If you’ve already made coffee and toast, you don’t need anything else to get the day started because we bring you the five stories that could shape the football conversation on Wednesday morning.

💔 Arbeloa’s coldness toward Carvajal

The lack of affection Álvaro Arbeloa shows Dani Carvajal in public, captain and Real Madrid legend, is causing plenty of talk and will continue to do so until the end of the season.

Does the full-back deserve this treatment? Do they really have a bad relationship? Several analysts (Santi Cañizares, Fermín de la Calle, Paco González...) point out that the situation goes back to the time when an emerging Carvajal pushed Arbeloa out of the first team.

Flick, currently in the middle of contract renewal talks, has a good opportunity today against Celta to move closer to the league title. 

Real Madrid’s win yesterday means there can be no letting up, and Barça will field the strongest possible lineup.

Gavi is expected to return in place of Bernal, with Rashford back on the left wing.
