Malaga Insiders

Málaga headed to the Basque country this past Sunday afternoon, but once again there was nothing to bask in at all as Málaga left Eibar with a 2-1 loss, despite scoring an 89th minute equaliser. We discussed how big a blow that loss could be for Málaga’s survival hopes, although we found positives in the form of our two new wingers, Lago Junior and Arvin Appiah. Then we moved on from Esteban Burgo...

Málaga kicked off 2023 with a 1-1 draw against Tenerife at La Rosaleda. It was a much better performance from Los Blanquiazules, but it was the same old story of failing to put the ball in the back of the net when on top. We discussed that draw and whether the point really is enough for Málaga, as a tough run of fixtures beckons. That tough run starts with an away trip to top of the league at Eiba...

In the first ‘Vamos a…’ episode of the New Year, Matt headed to La Rosaleda to watch Málaga take on Tenerife in what would be an important game for Málaga, but without the desired outcome. A 1-1 draw leaves Málaga still 4 points from safety, despite Málaga putting in a good performance against a tepid Tenerife. Of course, football was just part of the day as Matt was joined by Nick and his mate Da...

Happy New Year one and all! 2022 was a tough year for many people and that was certainly the case for Málaga Club de Fútbol too; hopefully it’s a ‘New Year, New Me’, for Málaga as they kick-off 2023 with a home game against Tenerife this coming Saturday evening. To talk all things Málaga v Tenerife, we were joined by Chris Todd of the Armada Sur supporters’ group in Tenerife. Plus, we discussed th...

Just a few hours after Leo Messi lifted the World Cup, another Argentine was busy lifting spirits at la Rosaleda. A sole Pablo Chavarria goal was enough for Málaga to secure 3 points against Alavés in the last league game of 2022. We discussed that massive win for Málaga as well as having a quick look ahead to our cup game against Gimnàstic de Tarragona, before reviewing our first half of the seas...

In a week where are other football podcasts are analysing the World Cuo semi-finals, here, at the Guiricast, we’ll be sticking to focusing on the nitty gritty lower realms of Segunda football as Malaga once again flattered to deceive by claiming just two points from six this past week in another two ‘must win’ games. We took a brief look back on Malaga’s rainy 1-1 draw against Granada at La Rosale...

Matt made another long journey up the coast for another Málaga away day - this time he headed to Valencia to watch Los Blanquiazules take on Levante at Estadi Ciutat de València. Málaga sunk to another 1-0 loss, but Matt had an enjoyable trip taking in a night in Alicante and revelling in the awesome city that is Valencia. Plus, it turns out he finds Kiss Cam hilarious.

Málaga won their second home game of the season and only their second home win in the past 12 months with a 1-0 win against Ponferradina. We looked back on that performance and discussed whether it was a much deserved win or did we get lucky? They’ll need a lot of luck in their next game as they travel away to in form Levante with Matt heading along to Valencia to watch the game. Plus, we chatted...

Málaga still sit bottom of the league and are still six points away from safety, but at least there is perhaps a tiny glimpse of hope. Ten-man Málaga battled bravely this past Saturday to a 1-1 draw away at Zaragoza, thanks to Haitam’s first goal for the club and some heroics from Rubén Yáñez in the Málaga goal. We looked back at the game and discussed whether it was a case of a point won or point...

It’s been a busy week on the pitch for Málaga CF with 2 games in the space of 4 days. Last Thursday, 10-man Málaga fell 2-1 away at Cartagena despite a brave showing, before we returned home to La Rosaleda on Sunday, where a late Juande equaliser grabbed our boys a deserved point. Málaga remain the league’s colista and now sit 6 points away from safety with no league game for 2 weeks, as this week...

With a week off work, Matt decided to venture down the coast to watch Málaga play at FC Cartagena on a Thursday night. Joining him was fellow Guiricaster Alex Ashmore, Alex's dad and Russ Pearce of 'Seagulls Over Spain' (and another signed up member of the Jack Harper Appreciation Society it seems). Listen for Matt clearly loving saying the word 'Carrrtagena' (and saying the stadium name wrong thr...

Another matchday at La Rosaleda, another loss for Málaga. There was little joy to take from the 1-0 loss to Eibar, but Matt made sure he prepared himself in the usual way: by drinking lots of Victoria prematch. Expect the usual chat at Bar Hermanos Madrid and the reaction to events unfolding at La Rosaleda as they happened.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After last week’s jubilation of securing a home win, it’s back to the same old Málaga this week, as once again they sunk to a defeat against one of their rivals down in the lowly depths of the Segunda. A 1-0 loss away to Oviedo further cemented Málaga’s position one off bottom of the table and we spent this episode discussing what went wrong once again and whether a team of Pingu, Chilly Willy and...

After 330 days, Málaga have won a home game! Málaga triumphed over Lugo this past Sunday and performed brilliantly in a 3-2 win, with Lugo’s two goals coming in injury time to keep the home fans on their toes at the end. We wax lyrical about Cristián, Hervías, Ruben Castro and pretty much the whole team, before we look ahead to our Monday night game against Real Oviedo. Plus, we talk about José Ma...

Málaga have finally won a home game! Matt was there to enjoy an amazing night at La Rosaleda - an amazing night with a nervy ending.

Matt heads to La Rosaleda for the 3rd game of Pepe Mel's tenure and like the three before it, this one also ends in a draw leaving  Málaga bottom of the league. There's the usual prematch beers and chat at Bar Hermanos Madrid and even an appearance from another member of the Guiricast cast. Learn more about your ad choices.

Málaga travelled to Racing Santander this past matchday, but it was certainly not one to get pulses racing. A 0-0 draw in Santander still sees Málaga stuck in the relegation places, but they did climb up one place to 21st in the league. And getting out of those relegation places will not get any easier this coming weekend as the revelation of this season’s Segunda so far come to La Rosaleda: the b...

The Pepe Mel era is underway and it has started with a draw, but the performance was much better than in previous matchdays. We discussed that 1-1 draw at La Rosaleda against Villarreal B and what changes we have noticed under Pepe Mel so far. Then, we looked ahead to our bottom of the table clash as bottom of the league Málaga travel to Racing Santander - the team above them in the league. Plus,...

‘Pablo Guede no puede’ - this week saw Pablo Guede sacked as the manager of Málaga. A 3-1 away loss to Tenerife finished off Guede’s time at Málaga CF with many fans and fan groups voicing their displeasure with Guede and those above him. We looked back on that loss at the Helidoro and, fair to say, we had a lot to talk about in regards to that game. But that Guede sacking has led us on to the ‘Hi...

Is the writing on the wall for Pablo Guede after another loss? Well, the writing was literally written on the wall for Guede to go this week, as a group of fans graffitied the walls of Málaga’s training ground with their thoughts on Guede and Manolo Gaspar - but the club still seem to be backing their man. On this week’s episode, we looked back at Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Huesca before looking ahead t...

I was very 'upsettee' after watching Málaga lose to Albacete this weekend and it seemed that quite a lot of others at La Rosaleda were similarly 'upsettee' too, as the full-time whistle was the cue for loud chants of ‘¡Guede vete ya!’ (‘Guede go now!’). We will look back on how the Clockwork Cheese ticked and Málaga creaked. Plus, we will look ahead to our game against Huesca this coming Sunday, w...

Matt is back in the hosting hot seat after his long summer of walking and just in time to celebrate a Málaga win. We revel in our 3-1 win away to Mirandés and give a lot of love to the team for their improvement since the 4-0 loss to Las Palmas. Also this week, we look over the latest transfer news ahead of the transfer window closing and look ahead to this week’s game against El Queso Mecánico -...
