Madrid, Aug 14 (Ians) Fc Barcelona were held to a goalless draw by Getafe in their La Liga debut on Sunday evening.
Both sides finished with 10 players, after Raphinha’s dismissal for elbowing Getafe defender Gaston Alvarez in the first half, while Getafe’s Jaime Mata received a red card after the interval, reports Xinhua.
Barca’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, was also shown the red card due to his apparent discontent with Getafe’s fouling and time-wasting tactics. This frustration was evident as the referee added a whopping 10 minutes of added time in the first half and over 15 in the second. That period culminated with Var dismissing what seemed a valid Barcelona penalty appeal.
Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, thanks to first-half goals from Rodrygo and debutant Jude Bellingham. Rodrygo utilized open space to score in the 28th minute, followed by Bellingham’s goal from a corner,...

Madrid, Aug 13 (Ians) Real Madrid began their season with a 2-0 win away to Athletic Bilbao but lost defender Eder Militao to what looks like a serious knee injury, just two days after Thibaut Courtois was ruled out for the season with a torn cruciate knee ligament.
Andriy Lunin was in goal for Courtois but had little work to do in a tight first half, which tilted Madrid’s way after first Rodrygo and then Jude Bellingham took advantage of some poor defending from the home side, reports Xinhua.
Rodrygo was given space to fire Madrid ahead in the 27th minute and nine minutes later Bellingham was able to celebrate his league debut with a goal after he was left unmarked at a corner.
The midfielder mishit his shot but had the fortune to see it bounce up and over Athletic keeper Unai Simon.

Madrid (Spain), Aug 10 (Ians) The upcoming La Liga season commences this weekend amidst a Spanish heatwave, prompting some matches to be rescheduled to 10 p.m. local time to mitigate the heat’s effects.
There are two games on Friday — Almeria hosting Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla squaring off against Valencia –but one of them was rescheduled due to extreme heat.
Victor Moreno makes his coaching debut for Almeria, which recently sold striker El Bilal Toure. On the other hand, Francisco Rodriguez faces the challenge of filling Andoni Iraola’s shoes in the Rayo dugout, helming a squad seemingly less potent than last season’s, reports Xinhua.
Reigning Europa League champions, Sevilla, face off against a Valencia side that has witnessed pivotal departures without notable replacements. This transition has prompted coach Ruben Baraja to lean on Valencia’s youth, evident from the squad’s average age of 22.8 years.

Madrid (Spain), March 20 (Ians) Struggling La Liga side Elche announced on Monday that they have fired Pablo Machin as first-team coach in the wake of their 2-0 defeat to Real Sociedad that leaves them on the verge of relegation.
Machin leaves his job after 12 games in charge which saw two wins, three draws and seven defeats, although the nine points the club earned over that period was a vast improvement on the four points that came from their first 14 matches of the season, reports Xinhua.
“Elche Club de Futbol announces that Pablo Machin will not continue as coach of the first team. The Club wants to thank the coach for his work and commitment during his time as a green-and-green player.”
“Elche Club de Futbol wants to wish Machin and his coaching staff all the good luck both on a personal level and in his professional career,” explained a brief statement on the club website.

Madrid (Spain), Nov 7 (Ians) La Liga struggler Elche are looking for their third coach of the season after parting company with Jorge Almiron who was in charge for less than a month.
Almiron replaced Francisco Rodriguez in mid-October but has not been able to find any reaction from the club, which remains rock-bottom of La Liga, Spain’s top football league, with just four points from 13 games.
Their latest 2-1 loss to Valladolid means Almiron’s five games in charge resulted in two draws and three defeats, leaving Elche seven points behind second from bottom, Cadiz, reports Xinhua.
Ironically, Valladolid’s coach Pacheta had been sacked by Elche after leading them to promotion from the second division three years ago.
“Elche Cf communicates that Jorge Almiron has decided to step aside as first-team coach. The club is sincerely grateful for his work in this second stage in which he assumed...

Madrid, Oct 14 (Ians) The ‘Clasico’ between Real Madrid and Fc Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday night is the big game of Matchday 9 in La Liga, but there are other things to keep an eye out for as well this weekend in Spain.
1. Real Madrid to twist the knife against Barca?
It has not been a good week for Barcelona after the wildly entertaining but ultimately disastrous 3-3 draw at home to Inter Milan left them needing a miracle to avoid an early exit from the Champions League for the second year running.
Real Madrid look well-placed to rub salt into the wounds, given that Carlo Ancelotti’s men are already assured of their place in the last 16 of the competition, and apart from questions over Thibaut Courtois, they will have everyone available, reports Xinhua.
Morale is high at Real Madrid, while Barcelona travel with their pride badly hurt...

Madrid, Sep 29 (Ians) La Liga returns this weekend after the international break to start an intense period with no let up for the big clubs until the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in November.
On Friday night, fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao entertain Almeria looking to continue their excellent start to the campaign. The Williams brothers, Inaki and Nico, will no doubt be the centre of attention in the San Mames Stadium after making their respective international debuts with Ghana and Spain last week.
Cadiz’s smash and grab raid in Valladolid before the international break lifted some pressure off Sergio Gonzalez, but his side has a tough task when they get the ball rolling on Saturday at home to Villarreal, who are still without Spain international striker Gerard Moreno, reports Xinhua.

Madrid (Spain), Sep 16 (Ians) The sixth round of games in La Liga comes just before the first international break of the season and sees the Madrid derby as well as three coaches in danger of losing their jobs.
Here are some things to look out for this weekend in Spain:
1. Will Diego Simeone gets his way with Antoine Griezmann in Madrid derby
Atletico Madrid’s agreement with Fc Barcelona for the loan of Griezmann means that if the striker plays 45 minutes or more in 14 games this campaign, Atletico will have to pay 40 million euros. Obviously, the club wants to avoid doing that is attempting to re-negotiate — something cash-strapped Barca doesn’t want to do.
The solution to the problem so far this season has been for Griezmann to come on as a second-half substitute with around 30 minutes left to play, but coach Simeone looks to be losing his patience with...

Madrid (Spain), Sep 15 (Ians) The last round of matches in La Liga before the international break is starting to look vital for three top-flight coaches, while the Madrid Derby is the highlight of the weekend.
Real Madrid visit Atletico Madrid with a 100 percent record in both La Liga and the Champions League after their hard-fought victory against Rb Leipzig on Wednesday.
The big questions ahead of the match are whether Karim Benzema will have recovered from the muscle injury which saw him sit out the Leipzig game and last weekend’s win at home to Mallorca, while Atletico fans are wondering if it is time to change the policy towards Antoine Griezmann.
Atletico’s loan agreement with Barcelona for the French striker means they have to pay 40 million euros at the end of the season if Griezmann plays more than 45 minutes in a certain percentage of matches.

Before the prolonged agony of his multimillion dollar defamation trial with ex Amber Heard, Johnny Depp had some fun doing what he does best: creating a delightfully eccentric character.
The project was a trailer for a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game called Sea Of Dawn from Changyou, the Chinese company behind the hit free-to-play Mmorpg Dragon Oath which, it says has registered 300 million users since it debuted in 2007.
Sea of Dawn is set during the post-medieval age of European exploration. Players can sail the high seas in warships or as pirates.
Depp’s character is a fez-wearing former adventurer with an Irish accent named Phillip who is now blind and mostly confined to his home, which is littered with trinkets from his travels.
The conceit of the clip is that a bill collector (played by Francisco Rodriguez) has come a-calling and, instead of barring the door, Phillip invites him...
