Words exchanged at Huesca
Óscar Sielva 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.

Rodrigo Díaz 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.

Efe Aghama beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Roberto Prieto was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Huesca dressing room was either.

Huesca pick somebody else ahead of Marcos Minetti
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.

No place for Juan Pablo Villafañe in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Huesca are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Experience through the door at Huesca
Juan Pablo Villafañe arrives at 34 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
Match17 Oct 2026
No goals between Huesca and Deportivo La Coruña
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Deportivo La Coruña will be the happier side with the point.
Looking ahead19 Oct 2026
Salva Ruiz faces his old club
Castellón next, and one man in the Huesca dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
