Julián Alvarez, forward for Atlético de Madrid, was absent from Wednesday’s training with the rojiblanco team due to an “indisposition,” according to the club, in the team’s return to work after last Sunday’s draw against Villarreal.
The arrest of Jonathan Andic, eldest son of Isak Andic, the owner of Mango who died in December 2024 after falling off a cliff in the Montserrat mountain, has created a lot of expectation, especially after the judge in the case charged him with an alleged homicide and released him on bail of one million euros. The judge’s order provides evidence pointing to the detainee as the author of his father’s death while they were walking in the mountains.
Faced with the flood of ongoing legal cases affecting the Government and the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez is not willing to give up, but is very determined to fight back against the political offensive of the Popular Party and the far-right Vox. The head of the Executive, thus, has requested this Thursday to appear before the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies
Jesse Bisiwu is already in England after signing his contract with Barcelona for five seasons. The club presented him with all honors as a new first team player, although he will have a reserve team registration. A future bet for which the Blaugrana entity has paid 8.5 million euros to Club Brugge. This Saturday he completed his first training session under the orders of Hansi Flick. “I will do everything he wants me to do. When he needs me, I will work hard and be ready,” he said.
In research aimed at changing the treatment of advanced prostate cancers, a new drug combination has halted disease progression in men with aggressive tumors.
Andalusia was the gateway for Vox into the institutions in 2018. Santiago Abascal’s party won 12 seats and was able to influence the Popular Party in its first contact with power in that community. It was the prelude to the far right’s breakthrough in the Congress of Deputies just a few months later. On this occasion, Spain’s most populous region puts the finishing touch on an electoral cycle designed by the PP, with an eye on the general elections – theoretically scheduled for next year – to wear down the PSOE and Pedro Sánchez’s government, from which the Populars, more dependent on Vox – a national priority – have come out worse off. They remain at the mercy of the ultranationalists; also in Andalusia, where since 2022 the firewall of Juanma Moreno Bonilla’s Andalusian path operated, who lost the absolute majority this Sunday.
The departure of Ferran Torres from Barça will not be traumatic because the Valencian never really connected either on a sporting or emotional level with the culé fans despite posting decent, at times notable, numbers during his four and a half seasons at Camp Nou. The missed chances and some goal droughts have remained more in the memory of Barcelona fans than his 65 goals in his 207 matches as a blaugrana since he joined the club in January 2022.
“Where does lobbying end and where does influence peddling begin?”. Gabriel Rufián brought to the Congress of Deputies this Wednesday one of those questions that have hovered over Spanish politics for years and that the Zapatero case has brought back to the forefront. The difficulty in delineating the boundary between legitimate influence and opaque practices. An activity that in Spain continues to operate in a wide gray area. The question, addressed to Pedro Sánchez during the control session, was not only seeking a response from the Prime Minister but also aimed to highlight one of the major regulatory gaps in the Spanish political system. Therefore, the Prime Minister chose to respond by referring to the lobbying law that Congress has been processing for months.
That carnivorous Real Madrid, which leaves no remains of its rivals even for the hyenas, appeared at times in the season’s opener at the Bernabéu against a Real Sociedad that had just won the Cup, resurrected with Matarazzo, and celebrated the world title of its captain Mikel Oyarzabal (4-1). In other contexts, Real, as Espanyol was last week, would have choked Madrid; it seems that won’t happen with Mourinho, who stirred up his lads at halftime and resolved the match clearly, lifting their fans from their seats when their best players connected and at the same time found spaces.
As is customary every August, Lyst Index has published the ranking of the most desired brands for this second four-month period, showing slight changes in consumer tastes and the appeal of each brand. Chanel maintains the leadership of this ranking, fueled by the excitement sparked by Matthieu Blazy. The launch of its Coco Beach and Métiers d’Arts 2026 collections has helped maintain interest in the French house, while searches on Lyst for Chanel sunglasses grew by more than 70 percent in the last quarter.
