Celebrating a big El Clasico win
Real Madrid claimed victory in the season’s first El Clasico and the capital city club’s players shared their euphoria on social media after the match. “Esto es el Real Madrid” – or, “This is Real Madrid” – was one phrase that was repeated again and again by stars such as Marco Asensio and Luka Modric.
Gran partido del equipo. Este es el camino a seguir. ¡Esto es el @realmadrid ! #MA11 u00f0u009fu00a4u008d

Laughing off a wayward pass
Having won El Clasico, Real Madrid were able to return home with smiles on their faces on Saturday evening. Even though there was a slightly awkward moment for Luka Modric during the game when he passed the ball to Rodrygo when the Brazilian was off the pitch and waiting to come on as a substitute, the Croatian was able to laugh this off afterwards on social media. “Calm, I’m still outside [the pitch],” Rodrygo wrote in a tweet after the game. “Why didn’t you play me a one-two?” Modriu00c4u0087 jokingly replied.
Calma, todavía estoy fuera papa! @lukamodric10 u00f0u009fu0098u0082u00f0u009fu0098u0082u00f0u009fu0098u0082 pic.twitter.com/pbhBz4UiEj

Showing off some new technology
Yet another La Liga stadium has installed a spider cam to enhance the broadcast experience, with Cadiz’s Ramon de Carranza the latest to adopt this technology. Cadiz home matches will now be broadcast with a brand-new viewing angle and the Andalusian club offered a behind-the-scenes look at the camera before their Sunday match against Villarreal.
Our #SkyCam at the Carranza is ready to soar above the action - it makes its debut on Sunday for #CádizVillarreal! https://t.co/yYrtfLHj2V
