Nobody could get near Jeremía Recoba

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Málaga

David Larrubia and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Málaga

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Fernando Calero was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces7 Dec 2026

One of their own: Adrián Niño

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match5 Dec 2026

Málaga see off Cultural Leonesa

Three points for Málaga, 1‑0 the final word against Cultural Leonesa in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

The afternoon belonged to Juan Cruz

A mark of 7.90, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Dani Lorenzo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Dani Lorenzo, and the manager let it.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

Leo Navarro: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

Málaga pick somebody else ahead of Pablo Martínez

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Jeremía Recoba was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 27. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Málaga

David Larrubia was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Too much change too quickly at Málaga

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Juan Berrocal

7.37, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Málaga had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Leo Navarro was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Málaga dressing room was either.

Match28 Nov 2026

Málaga draw a blank against Burgos

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Burgos defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

A falling-out at Málaga

David Larrubia and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words at Málaga training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fernando Calero is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match17 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Málaga against Racing Santander

0‑2 to Racing Santander, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Julen Lobete signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Julen Lobete and Málaga agree another 3 years.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Leo Navarro answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of José Salinas

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad19 Oct 2026

No place for Matías Ormart in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Málaga are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Diego Murillo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
