Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BARCELONA and Real Madrid each had a man sent off but won away from home yesterday to stay locked together at the top of the Spanish league. Barcelona, the defending champions, coasted past Albacete 2-0 despite the loss of Juan Goicoechea, with both goals coming early from Aitor Beguiristain. But Real needed a last-minute goal from the Chilean Ivan Zamorano to beat fourth- placed Valencia 2-1.
Deportivo La Coruna, who led the table for 10 weeks, seem to have run out of luck. They also had a player dismissed, Antonio Doncel, and conceded two goals in the last two minutes in drawing 2-2 at home to Tenerife. They trail the leading pair by one point.
Feyenoord drew level with PSV Eindhoven, who beat Maastricht 2-1 on Saturday, at the top of the Dutch league by winning 2-0 at Rotterdam neighbours Sparta with a goal each from Arnold Scholten and Rob Witschge. PSV, who have a game in hand and the better goal difference, visit Feyenoord next Sunday.
