The Las Palmas Herald
Match25 May 2030
Las Palmas run riot against Real Madrid Castilla
3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Fer Niño scores twice — 8.83
Two goals and a mark of 8.83 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Nicolás Goitea has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Las Palmas they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The afternoon ran through Jaime Cabrera
Chances created: 20. Nothing on the scoresheet and everything in the match: the pass before the pass, over and over, until the defence stopped guessing right.
Loan watch27 May 2030
19 clean sheets on loan for Diego Conde
38 appearances at Alavés and the goals have stopped going in. Las Palmas lent out a goalkeeper and are watching somebody else’s season get better every week.

Fer Niño is in the form of his life
A season average of 7.22 with 18 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Tempers go at Las Palmas
Cristian Gutiérrez 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.

A row about effort at Las Palmas
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nicholas Opoku was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The terraces27 May 2030
The crowd has taken to Thiago Juritsch
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
