16 saves: Paulo Gazzaniga was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 16 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Deadline beats Girona to Nico Melamed
The clock did what Almería would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Real Madrid take the points off Girona
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

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.
In brief
- Loan watch Vladyslav Krapyvtsov has seen enough of Deportivo La Coruña
