‘There was no penalty' – Osasuna boss says Real Madrid were gifted winner
Osasuna manager Alessio Lisci has expressed his disappointment that VAR did not intervene to overrule a penalty against his side, as they fell to defeat against Real Madrid. Lisci noted that his side were forced to adapt significantly for the match, and that El Sadar is likely to see something different in their home debut on Sunday against Valencia. However Los Rojillo were not content with either of the major decisions taken by the referee, the first being the decision to award a penalty against Juan Cruz. 'I thought it was a clear penalty in person, but looking at it closely, you have to analyze whether Mbappe first stepped on Juan or whether Juan hit Mbappé with his right foot. It seems to me that Mbappe first hooked Juan. There is no penalty,' Lisci explained to Diario AS. During the incident, Mbappe can be seen stepping on Cruz's foot, while the defender's right leg then makes contact with the Frenchman's other leg. Osasuna's official Twitter/X account seemed to question the decision after the match too. The Navarrese side were not happy with the red card for Abel Bretones in stoppage time either. 'It was Real Madrid's only counterattack' On the game itself, Lisci lamented the fact that Osasuna had conceded effectively from Real Madrid's only counterattack. 'Yes. It was the only counterattack. It's a shame, but ninety minutes without conceding a counterattack is difficult. It makes me angry because during the break, we adjusted a situation because on the right in Moncayola and Ruben's area, they were easily sinking us, and during the break, we fixed it and in the second half, we started well. And it's a shame that the transition happened at that moment. But hey, when you're playing against Real Madrid, it's hard to let them create less than they did today because they created very, very little. It's a shame that one of them went through and it was a goal.' 'The team improved after the break. The goal came from a transition, it wasn't a defensive move. We were very good in the transitions, they practically never had the chance to run into space.' 'It's a different game to La Liga' – Lisci In terms of what positives Osasuna could take going forward, Lisci explained that he was expecting a different game against Los Che this weekend. Image via Jesús G. FeriaLa Razón 'It's a very different game from the rest of La Liga. We had to adjust things, be a little less aggressive, protect our backs a bit, and we did well. Next week is Valencia, so we'll change things because there are two or three games a year where you have to adjust a lot. We'll see how things go. There were some good moments, but they'll be different games.' Certainly Lisci will have been pleased with their defensive efforts and the organisation shown from Osasuna. Last season it as a frequent issue that Los Rojillo suffered from, and defending in a similar manner, they will a number of clean sheets this season.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. immediately arrested in Mexico after U.S. deportation, placed in maximum-security prison
Julio César Chávez Jr. has been deported from the United States to his native Mexico, where the boxer was immediately arrested and jailed in Sonora. Chávez was initially arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in early July — just four days after losing a unanimous decision to Jake Paul — in Studio City, California, for overstaying his visa and lying on a green-card application. He was detained in the U.S. for more than a month before he could be deported and arrested in Mexico for alleged involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition and explosives. It is claimed that the four-year investigation into Chávez began in 2019 and found him to have ties to the Sinaloa Cartel, with a warrant issued for his arrest in Mexico in 2023. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed Chávez's deportation on Tuesday to reporters. Chávez Jr. is currently being held in a federal maximum-security prison in Hermosillo, Sonora. Chávez, a former WBC middleweight champion, is the son of the legendary boxer Julio César Chávez Sr. He famously battled Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in 2017 but lost handily in the all-Mexican affair. Recently, Chávez Jr. has been battling alcohol addiction and has competed at a lower level since quitting on the stool against Daniel Jacobs in 2019. Chávez's loss to Paul was a disappointment for many boxing purists as the former champion was reluctant to engage for much of the contest, though when he did let his hands go in the final couple of rounds, he had success — leading many to feel that if he had began the fight with the intent to win, rather than survive, he might've emerged victorious against Paul.

Boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. deported after U.S. arrest, faces criminal charges in Mexico
Former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. was deported Monday to Mexico, where he is expected to face charges under Mexican law, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed in a statement to The Athletic. Chávez, 39, is being held in a prison in Hermosillo in the northern state of Sonora, according to multiple reports Tuesday. Advertisement The boxer, a son of legendary fighter Julio César Chávez, had a warrant for his arrest in Mexico in connection with allegedly dealing arms, distributing illicit drugs and having cartel ties. He was arrested in the Los Angeles area in July by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a high-profile prize fight against Jake Paul. The match took place one day after Chávez was determined by DHS to be in the country illegally, allegedly overstaying his visa. U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson posted a social media message Tuesday that depicted Chávez handcuffed and being escorted by heavily armed law enforcement. The message, written in Spanish, said Chávez had been deported to Mexico to face charges. @DHSgov deportó a Julio César Chávez Jr. a las autoridades mexicanas para que enfrente los cargos conforme a la justicia de su país. Esta acción refleja la sólida cooperación entre nuestros gobiernos, demostrando que la colaboración ofrece resultados y fortalece la seguridad de… — Embajador Ronald Johnson (@USAmbMex) August 19, 2025 Chávez's lawyer, Michael Goldstein, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. After Chávez's arrest in July, however, Goldstein called the allegations against Chávez 'outrageous,' adding that Chávez's 'brazen' arrest was 'designed to terrorize the community.' 'Mr. Chávez is not a threat to the community,' Goldstein said in a statement to The Athletic at the time. Spot the pattern.
