We have discussed about the styling before. Others might not, but I do. If the problem is that no source has mentioned it, I will add the source. It is not a big problem. (Alternatively, you could do that now that it is on talk page)

Review of revision 4367180 [Not ready]

Revision 4367180 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and found not ready at 05:24, 28 November 2017 (UTC). Copyright: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Newsworthiness: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Verifiability: Not ready: See below. NPOV: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Style: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Comments by reviewer: Nothing has changed. Checking whether there is external evidence that something is wrong is basic caution; with an article getting toward the outer end of its freshness window I routinely keep an eye out for signs the news has lost freshness due to later developments, and in this case such a check suggests there is a later game. I'm well aware that the cited sources verify the numbers in the sentence, but no matter how much we may trust those sources, all they testify to is that those numbers were true when those articles were published, not that they are still true now. I've already explained my position on the styling. I see no evidence that "LaLiga" is anything more than an unsuccessful commercial affectation; practically nobody writes "twitter" instead of "Twitter" either, even though their logo has it in lower case. It looks as if the above remarks on the earlier review are simply noting the already-known fact that the old sources said those things, which was never at issue; the concern was about later developments. Questions about the above? Ask. If possible, please address the above issues then resubmit the article for another review (by replacing {{tasks}} in the article with {{review}}).

Double standards. It is totally okay when we write "Yahoo!", "iOS", "macOS", "iTunes", "eBay", "Amsterdam ArenA". But when it is about this proper noun, "LaLiga", we have a problem. Twitter's logo is in lower case, so is Facebook's. But "T" and "F" are in upper case in their "About" section.

If you're saying that when to use which form of a name is complicated, I agree. I also note that this point of style is not earthshatteringly important. Independent of deeper issues, putting a space between the two words has the subtle advantage that one is less likely to accidentally miss capitalizing the second word. --Pi zero (talk) 12:56, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Review of revision 4367272 [Passed]

Revision 4367272 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 13:02, 28 November 2017 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Something went badly awry with the "Live Scores" link. I got a page with no meaningful content, and the only link I found on it, which said "All Matches", let to a page that said "Oh no! You shot off target! --- We're sorry! This page cannot be found." (The humor of which was rather lost on me since it was their shot off target, not mine.) However, the tiny bit of information needed I was able to extract from the cited "Results" page. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
