Alfredo Relaño argues that each team "must put the collective commitment to LaLiga above apathy and a lazy unwillingness" in face of adverse weather conditions.

Club officials spent the day complaining that the game should not be played. No reward for a trip Madrid didn't want to make in the first place, writes Alfredo Relaño.

There was a major Copa del Rey upset in Cornellà as Atleti were dumped out of the competition by the 2B side.

Alfredo Relaño looks back on Sunday's LaLiga action as Atlético Madrid secured a late 2-1 win against Alavés while Barcelona laboured to a 1-0 victory over Huesca.

Diego Simeone took charge of his 500th Atlético Madrid game and had cause for celebration as Luis Suárez handed him victory and Elche held Real Madrid.

The FA handed the Atlético defender a 10-week ban for a betting infringement, at a time when England have no games and Chelsea await in Europe.

The proposal promoted by the ECA and richest clubs on the continent will undermine domestic leagues but that isn't the only objection that this initiative throws up.
