LaLiga: Espanyol – Atlético, an opener already under pressure?
LaLiga: Espanyol – Atlético, an opener already under pressure? The curtain rises this Sunday at the Cornellà stadium. Espanyol host Atlético de Madrid to kick off a season full of both promise and uncertainty. The Catalans know exactly where their priority lies: securing survival. Edu Expósito, one of the team captains, has made it clear time and again. Still, with a solid preseason under their belts (four wins and a draw in five matches), Manolo González's side are hoping to spring a surprise. New signing Miguel Rubio, in excellent form, is set to make his debut in the starting lineup on opening day. Atlético, on the other hand, arrive with a point to prove. The disappointment of the recent Club World Cup still lingers, but Simeone has reshaped his squad. Seven new faces have joined: Raspadori, Álex Baena, Thiago Almada, Johnny Cardoso, and Marc Pubill among them. These fresh arrivals bring energy and internal competition. Griezmann, Koke, and Oblak provide leadership for an ambitious generation. In their two preseason matches, Los Colchoneros defeated Newcastle (0-2) after an earlier setback against Porto (1-0). The predicted lineups suggest a balanced clash, with young talents to watch on both sides. Espanyol are aiming for peace of mind, Atlético are chasing the title. And this opening duel already promises to reveal a lot.

La Liga: Athletic vs Sevilla, a tense opener
La Liga: Athletic vs Sevilla, a tense opener This Sunday, San Mamés plays host to a clash between two clubs living very different realities. Athletic Bilbao has its sights set on European competition, while Sevilla FC is focused above all on avoiding relegation. On the Basque side, the summer has hardly been reassuring. Just one win in seven friendlies, and that was against Ponferradina. Six defeats, including losses to Alavés, PSV, and Racing, have left fans worried. The squad, weakened by injuries, is lacking in stability. Ernesto Valverde will have to improvise in defense, though the return of Aitor Paredes to training is a welcome boost. Sevilla also arrives with its own set of problems. Their preseason was inconsistent, with a fragile defense and only one notable victory, against Schalke 04. Injuries to Nianzou, Jordán, and Isaac Romero are a heavy burden. But the real headache is financial. No signings, no departures, and a salary cap that even prevents some players from being registered. The crisis is shaking the club and supporters are growing restless. Despite everything, Matías Almeyda remains upbeat. The Argentine coach emphasizes solidarity, youth, and fighting spirit. His philosophy is clear: play without fear, no matter the doubts. Athletic wants to start strong. Sevilla needs to survive. The showdown promises a tense battle from the opening matchday.

Real Madrid youngster growing in stature under Xabi Alonso
Arda Guler's arrival at Real Madrid in 2023 was celebrated with much fanfare, more so considering that the club had beaten arch-rivals Barcelona to his signing. However, injuries, inconsistent form, and a lack of confidence from former manager Carlo Ancelotti meant that the Turkish wonderkid was unable to showcase his potential and quality to the fullest. Arda Guler takes a leap with Xabi Alonso Now, as MARCA reports, Guler is living one of his best moments at Real Madrid following the arrival of Xabi Alonso. During the last two seasons, Guler had to make do with scraps in terms of opportunities, as he was only handed starts in the final stages of the season or in less decisive matches. So, the 2025/26 season marks the start of a new story for him with Alonso giving him the role and importance he sought in the previous regime – starting all but one game at the FIFA Club World Cup, and the youngster, thus far, has delivered. Arda Guler set for a crucial role under Alonso. (Photo by) The transition into a new role in midfield has also proven to be critical as in his current position, Guler has been able to fully display his range of skills in support of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and the rest. In the most recent friendly against Tirol, these improvements were there for everyone to see. His assist to Mbappe showcased his innate ability to see things earlier than others. He also assumed responsibility for set-pieces, and in front of goal, the crossbar denied him twice. Through the summer, Guler has also undergone significant physical transformation. Thanks to weeks of hard work he has gained the physical presence needed to endure the intensity of elite football. All of this has contributed to his growth in stature under Xabi Alonso and should lay the foundation for him to take a further leap and establish himself as an integral member of this Real Madrid side.
