Colombia international is unable to put a timeframe o…

They hold down fourth place for now, but Liverpool and Newcastle United are in close pursuit.
The European campaign ended with a 1-0 loss on aggregate to Milan at the last-16 stage, after a bleak 0-0 draw at home on Wednesday in which Tottenham barely threatened their visitors, managing just two shots on target.
147 Tottenham 0-0 Milan has ended Spurs run of 147 consecutive home games in all competitions without a goalless draw, since a 0-0 against Swansea at Wembley in the Premier League in Sept…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic says it is unthinkable that Euro 2016 would take place without him.
The Sweden striker will have to help his country negotiate the play-offs if they are to secure a place in France after they could only manage a third-place finish in their pool.
Paris-Saint Germain star Ibrahimovic is confident the Swedes can still progress and suggested the tournament would be weaker without his presence.
He told Voetbal International: I don t want to miss the European Championship. It s unthinkable for me to see this tournament going on without me. We didn t go in the standard way, so we will find another one.
The draw for the play-offs takes place on Sunday with Bosnia-Herzegovina, Denmark, Hungary, Norway, Republic of Ireland, Slovenia and…
Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti said the Serie A champions have serious financial problems amid ongoing uncertainty over their ownership.
Atalanta s 1-1 draw with Sassuolo last week meant Inter were crowned champions of Italy for the first time since Jose Mourinho s treble-winning side in 2009-10, ending Juventus run of nine consecutive Scudetti.
Despite leading Inter to glory, head coach Antonio Conte s future remains uncertain due to the Nerazzurri s financial situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic as owners Suning Holdings Group reportedly consider selling the team.
Reports of a possible sale first emerged in the middle of the season and rumours regarding the Chinese owners – who acquired a majority stake in 2016 – persist amid the COVID-19 crisi…
Another Premier League season has come to an end and Sergio Aguero added another top-flight record to his collection.
Manchester City s all-time leading goalscorer was already the top-scoring overseas player in Premier League history and his farewell brace from the bench in a celebratory 5-0 win over Everton made him the top one-club scorer in the division with 184.
Impressive, yes, but those are conventionally impressive numbers.
For the final time in 2020-21, Stats Perform takes a look through the more unusual figures to have emerged over the course of an action-packed round of games.

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to be playing back at Old Trafford again in 2021-22 after Manchester United confirmed they have reached an agreement with Juventus for the transfer of the Portugal great.
While personal terms, a medical and visa are still to be sorted out for Ronaldo, it would take something remarkable to stop him from joining now after a deal reportedly worth up to €23million (£19.7m) was agreed with Juve on Friday.
For a short while it looked as though Ronaldo – who had asked to leave the Bianconeri – was heading to Manchester City after they missed out on the signing of Harry Kane.
But apparent interventions from Ronaldo s former United manager Alex Ferguson and old team-mate Rio Ferdinand may have swung the race in the Red Devils favour.
