A look at what Atlético might be planning for next season. a 3-4-3 with Griezmann and Álvarez either side of Sørloth and will probably be more like a 5-4-1 out of possession. x.com/atletico_stats…

This year will mark the 1st time in my professional career I won't be covering sports in some capacity full-time. But that doesn't meant I've completely given up sportswriting. Here is my debut article for Opta Analyst on the wild RB shuffle: theanalyst.com/na/2024/08/nfl…

✅ Alexander Sørloth ✅ Robin Le Normand ⌛️ Julian Álvarez ⌛️ Conor Gallagher Atlético Madrid couldn’t afford another so-so summer – so they’ve gone all in. Robbie Dunne looks at whether another title tilt is on the cards for Diego Simeone's men. theanalyst.com/eu/2024/08/atl…

Valencia have the hardest start to the season according to our Power Rankings. Leganés with a relatively soft landing after promotion from the Segunda last year.

Athletic Club down to their third choice keeper and he's out here making saves that Lev Yashin would be proud of.

Bryan Gil moved inside as Herrera moved up and Carvalho just couldn't get access to the ball. Girona left their right-hand side open and that's why Perraud finished with 53 touches (most for Betis after Llorente and Bartra).

A first look at Carrión's Las Palmas last night and they looks impressive. The press in particular made Sevilla look very average. It helps that Mata was formally educated at the School of Bordalás and Oli McBurnie is half striker, half viking. Scary.

🇮🇪 Ireland's Aarón Ochoa (17 years, 121 days) started today for Málaga against Racing Ferrol. Only nine players have started a game in the Segunda at a younger age on record (via Opta).

Nine different 🇪🇸 players aged 21 or under started in Valencia-Barça last night - the most in a game in LaLiga this century. ⚪️ Yarek, Mosquera, Guerra, Vázquez 🟡 Yamal, Bernal, Cubarsí, Balde, Casadó

𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐢-𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚: 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐚'𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐫𝐚 🇩🇪 Barça's squad is too threadbare to be this good, this soon. So, how have they done it? It's down to one man: Hansi Flick. Fütbal with an umlaut has arrived, and, as Robbie Dunne writes, it's exhilarating. ⬇️

Don’t get to watch much La Liga atm, so really enjoyed this on our nearly-man Joan Garcia by @lapausa_pod and Jamie Kemp lapausa.digital/p/the-elite-aw…

Roberto Olabe will leave Real Sociedad at the end of the season and he's been linked to a role at Arsenal as Edu's replacement. But what exactly has he done at La Real that’s made them so successful? Robbie Dunne looks at his impact at at the club.

𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 Since Deportivo La Coruña's last La Liga relegation, they've spent longer in the 3rd tier than the 2nd. They're in the Segunda this season, however, and Robbie Dunne went to see how they're planning for a genuine comeback. ⬇️

A true masterpiece from Pedri against Mallorca - 95 minutes of building/probing/recovering on repeat. The first #FCB player with 100+ completed passes, 5+ chances created (open play), and 10+ possession recoveries in a LaLiga game since Xavi in 2011 (v Getafe).

A look at Celta Vigo's summer and some things to keep an eye on heading in to next season: lapausapodcast.substack.com/p/thoughts-on-…

🔴 Out goes Óscar De Marcos, in comes Jesús Areso... 📝 With some early insight into his return to Athletic, our latest piece from Jamie Kemp looks at Areso's game and how Ernesto Valverde might look to use him in 2025-26. lapausa.digital/p/jesus-areso-…

Johnny Cardoso isn’t flashy. But without someone like him, nothing else works. Atlético’s summer rebuild is bold, but it might be Cardoso who quietly makes it all click for Simeone. ✍️ Robbie Dunne theanalyst.com/articles/johnn…

Mirandés are one of the most interesting football clubs in Spain right now. They continue to defy the odds with a transfer policy and model that relies on loan signings and picking the best young managers in Spain to lead the project. Robbie Dunne travelled to the club earlier
