Sergio Reguilon says Gareth Bale very happy at Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur left-back Sergio Reguilon has told Cadena SER that Gareth Bale is very happy at the club.

The winger, who was criticised a lot by the Spanish media, returned to Spurs on a loan deal from Madrid in the summer of 2020. Reguilon also moved to Tottenham from Madrid, signing a five-year contract with the Premier League club after spendi...

Barcelona’s domestic woes continue with Alaves 1-1 draw
Antoine Griezmann helped to salvage a point for Barcelona as their struggles in La Liga continued with another disappointing result; a 1-1 away draw against 10-man Deportivo Alaves on Saturday. The visitors, who had lost their prior two league matches, were behind in the first half after a goalkeeping blunder by Neto allowed Luis Rioja to open the scoring. Barca actually started the match brightly. Their gifted youngster Ansu Fati raced clear of the Alaves defence early on but could only strike his effort wide. However, the visiting defence appeared to lack confidence and looked vulnerable on the counter. Alaves left midfielder Luis Rioja tried to exploit this but brought a smart save out of Barca keeper Neto after fine play by Brazilian centre forward Deyverson. It was from another such A...
