Match

A hiding for Almería

Beaten 1‑5 by Real Madrid, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

Marc Bernal: 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.” Almería have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Andrés Fernández

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Marc Bernal 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 Almería this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Inquest at Almería

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Patrick Soko

“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.

Match

Almería refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 75 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Arnau Puigmal

10 goals and a season average of 7.80 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad

Tempers go at Almería

Dion Lopy 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sergio Arribas

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Almería come up short against Cádiz

Cádiz left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ibrahima Koné

“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.

Squad

Costly mistake from Fernando

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Fernando knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Loan watch

Selvi keeps scoring at Mirandés

34 appearances away from home and 7 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Market

The Dion Lopy talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Almería know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
