- Malaga’s fans are excited, and it isn’t without good reason. After signing players such as Jony, Keko and Diego Llorente, Juande Ramos’s squad has been strengthened considerably. In their final pre-season match, Malaga won the Ramon de Carranza Trophy.

At. Osasuna: 

- Time to start dreaming. The Pamplona outfit return to LaLiga Santander following a two-year absence and their first test back in the top flight is a fixture at La Rosaleda. "This season will be a thrilling experience. If you’d told us last year that we’d be where we are today, we wouldn’t have believed you," commented Osasuna coach Enrique Martin.

A rocket from a Rojillos' myth!

- Martin’s team promise to be a tough, self-sacrificing and awkward team to play against. Despite the fact that the majority of Osasuna’s players will be making their LaLiga Santander debuts, Martin has said that "We are going to Malaga to win".
