Squad28 Sep 2026

Matteo Prati is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Racing Santander

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Racing Santander count the cost of losing Ignacio Marín

45 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Too much change too quickly at Racing Santander

20 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Íñigo Vicente

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match26 Sep 2026

Racing Santander share the spoils with Castellón

A 1‑1 draw with Castellón leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Leo García was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Racing Santander dressing room was either.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The plan did not have a place for Asier Villalibre

Nobody at Racing Santander 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.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Andrés Martín has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Andrés Martín has written the date down.

Market10 Aug 2026

Aarón wants more than Racing Santander 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.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Racing Santander go back to the board over Ezequiel Ávila

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $225.0K — a club that wants Ezequiel Ávila enough to be asked twice.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Racing Santander

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Andrés Martín signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andrés Martín and Racing Santander agree another 4 years.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Door shut on Mario De Luis

Racing Santander asked and Atlético Madrid said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Racing Santander promote Santiago Gallardo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Santiago Gallardo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Ignacio Marín joins the Racing Santander first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ignacio Marín is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Racing Santander promote Gonzalo Gallardo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gonzalo Gallardo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Pablo Ramón 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.
