Spain defeated Cyprus 3-1 on Thursday evening and Joselu played the entire 90 minutes, scoring the third goal of the game. La Roja started brilliantly, going three goals up so early that the final hour of the match was like a training session, played in second gear.

The right-back avoided picking up a yellow and a suspension.

Real Madrid overcame their injury crisis by confidently dispatching Cádiz 3-0 on Sunday evening, with Rodrygo the hero even though he initially wasn’t supposed to be starting this game. After being called in last minute to the line-up, the Brazilian scored the first two goals to mean he now has six goals from his past six appearances, having put the goal drought well and truly behind him. There’s a lot to discuss from this one, and that’s what we do here in the form of three answers and three questions.

Ahead of Real Madrid vs Napoli in the Champions League, Dani Carvajal spoke at the player press conference held on Tuesday. The vice-captain previewed Wednesday night’s game and discussed his own form, stating: “I feel like I’m contributing a lot to the team and I feel good in terms of confidence. I’m at 100 percent and focused on this game against Napoli, a top team, and on facing a top player like Kvaratskhelia. We want to ensure we top our group.”

The coach also looked ahead to his reunion with Walter Mazzarri.

Real Madrid have secured first place in their Champions League group, thanks to a 4-2 win over Napoli at the Bernabéu on Wednesday night. Although Napoli went ahead early on, Los Blancos fought back and went in 2-1 up at the break thanks to Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham goals. And, despite conceding another early strike at the start of the second half, a long-range first goal for the team from Nico Paz and a much-needed goal from Joselu made it 4-2. There’s a lot to discuss following this one, and we do so here in the form of three pre-match questions that were answered and three new questions that have come up.

The coach also praised Bellingham after another great performance.
