Up for the corner, and Nathan-Dylan Saliba delivers — 7.98

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Nathan-Dylan Saliba scored, was marked 7.98, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Villarreal B

Nathan-Dylan Saliba and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Carlos Macià is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

The terraces19 Oct 2026

The crowd has taken to Nathan-Dylan Saliba

At 22 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 ratings19 Oct 2026

Arnau Forés was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match17 Oct 2026

Nathan-Dylan Saliba rescues a point for Villarreal B

It needed Nathan-Dylan Saliba to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Betis Deportivo, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Villarreal B

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

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Raúl Fuentes: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The plan did not have a place for Lautaro Spatz

Nobody at Villarreal B is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

No sign of nerves from Joselillo at 19 — 7.98

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Joselillo did not need any: 7.98, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Álex Quevedo keeps Villarreal B in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Nathan-Dylan Saliba goes up and wins it — 7.95

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.95 for the rest of it.

Match19 Sep 2026

Joselillo the difference as Villarreal B beat Juventud Torremolinos

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

The terraces21 Sep 2026

Villarreal B's travelling support get something back at Juventud Torremolinos

They paid twice — for the ticket and for the journey — and got a 2-0 win for it. Away support is the truest kind precisely because nothing about it is convenient.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Arnau Forés 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 dugout21 Sep 2026

A satisfied Raúl Fuentes

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Villarreal B

Nathan-Dylan Saliba 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Iker Punzano 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Lautaro Spatz is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Lautaro Spatz has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Market31 Aug 2026

Carlos Macià asks to leave Villarreal B

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market31 Aug 2026

Jean Ives Valou attracts admirers

The name of Jean Ives Valou has come up in conversations Villarreal B were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Alassane Diatta signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alassane Diatta commits to Villarreal B for another 5 years.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Villarreal B

Eneko Ortiz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Jean Ives Valou left out for tactical reasons at Villarreal B

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Hugo López wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Villarreal B have no good answer.
