This month, we are diving into the archive to spotlight Spanish sporting success, amidst an incredible year of international sporting achievement.

Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta | Premier League 

With Premier League clubs beginning their pre-season tours, we're getting excited for another battle of tactical mastery as Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal looks to outwit the genius of Pep Guardiola’s Man City. Despite Arsenal's newfound identity under Arteta, Guardiola has continued to inspire sporting brilliance and consistency from his players, securing a fourth straight Premier League title. 

Alcaraz | Roland-Garros 

Carlos Alcaraz etched his name into tennis history as his 2024 Roland-Garros victory made him the youngest man to win three Grand Slams on three surfaces. Will we see this iconic venue experience more Spanish sporting excellence at the Olympics, as Alcaraz follows in the footsteps of his childhood idol and all-time French Open title record holder, Rafael Nadal?

Alcaraz | Wimbledon 

A year after his epic five-set conquest, Carlos Alcaraz defended his men's singles title with a sensational performance against the most successful men's player of all time, Novak Djokovic.

In February, the MMA community was rocked when fan favourite Alexander Volkanovski lost to Ilia Topuria, making Topuria the first Spanish UFC Champion. With an unblemished record of 15-0, any opponent will have their work cut out for them as he looks to defend his featherweight championship belt.
