On Sunday, aged 39, Sevilla’s Jesús Navas brings down the curtain on Spanish football’s most glittering career A little after 9am in Montequinto, Seville, and Jesús Navas walks past the Jesús Navas Stadium and up the little slope in the sunshine, gym to the left, training pitch to the right. The first to arrive and he’s moving OK this morning, which isn’t something he can say every day, but still he comes. Soon, too soon, he won’t. “It’s my life,” he says, “what I’ve always done, who I am.” The stand bearing his name wasn’t here when he first turned up, a quarter of a century ago. Most of this wasn’t; the trophies at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, three miles north, certainly weren’t. Everything changes, except him. “I’m the same as the first day,” he says. That day, Navas was 15, a small, skinny, shy boy from Los Palacios, 15 minutes south. It was 2000 and he has been coming almost every morning since, apart from four seasons in Manchester which he enjoyed more even than you might imagine. He is still small, slight: 5ft 7in and 67kg. Still quiet, too: warm company, but not a man with any desire for the spotlight, any delusions of grandeur. Only he is the grandest footballer of all here at Sevilla Fútbol Club. Continue reading...
La Liga updates from the 8pm GMT kick-off in SpainLive scores | Tables | Fixtures | Men’s top 100 in 2024 Hello and welcome to live coverage of the weekend’s biggest fixture: Barcelona v Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou. It’s 1st v 2nd in La Liga, with Real Madrid breathing on the shoulders of both with increasing intensity. Not that anything can match the intensity of Atleti’s form: they’ve won 11 in a row in all competitions, including an incredible comeback from 3-1 down against Sevilla a fortnight ago. Barcelona have gone in the opposite direction. October’s orgy of goals has been followed by a really poor run of five points in six league games, which includes defeats at home to Las Palmas and Leganes. Maybe a game of this magnitude is what they need to get them going again. Continue reading...
After nine years in England, the striker’s international career took off back in his homeland. Now he can become the first Canarian to score for Spain on the islands Ayoze Pérez does like a nice cup of tea. One November day last season, in the hours before Real Betis played Mallorca, a friend of his had a feeling. “He said to me: ‘You’re going to score – and as the game is at teatime, you should celebrate by drinking one,’” the former Newcastle and Leicester forward explains. “I thought: ‘Well, at least it’s original.’ It’s something fun, different.” Something his too, a challenge to be met. And so there he was a little after half past five lifting a cup to his lips, the year of his life under way. The following week, in the derby against Sevilla, Pérez did it again. Then again and again. Seven more times last season and 10 this, in nine games. He did it the first time he played for Spain and the most recent time as well, in Copenhagen on Friday, success measured in tea: a symbol of a journey which brings him back to where it all began. On Monday night Spain face Switzerland at the Heliodoro in Santa Cruz. Home of CD Tenerife and his home too, the last time Pérez played there was against Córdoba in the second division in May 2014.
