European football: Olmo double takes Barca top; Díaz fires up Bayern’s late rally

Aitana Bonmatí, the Barcelona midfielder and three-time Ballon d’Or winner, has sustained a fractured left fibula during training, ruling her out of the second leg of Spain's Nations League final against Germany. This injury occurred just days before the crucial match, which follows a goalless first leg where Spain's goalkeeper Cata Coll played a pivotal role in keeping the score level despite Germany's dominance.

Ajax's Eredivisie match against Groningen was abandoned due to an 'utterly outrageous' firework display that filled the Johan Cruyff Arena with smoke shortly after kickoff. Referee Bas Nijhuis halted the game within five minutes, and attempts to resume were thwarted by further fireworks, leading to a formal abandonment of the match.

Barcelona secured a comeback victory against Alaves with goals from Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo, allowing them to reclaim the top position in La Liga. The match showcased Barcelona's resilience and attacking capabilities, crucial for maintaining their competitive edge in the league.
