Teenager’s goal edges champions to 1-0 victory
Borussia Dortmund overcome Cologne 2-1
Lamine Yamal’s superbly taken goal earned Barcelona a 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday in La Liga. The champions restored their four-point lead on second-placed Real Madrid, who had temporarily closed the gap by beating Celta Vigo on Friday.
Yamal curled into the top corner after 68 minutes to split the sides at Athletic’s San Mamés stadium in a hard-fought clash.
Barcelona’s coach, Hansi Flick, rotated his side, with Tuesday’s visit to face Newcastle in their Champions League last-16 first leg looming. As a result his team put in a disjointed first-half display, creating little and looking far from their free-flowing best.
