🚨🔥BREAKING: Javier Alberola Rojas has been appointed as the referee for Sunday’s high-stakes La Liga clash between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona at the Metropolitano. The 34-year-old from Ciudad Real will take charge of the fixture for the first time in his career, with the title race very much in the balance. Alberola Rojas previously officiated Atlético’s 3-1 win over Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in August, a match in which the visitors raced into a three-goal lead before half-time. His record with Atlético stands at 12 wins from 21 La Liga games, while Barcelona have won 10 of the 13 matches he has handled.

🚨🔥BREAKING: Newcastle United defender Amar Dedic has broken his silence after being stopped by police for carrying a bow and arrows in the Northumberland countryside. The 24-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international was spotted with a friend near a reservoir, prompting a response that saw multiple police vehicles intercept their car in Darras Hall. Northumbria Police seized the equipment and confirmed it was for recreational use with no threat to the public, while Dedic fully cooperated. The Magpies right-back later referenced the incident humorously on social media by comparing himself to Legolas from The Lord of the Rings, and he remains available for selection.
