Market

Valencia come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Racing Santander did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match

4 matches without a win for Racing Santander

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Racing Santander are no longer polite ones.

Market
