LALIGA News

LaLiga say Barcelona have never had the salary space to register Dani Olmo or Pau Víctor.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti told a Spanish court on Wednesday he had believed his tax affairs were legal as he testified in a trial in which he is accused of failing to pay €1 million ($1.08m) in tax on image rights revenue.

Hansi Flick has said there is no luck to Barcelona success this season but he knows it's trophies that matter as he prepares for Wednesday's "final before the final" against Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

Las Palmas goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen underwent successful surgery to repair a bowel perforation, the LaLiga club announced on Monday.

Diego Simeone is the most important figure in Atlético Madrid's history. Lose to Barça, however, and that legacy will become about what could have been.
