Match

No mercy from Real Madrid Castilla

Pontevedra will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Real Madrid Castilla were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

Both of them César Palacios's — 8.41

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.41, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Real Madrid Castilla make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Real Madrid Castilla have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Real improvement from Pol Fortuny at Real Madrid Castilla

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Pol Fortuny is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at Real Madrid Castilla

Bruno Iglesias 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.

Squad

Cristian David stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Cristian David and Real Madrid Castilla agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Bruno Iglesias

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Jeremy de León was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.41. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

A row about effort at Real Madrid Castilla

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

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from César Palacios at 21 — 7.86

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. César Palacios did not need any: 7.86, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Bruno Iglesias beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 27. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The terraces

Real Madrid Castilla supporters have found a favourite in David Jiménez

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. David Jiménez has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

César Palacios the difference as Real Madrid Castilla beat Arenas Club

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: César Palacios. 2‑0 against Arenas Club, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Words at Real Madrid Castilla training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Loren Zúñiga 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for David Jiménez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

A satisfied Marc Garrido

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Marc Garrido could afford to be generous.

Market

Fran González linked with a move away

The name of Fran González keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Real Madrid Castilla say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Pol Fortuny does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

In brief
