The team has shown great strength at their home ground, remaining undefeated since 20th September 2016 until 16th January 2017.

• Málaga – King of the comebacks

The team has fought until the end and claimed many points in the ‘Cesarini zone’. MCF has come from behind in four out of five League games. In addition, in the 3-2 against Sporting de Gijón (see image gallery here), they made two comebacks in the same match (coming back from a 0-1 and a 1-2).

• Goal-scoring at Martiricos

• Youth and Academy, divine treasures  

The Academy has greatly nourished the first team in this first round of competition. The presence of homegrown players in training sessions is immense, with 10 different players included in the line-ups this season, and seven in LaLiga and Cup games. In addition, 15 members of the team are aged between 19 and 25!
