The first El Clásico match of this season took place on 18th December at the Camp Nou – a more vibrant affair than the drab 0-0 scoreline suggested. The visitors came closest, … [Read more...]
Willian Jose Must Overcome His Transfer Disappoint and Help Fire Sociedad into Europe
Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose will not be playing Premier League football this season.

Can Dani Ceballos work his way back into the Arsenal team?
According to reports, Dani Ceballos had been trying to force his way out of Arsenal this month before backing down when the club stood their ground in the closing days of the winter transfer window.

Real Betis First Team: Who are the Key Players to Watch?
The current season for Real Betis, the football team with one of the most storied histories of any sports organization in the world, saw significant changes in terms of lineups, business deals and more.

Real Madrid Set for Transformation This Summer
Real Madrid have failed to live up to their usual high standards this season in La Liga and the Champions League, which could lead to the Spanish giants splashing the cash in the summer to reshape how their team looks for the 2019/20 campaign.
