🥐 Atleti without Julián, Raphinha's idea... Saturday's 5️⃣ stories

The summer transfer market has seen a series of surprising moves, including Álvaro Morata’s loan switch to CD Leganés. The move has dramatically altered the landscape of the Spanish second division, with Leganés now seen as the team's primary goal for a return to the top flight. Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid’s attack is in turmoil as Julián Álvarez, the team's central forward, has refused to train, effectively ruling him out for Atlético’s upcoming trip to Seville.

This absence has led to tactical changes, with FC Barcelona exploring alternatives such as using Raphinha as their main striker. The UEFA Europa League and Conference League have also been busy, with teams facing tough draws that will test their mettle. FC Barcelona, on the domestic front, are set to kick off their Liga F season with the aim of retaining their league title.
