Here’s a recent soccer story from The Associated Press:

Kylian Mbappé scored and Real Madrid moved within four points of Spanish leaders Barcelona with a 3-0 win at Leganes on Sunday ahead of their highly anticipated Champions League game against Liverpool.

Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham also scored to reduce the deficit to Barcelona, ​​who conceded two late goals in a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Madrid have played one fewer game than Barcelona after their game in Valencia was postponed due to deadly floods in October.

Madrid will travel to England to face Premier League leaders Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, hoping to bounce back from a demoralizing 3-1 home defeat to AC Milan in the previous round.

Madrid’s attack worked well against Leganes, with Vinícius Júnior playing inside and Mbappé more on the wing. The French striker scored after failing to score in four straight games for the Spanish powerhouse.

“We changed positions and the team was able to maintain control throughout the game,” said Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Mbappé said he is fine playing wherever Ancelotti puts him.

“I said on the first day that I can play in several different positions,” Mbappé said. “All I want is to keep playing well and scoring goals.”

Athletic wins the Basque derby

Oihan Sancet scored the winner in the 26th minute as Athletic Bilbao beat Real Sociedad 1-0 in the Basque Country derby.

It was Athletic’s fourth consecutive home win against Sociedad in the derby.

The victory moved Athletic to fifth place and left Sociedad in tenth place.

Villarreal recovers late

Fourth-placed Villarreal equalized in stoppage time to save a 2-2 draw at sixth-placed Osasuna.

Ante Budimir scored two goals for Osasuna in the first 20 minutes. Villarreal, making it three straight wins in all competitions, scored in the 67th minute through Álex Baena and a penalty converted by Gerard Moreno three minutes into stoppage time.

Osasuna, three points behind Villarreal, suffered a 4-0 defeat in Madrid.

Also on Sunday, Sevilla ended a two-game losing streak in the league with a 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano, who played the entire second half with 10 men after Unai López was sent off for a hard foul.

Djibril Sow scored Sevilla’s goal in the 27th minute.
