Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BARCELONA stay in pole position in Spain after a 1-0 home win over Zaragoza yesterday, with Real Madrid second on goal difference after beating Cadiz 3-1. Michael Laudrup hit a fourth-minute winner for Barcelona, who had Jose Guardiola sent off. Madrid had to come from behind: Emilio Butragueno, with two, and Ivan Zamorano scored their goals.
Bayern Munich clung on to their one-point lead over Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga after discarding a two-goal lead at Borussia Monchengladbach. Christian Ziege and Mehmet Scholl were on target for the Bavarians before the break, but the Swede, Martin Dahlin, struck twice in the second half.
PSV Eindhoven regained the lead from Feyenoord in the Netherlands with a 3-1 home win over Utrecht. Romario scored twice to take his tally to 20 this season, either side of a free- kick goal from Erwin Koeman. PSV are one point ahead of the Rotterdam club, Ajax are a further four points adrift with a game in hand.
