Lewandowski scores brace as Barca thrash Real Madrid in Clasico
The win lifts Barca six points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga and also means Real Madrid's run of 42 La Liga games without defeat comes to an end, reports Xinhua.
Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone spoke on Friday about the future of his French defender Lucas Hernandez, best known as Lucas, amid reports that Bundesliga’s Bayern Munich was interested in signing the player.
The Argentine coach was referring to reports that Bayern had already reached a deal to sign Lucas for 85 million euros ($97 million) in January, prevailing over offers by England’s Manchester United and Spain’s Real Madrid, reports Efe news.
“What I can say about Lucas is that I spoke with him, I spoke with the club,” Simeone said at a press conference. “Both Lucas and the club know what I think and what I would like.”
