Arsenal

Arsenal’s title dream is all but over - does this surprise stat show what cost them?

Aston Villa

Mateu Alemany: “Aston Villa? This is not the time to talk about my business. I have a commitment to the president to complete all the operations that are pending for Barcelona and then we’ll see.”

Douglas Luiz: “The atmosphere is crazy. I’m so happy to be here and play in Villa Park, it’s a dream really. We believe in Unai Emery and we’re so happy with him. We want to play in the Europa League. We are training hard every day for this objective.”

Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid are advancing in negotiations to sign Uruguayan 2002-born centre back Santiago Mourino on a permanent deal from Racing Montevideo. Talks are now at a key stage and progressing well.

Barcelona

Barcelona are La Liga champions for the 27th time in their history, and it’s a first title victory for Xavi as manager after beating Espanyol 4-2 last night. Last summer’s aggressive approach in the transfer market has paid off, with Robert Lewandowski scoring 21 league goals, while Jules Kounde has also had a superb season. Despite criticism, Raphinha has also contributed 7 goals and 7 assists in La Liga to help bring the title back to the Nou Camp for the first time since 2019.
