Real Madrid which is not bragging about Vinicius, FC Barcelona which is returning to success in the midst of a registration crisis… Here are the front pages of the Spanish press for this Sunday January 5, 2025.
AS: « Carrefour Vinicius »
The Madrid media are making their headlines on Vinicius Jr's bloodshed on Friday in Valencia. A bloodbath which could earn him between two and four games of suspension depending on the qualification of his act. The response is expected on Tuesday after the Disciplinary Committee and his chances of seeing him in the Spanish Super Cup are slim. There is also talk of Griezmann's goal which was enough for Atlético's happiness in the Copa del Rey, the fact that the RFEF and La Liga refused Olmo's registration and Barça's “remedial victory”.
Marca: “The gift is… Bellingham”
The other major Madrid daily highlights Jude Bellingham who has “increased his importance and his leadership”, expected to be Real's leader at a sporting and economic level for a long time and who resembles Zidane on many points. Atlético's series of 13 victories is talked about, like FC Barcelona's “convenient” victory against Barbastro with a double from Lewandowski and the Dani Olmo – Pau Victor affair.
SPORT: “Victory in the face of the crisis”
In Catalonia, the success of FC Barcelona (4-0) and the smiles of Barbastro contrast with the episode of failed registrations. The Olmo – Victor file is also the subject of an appeal by Une… Just like Real Madrid which “requests a light sanction” for Vinicius Jr.
Sports World: « Registered for the Cup »
MD plays for its part on the registration affair with a play on words on its front page after the easy success against the Spanish D4 team. There is also talk of the Olmo file for which “Barça will go to the CSD” to force the registration of the Spanish winger and Pau Victor. Like Sport, the other major Barcelona daily confirms that Real will do everything to obtain a lighter sanction for Vinicius Jr.
