European football: Sørloth scores four goals in 17 minutes against Real Madrid

In a thrilling match, Alexander Sørloth scored four goals in just 17 minutes to assist Villarreal in making a comeback and earning a 4-4 draw against the titleholders Real Madrid. This incredible feat also enabled Sørloth to climb to the top of the La Liga's leading goal-scorer list.

Carlo Ancelotti's team recently became champions. They had a chance to score 99 points this season, which is only one short of their 2011-12 record. However, they will not be able to do so since they currently have 94 points and only one game left against Real Betis.

Ancelotti stated that the main objective was not to acquire points, as they were nonessential. Instead, the plan was to execute a solid game with a consistent pace and high level of energy, while also preventing injuries. The entire game went smoothly according to plan. The team is set to compete against Borussia Dortmund in the upcoming Champions League final on June 1st, but Ancelotti expressed no concerns regarding the outcome. The previous match was fairly evenly matched, with both teams demonstrating impressive attacks. While the opposing team managed to score more goals, it does not detract from the significant objective of the final game.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 14th minute with a goal from their young Turkish player Arda Guler, who received a pass from Brahim Díaz and kicked it into the low part of the net. Then, Joselu added another goal with a header from close distance after half an hour of play.

Sørloth managed to score a goal for Villarreal by heading the ball high up in the air in the 39th minute. However, Lucas Vázquez made sure that Real had a two-goal lead by scoring a goal only a minute later. Guler managed to secure another goal for Real in the final moments of the first half, making it 4-1. Even though the hosts were down, they didn't lose hope and made an impressive comeback in the second half. Sørloth worked his magic and scored three goals in just eight minutes, between the 48th and 56th, which helped him reach 23 league goals this season.

Even though Villarreal managed to get a draw, they won't be able to play in Europe next season since they're currently in eighth place with 52 points, trailing behind Betis by four points, who are in the Europa Conference League spot. Gerard Moreno, the Villarreal forward who contributed three assists, commented that the game had a lot of goals, which is enjoyable for the fans. He's satisfied with the team's performance in the second half and hopes to compete in Europe again next year. Moreover, Moreno expressed his support for Sørloth, a fellow teammate who he believes deserves to be the top scorer this season for his exceptional performance. Villarreal will be doing their best to assist Sørloth in achieving this goal.

In their last game at home this season, Barcelona managed to defeat Rayo Vallecano with a score of 3-0, securing second place in La Liga. The win was made possible by an early goal from Robert Lewandowski and two quick goals from Pedri. Specifically, the match started off with a goal in just the third minute, as Lamine Yamal passed the ball from the right wing to Lewandowski, who showcased his skills by expertly controlling with his chest and scoring with a volley.

Despite Rayo's attempts to equalize, Barcelona extended their lead with an impressive play by João Félix, whose shot was stopped, but Pedri was able to convert the rebound and grant the home team a two-goal advantage. Shortly thereafter, Pedri identified a weak spot in Rayo's defensive line and received a long pass from centre back Ronald Araujo, leading to his second goal of the season.

Barcelona now has a total of 82 points, which is four points more than Girona. Girona managed to secure a 3-1 win against Valencia.

Osasuna clinched their first victory against Atlético Madrid at their home turf since 2009 with a 4-1 win. Raúl García scored twice, one in the first half and the other in the second half. In the 26th minute, Alejandro Catena delivered a perfect header inside the box, which García confidently converted into a goal. In the second half, Osasuna doubled their lead when Atlético's keeper Jan Oblak fumbled a shot, allowing substitute Aimar Oroz to pounce on the loose ball and score from close range. This was Atlético's second home loss of the season.

In just three minutes, Álvaro Morata scored for Atlético from Angel Correa's pass. However, García of Osasuna regained their two-goal lead at the 64th minute before Lucas Torró guaranteed their victory by kicking the ball hard with his right foot at the 88th minute.

In a different location, Real Sociedad secured the final spot in the Europa League by winning 2-0 against Betis. However, Cádiz will face relegation as they drew 0-0 against Las Palmas, confirming their place in the second tier along with Granada and Almería.

Arne Slot presided over his final game as manager of Feyenoord before assuming control at Liverpool. He was welcomed with banners displaying the phrase "walk on, walk on," which is a part of the anthem that is shared by supporters of both clubs.

On Sunday, the Dutch team bid farewell to their coach with an impressive win of 4-0 in the derby game against Excelsior. This happened two days after Slot announced he would take over as the next manager at Anfield. Throughout the match, Feyenoord's fans cheered and chanted Slot's name, making it a touching goodbye. Unfortunately, Feyenoord was only able to secure second place in the league standings after PSV Eindhoven.

Slot, who is 45 years old, led Feyenoord to their second championship in 23 years during the 2022-23 season. Unfortunately, they were unable to defend their title in the current campaign due to PSV's dominance. PSV only lost one game throughout the season and finished seven points ahead of Feyenoord, who came in second place.

After the game at De Kuip, Slot expressed his immense gratitude to the fans, saying that he has created wonderful memories during his time at the club. He attributed much of the success to the players who have put forth their best effort on behalf of the club.

In free English, the blog section can be rewritten as: Slot expressed his gratitude towards the supporters of Feyenoord, acknowledging their unwavering encouragement since joining the club. He had been the head coach of Feyenoord for three years and helped the team achieve success by winning the Dutch Cup this year.

He expressed that he feels extremely lucky to have received such a high level of acknowledgement for his performances here. He also stated that he doesn't believe it could ever be exceeded.

Serie A title holders Internazionale managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Lazio at their home ground thanks to a header from Denzel Dumfries in the dying minutes, following an initial lead from the visitors courtesy of Daichi Kamada in the first half.

In the 32nd minute, Kamada scored the first goal of the game for the away team by shooting low and accurately into the corner outside of the box. Both teams had a number of opportunities to score before this. In the second half, both teams remained aggressive and continued to attack. Then, in the 87th minute, Dumfries managed to outmaneuver his defender and head in a free kick to even the score.

Juventus announced on Sunday that Paolo Montero will assume the position of head coach for the team until the end of the season, after Massimiliano Allegri was fired.

On Friday, Juventus fired Allegri due to his actions during and after the Coppa Italia final last week, which lead to his removal from the game. Montero, the current coach of Juventus' Under-19 team, will replace him for the remaining two matches of the season - one against Bologna on Monday, and one against Monza at home on Sunday. Montero, a 52-year-old Uruguayan, has a successful history with Juventus. He won four Serie A titles as a defender for the team from 1996 to 2005.

According to a statement from the club, Paolo is not only a great player, but also represents everything that Juventus stands for. He has now moved into a coaching role and we wish him all the best in his new position.
