Madrid (Spain), July 27 (Ians) Former Real Madrid and Sevilla midfielder Isco has signed a one-year contract with Sevilla’s bitter local rivals Real Betis. His arrival will help cover the loss of Sergio Canales after the club accepted an offer from Mexican outfit Monterrey for the creative midfielder.
Isco, who has played 38 times for Spain, moves to Betis after leaving Sevilla in January following a complete breakdown in relations with the club’s former sporting director Monchi, who has since joined Premier League club Aston Villa, reports Xinhua.
In a recent interview with the Spanish sports paper Marca, Isco revealed that tensions between the two reached such a level that Monchi physically assaulted him after a heated discussion.
“I told him that he was the biggest liar I had ever met in the world of football and he attacked me. He came towards me, he grabbed me by the neck,...

New Delhi, May 18 (Ians) The city of Seville is gearing up for the second Gran Derbi of this Laliga Santander season. After the 1-1 draw at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in the first half of the campaign, it is now the turn of the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan to host El Gran Derbi, with much more than just pride at stake.
Both teams are in an interesting position in the league table, chasing European qualification at the same time as several other storylines promise to make this a fascinating game.
Sevilla Fc will head into this match just a few days after the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Juventus at the same stadium. Two of the most important fixtures of the season will take place across a three-day span for Jose Luis Mendilibar, but Los Nervionenses are confident because the new coach has turned Sevilla Fc’s form around.

Madrid, Oct 24 (Ians) Fc Barcelona remain three points behind Real Madrid at the top of La Liga after a 4-0 win at home to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night.
One of Barca’s best performances of the season coincided with Bilbao’s worst as Barca led 3-0 at the break thanks to Ousmane Dembele’s 12th-minute header, followed by Sergi Roberto’s 18th-minute shot, which took a slight deflection to lift it over Athletic keeper Unai Simon.
Robert Lewandowski added a third in the 22nd minute and Bilbao weren’t helped by Ander Herrera limping off injured, reports Xinhua.
Herrera’s replacement Dani Garcia also had to go off injured in what was a relatively tepid second half which saw Ferran Torres score Barca’s fourth following a pass from Dembele.
Atletico Madrid moved third after a 2-1 win away to Real Betis thanks to two goals from Antoine Griezmann.

Madrid (Spain), Oct 18 (Ians) Real Madrid return to La Liga action on Wednesday following their comfortable win at home to Fc Barcelona on Sunday, when they visit bottom side Elche.
Newly-crowned Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema will lead the Madrid attack, although coach Carlo Ancelotti is likely to maintain his policy of squad rotation, with Rodrygo, Nacho Fernandez and Antonio Rudiger — who will wear a protective face mask after his injury last week — all possible starters.
Thibaut Courtois remains doubtful with a back problem, although he is expected to be back at the weekend.
Elche appointed Jorge Almiron as coach last week and he led them to a creditable 2-2 draw away to Valencia last Saturday which should have been a 3-2 win after the referee disallowed a third Elche goal to instead award them a free kick.
Wednesday also sees Valladolid at home to Celta Vigo in a...

Madrid, Sep 9 (Ians) The fifth round of matches in La Liga this weekend is a key moment for two La Liga coaches and will also be the first test of the squad depth of the teams playing in Europe.
Here are some things to look out for this weekend.
1. Cadiz coach Sergio Gonzalez’s future depends on a good display against Barca
Cadiz coach Sergio Gonzalez and Sevilla’s Julen Lopetegui are the early-season favorites in the ‘sack-race’ to see who will be the first coach to lose their job this season.
Despite leading Cadiz to safety last season, Sergio is under pressure after a start that has seen his side lose all four matches, while conceding 10 goals and not scoring any.
The fact Cadiz face Fc Barcelona doesn’t help his cause, but he needs to see an improvement in both commitment and organization.
