La Roja’s victory in Konya last night wasn’t a football match, but a RECITAL. Individual brilliance, brutal intensity – and a 75-second full team goal.

But just how good were Ballon d’Or contenders Lamine Yamal and Pedri? Why is Mikel Merino Spain’s not-so-secret weapon? And are Spain early favourites for the World Cup next year? Here are my thoughts… let me know YOURS in the comments!

Spain tore Bulgaria to shreds on Thursday night, so it’s now 26 (!) consecutive official games unbeaten for Luis de la Fuente’s men. But, that could be about to change tomorrow.

With a VICIOUS atmosphere in Konya, a Real Madrid starlet looking to build his name, and an old nemesis of FC Barcelona hungry for goals, Turkey v Spain has all the ingredients f…

Here’s my proposition to you, Socios: Barça have played very poorly so far this season, and it looks like it’s getting worse.

So, what’s going wrong? Are Barça playing too quickly? Are their heads really in the game? And does Hansi Flick have a problem with EGOS in his dressing room?

FC Barcelona had a bad Sunday night – but it could have been a whole lot worse…. No injuries from a SHOCKING pitch? A Yamal penalty, not checked by VAR because it WASN’T WORKING?? Hansi Flick got very lucky at Vallecas.

The same, however, can’t be said for Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid who, after a match where VAR was certainly working and put to task, had plenty to complain about.

All that, PLUS Betis’ fitness struggles, Celta’s late drama, and CONFRONTATION in Real Oviedo’s first LaLiga win in over 20 years.

You find me poolside in Monte Carlo, yet my mind is on two strips of turf on the outskirts of Madrid. Here’s why not just the Vallecas pitch, but specific parts of it, might prove a deciding factor when Barcelona come to town. Please, consider becoming a socio. Only £30 for 12 months - 58p per week.

When a manager speaks post game and starts with the words ‘We are not a team’ something isn’t right. And - usually - something is about to change.

Míchel was that manager. Girona are the club. But it could be City Group, the entity at the top of the decision-making tree in this case, who have to make the call.

This wasn’t the biggest game of Jornada 2 in La Liga, but it was the biggest bang. It’s a fascinating story, it requires detail and that’s why I’ve broken it down for you today.
