MADRID, March 11 (Reuters) - Real Madrid have called a board meeting for Sunday to discuss alleged attempts by arch rivals Barcelona to influence referees, the European and Spanish soccer champions said on Saturday.

Goals from Vinícius Júnior, Éder Militão and Marco Asensio gave Real Madrid a 3-1 win over Espanyol in La Liga, who took an early lead through Joselu.

Bayern Munich bounced back from a goal down and struck four first-half goals against Augsburg en route to a 5-3 victory in the Bavarian derby . Asensio smashed in a third in added-time to wrap up the win for Real, who had dropped points in draws against Atlético Madrid and Real Betis in their last two league games. Rrahmani then doubled Napoli’s lead in the 77th minute with a towering header from a corner. Real continued to press after the break and Rodrygo almost scored their third with a free kick that cannoned off the crossbar in the 75th minute. Napoli, who suffered only their second league defeat last week at home to Lazio, were made to wait until the hour mark to go in front. Real stepped up the pressure as they sought a leveller with Eduardo Camavinga getting a shot on target, before Vinícius Júnior showed his individual skill in the 22nd minute to cut into the box, beat two defenders and rifle in.

But a quick change of direction toward the center opened up just enough of a window for him to thread a shot between four defenders before it hit the post and found the net. “We gave it all we had, but Real Madrid shows no mercy.” Espanyol’s José Gragera tackled Aurélien Tchouaméni in midfield to start the counterattack. It was a game we had to win at any cost,” Ancelotti said. “They had a great start, but we were able to come back and take control. Karim Benzema missed the game as he rested to recover from an ankle problem.

Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, who held the role between 1994 and 2018, is also facing charges of corruption in a case brought by the Spanish public prosecutor's ...

A club statement read: “Given the seriousness of the accusations made by the Barcelona Prosecutor’s Office against FC Barcelona and two of its presidents for well-founded suspicions of corruption and their relations with whoever was the vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees, José María Enríquez Negreira, the president has convened urgently to the Board of Directors tomorrow, Sunday, March 12, 2023 at 12:00 p.m., in order to decide on the actions that Real Madrid deems appropriate in relation to this matter.” However, given the “seriousness of accusations” against Barcelona and the confirmation of charges, Florentino Perez has called a meeting this weekend to discuss his club’s options going forward. “We must respect the times of justice and now we must wait for the conclusion of the investigations of the prosecutor’s office,” director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno said after the draw with Atletico Madrid.

Vinicius blasted over as Madrid looked to press home their advantage and the Brazilian was also knocked to the floor off the ball by Oscar Gil, who was booked. Joselu had sent the visitors ahead early on at the Santiago Bernabeu but Vinicius produced a surging run and lethal finish to pull the champions level. Vinicius Junior scored a fine solo goal as Real Madrid came from behind to beat Espanyol 3-1 and cut Barcelona's lead to six points at the top of La Liga on Saturday.

Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid had to come from behind to claim a 3-1 win over Espanyol at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday afternoon.

Once the early storm had been overcome, Real Madrid grew into the game. Eduardo Camavinga had a tough start at the Bernabeu, and his second mistake of the day let the visitors get in down Real Madrid's left. Vinicius Junior and Eder Militao were both on target for the Spanish champions.
