🥐 Carvajal, Lewandowski... 5 stories to kick off your Tuesday

This Tuesday’s news kicks off with a mix of institutional tension and sporting doubts shaking the foundations of Spanish football.

While Real Madrid manages the possible “end of an era” for a heavyweight like Dani Carvajal after his post-Mestalla crisis, the RFEF is forced to intervene urgently to remove a referee under police investigation.

These moves in the offices coexist with uncertainty on the pitch at Vallecas, where the state of the turf threatens to sabotage the upcoming Madrid derby.

On the international stage, the transfer market is heating up with the MLS making a final push for Robert Lewandowski. Finally, the Premier League adds a splash of color, where the clash between West Ham and Manchester United goes beyond just sports.

'Carvajal Case' at Real Madrid

The sporting news this Tuesday is dominated by the delicate situation of Dani Carvajal at Real Madrid. After the incidents in Mestalla, the full-back is going through an emotional and sporting slump that casts doubt on his future at the club and his presence at the next World Cup. Both the player’s camp and the club sense signs of a premature end of an era.

Refereeing Scandal

The RFEF has taken drastic measures by provisionally suspending a Second Division referee. The official is under investigation following a complaint for alleged assault on a woman, having supposedly impersonated a police officer. This news once again shakes the foundations of the Spanish refereeing establishment.

Lewandowski’s Future Looks to the USA

In the transfer market, the MLS is not giving up on Robert Lewandowski. Chicago Fire is leading the charge to convince the Polish striker and his family to move to the United States once his contract with Barça ends this summer. The American project is aiming for a major coup with the veteran goalscorer.

Alarm Over Vallecas Turf

The controversy continues in Vallecas. After the suspension of Rayo-Oviedo, LaLiga is closely inspecting the pitch to decide if the derby against Atlético de Madrid can be played on Sunday. Thursday will be the key day to learn the final decision about a pitch that remains in the eye of the storm.

A Hairy Promise in London

Finally, today’s West Ham-Manchester United match has an unexpected protagonist: Frank Ilett.
