Praise for ÖFB star
Las Palmas vs Barcelona – LIVE copy from 9pm
Real Madrid followed suit in the Spanish soccer title fight on Sunday. The team with Austrian star David Alaba, who was in the starting eleven for the first time since the end of his 13-month injury break (cruciate ligament), defeated Girona 2-0 in front of their home crowd.

Defensive player Alaba was substituted in the 73rd minute and made a solid comeback to the starting eleven. "He felt comfortable and stood up well. He can be in the starting eleven in the Champions League. He's gradually reaching the height of his performance potential. He was ready a month ago before he got injured. He's just missing the minutes. It would only be a risk if he played every three days," said Real coach Carlo Ancelotti about the Viennese.
Since his return on January 19, the 32-year-old Alaba had made several brief appearances as a substitute before suffering an adductor injury at the beginning of February. It was Real's first full success in the league after three games without a win (2 draws, 1 defeat).
In the battle for the Champions League places, Athletic Bilbao celebrated a 7:1 home win over LaLiga bottom side Real Valladolid. The Basques are six points behind Barca and Real in fourth place. Atletico Madrid (53) are third.
