Drama at Montilivi 58th min: Girona 0-2 Real Oviedo 90th min: Girona 3-2 Real Oviedo Full time: Girona 3-3 Real Oviedo When a game can finish like that, I guess to an extent, both teams feel like they’ve dropped points. Partidazo. #GironaRealOviedo #LALIGAEASPORTS

Girona are 100% getting relegated this season… and I know I’m saying that halfway through Matchday 3. #LaLiga #LALIGAEASPORTS

The more I read about the #Bundesliga’s deal for UK rights - particularly that they’re giving it to Mark Goldbridge for free - the more I think the league has compromised on its integrity. And it’s quite sad. You can spin it as it trying to reach new audiences, but let’s be real… 1/3

In my latest piece for LaLigaExpert, I take a look at how Julián Calero's newly-promoted side might approach life in the top flight, after winning the Segunda title. #Levante begin their #LaLiga season away to Deportivo Alavés on Saturday night. laligaexpert.com/pragmatic-ca...

Now confirmed by Girona. Centre-back Vitor Reis has joined on a season long loan from Manchester City. I wrote about this yesterday in a piece published on @footballespana.bsky.social ⤵️ www.football-espana.net/2025/08/07/g...

Here’s a piece I’ve written on Vitor Reis’ loan move to #Girona from #ManCity There’s (obviously) a good relationship between the clubs & Girona made it clear to CFG early this summer they would like 2 of City’s young talents on loan for the upcoming season www.football-espana.net/2025/08/07/g...

Today marks the end of an Era, OverTheBar is no more. L Following an agreement reached in June, ownership has changed. From today the OTB brand has ceased and takes on a new name The Bundesliga Show. I’m no longer involved, but I wish Mark & Rory all the best with what they do next.

OFFICIAL: Nico Williams has signed a new 8 year contract extension, which includes a release clause that’s over 50% higher than the previous on (the one Barcelona were reportedly struggling to meet). It means Nico is contracted with the Basque giants until 2035. #AthleticClub #UniqueInTheWorld

It’s no surprise to see Aston Villa (expect more clubs to follow) agreeing the sale of their Women’s team to related equity parties, given the way Chelsea were able to generate a sizeable financial positive on their books without any real objection from the Premier League.

Old - but still relevant :)

#RealOviedo promoted back to #LaLiga for the first time in 24 years! A golazo from Portillo to seal the 3-1 win over Mirandés. A bit feisty towards the end of extra time with red and yellow cards being handed out after some handbags. Scenes of jubilation after the whistle went.

Nice to see Fernando Alonso has made it to the game at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere #RealOviedoMirandés

José Copete rejecting a renewal offer from #RCDMallorca is disappointing. He’s got bags of quality. But needs the game time - which is why he’s rejected the renewal. His contract runs out at the end of next season, so Mallorca will now look to move him on this summer in order to get a fee.

Some photos from last weekend. I was at the #Betze for 1.FC #Kaiserslautern v #Schalke04 Tremendous atmosphere throughout and an entertaining 2-1 win for #FCK. A crowd of over 49,000 for a #2.Bundesliga game.

Rayo Vallecano vs Valencia 19-04-2025, La Liga Score: 1:1 Expected Goals: 0.60:1.93 Possession: 47:53 #RayoVallecano #Valencia ⚽🤖

Whatever anti-aging potion Ilkay Gundogan took over that last international break, I’d like some. He’s playing like a new man.

Real Madrid vs Valencia 05-04-2025, La Liga Score: 1:2 Expected Goals: 3.63:1.05 Possession: 66:34 #RealMadrid #Valencia ⚽🤖

Hugo Duro’s goal seals Valencia’s first win vs Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu since 2008. It also means he matches Ronaldinho’s record of scoring against Los Blancos in four consecutive La Liga matches (both spanning two campaigns)! #RealMadridValencia

Kevin De Bruyne confirms he is leaving #ManCitythis summer
