Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Vintage Juan Bernat — 8.01

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.01, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market26 Apr 2027

Luis López asks to leave Eibar

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Eibar

Juan Bernat 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.

Match24 Apr 2027

7 unbeaten for Eibar

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Eibar did not have in the autumn.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Eibar count the cost of losing Javi Martón

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

Squad26 Apr 2027

Unai Elgezabal falls out with a teammate over standards

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.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Andrea Adorante is carrying Eibar

13 goals and a season average of 7.21. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match24 Apr 2027

Andrea Adorante the difference as Eibar beat Ceuta

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Andrea Adorante. 2‑0 against Ceuta, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

A masterclass from Jon Bautista

Marked 8.46 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad14 Dec 2026

A fracture rules Jon Bautista out for 45 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Eibar will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Nobody could get near Adu Ares

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match12 Dec 2026

10 unbeaten for Eibar

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Eibar did not have in the autumn.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Luis López says Eibar went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Eibar

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

The dugout14 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Lander Olaetxea

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Eibar

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Imanol was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market14 Dec 2026

Talks stall between Eibar and Aleix Garrido

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Miguel Gil chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad19 Oct 2026

107 days out for Jon Bautista after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Eibar will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Luis López keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Eibar may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The step up is real for Eric González

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Eibar

Javi Martínez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Adu Ares runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Eibar

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Unai Elgezabal was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match17 Oct 2026

Javi Martínez the difference as Eibar beat Valladolid

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Javi Martínez. 3‑1 against Valladolid, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Andrea Adorante in the eights

A performance of 8.86 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

One of those days for Iván Gil

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.61, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Anaitz Arbilla: 10 seasons and counting

604 appearances across 10 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Eibar know exactly what they have.

Market3 Aug 2026

Eibar turn down Molodechno for Luis López

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Eibar bid $960.0K for Eric González

The offer went to Defensores Unidos this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Eibar make their move for Alexis González

$800.0K on the table at Lanús. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Unai Elgezabal signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Unai Elgezabal commits to Eibar for another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Eibar

Jon Bautista and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Eibar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Unai Elgezabal is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Unai Elgezabal's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Andrea Adorante is in the works

Eibar have made the call to Venezia. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
