    Barcelona Moves Nine Points Clear In La Liga

    By IANS News April 12, 2026 • 09:30 AM View: 535
    UEFA Champions League: FC Barcelona moved nine points clear at the top of La Liga after a 4-1 home win over Espanyol in a Catalan derby and Real Madrid's 1-1 draw at home to Girona.

    Ferran Torres scored the opening goal for Barcelona, who looked to recover from its UEFA Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid, with a header from a corner after just nine minutes to end his scoring drought dating back to January 31. He then doubled the lead after Lamine Yamal delivered an audacious pass with the outside of his foot in the 25th minute.

    Torres was denied a hat-trick after a very tight offside against Eric Garcia in the second half, just moments before Pol Lozano's shot from the edge of the penalty area gave Espanyol hopes of a point, reports Xinhua.
