As La Liga kicks off this week, there will be no shortage of Spanish stars in action across the water in the Premier League too, including some of Spain’s Euro 2024 heroes. Perhaps the pick of the fixtures is Manchester City’s trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
For the first time since a slightly worse for wear Marc Cucurella sang his own song to thousands on stage following their victory, he will face off against Erling Haaland. Based on their previous seasons, it will be Cucurella who is trembling, rather than Haaland.
One-time ‘couldn’t play that way in England’ manager Pep Guardiola will also face off against one of his disciples in Enzo Maresca. The Italian was his assistant until last season, when he joined Leicester City, and now he will be facing off against his former boss in his debut for Chelsea, which is certainly a baptism of fire.

Former Villarreal pair Filip Jorgensen and Nico Jackson will be hoping to feature, as will ex-Barcelona forward Marc Guiu, who joined for €6m this summer. One of La Liga’s most exciting players last season, Savio Moreira, will be hoping to carry similar form into the new season.
The main attraction may well be Rodri Hernandez though. The Spain lynchpin furthered his argument to be regarded as the best midfielder in the world this summer, and few are as smooth to watch. The reception he gets will also be worth keeping an eye on, having also caused backlash with his chanting during the Euro 2024 that Gibraltar was Spanish.
