Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso wades into Barcelona controversies
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has sided with colleague Jagoba Arrasate over the refereeing controversy this weekend. On Saturday night, Barcelona took a 2-0 lead over RCD Mallorca in controversial fashion, which Mallorca manager Arrasate explained 'makes you mad'. During the first half, defender Antonio Raillo headed away a shot from Lamine Yamal and fell to the ground. However the referee neglected to stop the game, despite the risk of a head injury, and while some Mallorca players looked to have stopped, Ferran Torres played to the whistle, and placed the ball into the top corner. 'Arrasate explained it well' – Xabi Alonso Speaking ahead of Real Madrid's opening La Liga clash against Osasuna on Tuesday night, Alonso was asked about the controversial decisions during Mallorca's 3-0 defeat to Barcelona. 'It's not my place to comment on what's happening in other games, but I did hear what Arrasate said and he explained it very well,' Alonso told Diario AS. Image via JESUS ALVAREZ ORIHUELA/Diario AS Alonso believes USA game sets an unacceptable precedent Alonso was also quizzed about the prospect of the USA game, with Villarreal's home match against Barcelona in December proposed for the first ever La Liga match abroad in Miami. Alonso referred to Real Madrid's statement on the matter, which called the proposal unacceptable, and explained that it compromised the legitimacy of the competition. 'I completely agree with the club's statement. If the rules are changed, it must be done unanimously by all participants. That's not the case now.' What did Jagoba Arrasate say about the controversy? After his side's defeat to Barcelona, Arrasate was in no mood to give the officials the benefit of the doubt. He admitted that it had made him 'mad'. Image via Francisco Ubilla/Reuters 'I think we've all seen it. Last week, they explained to us all that if there's a blow to the head, the game is stopped, and the fourth official in front of me told him to stop because it's a blow to the head. He puts the whistle to his mouth. We all thought he'd blown it, and to everyone's amazement, he gives a goal; and I don't quite understand. He came, I thank him for coming, he gave me an explanation, he told me he wasn't dizzy, and when you fall, you don't know if he was dizzy or not.' 'We complained about the criteria, which I don't think is the same. That grates on you, irritates you, and makes you mad.'

Jamie Carragher makes exciting prediction about Estevao Willian at Chelsea
Jamie Carragher makes exciting prediction about Estevao Willian at Chelsea originally appeared on The Sporting News Estevao Willian got his first taste of Premier League football on Sunday as he made his debut for Chelsea against Crystal Palace. Though the Brazilian could not inspire his team to a win against the Eagles, he showed flashes of what he is capable of doing, and that has excited fans to no end. Both fans and pundits have been raving about the teenager's abilities since his debut over the weekend. Despite being new to the English league and European football on the whole, the teenager has all the necessary skills and tricks to make his mark going forward. More importantly, it is worth remembering that Estevao Willian was a first-team regular for Palmeiras. Additionally, he has already earned five international caps for the Brazilian national team. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Jamie Carragher predicts Estevao Willian will break into the Chelsea XI soon During the first Monday Night Football of the season on Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher earmarked Estevao Willian as his player to watch in the Premier League for the new 2025/26 season. The Sky Sports pundit predicted that the South American talent will quickly force his way into the starting line-up at Stamford Bridge. He then went on to add that it might happen as soon as Chelsea's next match against West Ham on Friday night. When discussing Chelsea youngster Estevao, Carragher said via Sky Sports' Main Event channel, 'I think he's already got Brazil caps. He was fantastic in the Club World Cup against Chelsea a few weeks ago. At the end of the game, all the players were coming up to him and talking to him.' 'I watched the Chelsea game yesterday [against Palace], and he made a difference when he came on. He looks pretty special. I think in a few pre-season games as well in the last couple of weeks that they've played well, he's done particularly well…' 'He's still a young player. He's obviously not the finished article. But he does look like one of them, where you're thinking, I don't think it will be too long before he's first choice, where it feels like he has to play. It almost felt like they had to bring him on at the weekend, and he made a difference. I think he's probably got a decent chance of being involved on Friday night.' Given the kind of performance that Estevao Willian put in on Sunday, it is hard to argue with Carragher's evaluation of the player. The youngster did have an impact since coming on as a substitute for Jamie Gittens and has a good chance of starting on Friday night against West Ham.
