We open the news blinds on a Friday that breathes football from every angle, with eyes set both on the pitch and in the boardrooms.
The aftermath of the Europa League leaves us with an unbeatable taste thanks to Celta’s feat in Greece, while on the domestic front, Real Madrid is already packing their bags for a visit to El Sadar that promises to be decisive in the fight for the league title.
However, it’s not all about the ball; institutional tension returns to the scene with a new chapter in the conflict between the RFEF and LaLiga, this time with the points from Rayo-Oviedo up in the air.
Amid statements of self-criticism in Barcelona and the anticipation for Sonia Bermúdez’s first squad list of 2026, today’s agenda is packed with big names and decisions that will shape the course of the season.
Real Madrid already looking to Pamplona
The Whites travel today to Navarre to face Osasuna tomorrow. Álvaro Arbeloa leads the final training session this morning at Valdebebas with a clear objective: to secure the top spot in LALIGA. The coach aims to maintain defensive solidity in one of the toughest stadiums in the league.
Dani Olmo puts out the fire in Barcelona
After recent setbacks, Dani Olmo has called for calm on RAC1. The Spanish international was self-critical, stating that they must improve to compete for the Champions League, but defended the current style of play. "We’re not going to create a catastrophe over two bad games", said the Barça attacking midfielder.
Open war between the RFEF and LaLiga over Rayo-Oviedo
Legal conflict on the horizon. A report from the RFEF states that LaLiga did not have the authority to suspend the Rayo-Oviedo match on February 7. The Single Judge proposes awarding the three points to Oviedo (0-3), a decision that LaLiga has already announced it will immediately appeal.
Iago Aspas reigns in the hell of Thessaloniki
Historic achievement for Celta in the Europa League. The Vigo side became the first Spanish team to win at PAOK’s ground thanks to a lone goal from the eternal Iago Aspas. The result virtually secures their place in the round of 16.
Sonia Bermúdez’s first squad list of 2026
The national coach presents her first call-up of the year this morning for the matches against Ukraine and Iceland. With the notable absences of Aitana Bonmatí and Cata Coll, a shake-up is expected in the squad for these 2027 World Cup qualifying matches.
