The football world is in mourning following the death of Tenerife player Jesús de Miguel. The footballer suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest following a tackle by Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono and was rushed to the hospital, where he passed away early this morning. Expressions of condolence have been quick to arrive, and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has suspended the Cup matches scheduled for this Tuesday as a sign of respect. However, beyond the dismay, many fans are wondering to what extent this action could have criminal consequences for the Andorra goalkeeper. Could he end up being tried for reckless homicide?

CD Tenerife footballer Jesús de Miguel passed away this Tuesday at the age of 30, as reported by the club. The player suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest after a tackle from the Andorra goalkeeper and was rushed to the hospital, but doctors could do nothing to save his life.

Halfway through the Champions League match between Barça and Feyenoord, a Dutch fan showing clear signs of drunkenness urinated into a cup and decided to throw it forward, into the area where Barça supporters were sitting. He only had to get it over a methacrylate fence about three meters high. The complaint, which a member who narrowly avoided being splashed made to the ARA, is not an isolated incident. Neither by a single supporter nor in a single match. For many years, Barça season ticket holders have been reporting problems of incivility that the club will try to resolve – at least partially – once the renovation work on the Camp Nou is finished.

Hansi Flick needed to revolutionize the team after two consecutive defeats. With a week of rest and facing the visit of Alavés, a much less significant rival, Barça had the opportunity to rediscover victory and regain a confidence that seemed to have been lost. In the same way that the dressing room had dazzled everyone with eleven consecutive wins –most of them by a landslide–, the stumbles against PSG and Real Madrid were a dose of humility for everyone, a way to remember that the work is not yet done and that they will have to strive until the end if they want to win silverware this year too.

Marc Márquez has once again proven that he is the best in MotoGP by far. Although the Malaysia circuit is not his favorite, the rider from Cervera has offered a new exhibition of riding and has delivered a blow to the World Championship that could be definitive. The triumph, combined with Jorge Martín's absence, means he has his eighth title in the top category within reach. So much so that, in Qatar, he will have his first match point.

With 19.1 million in revenue from ticket sales, Sunday's Barça-Madrid El Clásico became the highest-grossing match in Camp Nou history. Never before had a single match generated so much money. And it wasn't just the seats and the VIP products. We must also add the additional 1.5 million collected at the stadium shop over the weekend. The result on the pitch was not what the fans wanted, but the club was licking its wounds thinking about a business model that might be unpopular, but is clearly effective.

China is maintaining its boycott of La Liga and will continue to not broadcast Spanish football matches in retaliation for Kylian Mbappé's mockery of Mao Zedong. At least for now. The Chinese government received public apologies this Wednesday from Real Madrid, the last of those involved to do so, but has not revoked the order it issued on Monday to suspend the broadcast of La Liga matches, matches related to Mbappé, and commercials starring the footballer. A decision that could lead to losses of up to 400 million for Spanish football.

It was close to midnight. The Camp Nou stands had been empty of fans for some time. Only the media, club staff and some members of the Barça dressing room were still at the stadium. On the other hand, there was movement on the esplanade, next to the Palau Blaugrana, where a large VIP tent had recently been set up. Music, laughter and a good atmosphere. It didn't seem to matter much to them that Real Madrid had won the Clásico. Probably, very few were unconditional followers of the blue and garnet team, even though they were dressed from head to toe in jerseys, scarves and all sorts of Barça merchandise.

The Phillip Island circuit did not deserve this ending after three decades of being a reference event in the Motorcycle World Championship. But, at the same time, this ending helps to understand why the MotoGP management decided to do without an iconic track. The rain, the wind and, above all, the fog have prevented the riders from competing in any of the three races scheduled for this Sunday. And, especially, the premier class one, where Marc Márquez had the opportunity to practically seal the title.

If anyone wants to go on Sunday to see the classic and still doesn't have a ticket, they should know that they will have to pay at least 1,000 euros to get one. After the first ones sold out, Barça has put a second batch of tickets on sale in different areas of the Camp Nou. The cheapest ones, which sold out on Thursday, cost 1,109 euros in the lower part of the goal, behind the goal. But they come with an asterisk: they are of restricted visibility. A part of the pitch is covered due to the advertising hoardings.

"His level is incredible". That is how Hansi Flick spoke of Xavi Espart in Paris. Barça lost the first match of the season against Paris Saint-Germain, but the Barcelona-born full-back shone with his own light at the Parc des Princes. He left the midfield to return to the right-back position and put on an exhibition, both in defense and in attack, and he also scored his first Champions League goal. In case there was any doubt, Espart has earned a place in the first team, he will be a starter in the 'Clásico' on Sunday, and even Luis de la Fuente is already thinking about calling him up for the senior Spanish national team. "He played a fantastic match, in the first and second half," Flick continued, praising him.

It is now definitive: the 2027 Dakar will take place. After many weeks of doubts, which had jeopardized the organization of the toughest rally on the planet, a solution has finally been reached. As ARA has learned, the event will change its venue and will be held between Europe and Africa, thus moving away from Saudi Arabia.

Lamine Yamal's exhibition at the Betis stadium went around the world in no time. It is already normal for the striker from Rocafonda to leave the footballing planet amazed match after match. Barça continues to be a steamroller, counting all their matches as victories and having their franchise player in sensational form, with goals, assists, and individual actions that are only within the reach of a chosen few. A complete guarantee for a club that, after winning the ten matches played so far, faces the reigning Champions League winners, Paris Saint-Germain, on Tuesday.

In the midst of the Barça assembly of delegates, the technical secretary, Deco, had already said that a principle of agreement had been reached for Raphinha to extend his commitment with the club until 2030. A few weeks later, all the details have been closed, the contract is drafted and only needs to be signed. Since it is not just any footballer, both the club – represented by the president Joan Laporta – and the player are trying to coordinate schedules to hold a formal ceremony with all the honors. Initially, it had been thought of for this Thursday, although it had to be postponed due to a calendar issue. At the club, they insist that everything is ready and that it is only necessary to set a day and time.

Dressed in street clothes, wearing a black blazer, sunglasses, and a cap, Raphinha stepped onto the Camp Nou pitch minutes before the Barça-Getafe match to collect the award accrediting him as the best footballer in La Liga for the month of September. A more than well-deserved prize thanks to a stunning start to the season in which he has scored twelve goals and provided three assists in the league tournament, and has netted two more goals in the Champions League. He received an ovation from his teammates and the fans before sitting in the stands to watch how, without him, the blaugrana football machine remains well-oiled and had no trouble defeating the Madrid side.

Barça has returned in form from the international break and has steamrolled a Getafe side that barely made it past midfield (3-0). The team remains switched on, with an offensive mindset, and is capable of winning even when rotating or missing key injured players. Below, some hot takes.

“Sometimes things happen just the opposite of how you had planned them”. That is how Marc Márquez summarized, with a mischievous smile, the chaotic Saturday at the Indonesian MotoGP Grand Prix. The rider from Cervera finished first in the sprint race, against all odds, overcoming a bumpy event and enjoying the luck of champions. Precisely, the luck that he lacked this Sunday, in which he could only manage sixth in the long race. A bad result, a priori, if it were not for the fact that he already saw it coming and, looking at the World Championship standings, the Catalan has minimized the damage in a weekend that did not invite optimism.

The remodeling of the Spotify Camp Nou has been a masterclass for many people who are not accustomed to architectural concepts. Few works of this magnitude, not even public ones, have had such exhaustive monitoring. Joan Laporta's board has experienced them with a mixture of passion and nervousness. At the club, they are perfectly aware of the importance of having a state-of-the-art stadium that is capable of giving a boost to the entity's income. At the same time, they know that the delays and cost overruns have strained the economy to the limit with a huge debt. For this reason, some decisions have been made by prioritizing the income statement over the recommendations of some architects. At the club, which has already been using the stadium again for almost a year –at 60% capacity–, and which will probably reopen the museum next month, they are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, although the last obstacle to claim victory is still missing.

The Barça museum was key to securing funding from Goldman Sachs for the remodeling of the Camp Nou. The 'blaugrana' club had anticipated that the work would serve to multiply the revenue of a facility that in 2019 received 1.7 million visitors and was by far the most frequented in Catalonia. But the financial firm was not entirely convinced. It did not understand how it could go from 40 million in annual turnover to the 80 projected. Many reports and market studies were needed to convince the American bankers that the projections were realistic.

At the 2019 assembly of delegates, Florentino Pérez argued for the purchase of CD Tacón as "the moment to build a team capable of competing and of which you can all feel proud." As of July 1, 2020, that Madrid club became Real Madrid Club de Fútbol Femenino and began to enjoy better facilities and an increasing budget that was supposed to catapult it to the elite. The reality is that, six seasons later, the team still cannot overshadow a Barça that continues to win everything. Sunday's 7-0 at the Camp Nou, with 40,000 fans in the stands despite the weather conditions, a balance of 25 Azulgrana victories and only one for Madrid, and the 99 goals for and 12 against are the perfect proof of this.
