Alejandro Catena 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 Osasuna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A muscle injury sidelines Jon Moncayola for 14 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Osasuna will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Raúl Moro takes the honours
Marked 7.07 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Osasuna had the best player on the pitch.

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Sevilla came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Jonatan Lucca placed on the list

Everybody has an opinion about Jonatan Lucca
He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.
In brief

- Player ratings Nobody could get near Aimar
