Front pages: Espí saves Mou, Barça debut, United crash

The first front pages of the Mourinho era debut with a scare and a new hero. A guy with a guardian angel, according to As.

Espanyol had Real Madrid on the ropes, and Espí had to arrive in the 90th minute to save the day. 1-2. The first joy for Marca.

Mourinho, true to his combative style, denounced the bullying Vinicius continues to suffer from rivals and fans.

Barça, the reigning champions, begin the league away from home at the Martínez Valero against Elche, with Flick one title away from matching Cruyff and Guardiola in the club of three-time champions.

Going for the third, declare Sport and Mundo Deportivo in unison.

In the league of mere mortals, Sevilla make the best possible start by hammering Athletic 1-3 at San Mamés and sit top with a perfect points haul eight days before the transfer window closes. Seeing is believing.

Valencia, on the other hand, draw 0-0 with Celta and confirm that life at Mestalla is still exactly the same as ever.

In Italy, Napoli and Inter start out on top. Allegri begins his spell on the Napoli bench with a win over Genoa, and Inter steamroll Monza (4-1) with a backheel from Pio Esposito that is already making national front pages.

England‘s headline comes from Manchester United, who begin the season with a 2-0 defeat away to newly promoted Hull City, including a goal from a certain Nobel Mendy.

Carrick sums it up with the elegance of someone who already knows what awaits him: “It’s just one game.”
