Real Madrid rediscovered their sparkle with an emphatic thrashing of Sevilla in a clash where Arda Güler took charge, as Madrid fans celebrated Kylian Mbappé’s clinical finishing and Yan Diomandé’s emergence. However, the victory was not without controversy, with Sevilla furious over the officiating.
The football roundup also features a domestic transfer market stirred by Getafe’s ambitions to sign Sergio Ramos, a struggling Arsenal’s resilience in the Premier League, and Nico Paz’s unstoppable form under Cesc Fàbregas in Italy.
Güler transforms Madrid’s midfield
Real Madrid delivered an impressive performance with a 4-1 victory over Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabéu, inspired by a stellar display from Arda Güler. José Mourinho’s side showed dramatically improved fluidity to secure a comfortable win, sealed by a brilliant Kylian Mbappé brace and another eye-catching goal from youngster Yan Diomandé, with the Turkish midfielder staking his claim as a cornerstone of Madrid’s midfield in the immediate future.
Sevilla lash out at VAR
The defeat left the Sevilla camp deeply frustrated as they departed Madrid’s home ground, with outrage spreading from the dressing room to the press room and the club’s official channels. Coach Luis García Plaza and players including Kike Salas and Juan Iglesias openly argued that Güler should have been sent off for a heavy challenge on Peque, directing their criticism squarely at the handling of VAR.
Ángel Torres dreams of Sergio Ramos
In transfer news, Getafe once again grabbed the headlines following a surprise admission from president Ángel Torres, who publicly confirmed that Sergio Ramos is on the club’s list of potential signings. Having already secured Dani Carvajal—who is ready to make his debut immediately—the Coliseum club’s board is seeking another historic, headline-grabbing coup in Spanish football by strengthening its defence with the veteran former Real Madrid centre-back.
Arsenal hold firm in the Premier League
On the international scene, a solitary 80th-minute goal from Noni Madueke spared Arsenal a costly slip-up away to Nottingham Forest. Mikel Arteta’s side produced a lacklustre performance, managing just one shot on target over the ninety minutes, but secured three precious points to remain second in the table, keeping the title race tight at just three points behind Manchester City.
Nico Paz continues to dazzle at Como
Finally, in Italy’s Serie A, Nico Paz once again stole the spotlight with a stellar performance in Como’s 3-1 victory away to Fiorentina. The gifted Argentine attacker was the standout player for Cesc Fàbregas’s side, scoring again and providing a decisive assist for Anastasios Douvikas, cementing his status as one of the league’s breakout stars and sustaining his team’s fine run in the top flight.
