Description

ISSUE 12 marks a first for the magazine, with all 112 pages dedicated to one theme: Spanish and Portuguese football. This edition’s cover feature, by editor Archie Willis, tells the story of ten chaotic years at Valencia CF under the ownership of Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim, with extensive interviews and on-the-ground reporting and photography.

In ISSUE 12’s Features section, stories on Málaga, Hércules and Castellón also focus on the rise and fall of some of Spain’s sleeping giants, blighted by poor ownership but balanced with tales of hope. Dylan Chavasse’s Zaragoza travel guide is not to be missed on page 62, covering the stadium, the food and the best of the city.

At the back, our contributors tackle a variety of topics in this issue’s Journal section. Joseph O’Sullivan argues against the use of the ‘B’ team system in Spain, while Kris Scrimgeour and Lee Alves pen historical pieces on Lisbon’s Benfica and Sporting.
