Tempers go at Sabadell
Alberto Marí 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.

Nil Domínguez steps up from the Sabadell academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Nil Domínguez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

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 Sabadell have no good answer.

- Squad Eneko Aguilar is not doing himself any favours
