Arda Guler returns to training
21.5.26 Real Madrid: Injuries
Real Madrid resumed training after a short break, with Arda Guler joining the group for part of the session following nearly a month out with a hamstring injury. While he is unlikely to feature in the season finale against Athletic Club, his recovery is progressing ahead of the World Cup. Lunin trained normally after illness, while Tchouameni, Vinicius, Carvajal, and Alexander-Arnold worked indoors. Carvajal is expected to start in his farewell match, while Militao, Mendy, and Rodrygo continue long-term recoveries.
Fermin Lopez sidelined after surgery
20.5.26 Barcelona: Injuries
Barcelona confirmed that midfielder Fermin Lopez underwent surgery for a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, sustained against Real Betis. The operation, performed at Hospital de Barcelona under club medical supervision, is expected to keep him out for around three months. While the club hopes he will return for the start of next season, Lopez's injury rules him out of Spain's World Cup squad. Barcelona now face the challenge of managing his recovery carefully to avoid further complications.
Vinicius calms injury fears
18.5.26 Real Madrid: Injuries
Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. reassured fans after sparking concern when he was seen limping heavily following his match-winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Sevilla. The 25-year-old, substituted late in the game, was asked about his condition and responded simply: "I'm fine." His statement eased worries for both Real Madrid and Brazil supporters ahead of upcoming fixtures.
Real Madrid reach agreement with Mourinho
16.5.26 Real Madrid: Injuries
Real Madrid have reportedly agreed terms with Jose Mourinho to become their next manager. Mourinho, who previously led Madrid from 2010 to 2013 and won La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, is currently under contract with Benfica but can leave if a €3 million clause is triggered. Mourinho will be tasked with uniting the dressing room, maximizing stars like Mbappe, Vinicius, and Bellingham, and guiding the development of young talents.
Casillas opposes Mourinho return to Real Madrid
13.5.26 Real Madrid
Iker Casillas has spoken out against reports linking Jose Mourinho with a return to Real Madrid as head coach after the 2025/26 season. While acknowledging Mourinho's professionalism, the former Madrid captain said he believes other coaches would be better suited for the club. Mourinho, who managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013 and won a La Liga title and Copa del Rey, has recently been linked with a comeback amid concerns about discipline and team chemistry within the squad.
Real Madrid fine Tchouameni and Valverde
9.5.26 Real Madrid
Real Madrid fined Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde €500,000 each following a training ground altercation that left Valverde needing hospital treatment for a head cut. Both players appeared before a disciplinary investigator, expressed regret, and apologized to each other, the club, teammates, staff, and fans. Reports suggest the clash stemmed from tension in training earlier in the week, adding to signs of unrest in the dressing room ahead of Sunday's El Clasico against Barcelona.

League format : Spain : Primera Liga 2025/2026
The Primera Division (La Liga) is the top level of Spanish professional football. There are a total of 20 teams and each team plays a season 38-game schedule made up of two matches against each of the other 19 teams, home and away. As in all European football leagues, there are three points for a win, one for a tie and no points for loss.
If teams are level on points, the aggregate score between those two clubs determines the ranking before the general goal difference. If three or more teams are equal, then the combined head-to-head records of just the tied teams will be used to determine the final order of those clubs.
The top four clubs qualify for the Champions League. The 18th, 19th or 20th placed teams in the Primera Division are relegated automatically, while the top three of the Spanish Second Division are promoted. Reserve teams of the Primera clubs (called team B) may also play in the Second Division, but could not be promoted to the Spanish top flight.
