Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodrigo Riquelme admits that he received offers to leave the club over the summer. Riquelme was linked to English side Manchester City in August.
“I’ve been away from home for three years, and I’m from here,” he told Marca.
“I have been here all my life, I feel it’s my home.
“I have been away fighting for my chance, and now, having that opportunity is a turning point in my happiness and what I want is to succeed here.
“It’s true there was several offers from powerful teams, but Atletico was always in my head, and I will fight for my dream here.” Rodrigo Riquelme said.
Aston Villa will try again to get full-back Macros Acuna from Sevilla. The defender who did well in the Europa League last season, was linked to the Premier League club in the summer.
But, Unai Emery could not get his signature and instead used Lucas Digne in the position to good effect. According to Grad3, Villa has not forgotten about Acuna, and the player is eager for the move too.
Villa will make another offer to try and secure the Sevilla player in the winter if he is available for a reasonable price. Acuna only has 18 months left on his contract with the Spanish La Liga giants.
Barcelona coach Xavi was frustrated after their 2-2 draw with Granada. He insisted that the score was not worthy of the performance the team produced.
“We deserved more; we had patience, we dominated… We take away an insufficient point,” the coach said.
“Perhaps it’s the match where we’ve had the most possession and also many chances. The pity is that we had to come back from 2-0 down,” he continued. “It was a good game in terms of play but not in terms of the result.
“The first goal is a mistake. We had talked about the midfielders pressing, being very aggressive, and it happened. The instruction was clear it, to play it forward. And it hurt us too quickly.”
Regarding the second goal, he noted, “They caught us on the break again. We knew Bryan was a bullet, that he went a lot down the right and that they relied on him a lot on the counterattacks. It’s not easy to stop when he’s in full stride.” Xavi said.
Granada VS Barcelona lock horns in the 2023-24 edition of La Liga. The Catalan will battle for superiority in an important match at the Estadio Los Carmenes this evening.
Granada is now in 19th position in La Liga standings and has struggled to be imposing so far this season. They played out a 3-3 draw against Almeria last week and will need to double this effort in this match against Barca.
The team is winless in their last five games in La Liga and has played out draws in all of their last three games in the competition.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is in second position in the La Liga table and has been in excellent form this season. The Catalan edged FC Porto to a vital 1-0 victory in their previous matches and have a point to prove in this match.
Barca have gathered 20 points from their first eight games in La Liga this season, they have won the league title in just one of their three similar seasons so far.
MatchPlug Prediction For Granada VS Barcelona
Granada has been a problem for Barcelona in many meetings in the past, but they have struggled so far this season. The Catalans are the better team on paper and should have no problems winning this match.
La Liga continues this Sunday, with Atletico VS Sociedad being one of its thrilling match fixtures. Real Sociedad will play Atletic Madrid in a crucial game at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano today.
Atletico Madrid is in fourth position in the La Liga table presently and has been remarkable this season. They edged Feyenoord by a 3-2 scoreline in their last game and will want to pull off the same result this weekend.
Madrid has a good present record against Real Sociedad and has won 21 out of the last 41 matches the two teams played, unlike Sociedad’s 13 victories.

Real Sociedad are currently in fifth position in the La Liga standings and have stepped up so far this season. They blew past RB Salzburg by a 2-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of today’s game.
Sociedad have won just one of the last 11 matches on the road against teams from Madrid in La Liga and lost all of their last two such matches. After a run of just two victories in seven matches in the league, Real has won each of their last two matches in the competition.
MatchPlug Prediction For Atletico Madrid VS Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad can be forced on their day and have started making strides over the past week. However, Atletic Madrid is still the better club presently and should easily win this match.
Sevilla will want to get back to winning in Spain’s top flight when they host Rayo Vallecano for Sevilla VS Vallecano at Estadio Ramon this evening.

This match will have fans on the edge of their seats. To get in on the action, you can look to MatchPlug to get Accurate Football Predictions, picks, and odds for Sevilla VS Vallecano. We are Winning Prediction Site to rely on for La Liga previews.
Predictions and Betting Preview For Sevilla VS Vallecano 2023 La Liga
Venue: Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Seville, Spain.
Sevilla has struggled to take off in La Liga this season, spotting a record of two wins, one draw, and four defeats from their seven matches to take seven points, which left them in 15th position in the table entering the next set of fixtures.
They have only lost one of their last 6 games in every competition, which was a loss to Barcelona last Friday, with an own goal from Sergio Ramos determining the match with the champions. Sevilla is winless in their past three league games with Rayo and they have suffered a 1-0 defeat to the capital outfit in the corresponding match during the 2022-23 campaign.

Rayo Vallecano on the other hand enters this game fresh off a 2-2 draw with Mallorca, with Radamel Falcao scoring a penalty in the 12th minute of added time at the end of the 90 to clinch a share of the spoils. They’ll bring a four-game unbeaten run into this contest, but three of those matches have been draws, sharing points in their last three with Villarreal, Cadiz and Mallorca.
Vallecano has a record of three wins, three draws and two defeats from eight matches this season which has seen them take 12 points to be eighth position in the table. Rayo ended 12th and 11th in their last two campaigns at this level, and it would not be surprising to see them in the same spot by the end of the season.
MatchPlug Prediction For Sevilla VS Vallecano
Winning is proving to be a challenge for Sevilla presently, but they are not losing many games, and there is enough talent in the squad for the club to reach the top of the table in the coming weeks. Vallecano will be the fresher of the two sides, but experts expect them to find their way to an important victory here.
In Madrid VS Osasuna, Real Madrid will want to clinch four consecutive wins when they host Osasuna at Bernabeu in Spain’s top flight this afternoon. Real is at the top of the La Liga table, spotting 21 points from their eight opening games, while their opponent is in 10th position, gathering 10 points from their first 8 games of 2023-24.
This match will have fans on the edge of their seats. To get in on the action, you can look to MatchPlug to get Accurate Football Predictions, picks, and odds for Madrid VS Osasuna. We are the Winning Prediction Site to rely on for La Liga previews.
Predictions and Betting Preview For Real Madrid VS Osasuna 2023 Ligue 1
Real Madrid has recovered nicely from their 3-1 defeat by Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby on September 24th. They’ve won their last 3 games in all campaigns, which secured them a spot at the top of the table heading into their next games. Besides their loss to Atletico, Real has not missed one step, winning 7 of their 8 in the league to get 21 points, placing them ahead of Barcelona.
Jude Bellingham has done well for Madrid this campaign, scoring 8 goals and three assists in 9 appearances, plus a goal and assist against Napoli. Bellingham has managed 6 La Liga goals in seven outings during a spectacular start to his Bernabeu career.

Osasuna has never beaten Real Madrid in any match since January 2011, while they took a 2-1 trashing to the capital outfit in the Copa del Rey final towards the end of last season. But, they’ve managed to get one point in a 1-1 draw at Bernabeu in La Liga last term. Osasuna will also be the fresher of the two teams, as they have not played any game after their 2-0 victory over Alaves in the league last weekend.
The team finished 7th place in Spain’s top flight last season, however, they were defeated in the Europa Conference League playoff round by Club Brugge and struggled with consistency in the league this season. Osasuna has won three, drew one and lost four of their eight La Liga matches to get 10 points, which put them in 10th place in the table.
MatchPlug Prediction For Real Madrid VS Osasuna
Osasuna has the ability to make this fixture a tough one for Real Madrid, who had most of their energy drained in Italy on Tuesday. Although, Real has been very consistent this season, and experts expect them to get another three points in this meeting.
Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad will battle for three points this Sunday when both sides meet at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
Atletico Madrid blew their chance of finishing in second position in the La Liga table away last time when they were held to a 3-3 draw with relegation battling Espanyol.
Diego Simeone’s side were leading 3-0 at one point in the game but took their foot off the pedal to allow Espanyol back in the game. And by doing so, they dropped to third position in the league standings.
Ahead of their final home game of the season, Atlético supporters will expect their team to step up and justify their position by defeating a top-five club for the first time this season.
The hosts have failed to beat the league’s big boys in six attempts so far (D2, L4), scoring no more than one goal on each occasion. They are fortunate their Champions League participation won’t hinge on their remaining fixtures against top-five rivals Real Sociedad and Villarreal.
Meanwhile, Sociedad can secure Champions League football if they win here.
The visitors kept their top four destiny in their hands last time, beating Almeria by 1-0. The win extended their unbeaten record to seven games (W5, D2) and saw them keep their third clean sheet in their last five games.
Having become the only team to defeat Barcelona at home this season, when they beat them two weeks ago, they will fancy their chances of ending Atlético’s eight-game winning streak at home.
Meanwhile, Sociedad are the only club to have registered more opening goals inside the first 30 minutes (17) than their opponents (15) this La Liga season. So the first half-hour could be an entertaining spectacle.
Real Madrid will travel to Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán this Saturday to face Europa League finalists Sevilla in the penultimate game of the 2022/23 La Liga season.
Sevilla’s chances of breaking into the European spots in the league table took a big hit last time as they were held to a 1-1 draw with already-relegated Elche.
That result means that they come into this penultimate weekend sitting one point behind Osasuna in the race for a spot in the Conference League qualifiers next season.
But they can be forgiven for taking their eyes off the ball as they can qualify for the Champions League, a far more superior competition, if they defeat AS Roma in Budapest next Wednesday.
But manager José Luis Mendilibar will want his side to give their best here to ensure they are prepared to secure top seven should the opportunity arise. He will want his side to extend their six-match unbeaten run in all competitions (W3, D3) and to keep their improved home league form this calendar year going (W7, D2, L2).
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in nine games when they face Sevilla.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side bounced back from back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Valencia to win 2-1 against Rayo Vallecano last time. But even that win was not straightforward, as Los Blancos needed a late goal to win.
Yet, a run of eight games without defeat against Sevilla should make them confident of winning here. And having overtaken Atletico Madrid in second place, Ancelotti will want his side to end the season on a high note by winning their last two games and securing a top-two finish.
Osasuna will welcome Athletic Bilbao to Estadio El Sadar this Thursday, with this meeting being their fourth meeting in this calendar year.
Both sides are still fighting for a place in Europe and can take a giant step towards their aim with a win here.
Extra time was needed to separate them after two Copa del Rey semi-final legs earlier this year, with Osasuna progressing to the final but ultimately losing to Real Madrid.
So a top-seven finish will be the only remaining path to continental action for the hosts, who currently sit in tenth position, three points behind their visitors in seventh.
So with three games to go, this is a must-win for them if they still want to play European football next season. Having drawn 0-0 in the reverse fixture, Jagoba Arrasate’s Osasuna would jump ahead of their rivals on the head-to-head tiebreaker with a win here.
However, four losses from their last five games (W1) show they are outsiders in this tie. Yet Bilbao’s one win from their last five games (D1, L3) doesn’t make them clear favourites.
But their record of five wins from their last seven La Liga visits to this stadium should give them confidence.
A decent away form this year should also serve as a morale booster, as Bilbao have picked up more La Liga wins on the road (W4, D3, L4) than at home (W3, D2, L5) since the World Cup.
Meanwhile, two of the last eight H2Hs in all competitions produced more than 2.5 total goals. So an under 2.5 goals bet is advisable for this game.
