Barcelona has won their eighth consecutive match in the Spanish top-flight competition after defeating Girona at Camp Nou on Saturday night.

The Catalans dominated the first half with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez scoring in the opening 15 minutes to give them a comfortable lead. However, Girona fought back in the second half, but Barcelona's defense held firm to secure all three points.

Lionel Messi was named man of the match for his impressive display, scoring twice as he continues to be one of the most prolific strikers in world football.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating Inter Milan 4-2 in Italy on Thursday night. The German giants were dominant throughout the game, with Robert Lewandowski scoring two goals and setting up another as they moved into the last eight.

Lewandowski is currently leading the race for the UEFA Player of the Year award, having scored 37 goals in just 30 matches this season. His performances have been crucial in helping Bayern to win the Bundesliga title and reach the knockout stages of Europe's premier club tournament.

In other news, Manchester United have confirmed that they have signed Romelu Lukaku from Everton for £97.5 million. The Belgian striker will join the Red Devils on a five-year contract, replacing Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has left the club.

It remains to be seen how these signings will affect the teams' performances in the upcoming seasons, but it is clear that both Barcelona and Bayern Munich will be looking to continue their strong form in La Liga and the Champions League respectively.
