    A disappointing night for Lionel Messi and Barca.

    Barcelona and Real Madrid suffered their first defeats of the season on a dramatic evening in La Liga.

    A subdued Barca looked to have handed their rivals an opportunity after crashing to a 2-1 loss at Leganes, who moved off the foot of the table by clinching their first victory of the campaign.

    Real, though, conceded three times in the first 39 minutes at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan as they were humbled 3-0 at Sevilla, meaning Barca remain top of the standings on goal difference.

    Can Team Europe regain the Ryder Cup?

    The United States are favourites to retain the Ryder Cup when they take on Europe at Le Golf National, starting on Thursday.

    However, the visitors have not tasted victory on European soil since 1993 and Thomas Bjorn’s side will be keen to make the most of home advantage on a course which has hosted the European Tour’s French Open for the last 17 years in succession.
