We relive a wild month: a 5–0 cup collapse, a tactical reset to beat Atletico away, a nervy Mallorca win, the orange scratch-and-sniff kit draw vs Rayo, and a derby of wonder goals and wasted control. We set targets for March, weigh Europa League stakes, and face the salary cap math.

• Copa quarterfinal errors and high line punished
• Low block success and pressing cameos at Atletico
• Mallorca win with defensive caveats and injuries
• Rayo draw, orange sustainability jerseys, lost control
• Derby brilliance from Anthony and Fidalgo, passive phases
• Table outlook, fifth place, coefficient race
• Europa League tie vs Panathinaikos and approach
• Salary cap, potential sales, and expiring contracts
• Midfield roles rising for Fidalgo, Roca as anchor
• Injury updates for Bellerín, Furpo, Lo Celso, Isco, Amrabat
• March fixtures, seven-point league target, squad depth
