LALIGA star quits Spanish national team over Rubiales' Hermoso scandal
Spain national team suffers a casualty over the Luis Rubiales Jennifer Hermoso kiss scandal.
LALIGA fans and followers have several interesting fixtures to look out for, including the return of leaders Real Madrid to the Bernabéu and the duel between Girona FC and UD Las Palmas, two of the most attack-minded sides in the competition so far.
TGIF football
The first of this round’s fixtures is the battle of Los Amarillos, as Cádiz CF host Villarreal CF on Friday evening.
Villarreal CF will be looking to bounce back after they lost a seven-goal thriller against FC Barcelona last weekend, falling 4-3 but impressing in attack as Juan Foyth, Alexander Sørloth and Álex Baena all got on the scoresheet.
Later on Friday, there is another game in Andalusia as UD Almería take on RC Celta. These are two sides still searching for their first win of the new season, so both teams will be giving their all at the Power Horse Stadium.

Real Saturday
There are four fixtures on Saturday, the first of which is Real Sociedad vs Granada CF. La Real had such a good season last term, as they finished inside the top four, but it has been a so-so start to 2023/24 as the Basque outfit has drawn each of their opening matches.
As such, they’ll be determined to take all three points when last year’s LALIGA HYPERMOTION champions come to town.
Later in the evening, Real Madrid play their first home match of the new season as they take on Getafe CF at the Bernabéu.

Lamine Yamal: 7 things to know about Barcelona's 15-year-old wonder kid
Lamine Yamal recently made the headlines after becoming Barcelona's youngest ever LaLiga player, and here's all you need to know about him.
This will be the chance for the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Jude Bellingham and Joselu to make their home debuts for Los Blancos, who have won every game so far, so it should be a special occasion in the capital.
Deportivo Alavés vs Valencia CF is the next fixture and, considering the Basque side’s only home fixture so far was a 4-3 victory, against Sevilla FC, all eyes will be on the action at Mendizorroza to see if the goals fly in once more.
Saturday’s action then concludes with Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio Benito Villamarín. These two teams have played out some thrillers in recent seasons, with both teams finding the back of the net the last eight occasions they’ve met.
The goalkeepers Rui Silva and Stole Dimitrievski could both be kept busy once more.

Las Palmas vs Real Sociedad: Umar Sadiq's La Real drop more points against Pio Pio
It was another cameo for Super Eagles forward Umar Sadiq as he continued his comeback for Real Sociedad against Las Palmas.
Four more games follow on Sunday and the first is a very intriguing duel between Girona FC and UD Las Palmas, two teams who are approaching their matches with bold and attacking styles.
They’re currently the two teams, alongside Barcelona and Real Madrid, to boast the most possession in LALIGA EA SPORTS, so it’ll be interesting to see who wins the possession battle at the Estadi Montilivi and who comes out on top.
The action moves to the Balearic Islands, where RCD Mallorca welcome Athletic Club and former player Íñigo Ruiz de Galarreta.
After losing to Real Madrid on the opening weekend, Athletic Club have bounced back brilliantly by winning their subsequent two fixtures and they’ll hope to make it three in a row, although they’ll know that they’ve failed to win on their past three visits to the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.

Fans angry as Ancelotti invests in Bellingham stock to rule out signing replacement for Vinicius
Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti has angered Real Madrid fans with his latest comments on Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema.
Following that, there is a big game in the capital as Atlético de Madrid take on a Sevilla FC side who find themselves bottom of LALIGA EA SPORTS after losing all three of their fixtures so far.
Atleti fans will be relishing this fixture considering they just scored seven goals last matchday and considering they thrashed Sevilla FC 6-1 when these sides met at the Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano at the end of last season, but Los Nervionenses are often at their most dangerous when their backs are against the wall.
20:42 - 19.08.2023
Almeria vs Real Madrid: Bellingham inspires Los Blancos to comeback victory
Jude Bellingham scored a brace and registered an assist to help Real Madrid defeat Almeria.
El Sadar hosts the last of the Matchday 4 fixture, a late kick off on Sunday night, with CA Osasuna taking on Barcelona.
This was a decisive fixture for Barça on their way to last season’s championship, as they came from a goal down to win 2-1 with just 10 men, thanks to goals from Pedri and Raphinha, so they’ll hope for a similar morale-boosting victory under the floodlights this Sunday night.
