In the final stage of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona staged a thrilling comeback, ultimately defeating their arch-rival Real Madrid 5-2 to claim the title. This championship holds significant meaning for Barcelona, with Laporta becoming a prominent figure in the aftermath. However, just two days after Barcelona's victory, Laporta's position as club president is facing new uncertainties. His actions regarding the registration issues of Olmo and Victor have angered the La Liga Association's top brass. He even publicly insulted Spanish FA President Tebas, calling them shameless, which has completely offended the interests of the Spanish Football Association, leading them to seek his impeachment and removal from office. As a result, Laporta finds himself embroiled in endless turmoil. Despite previous reports suggesting that the La Liga Association has reconciled with Laporta, this appears to be mere surface-level appeasement. Laporta's backdoor dealings and privileged behavior have upset too many people, making him a public enemy throughout La Liga. This makes it difficult for him to continue steering the ship at Barcelona, with his dismissal seemingly imminent. So, who could possibly take over this great club, Barcelona? It's worth noting that none of the previous successors have managed to gracefully retire from the position of Barcelona president, with criticism from the outside never ceasing. Recently, according to Spanish media, club legend Xavi has emerged as a hot candidate. The 44-year-old Xavi, with his years of contributions to Barcelona and managerial experience as a head coach, has become the unanimous choice among fans. Therefore, should Laporta officially step down, Xavi would have a significant…

In the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona defeated their league rivals Real Madrid with a convincing 5-2 scoreline, leaving Real Madrid embarrassed. Pique once again displayed his "five fingers" celebration, and if not for Szczesny's red card, Barcelona could have won with an even greater margin. Under Flick's leadership, Barcelona has scored 9 goals in two matches against Real Madrid this season, showing their dominance. The day after winning the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona issued an ultimatum: the 22-year-old forward who won the title without playing much is no longer favored by Flick. On January 14th, according to reports from Spain's "Mundo Deportivo," Barcelona coach Flick no longer trusts Fati and has closed the door on him. Judging by Flick's team selection, Fati is now on the fringes of the team, with no place in the squad, and Barcelona is eager for him to leave. In these two Spanish Super Cup matches, Fati was absent from the squad list in the semi-final against Athletic Bilbao and was once again left out in the title-deciding match against Real Madrid. Catalan radio station RAC1 revealed that Fati did not make the matchday squad due to technical decisions made by the team. A 16-year-old forward, Fernandez, was included in Barcelona's semi-final squad, while an 18-year-old defender, Ford, was selected for both matches, but Fati was continuously left out, indicating his low priority in the team's lineup. Barcelona's victory in the Spanish Super Cup can be said to have had no contribution from Fati, yet he remains a champion member of the…

"Football is round, anything can happen!" This phrase perfectly describes the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup on the early morning of January 13th, Beijing time. This "El Clasico" was a fiery football feast that had fans on the edge of their seats, cheering with excitement! Today, let's talk about this match, covering everything from basic information to player performances and future prospects, ensuring you have a comprehensive and multi-dimensional understanding of the game. Firstly, the match took place in the early hours of January 13th, Beijing time, on the stage of the Spanish Super Cup, where the two giants, Barcelona and Real Madrid, once again faced off in a "peak confrontation." The result was a one-sided victory for Barcelona, who won 5-2 against Real Madrid. Although the location wasn't mentioned, the excitement of the match had football fans around the world buzzing! Moving on to the player performances, which were more thrilling than any movie! Starting with Real Madrid's Mbappe, the French superstar immediately made his presence felt by scoring in the 5th minute with his incredible speed, leaving Barcelona's defense scrambling. Despite the large score deficit, Mbappe remained undeterred, breaking through and forcing Barcelona's goalkeeper Szczesny to commit a foul, earning a red card. His courage was reminiscent of a "lone hero," indirectly assisting Rodrigo in scoring a goal. His individual performance was outstanding, but unfortunately, the team still lost, which could be described as "a single tree cannot make a forest." Now, let's talk about Barcelona's Gavi, the young talent who is…

Within a single day, Real Madrid suffered a double blow from their old rivals! Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 5-2, causing the "Galactic Battleship" to lose the Spanish Super Cup title. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid won 1-0 against Osasuna, quietly achieving an 8-game winning streak, surpassing Real Madrid in the league table to top La Liga and secure the mid-season championship. Barcelona now seems to have a very aggressive spirit, always getting fired up when playing against Real Madrid. Including this match, Barcelona has scored more than 5 goals against Real Madrid four times this century, while Real Madrid has not done so even once. In fact, whether it's losing the Spanish Super Cup or dropping to the top of the league, these are not crucial as the season is still long. The key point is that they inadvertently provided assistance to their neighbors in their time of need. This is simply unbearable! Barcelona's lineup has height, strength, and speed in the frontcourt, with a combination of flanks and center, which Real Madrid's defense simply cannot withstand. The comprehensive defeat in this El Clásico match should be attributed to coach Carlo Ancelotti! According to the feeling of Real Madrid players, there is a possibility that Ancelotti could be sacked at any moment! In the past, Real Madrid's defensive lineup included Kroos, Modric, Carvajal, and Alaba, who could still rely on Nacho even when injured. However, the current awkward situation in the frontcourt is that the forwards generally cannot hold their positions centrally, with too many missing elements. Only Mbappé can capitalize on…

17:10 - Flick agrees to Barcelona signing Rashford, who hopes to complete the signing by January 15. Juventus is about to make a second transfer offer for Araujo, increasing the transfer fee to 50 million euros. A Juventus reporter reported that Barcelona had inquired about the possibility of transferring Vlahovic, whom they see as Lewandowski's successor. Gullit said in an interview that De Jong should not be a substitute at Barcelona and should seriously consider his future, with Bayern being very suitable for him. 17:00 - A Real Madrid reporter reported that the team's 2:5 loss to Barcelona did not affect Ancelotti and will not change the club's transfer plans. If Ancelotti fails to win the La Liga or Champions League title this season, Xabi Alonso will join to replace him in the summer window. 16:56 - Al Nassr offers Nunez a weekly salary of 400,000 pounds, while Nunez currently earns 140,000 pounds per week at Liverpool. Kyle Walker rejected a contract offer of 400,000 pounds per week from a Saudi team and hopes to continue playing in Europe. 16:35 - Napoli has offered 45 million euros for Garnacho, while Manchester United's asking price exceeds 60 million euros. Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli have reached an agreement on the transfer of Kvaratskhelia, with a transfer fee of 70 million euros plus variable bonuses.

Araujo, who has been a key player for Barcelona and considered by fans as a future top-tier defender, seems to have had a falling out with the club. Barcelona is now aware that Araujo will not be renewing his contract and is looking to resolve the issue of his departure. The team's situation this season has been relatively good, with Lewandowski attempting to persuade Araujo to stay until after they win the championship. However, Araujo declined Lewandowski's offer and bid farewell to his Barcelona teammates after the Spanish Super Cup. Juventus and Araujo have reached an agreement on personal terms, leaving only the negotiation of the transfer fee between Barcelona and Juventus. Araujo's abilities are undoubtedly top-notch; otherwise, Barcelona wouldn't have focused on training him and offered him a top-level contract. But due to his physical issues and frequent injuries over the years, Barcelona is cautious about offering him the highest salary within the team during this renewal period, which led to Araujo wanting to leave abruptly. Juventus, however, remains confident in Araujo, believing that with high wages and guaranteed playing time, he can become the best defender in the world. As Barcelona's captain, Araujo's decision to leave during the winter transfer window has had a negative impact. Barcelona has been unable to convince him to stay, and Juventus initially offered only 45 million euros. However, with Barcelona unwilling to let him go, Juventus increased their offer to 50 million euros, indicating that they are prepared to let Araujo go.

In the world of football, miracles often arrive in the most unexpected ways. Sometimes, a seemingly ordinary teenager can shine brightly on the green field and become the focus of attention. Today, we are going to tell the story of such a miraculous young man - Pedri, a name that has written legends at FC Barcelona despite not coming from the La Masia youth academy. Emerging Brilliance: The Shining New Star of Las Palmas Rewind to the summer of 2019, when Pedri was just a 16-year-old boy playing for Spanish club Las Palmas. Despite his young age, he had already shown extraordinary football talent and calm judgment. Every touch and pass on the field revealed an innate football intelligence. However, Las Palmas was only a mid-table team in Spain's top league, and for Pedri, who yearned for a higher stage, it was just the starting point of his football career. He needed a bigger platform to showcase his talents and fulfill his dreams. The Favor of the Giants: Barcelona's Discerning Eye It was then that FC Barcelona extended an olive branch to Pedri. Although his market value was only 5 million euros at the time, Barcelona was willing to pay a transfer fee as high as 23 million euros. This decision caused quite a stir at the time. Many questioned Barcelona's decision, believing it was an overpriced deal. However, Barcelona's management firmly believed that Pedri had the potential to become a world-class star. To be cautious, after buying Pedri, Barcelona loaned him back to Las Palmas for a year. During…

Barcelona has actually performed quite well this season, but due to a lack of experience among these young players in the middle of the season, their results have also experienced a decline. However, Barcelona is now also seeking to strengthen their team. Among them, Barcelona suddenly launched a strong pursuit of Rashford because everyone knows that after Amorim took over Manchester United, Rashford completely fell out of favor. The new Manchester United coach is very dissatisfied with players who have problems with their attitude. Therefore, they want to use Rashford as an example and directly clean him out. So currently, Manchester United is not prepared to continue giving Rashford any opportunities. As the crown prince of Manchester United, Rashford has ultimately fallen into the result of being cleaned out. It is really sighing for the fans. But now it seems that Manchester United is also ready to handle this forward who was once valued at 100 million euros at a low price. Rashford has received high appreciation from Barcelona's coach Flick. He is very hopeful to sign Rashford as a reinforcement. In fact, when Flick coached Bayern Munich back then, he had a special preference for Rashford. Now that he can get this player at a low price, he is naturally willing to take a risk. Flick can then arrange for Rashford to play as a left winger or central midfielder, or even as a substitute for Lewandowski to play as a center forward. This signing is quite cost-effective. In fact, Rashford's abilities are still there. Now it's time for…

Due to Lewandowski showing signs of aging, Barcelona needs to find a suitable center forward rotation or a qualified central attacking player. Considering Barcelona's limited budget, obtaining Rashford through a loan might be a good solution. If this transfer is completed, it has the potential to benefit Barcelona, Manchester United, and Rashford in the next six months. Lewandowski's value at Barcelona extends beyond scoring goals; he also contributes significantly through his frequent withdrawals, ball control, and link-up play. Rashford possesses some ability to withdraw into midfield, although he does not typically occupy the central position, often positioning himself closer to the midfield flanks or even the wings. However, one crucial aspect is that Rashford performs well with long passes and ball distribution after withdrawing, and he can quickly return to the front line. This makes Rashford a tactically reasonable choice as a rotational option for Lewandowski. There is an issue, though: Rashford is reluctant to participate in defense. He has low efficiency in high pressing and often stands still when tracking back on the flanks. This makes it challenging for Rashford to play as Barcelona's winger or as the central striker for the full 90 minutes (without high pressing, dribbling can lead to easy turnovers). He is more likely to be used as a substitute. It's worth noting that in recent matches, Lewandowski is often substituted around the 60-70-minute mark, which has become Flick's standard practice. This provides Rashford with stable playing time and a defined role as a late-game substitute. Another important point is that Rashford's value lies in…

In the final of the 2024-25 season Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid faced off against Barcelona. As the defending champions, Real Madrid had triumphed over Barcelona with a 4:1 victory the previous year and now boasted an even stronger squad, led by new summer signing Kylian Mbappe, alongside Vinicius, Bellingham, and Rodrygo, forming a formidable quartet. On the Barcelona side, the frontline was still led by Lewandowski, Rafinha, and Ilaix Moriba, with Olmo and Paul Victor, who were successfully registered on a temporary basis, waiting on the bench. Barcelona's recent form has been poor, and they have been experiencing a tumultuous period since the start of the new year, making Real Madrid the more favored team. However, it should not be forgotten that just over two months ago in the La Liga match, Real Madrid suffered a humiliating 0:4 defeat at home to Barcelona under the guidance of coach Flick, with both teams fielding similar squads to the current ones. The match started with a dream opening for Real Madrid, as their usual counter-attack saw Vinicius and Mbappe connect to score the first goal within just five minutes. However, this turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare! From the 22nd to the 48th minute, Barcelona scored five consecutive goals, leaving Real Madrid stunned once again. In the 56th minute, goalkeeper Szczesny was sent off, leaving Barcelona with one less player. Despite having an extra man, Real Madrid could only avoid a more devastating defeat. Lacking spirit, Real Madrid ultimately suffered a crushing 2:5 defeat and missed out on…
