The opening week of La Liga action came with a shock result and serious questions for Atlético Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Arsenal fans believe Real Madrid have dropped the biggest hint yet that Rodrygo will be allowed to leave this summer. After playing a bit-part role at the Club World Cup, Rodrygo’s future has been called into question once again following Los Blancos’ opening La Liga fixture of the new season.
In response, club president Florentino Perez hired Alonso and sanctioned around €180million (£155m; $210.5m) to be spent on new players, including defenders Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras and Trent Alexander-Arnold, along with exciting young Argentine playmaker Franco Mastantuono.
