Full credit to Osasuna who played like they had nothing to fear against their vaunted
opposition. Pep Guardiola resting Xavi, Iniesta, and Fabregas on the bench for the Bayer Leverkusen
CL first leg sent in Thiago Alcantara, Pedro, and Sergi Roberto. The latter breaking into the first
squad, all of four games old, completed the rejiggered midfield.
Liverpool is reportedly in talks with Real Madrid ahead of a bid to sign midfielder Esteban
Granero. The Anfield side is keen to beef up their central midfield options and have earmarked a
move for the adaptable 24 year old this month. The Merseyside club is lining up a bid in the region
of £8m for the former Spanish Under-21 international.
Liverpool left-back Jose Enrique has been an unqualified success at Anfield, and is arguably Kenny
Dalglish's most consistent signing. He learned his trade under Manuel Pellegrini at Villareal, and
Enrique has nothing but good things to say about his time at the club. In a recent interview with
LFC Magazine, Enrique spoke about two players of his former Villareal team-mates who were big

Not quite sure that to make of Malaga. After beating Racing Santander tonight they are up to
fifth place in La Liga, four points behind third place Valencia.
Maybe it is was money that they spent this summer that changed expectations, but I expected
Malaga to be closer than 11 points behind Real Madrid after only 12 games.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the man of the moment as he bagged a first half hat-trick as Real Madrid
crushed Manuel Pellegrini's expensively-assembled Malaga side 4-0. There was no mercy from Jose
Mourinho's title chasing Madrid side who blew money-bags Malaga out the sky with an emphatic 4-0
win at the Estadio La Rosaleda.

Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini is happy with his side's strong start but insists that they will
be truly measured in when they play Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Club owner Sheik Abdullah bin Nasser Al-Thani invested heavily over the summer, spending €58
million to bring in many new talents such as Ruud van Nisterooy, Santi Cazorla, Jeremy Toulalan and
Joaquin to bolster the squad.
Malaga are preparing an offer for Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina in what is being reported as an
offer too good to refuse for the Merseyside giants.
Malaga have a new rich owner who is beginning to pump serious money in to the club and Manuel
Pellegrini, the Malaga manager, has been told that he can go out and bring in almost any player he
wants and he has apparently marked the Liverpool keeper as his first choice for the position
between the posts.
22.09.2011 - El juego mejora, nivel aceptable, pero con la buena imagen no es suficiente
para ganar en Primera División y más ante el Málaga de las estrellas, con una alineación digna
de un equipo puntero de la Liga.
El Athletic cosechó ante el cuadro de Manuel Pellegrini su tercera derrota consecutiva y duerme en
puestos de descenso (1-2 con Espanyol, 2-3 con el Betis, 0-1 con Málaga).
Big spending Malaga are lining up a New Year swoop for Manchester City and Liverpool target Raul
Albiol.
The Spain international, who joined Real Madrid for £13m from Valencia in 2009, has fallen out of
favour at the Bernabeu and is yet to feature this season.
The 26-year-old is desperate to make Vicente Del Bosque's squad for next summer's European
Championship finals in Poland and Ukraine and reports in Spain have revealed he is ready to leave
the club in January to secure first-team football.
Our resident writer Rolly Pelovangu is an Arsenal fan and understandable he is starting to become
disillusioned by the Arsne Wenger regime. As a result he has put together a comprehensive lists of
those who could replace the Arsenal great at the helm. It is February 2012. Arsenal have just
suffered a painful home defeat [.

French political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville once said, "In a revolution, as in a novel, the
most difficult part to invent is the end." While the end is nowhere in sight, the road leading out
of Málaga, one of the oldest cities in the world that has been around for a whopping 2,700 years,
is buzzing with optimism and excitement.
Malaga have formally confirmed the signing of Villarreal midfielder Santi Cazorla for a reported
21 million euros.
Cazorla has signed a five-year contract, with the midfielder's release clause set at 45 million
euros by his new club.
Cazorla is the ninth signing of the summer for the ambitious club, who are coached by Cazorla's
former boss at Villarreal, Manuel Pellegrini.
Teams are returning to preseason training around Europe and there are ton of story lines. But here
are five clubs that I will be keeping on a close eye during this upcoming season.
PSG: I have highlighted them in the past, but they are the team to watch in France this year. They
are closing in on QPR's Adel Taarabt, that should be the first of many big money signings at the
capital city club.

Algo se mueve en China. Hace algunas semanas, la prensa deportiva mundial se quedaba patedefuá
cuando el Guangzhou Evergrande convirtió al argentino DarÃo Conca en uno de los cinco jugadores
mejor pagados del mundo, al aflojarle 10,6 millones de euros por temporada.
La cifra es tan mareante que poca gente tuvo el cuajo de tirar de demagogia habitual en este tipo
de operaciones.
En una temporada, el Real Madrid ha hecho una limpieza bastante grande de jugadores y, conforme va
el mercado, podrÃan ser muchos más. De los 23 que tenÃa
Manuel Pellegrini, la mitad ya
han abandonado el club, y no han pasado ni dos años.
Las operaciones salida del Real Madrid en los últimos tres veranos se han caracterizado por quitar
a jugadores fichados durante la presidencia de
Ramón Calderón.
03.07.2011 - Mientras en Buenos Aires, Daniel Passarella enfrenta enemigos polÃticos,
periodistas, hinchas enardecidos y su propio pasado,
Diego Buonanotte es presentado en
Málaga (La Rosaleda) junto a Sergio Sánchez (ex Sevilla) como 4º y 5º fichajes para Manuel
Pellegrini (DT), ante unas 8.

Estuvo a punto de regresar al Real Madrid el pasado mercado de invierno, pero al final su retorno
se truncó, sin embargo,
Ruud Van Nistelrooy verá cumplido su deseo de regresar a la Liga
española, aunque no con el conjunto blanco, sino con el Málaga, que prepara un súper equipo para
instalarse entre los grandes.

Somehow, Deep Down Inside, we all knew that it was going to end in divorce between the 2 of
them..When Florentino Perez became the President of Real Madrid for a second time, many probably felt
that here we were again, right back on the pattern of hiring and firing at least one coach per
season till the silverware came along.

Guus Hiddink is preparing his Turkey side to take on Belgium next Friday and has been speaking
about the speculation of a return to Chelsea. Now considering he has said he remains focused on
Turkey, there are just one or two small hints that he could be thinking of a return to Chelsea
after all.
News has broken this afternoon through the agent of Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini that Chelsea
have made an enquiry as to his clients availability regarding the Managerial position at
Chelsea.
Now I have to say I find it very hard to believe this one as we all know that Roman Abramovich
wants a manager who can deliver the Champions League to Stamford Bridge.
Under the management of former Real Madrid boss Manuel Pellegrini, Málaga CF finished the recently
concluded 2010/11 Spanish La Liga season in 11th place. As the club looks to improve next season,
the Málaga CF Nike 2011/12 home, away and third kits have been launched. The new Malaga strips
were presented to some 12,000 fans at [.
Que el Real Madrid estarÃa dispuesto a vender a
Kaká en caso de que reciba una buena
oferta es un hecho. El brasileño, muy lejos del jugador que fue en el AC Milan, no ha llegado a
triunfar en conjunto blanco y su nombre, aunque no a cualquier precio, está en la lista negra para
la próxima temporada.
La Liga Lowdown, Jornada 34: Thrills at the bottom as the big boys lose out is a post from: Just
Football
Barcelona lost. Real Madrid lost. When was the last time you heard that after a weekend in La
Liga? Well, let me tell you: 2009. It's been two years since they both succumbed to defeat in the
same round of games, so Saturday's events came as a bit of a shock.
Junito, I'm sad to say, was born a politician. Or a Manuel Pellegrini. But definitely not a
decisive and partisan political talk show host. Conspiracy theorists be damned, Junito is no Glenn
Beck. Why am I so sure?
Well, in the Turner household, a raging debate fumes. On the one hand, as a Mexican American, I
was raised to love Real Madrid by their association with Hugol Sanchez.
La Liga Lowdown, Jornada 28: Hope at the top as Barcelona slip up at Sevilla is a post from:

It's time for Real Madrid fans to get slightly excited again, after Sevilla put
in a great performance to hold Barcelona to a 1-1 draw at the Sánchez Pizjuán
this weekend.
La Liga Lowdown, Jornada 27: Pellegrini's decision backfires on relegation-threatened Málaga is
a post from: Just Football
Things aren't looking good for Málaga, and this week coach Manuel
Pellegrini is the villain. Well, "villain" might be slightly harsh and probably sounds
like something straight from a Marca editorial, but it hasn't been the best of weeks for
the former Real Madrid boss, let's say.

Barcelona restored their five-point advantage over Real Madrid CF thanks to a 2-1 win against
Athletic Bilbao.
Beaten in midweek by Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie,
Barcelona took only four minutes to settle back into their stride at the Camp Nou. David Villa
provided the finish, and although Athletic levelled five minutes after half-time through Andoni
Iraola's penalty, Lionel Messi made the difference with his 25th league goal this season 12 minutes
before the end.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Abdullah Al Ahmed Al Thani could have done anything with his
time, and with all of his responsibilities on his docket, president of a football club would seem
to be near the bottom of his list. Born from Qatari royalty, the Sheikh billionaire currently
sits on the Board of Directors of Doha Bank and the Qatar Equestrian Federation as well as running
a business empire including but not exclusive to hotel chains, shopping malls, and cellular phone
companies.
The Fundación Picasso, an organization whose purpose is to promote the works of Pablo Picasso,
headquarted at Picasso's birth home on the Plaza de la Merced in Málaga.
Two of the most active clubs in the January transfer window meet together this weekend in an
Andalucian derby at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán between Sevilla and Málaga.
Osasuna's Javier Camunas sent Real Madrid into a world of pain with a wonderfully placed strike
that clipped the woodwork but fortunately went in (Robin Van Persie will have something to say
about that). With this loss, Real are 7 points behind Barca and as Sid Lowe points out, the race
for the title maybe all but over.
La Liga Lowdown, Jornada 20: Málaga – new manager, new players, same old problems is a post
from: Just Football
Until recently, no one really paid too much attention to south coast side
Málaga. They're your typical ‘yo-yo' club, bouncing between the top two tiers
of Spanish football, the Primera and Segunda División.
EUPHORIA: Kaka's goal, Real's 4th, giving us a 2-goal cushion - meant that all hope was lost for
the sunken Yellow Submarine and that the 3 points were all ours..
Real Madrid 4 – Villarreal 2. What a match! There are very few matches that get people to talk up
the possibility of having an attractive and utterly competitive game and actually live up to it:
Last Night's encounter was one of those few times.
