Alhaurin de la Torre Overview

Former Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has announced his retirement from professional football. The veteran defender shared an emotional farewell message after bringing the curtain down on a career that spanned 20 seasons across Europe.

With Barcelona still said to be mulling over whether to sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent basis, the on-loan Manchester United attacker provided a timely - and hugely important - reminder of his worth as Barcelona beat Osasuna 2-1 on Saturday evening to move 14 points clear at the top of La Liga. The Blaugrana were struggling dismally to break down their hosts when Flick decided to bring Rashford on midway through the second half of the game in Pamplona.
