The dugout13 Sep 2027

Marcel Sgró: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” CE Europa have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Words exchanged at CE Europa

Dani González 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.

Squad13 Sep 2027

A row about effort at CE Europa

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

Transfer targets13 Sep 2027

The window shuts on the José Ortega deal

CE Europa ran out of time with Sabadell. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Player ratings13 Sep 2027

The game went through Leandro Chaparro — 6.81

Marked 6.81 on 10 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Match11 Sep 2027

Atlético Madrileño snatch it back from CE Europa

A goal on 87 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Player ratings13 Sep 2027

Julián Mahicas takes the honours

Marked 7.88 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, CE Europa had the best player on the pitch.

Match11 Sep 2027

Julián Mahicas rescues a point for CE Europa

It needed Julián Mahicas to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Atlético Madrileño, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

Half-satisfied: Aimar Peña on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Dani González in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at CE Europa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market2 Aug 2027

Algeciras watching Toni Caravaca

The interest is real enough to have reached print. CE Europa have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Carlos González stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Carlos González and CE Europa agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout2 Aug 2027

Víctor Antúnez gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Words at CE Europa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ibuki Nemoto 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.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

CE Europa ask about Manu Fernández

A loan enquiry to Cádiz: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

The numbers do not look good at CE Europa

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Market2 Aug 2027

Talks stall between CE Europa and Víctor Antúnez

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market2 Aug 2027

Nobody at CE Europa has picked up the phone to Alejandro Jay

37 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Door shut on Nico Serrano

CE Europa asked and Athletic Bilbao said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match12 Sep 2026

Dani González the difference as CE Europa beat Atlético Madrileño

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Dani González. 1‑0 against Atlético Madrileño, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Dani González takes the honours

Marked 7.80 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, CE Europa had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

A satisfied Aimar Peña

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Aimar Peña could afford to be generous.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Adnane Ghailan falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Luciano Cingolani

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Dani González finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. CE Europa have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Guillem

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

Looking ahead14 Sep 2026

Alejandro Jay goes back to face Tarazona

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Alejandro Jay’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and CE Europa needing him to play as if none of it matters.
