88-77: Real Madrid round off a perfect week (Real Madrid)

The league leaders overcame Lenovo Tenerife in a highly entertaining game. Musa and Poirier, with a great last quarter, were the standout performers.

His six points in a row enabled our team to gain some air in the midst of the Tenerife onslaught. The league leaders dominated their opponents to make the score 70-59 at the end of the third quarter. There were still 10 minutes left to secure the 16th victory and defend the lead. Yabusele and Musa (12 points and 17 PIR) once more were pulling the strings in attack and led the madridistas to open a +14 gap at half-time (50-36). The French centre played a key role in the final quarter to clinch the win. Chus Mateo's team improved their defensive output as the minutes went by to make it a 7-1 lead thanks to a tireless Tavares.

Weekend Review: Premier League's top two lose, mediocre Real (ESPN)

Another weekend of European football is in the books and, as usual, there have been plot twists and upsets galore. Here's ESPN's Weekend Review.

[3-0](/soccer/report/_/gameId/638033) defeat at [Wolves](/soccer/club/_/id/380/wolverhampton-wanderers) deserves a stronger descriptor. [Ruben Neves](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/208128/Rúben-Neves) (of all people!) to saunter on goal and stroke a shot beyond Alisson for Wolves' third. [Nice](/soccer/team?id=2502) (1-0) and [Nantes](/soccer/team?id=165) (0-0). From [Luca de la Torre](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/225609/Luca-de-la-Torre)'s clever assist to Veiga juggling the ball past defender [Luiz Felipe](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/225637/Luiz-Felipe) and scooping it over goalkeeper [Rui Silva](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/177898/Rui-Silva), it was a move of pure quality in a ridiculously entertaining match. Celta forward [Jorgen Strand Larsen](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/252747/Jorgen-Strand-Larsen)'s opener is [a contender](https://twitter.com/ESPNPlus/status/1621965223237414913?s=20&t=PvKHCT1lqLc7zOJAdI7U0A), but let's go for [Gabri Veiga's goal](https://www.espn.com.au/soccer/player/_/id/307381/gabriel-veiga) in the 42nd minute. [Ligue 1](/soccer/league/_/name/fra.1), Angers have finally stopped the rot with an unexpected point away at [Lorient](/soccer/team?id=273) on Sunday. After an assist against [Mainz](/soccer/team?id=2950) and a key move against [Leverkusen](/soccer/team/_/id/131/bayer-leverkusen), his goal against Freiburg, so symbolic and so loaded with emotion, means so much to everyone at the club and its fans. [Karim Benzema](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/46858/Karim-Benzema) means no cutting edge, especially against a defence as deep-set as Mallorca's. Edin Terzic's team are now on Bayern's heels and this momentum -- four wins in four games since the restart -- has them very much in the title race alongside the reigning champions, plus [RB Leipzig](/soccer/team?id=11420), [Union Berlin](/soccer/team/_/id/598/fc-union-berlin) and [Eintracht Frankfurt](/soccer/team?id=125). During that scuffle, Casemiro grabbed Hughes by the throat and was cited by Harrington to Marriner, who then issued a red card for the [Brazil](/soccer/team?id=205) international. [5-1](/soccer/report/_/gameId/638604) win against Freiburg. The bleep test represents commitment, fight and a need to push through the uncomfortable in order to succeed, and that's exactly what Everton did Saturday.
