Barcelona

The Spanish champions maintained their perfect record after a 5:2 victory at Camp Nou, featuring braces from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Despite media praise, manager Hansi Flick emphasized the need for better game control.

19-year-old Xavi Espert completed 90 minutes in the two opening rounds and once again impressed the Barcelona coach, who previously compared him to the Bayern Munich legend: "I am a bit surprised by how he plays."

The media in Catalonia continues to praise the playing style with a false nine and compliments the move the coach made with Raphinha. And also: the historical record.

With a brace and a debut as captain, Raphinha shone in the 5-0 win over Elche, but it was the Spider-Man style goal celebration that made the headlines. Hansi Flick was delighted with the new leader, but also had to deal with Gavi's injury and the question marks surrounding Balde.

The Joan Gamper Trophy match between Barcelona and Egypt's Al-Ahly at Camp Nou was marred by a violent brawl in the stands. Despite the festive atmosphere, security forces had to intervene to restore order.

Barcelona has beaten Real Madrid in the race for Rodri and is expected to sign the best defensive midfielder in the world for 76.5 million euros. He will fill the void left by Sergio Busquets, upgrade the defense, and serve as a mentor to Marc Bernal. If he returns from surgery at his peak, Hansi Flick has received the piece that could make the Spanish champion the master of Europe.

Just before the champions open the season, the Catalans beat Egypt's Al-Ahly 1:2 in the traditional preparation match. 28 minutes for Oriane Goren, who came off the bench.

Since scoring Spain's winning goal in the World Cup final, he has been everywhere – and not everyone is thrilled with his new persona. The absurd rating he gave himself in FIFA, his surprise at his own goal tally for Barcelona, and his demand that the club "show they want him" have sparked a wave of mockery.

Following the midfielder's presentation at Barcelona, new details have emerged regarding the battle between the bitter rivals. According to reports in Spain, the Blancos' offer was significantly low.

The Spanish national team captain arrived in the Catalan capital to finalize his move from Manchester City to Barcelona, with a contract expected until 2030. The midfielder stated: "Playing for Barcelona is a dream for me."

Barcelona is satisfied with the 5:2 win over Basel in preparation, but the coach admitted: "We need a few more additions." Jesse Bisiwu stole the show and may be used as a false nine later in the season.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the deal, with details revealed by The Athletic. The Spanish midfielder is set to leave Manchester City after seven years and return to La Liga.

Seven French Jews were surrounded by a mob at the Barcelona port, facing 40 minutes of antisemitic slurs, spitting, and humiliation. One of the victims, Jimmy Zagron, recounted the terrifying ordeal in an interview with French television.

The 2026/27 La Liga season kicks off tomorrow, but Real Madrid and Barcelona will miss the opening round. Both teams will begin their campaigns next week due to the heavy workload of players who participated in the final stages of the 2026 World Cup.

The Catalan website 'Sport' is impressed by the Israeli talent, who has already received minutes in preparation matches against Birmingham and Udinese — and the Spanish champions do not rule out a first-team debut during the season.

The Barcelona star denied reports of a crisis with coach Hansi Flick, attacked the rumors surrounding him and clarified: "I have been here for seven years, it has always been my dream."

According to Fabrizio Romano, the clubs have agreed on the transfer fee for the World Cup final hero, who has already agreed to a five-year contract with Luis Enrique's team.

Barcelona is counting on Rodri and the generation of stars from the World Cup, but is stuck without a striker. Real Madrid has brought back Mourinho to bring order to the locker room and, above all, to turn Mbappe from a goal-scoring machine into a trophy-winning machine. After the national team conquered the world, the two giants of La Liga will not only fight for the crown of Spain — they are...

The former Barcelona coach met with representatives of the Dutch Football Association, was preferred over Roberto Martinez, signed until 2030, and stepped into the shoes of Ronald Koeman.

The deal for Ferran Torres' transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain is in its final stages. Both clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of 50 million euros plus bonuses that could bring the deal to 55 million euros.

The Argentine striker lost patience after failing to meet with Diego Simeone, and reports in Spain suggest he is now ready to push hard to secure a transfer to the Catalan club.

During a training session for the Spanish champions as part of their preparation for the 2026/2027 season, they lost their talented Swedish midfielder. He is expected to be out of Hansi Flick's squad for about 8 months.

The Israeli talent received 29 minutes of playing time for Barcelona and is expected to return to the reserve team. Hansi Flick admitted that the pre-season preparation is far from ideal.

The 17-year-old Israeli came off the bench in the 1-0 loss to the tournament hosts. Earlier, the Catalans beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 on a penalty by Raphinha.

The Spanish midfielder, formerly of Como, joins as a free agent on a contract through June 2028 with an option for an additional season, reuniting in the United States with Riqui Puig.

In Spain, it is claimed that the midfielder spoke with the manager during their time together at Manchester City last season and heard from him that the Catalan club would be a better fit than Real Madrid.

Despite initial reports that a 45-million-euro bid was rejected, sources in Spain now claim Manchester City has agreed to a 50-million-euro deal. The midfielder is expected to sign officially next week.

Hansi Flick has made several cuts to the Spanish champion's squad, but 17-year-old Israeli talent Orian Goren will remain with the senior team for the upcoming training camp in Italy.

One of the most intriguing issues of the transfer window in Spain is becoming complicated: according to a report in the Catalan "Sport", negotiations between Real Madrid and Manchester City midfielder Rodri have hit a dead end, and at the moment his move to the Santiago Bernabeu is not on the agenda.

17-year-old Israeli midfielder Orian Goren, who impressed Hansi Flick during Barcelona's training sessions, has become the target of online abuse and political attacks due to his nationality.

Raised in poverty, playing barefoot, overcoming a serious illness and a difficult suspension, the Brazilian forward has joined Barcelona from Manchester City. The Catalans set a club record to sign Karolin.

Ferran Torres, star of Barcelona and the Spanish national team, sparked great interest when he celebrated his team's World Cup victory wearing a red cap with the inscription "Make Spain Great Again". Torres, who scored the winning goal in the final, clarified that his choice did not stem from political motives, but from a desire to see Spain at its peak.

After 11 seasons and 21 titles at Barcelona, the 34-year-old goalkeeper joins the Dutch club for one season.

Real Madrid continues its attempts to sign Rodri, but according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City is choosing not to rush the deal. Despite official talks with the Spanish giants, City has slowed down negotiations, anticipating potential interest from other clubs, including Barcelona.

Ferran Torres continues to maintain ambiguity regarding his future at Barcelona, but is sending a clear message to the club's management. In an interview during the team's pre-season tour in the USA, the 26-year-old striker clarified that contract extension progress depends on how he is treated by the board. He also addressed reports regarding potential interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

Tottenham submitted a 60 million euro offer that was rejected, and the Catalans are examining the possibility of signing him but are deterred by his high salary. Will he take a pay cut for them?

Spain's World Cup victory has boosted the market value of its players. Ferran Torres is linked to a move to PSG, while Barcelona has inquired about signing defender Aymeric Laporte.

His provocations, political views, and statements alienate many fans, but when the ball is at his feet, it is impossible to argue with his rare talent. Why, despite everything, I want to see Lamine Yamal continue to break records. Do you have something to say? Send your columns to: kick@ynet.co.il
