Marked for Facundo Rodríguez

Match15 Feb 2027

CSKA Sofia are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 63 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Defences have started doubling up on Ioannis Pittas

21 goals and a season average of 7.21 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at CSKA Sofia

Facundo Rodríguez 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.

Transfer targets15 Feb 2027

Door shut on Adulai Embaló

CSKA Sofia asked and Virtus Entella said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match13 Feb 2027

CSKA Sofia see off Cherno More

Three points for CSKA Sofia, 1‑0 the final word against Cherno More in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Ivan Turitsov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ivan Turitsov commits to CSKA Sofia for another 4 years.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Ioannis Pittas was the difference for CSKA Sofia

Marked 7.93. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

Mohamed Brahimi is still paying for one afternoon at CSKA Sofia

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Hristo Marcelinho kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Match16 Sep 2026

A European night to remember for CSKA Sofia

0‑0 against Partizan, under lights, against people who do not speak the same language as the crowd. These are the evenings a club measures its decade in, and there are never as many of them as anybody expects.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Both of them Ioannis Pittas's — 8.75

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.75, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match19 Sep 2026

Still nobody has beaten CSKA Sofia

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at CSKA Sofia

Jean-Philippe Gbamin 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.

Match19 Sep 2026

CSKA Sofia get the job done against CSKA 1948

A 2‑1 win over CSKA 1948, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Mohamed Brahimi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Facundo Rodríguez did the work nobody counts — 7.36

9 combined actions and 7.36. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The team sheet said everything about Bruno Jordão

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Bruno Jordão.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Mohamed Brahimi

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.
