Bundesliga: Jerome Gondorf’s stoppage-time winner clinched Darmstadt a 2-1 home win against Schalke as the Bundesliga’s bottom club staved off relegation for at least another week. Darmstadt needed all three points to avoid the drop following Mainz’s home win against Hertha Berlin on Saturday and midfielder Gondorf fired home in the third minute of time added on. Victory for Darmstadt lifts them to within 14 points of fourth-bottom Mainz with five games remaining.

Schweinsteiger: Bastian Schweinsteiger scored one and set-up the other two as the Chicago Fire beat the New England Revolution 3-0. The German grabbed his second goal in three matches as his impressive start to life in the MLS continued after arriving from Manchester United last month. Schweinsteiger fired in from a tight angle just before half-time, before laying on two goals for Nemanja Nikolic in the second half.

Lewandowski: Robert Lewandowski has given Bayern Munich a fitness boost ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal second leg with Real Madrid by returning to training yesterday. Bayern meet Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu tomorrow and go into the game trailing 2-1 from the first leg in Munich. Lewandowski, 28, was sidelined for that match due to a shoulder injury.

Deulofeu: Gerard Deulofeu could be heading back to Barcelona after an excellent spell on loan to Milan, reports said. The 23-year-old joined them on loan in Januray after failing to hold down a first-team sport at Everton, but his form has caught the eye and earned him a recall to the Spain squad for the friendly with France last month.
