If this isn’t a joke, it’s going to be… a fairy tale! Alavés entered the new La Liga season as one of the favorites for relegation, and after three matchdays, they’re enjoying—albeit temporarily—the top spot!
Kike Sánchez’s team didn’t just hold off—they… crushed the “odless” Villarreal, winning 1-0 on a goal by Lucas Boyé in the 31st minute and leaving the “Yellow Submarine” with just one point after three matches!
