Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA had a player sent off and missed a penalty as they surrendered the Spanish league leadership to Real Madrid with a 2-1 defeat at the Bernabeu. Real fell behind in the 33rd minute when Claudio Barragan touched home a cross from Jose Bebeto, but a few minutes after the interval Claudio was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Ivan Zamorano headed Real level in the 67th minute, but Deportivo then missed a penalty. Real's winner in the 84th minute came from Michel's superb drive from outside the penalty area.

Barcelona stepped up their pursuit of the title in third place with a 7-2 thrashing of Sporting Gijon.
