The Granada goalkeeper made an anti-record

Last night`s loss with 1:2 as a guest of Osasuna left Granada at the bottom in the standings of the Primera Liga, but the team`s goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa recorded a troublesome record. The second hit for Osasuna was at number 80 in the door of a Mexican national by the start of the season. Thus Ochoa became the goalkeeper who received the most goals in the context of a campaign. So far in this upscale, it was the Salamanca goalkeeper Inaki who had allowed 79 goals during the season 1995/96.
A curious fact is that Ochoa is the leader in number of saves among goalies in the Championships of the top 5. He has had 161 saves but nevertheless his team garnered only 20 points so far and already fell out.

Bayern bought Coman

Only some days ago, Bayern Munich purchased the winger Kingsley Coman from Juventus after the Frenchman spent two seasons on a loan at the Stadium Allianz Arena.
The team paid 21 million euros for the French national and will hold his rights until the summer of 2020. According to the newspaper `Times`, however, the action of the German champion is something as an investment deal.
The reason for Bayern to buy 20-year-old midfielder on a permanent basis is the strong interest in him from his former coach Pep Guardiola. The season for Manchester City is about to be a complete failure, and for the first time in his coaching career Pep remains without a trophy.
The Citizens are ready to implement the wishes of the manager and to give him a lot of funds for transfers. It is expected that a total of 60 million euros will be spent for Coman.
