La Liga Preview: An African Fiesta in the Spanish Top-Flight with GOtv! #BestFootballFriend

The action begins on Friday evening 10 January as Rayo Vallecano hosts Celta Vigo at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas. Guinean midfielder Ilaix Moriba is making waves in La Liga as he continues to shine at Celta.
Coming from Barcelona’s iconic academy La Masia, Moriba is grabbing the attention of various clubs in Europe who are keen to secure his services. He detailed his experience at Barca, saying:
“At La Masia, you have no choice but to mature. They help and guide you a lot. But things depend on you – rigour, consistency, work and everything is taught from a young age.”
At only 21, Moriba is definitely showing a lot of maturity, and since he picked up an assist in his last match he’ll hope to emulate that performance in this next clash.
Saturday 11 January gives La Liga fans the fixture between Alaves and Girona at Estadio Mendizorrotza. Moroccan defender Abdel Abqar has set the record straight about “fake news” regarding his contract with El Glorioso and rumours that he is unhappy.
“Fake news, you do like the lies and the show,” Abqar wrote online. “I will speak soon and let it be known that two do no dance if one does not want to.” Linked with a move to Sevilla, he will be eager to show that he’s committed to Alaves in this next clash.
More action awaits on Sunday 12 January when second-placed Atletico Madrid take on Osasuna at the Metropolitano Stadium. Cameroonian defender Flavien Boyomo will have to be on form to stop Atletico’s attacking prowess.
According to media reports, Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion are keen on getting the “Rolls Royce” into their own squad.
