Barcelona's march in the Basque Country comes to a halt

Bundesliga

Augsburg – Hoffenheim 0:0

Drawing lots doesn’t really help anyone. Augsburg (without the injured Vargas) and Hoffenheim parted ways with a tired No. 0. Augsburg missed a step towards a European place and Hoffenheim could not stay away from the relegation zone.

Stuttgart-Eintracht Frankfurt 2:3

Stuttgart continue to struggle this season. In the 10th round of the Bundesliga, he unfortunately lost 2-3 at home to Frankfurt.

Former St. Gallen player Elmedin Demirovic is the unluckiest man on this Stuttgart side. In the 22nd minute, the Bosnian hit the edge of the goal twice, but his penalty was blocked by Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. It wasn't until the 86th minute, some time after Fabian Riedel had been substituted, that last season's runners-up started scoring. Josha Vagnoman and Nick Woltemade cut the deficit to 2-3. Chris Frisch's 97th-minute equalizer did not survive the scrutiny of the video referee.

Frankfurt are significantly more efficient without Orele Armenda. Ugo Ekitike, Nathaniel Brown and Omar Mamouche scored respectively to give the team a 3-0 lead. Frankfurt ranked third and Stuttgart ranked only 11th.

Serie A

AS Roma – Bologna 2:3

From a Swiss perspective, Bologna's away win against Roma was costly. In the 23rd minute, Natty offensive player Dan Ndoye crashed into the post and injured his leg. The 24-year-old had to be carried off the field and his availability for the Nations League next week is highly doubtful. Swedish striker Jesper Carlsson emerged as the winner of the match.

Inter Milan-Napoli 1-1

Yann Sommer and Inter Milan missed the chance to top the table in Serie A. The league champions drew 1-1 at home with leader Napoli. In the 23rd minute, Scott McTominay took a corner kick to help the visiting team Naples take the lead. Sommer was unable to do anything when the Scot fired from close range.

But Inter equalized just before the break with Hakan Calhanoglu's superb strike from 25 meters out. The Mannheim-born Turkish national team captain had his best chance to score the winning goal in the second half, but his 74th-minute penalty failed to hit the left post.

The rankings remain exciting by sharing points among the top matches in Round 12. Napoli continues to lead with 25 points, followed by the top four of Inter Milan, Fiorentina, Atalanta Bergamo and Lazio Roma, only one point behind. Sixth-ranked Juventus Turin is also only two points behind Napoli.

Real Sociedad – Barcelona 1:0

FC Barcelona's good run in the Basque Country is coming to an end. The Spanish leader lost 0-1 away to Real Sociedad in the 13th round. Despite suffering their second defeat of the campaign, Barcelona still lead the table by six points over chasers Real Madrid.

The Catalans should have taken the away lead through Robert Lewandowski 13 minutes later, but the Pole's goal was ruled out for offside. Real Sociedad then found better form and won 1-0 after half an hour through former Bundesliga striker Sherardo Becker (Union Berlin). The home team's lead continued until the end.

It was Barca's first defeat since late September. Head coach Hansi Flick's side have shown strong form of late, scoring four goals for Real Madrid in El Clasico and five for Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.
