The player can play in various midfield and attacking positions with an excellent technical ability and is also extremely quick.

Namely two of the most talented and most talked about youngsters on the continent... AC Milan and Italy's Gianluigi Donnarumma and Real Madrid and Spain's Marco Asensio. The clash is played tonight at 20:00bst. BARCELONA MUNDO DEPORTIVO's front page surrounds the Bellerín to Barcelona issue and the assumption by the headline that FC Barcelona will give themselves 10 days to try and convince Arsenal FC on an offer for the Spanish right-back. If this is not possible, then the club will move onto another alternative. Up top references to tonight's U21 Euros Semi-Final between Spain and Italy.

SirBalon Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 WEDNESDAY 28th JUNE 2017 MADRID MARCA'a headline this morning says: "Saúl takes us to the final". The front page is dedicated to Spain's 3-1 victory against Italy in the U21 Euro Championships semi-final. Atlético Madrid's Saúl scored the hat-trick. Also on the right-hand aside Theo Hernández' imminent move from Atlético Madrid to Real Madrid is slot completed and a quote by him saying that his dream as a kid was to one day play for Real Madrid. BARCELONA MUNDO DEPORTIVO also dedicate their front page to the U21 Spain side getting to the final after a 3-1 victory agains Italy's U21 with a hat-trick from Saúl Ñíguez. Up top we see a debate that is contained inside about what each senior Mundo Deportivo journalist thinks on the Héctor Ballerín issue for Barça and the difficulties that are contained in getting him from Arsenal. At the bottom a strong quote from Chile's Arturo Vidal on Cristiano Ronaldo where he calls him "Conceited". MADRID AS perform a miracle on their front page which is dedicated to Spain's U21 side getting to the final of the UEFA European Championship against Italy by 3-1. Even though Saúl was the protagonist (something all of Spain's national sports newspapers managed), AS managed to obtain a picture with Saúl and of course their picture boy over the past few days, Real Madrid's Asensio. Aside from that, we also have a mention at the bottom on the Confederations Cup semi-final between Portugal and Chile where once again AS manage to take a swipe where its not needed by saying that Portugal face Messi's dark beast, Chile. BARCELONA SPORT almost forget Spain's U21 feat in getting to the final of the U21 European Championships and seemed to have remembered in the last minute before going out to print by sticking it in the bottom left corner of the front page. Instead SPORT go with a speculative front page and headline by stating that Barcelona won't go beyond the 4th of July (they love all their independence connotations don't they) in their attempt to sign Italy and PSG star Marco Verratti. Also reports that the Manchester City group along with Pep Guardiola's brother, Pere, will attempt to purchase newly promoted La Liga club Girona. VALENCIA Regional Valencia sports newspaper SUPER DEPORTE almost done the same as SPORT by forgetting what Spain's U21 side done yesterday in their 3-1 victory against Italy's U21 side... Although the logistics department at Super Deporte seem to have managed a salvation act by not relegating it to a bottom corner and actually placing it on a top corner. Instead they focus the main proportion of their front page on some nonsense about Valencia's 'B' side gong to France on some sort of... Forget it, won't go into this manginess stuff. NATIONAL | SPAIN National sports newspaper SPORT YOU also focus their entire front page to Spain's U21 victory against Italy's U21 side in the European Championships Semi-FInal by 3-1. Saúl makes the front page after scoring a hat-trick.

SirBalon Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 SATURDAY 5th AUGUST 2017 MADRID Not much happening in Madrid, so MARCA this morning have decided to go with a front page on what's happening in Paris, France with yesterday's presentation of Neymar for Paris Saint-Germain. My favourite bit is the amount of security involved... Comparing that to what Donald Trump gets these days you'd think someone in the US wants rid of Mr Orange. BARCELONA MUNDO DEPORTIVO have decided to go with what looks like being the three star signings this summer for FC Barcelona. Coutinho, Dembélé and Iñigo Martínez. According to Mundo Deportivo, those are the three that will be arriving. Up top the sports newspaper have decided to go with one of Neymar's quotes yesterday on his presentation for PSG... "The best players in the world are here". MADRID AS go with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to training with Real Madrid. They also take a quote from something the player said in his court appearance for tax fraud which could get him 15 years in prison... "I've never had a problem in England and that's why I'd like to go back". Interesting because his tax problems have nothing to do with his wages at Real Madrid and actually have everything to do with his own publicity work he does. Also up top references to Neymar moving to PSG and how 6 out of the 12 nominees for UEFA awards are all Real Madrid players. BARCELONA SPORT also go with the three players it seems could join Barça this summer, Dembélé, Iñigo Martínez and Coutinho. VALENCIA Regional Valencian sports daily SUPER DEPORTE deliver their front page on the news Valencia right-back Cncelo has asked to leave the club. More bad news for Valencia CF who don't seem to be able to get anything right since the arrival of Peter Lim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 MONDAY 7th AUGUST 2017 MADRID The main portion of MARCA's front page is dedicated to Real Madrid's upcoming game against Manchester United in the European Super Cup. The headline states that Mourinho wants revenge for some reason. Revenge for what is my question? Also up top in MotoGP we had three Spanish winners in the three motorcycling categories (Moto1, Moto2 and MotoGP) which were dedicated to the death of one of the greatest motorcylist riders of all time, Ángel Nieto. BARCELONA MUNDO DEPORTIVO offer a front page with four big moments this week for Barça. - Messi to sign his new contract - Chapecoense playing in the Joan Gamper - The possibility of Coutinho and Iñigo Martínez signing - The Supercopa de España against Real Madrid MADRID AS use this morning's front page in memory of Ángel Nieto with all three Spanish riders that won in yesterday's motorcycling GP's in the Czech Republic. Also references to the Joan Gamper at the bottom where Barça will be playing Chapecoense. Up top there's a focus on the Community Shield in England that was won by Arsenal and where Álvaro Morata missed in the penalty shoot-out. BARCELONA SPORT's front page is dedicated to the possible signing of Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool to Barcelona...

VALENCIA Regional Valencia sports newspaper SUPER DEPORTE dedicate their front page to the possibility that VCF could be on the verge of signing Jeison Murillo and to keep an eye open on the possibility of Kondogbia arriving also.

SirBalon Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 THURSDAY 17th AUGUST 2017 MADRID MARCA's headline says "The Summer Dance" in reference to Real Madrid winning the Supercopa de España. The score was 1-3 in the Camp Nou with a better performance from Real, it was 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu. BARCELONA MUNDO DEPORTIVO put a lighter criticism on their front page although inside they hit the board at FCB really hard. The headline on the front page simply says that Barça haven't managed to start their engines yet. There's a lot more problems than a twitchy starter motor here in my opinion. Also at the bottom we see references to Cristiano Ronaldo publicly stating (via one of his social media accounts) that he feels like he's being persecuted. He said the same thing about his tax evasion court case a couple of weeks ago. He seems to think there should be different rules for him. MADRID AS produce one of their poster special front pages which open up into an A4 size poster for collectors. Now... This type of front page is usually reserved for very special moments like when the World Cup was won, the European Championships or a Champions League... This infact, in my opinion, is the showing of why Barça are bigger! This in my view is the proof that there's still catch-up or that at least the psychosis of being dominated has affected judgment. Anyhow... AS bring out a poster special for the Supercopa de España with the headline that reads... "Shower and Title". BARCELONA SPORT is more to the point and accurate in it's one worded front page headline... It is infact the best way to describe what has occurred to FCB overtime and here is the medical analysis... "SOULESS". There is no identity or soul in this side, it's been finally stripped! Also at the bottom references to the arrival of Paulinho to Barcelona and the signing of Coutinho from Liverpool just hours away. VALENCIA Regional Valencian sports daily SUPER DEPORTE deliver their front page on more speculation surrounding possible signings for Valencia CF. Today's rumour is that Arsenal's Brazilian centre-back, Gabriel could be about to sign for the club from the Levante region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
