Squad

Pejiño breaks a bone — 97 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 97 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Kotaro Uchino sends Eibar through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Kotaro Uchino obliged against Valencia. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Eibar.

Match

Kotaro Uchino breaks Valencia hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Kotaro Uchino scored in the 89th minute, Valencia had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Eibar took the lot.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Eibar

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Market

Jonmi Magunagoitia wants more than Eibar are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Koke 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 Eibar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Ryunosuke Sato 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.

The terraces

Eibar supporters have found a favourite in Kotaro Uchino

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kotaro Uchino 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

Sergio Camello sends Eibar past Castellón

It finished 1‑0, and it was Sergio Camello’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Eibar.

In brief
