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.A group of Barcelona fans angered by the dismissal of Johan Cruyff as coach tried to attack the club's vice-president Joan Gaspart before Barca's Spanish league game with Celta Vigo yesterday.
Cruyff's son, Jordi, was given a standing ovation as dozens of banners criticising the board were waved around the stadium. Barcelona, who are out of the title race, came from 2-0 down to win an exciting game 3-2, with two goals by Oscar Garcia and another by Angel Cuellar.
The former England manager Bobby Robson, who has won club championships in the Netherlands and Portugal, is expected to sign a two-year contract to take over as coach this week. In explaining his decision to leave Porto, Robson told a Portugues enewspaper this weekend: "It was the professional challenge that attracted me. Barcelona hasn't won the title for two seasons and so it's a good time to go there."
Valencia kept the Spanish title race alive when they beat Espanol 1-0 with a goal by Carlos Arroyo. The leaders, Atletico Madrid, need only draw their last match, at home to Albacete, to take the title after earning a point at Tenerife on Saturday.
Rudi Voller's final game in German league football ended in drama on Saturday when his Bayer Leverkusen side snatched a late equaliser to relegate the 1991 champions, Kaiserslautern, who had been in the Bundesliga since it was set up in 1963.
