The Oviedo Court will begin the trial this Tuesday of the married couple who They kept their three children locked up For nearly four years, they were held captive in their home on the outskirts of the Asturian capital. The parents, a 53-year-old German man and a 48-year-old woman with dual German and American citizenship, kept their children—eight-year-old twins and a ten-year-old boy—locked up between December 2021 and April 2025 due to an unfounded fear of contagion, according to the prosecution. The couple was remanded in custody last April after a neighbor reported the situation. Both face individual sentences totaling 25 years and four months in prison for habitual psychological abuse within the family and unlawful detention. The trial is now beginning, which the court has ordered to be held behind closed doors "given the seriousness of the crimes" and the "entirely unfavorable harm that could result for the victims, who are minors." A case that shocked Asturias

According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, the couple locked the children inside the house, completely isolating them from the world "and denying them contact with other people, both physically and through any means of communication," thus depriving them of their educational, health, emotional, and social needs. When the children were rescued, they were in a chalet in extremely unsanitary conditions and surrounded by feces. The children had not attended school, so the twins could neither read nor write, and they had no medical monitoring of their health. All three were in very poor condition and possibly suffering from malnutrition. When they were rescued, they were placed in the care of the Asturian government institutions and transferred to a children's center in Oviedo. The Civil Guard was in charge of the investigation.

Playing for Barça isn't easy. You're always expected to win and dazzle. You always have to win, and you can never afford to slip up. You have a bad day, like we all do, and within hours half the world is criticizing you. It's not easy defending Barça when your opponent is a Real Madrid side that, in theory, is in crisis but was top of the league on Saturday night. Madrid has always had nine lives. And that's how they put pressure on a Barça team that overcame the return of an old acquaintance, Oviedo, at the Camp Nou with a strong second half. Three goals, three points, and first place in the bag. A match that was difficult to watch at times ended with a standing ovation for Lamine Yamal, who scored one of his trademark goals, a perfectly executed strike.

Espanyol's visit to Oviedo started with a historic strike of a handful of seconds in response to the Villarreal-Barça La Liga match to be played in Miami. A "symbolic protest" initiated by the First Division captains and supported by the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) was not broadcast on television. The association censored it: for almost half a minute, the match broadcast showed aerial images of Carlos Tartiere, not the game.

The week a young 18-year-old like Lamine was on the verge of winning the Ballon d'Or, two veterans were at it at the Carlos Tartiere stadium. Barça broke the resistance of a strong Oviedo side, where Cazorla, 40, was shining, thanks to a beautiful header from 36-year-old Robert Lewandowski. The veteran Polish striker, a substitute behind Ferran, dominates the game inside the box like few others. He feels good, surrounded by defenders who catch and chase him. It seems that when he's a grandfather and uses a walking stick, he'll still know how to finish crosses from the outside. His header is one youngsters should learn from, with a precise flight and a round turn of the head.
