Sevilla demand LaLiga's raw footage after Güler's elbow got no close-up replay

Arda Güler's elbow on Peque Fernández reached Sevilla fans only in a wide shot, while Kylian Mbappé's penalty was replayed from several angles. On Tuesday Sevilla turned that into a formal complaint to LaLiga's Competitions Department, signed by president José María del Nido Carrasco, asking for the raw footage of four incidents from Sunday's 4-1 defeat at the Bernabéu and for "depuración de responsabilidades", an inquiry into who decided what.

Our take "Nothing hidden" needs the raw footage

Report: Pérez eyes Deschamps if Mourinho fails, and the Clásico is the test

Four months after giving José Mourinho a contract to 2029, Florentino Pérez has already told people close to him who would replace him, according to Sergio Valentín: "Se trata de Didier Deschamps." SPORT picked up the report on Saturday and gave an example of what "not working" could mean: no positive result in the Clásico at Camp Nou on 25 October.

Our take The table will decide this before Pérez does

Mastantuono lost the ball 18 times at Genoa. Vanoli's answer: keep playing him

Franco Mastantuono lost the ball 18 times in Fiorentina's 2-1 defeat at Genoa, Infobae counts, and in Argentina the criticism has been loud since. His coach Paolo Vanoli answered the other way: he called the 19-year-old an important player and said players like him only learn Italian football by playing it.

Our take This is protection, not a warning

He told Corriere dello Sport that he coached Madrid during "the important times of Negreira", the years in which Barcelona paid the company of the former vice-president of Spain's referees' committee.

Our take Mourinho is already playing the Clásico

Report: Hernández Hernández to referee Barcelona v Real Madrid on 25 October

Alejandro Hernández Hernández will referee the first Clásico of the season, Barcelona v Real Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday 25 October, according to Roberto Gómez on Radio Marca.

Our take The whistle won't decide this Clásico

Carvajal to Getafe is official after a week on hold over LaLiga's salary limit

Getafe president Ángel Torres told DAZN on Tuesday that Dani Carvajal has passed his medical and that the only thing still missing is an agreement with LaLiga. The former Real Madrid captain, a free agent since 30 June, would join a Getafe side about to start its Conference League campaign.

Our take A leader for Europe, not a 40-game right-back
