Leganes (Alexander SZYMANOWSKI, Ezequiel MUNOZ, Martin MANTOVANI and Mauro DO SANTOS) vs. Alaves

Valencia (Ezequiel GARAY) vs. Las Palmas (Hernan TOLEDO, Jonathan CALLERI, Leandro CHICHIZOLA and Sergio ARAUJO)

Saturday, August 19:

Celta Vigo (Facundo RONACGLIA and Gustavo CABRAL) vs. Real Sociedad (Geronimo RULLI)
Girona vs. Atletico Madrid (Angel CORREA, Augusto FERNANDEZ and Nicolas GAITAN)
Sevilla (Ever BANEGA, Gabriel MERCADO, Guido PIZARRO, Joaquin CORREA, Nicolas PAREJA and Walter MONTOYA) vs. Espanyol (Pablo PIATTI)

Sunday, August 20:

Athletic Bilbao vs. Getafe (Daniel DIAZ, Emiliano MARTINEZ and Nicolas GEROSITO)
FC Barcelona (Javier MASCHERANO and Lionel MESSI) vs. Real Betis (German PEZZELLA)
Deportivo La Coruña (Federico CARTABIA) vs. Real Madrid

Levante vs. Villarreal (Leonardo SUAREZ and Mariano BARBOSA)
Malaga vs. Eibar (Gonzalo ESCALANTE)

Every match this weekend involves at least one Argentinian in the team. This season, it’s Sevilla who have the most representatives of the sky blue and white with six on the team.
