1. Mallorca surprise Real. Disappointing in the Balares, Real Madrid conceded a surprise defeat on the lawn of Mallorca (1-0) on Matchday 20 of La Liga. Mens after an own goal from Nacho (13th) and harmless in the first period, the Merengues had the opportunity to equalize from the penalty spot in the second half but goalkeeper Rajkovic rejected Asensio’s attempt. With only one shot on target out of 20 attempts, Casa Blanca lacked precision in the last gesture this afternoon. This result obviously does not help Real, which could end up eight points from FC Barcelona if Xavi’s men win against FC Sville in the evening (9 p.m.).
2. Monaco keeps pace. In mastery, Monaco logically won Clermont (0-2). The Mongasques made the difference in the first quarter of an hour with a header from Maripan deflected into his goal by Wieteska (3rd) then a header from Embolo at the far post (13th). This fifth victory in seven league games allows ASM, fourth, to remain in the running for the podium, one point from Lens and two from Marseille.

3. First la Meinau for Strasbourg. The Strasbourg supporters were finally able to party at La Meinau this Sunday after Strasbourg’s first home win this season against Montpellier (2-0). The Strasbourgeois took the lead after 13 seconds of play and a recovery from Diallo on a cross from rookie Sanson (1st). Then Diallo scored a double on a huge error from defender Kouyat (45th + 1). Ten against eleven after the expulsion of Aholou for a big sole on Fayad half an hour into the game, Racing held up well in the second period against the overly timid Montpellier. Strasbourg climbs to 17th place, one point from the first non-releasable.
4. Angers finally takes a point. Traveling to Lorient, Angers has not died and leaves Brittany with a point (0-0). It may be a detail for you, but for the SCO it means a lot since the Angevins thus put an end to a series of 13 consecutive defeats. Bouhazama’s men also created the best opportunities against Lorient, who continued with a second consecutive game without a win. Les Merlus keep 7th place, Angers remains red lantern.
5. Dirty day for Ajaccio… AC Ajaccio will have very bad memories of his defeat against Nantes (0-2). Surprised by Guessand on the first opportunity for the Canaries (64th), the Ajacciens conceded a second goal at the end of the match on a penalty from Blas (89th) for a handball in the position of last defender of Diallo, sent off. The Corsican club also lost its captain Marchetti to injury. 18th in the standings, Ajaccio is overtaken by Strasbourg. Nantes gives itself a little air in 13th placefive points ahead of 14th, Montpellier.
6. Reims silent but still solid. By taking a point against Reims (0-0), Auxerre stopped its series of 7 defeats in a row. But AJA could have hoped for better, dominating a good part of the match, while the Rmois were less dangerous than in their last match against Lorient (4-2). However, the Champagne team is still as solid and chained a fourteenth undefeated league match. Reims is 10th in the standings, Auxerre remains 19th five points behind the first non-releasable.
7. Napoli do not lift their foot. On the occasion of the 21st day of Serie A, Naples has largely won on the lawn of La Spezia (3-0). Launched by a penalty from Kvaratskhelia (47th), the Partenopei ensured their fifth success in a row thanks to a double from Osimhen (68th, 73rd), his 15th and 16th goals in the league this season. Solid leader, the Napoli claim a fifth consecutive success in the league and have a 16-point lead over AS Roma and Inter Milanwhich receives AC Milan in the evening (8:45 p.m.).
