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.It was only a narrow win but it was a classic Real Madrid one in many ways.
Firstly you had the element of the unjust, the sort of thing that will have the Barcelona-based sports dailies quivering with anger on their front pages.
Then you had the win out of nothing, a result that never seemed likely until they went ahead and then looked a remote chance when Hakim Ziyech equalised with just over ten minutes to go and momentum lurched back towards the hosts.
Marco Asensio's late goal, scored in his mother's homeland, changes the complexion of this tie completely though.
