Meet The La Liga Club With A 7,500 Seater Ground And A Player On Bail For Attempted Murder

La Liga new boys Huesca are set for a new season in what some would call the best league in the world.

An unknown club, Huesca have a 7,500 seater stadium, having managed to add an extra 2,000 seats to their comparatively minuscule 5,300 ground. But because of the construction work going on, they will have to play their first three matches of the season away from home, until the seats are added.

They have highly-rated 19-year-old Colombian striker, Cucho Hernandez, who they have managed to hang onto for the new season. In their ranks also is Ruben Semedo - but the defender is currently out on bail, having posted bail for around 30,000 Euros, after being arrested for attempted murder and the unlicensed possession of a firearm.

They will entertain Rayo Vallecano as their very first home game on September 14.

However, by this point, they would have already travelled to the Nou Camp to play the famous Spanish side. Lionel Messi, a player whose salary was about five times that of Huesca's entire club budget

It's similar to that of when Bournemouth was promoted to the Premier League. The southern coast side had been plying their trade in League Two just a number of years before their promotion, and when they made it to the Premier League, it was great to see a relatively smaller club do so well and stay up. They are now a Premier League regular. The question is, can Huesca do the same?
