đď¸ Barça full house, Mestalla heats up… Monday’s front pages
The sports front pages this Monday, September 14 are dominated by FC Barcelonaâs unstoppable run at the top of LaLiga, AtlĂŠtico de Madridâs emphatic thrashing to keep pace, and the institutional shake-up at Mestalla with the dismissal of Carlos CorberĂĄn.
Sport and Mundo Deportivo lead with the same main headline: “15 out of 15”. FC Barcelona beat Levante 2-4 thanks to a brace from Lamine Yamal and goals from Xavi Espart and Adeyemi.
With this win, the Blaugrana have made it five wins from five matches and remain three points clear of Real Madrid.
In Madrid, the general sports press focuses its front pages on motorsport and cycling, but also highlights AtlĂŠtico de Madridâs 0-3 win over Real Sociedad (Marca and As).
Simeoneâs side sealed the victory late on with goals from Grimaldo, David and Giuliano to stay in touch with the leaders.
Superdeporte focuses fully on Valencia CFâs crisis under the headline “Clean slate (again)”. The club has officially announced the dismissal of Carlos CorberĂĄn after taking just 1 point from a possible 15, as well as the departure of CEO Ron Gourlay, while confirming the arrival of Braulio VĂĄzquez as sporting director.
Meanwhile, Estadio Deportivo puts Real Betis on its front page with “Going for the big blow”. Manuel Pellegriniâs team face a direct showdown with Villarreal as they look for a win and a chance to move into third place in the league. The same front page also notes the calm around Sevilla FC ahead of their next match against Deportivo de La CoruĂąa.
