Earlier in the summer, everyone had predicted Robert Lewandowski to continue playing an integral role in Hansi Flick’s attacking setup this season. However, three games into the new season, the Pole looks to have lost a bit of prominence owing to Ferran Torres’ impressive form. After missing the first game due to injury, Lewandowski returned to action late in the second game as a substitute. He was expected to start against Rayo Vallecano, but Flick once again started with Ferran. In a recent interview, Lewandowski indicated that the season begins in September, but it is clear that Barcelona are…
It is often said that not all goalkeepers are built to succeed at Barcelona, for the Catalan club demands a very specific style of play from the man who guards the posts. For a team that plays with fire on attacks, dominates possession and builds up from the last man, a goalkeeper for the club requires not only elite shot-stopping skills but also top-notch ball-playing skills and precise decision-making in terms of sweeping movements. Finding such qualities in a single profile, for long, was thought to be impossible on the transfer market, but Joan Garcia’s initial games for the…

FC Barcelona are beginning to plan for life after Robert Lewandowski, currently the team’s first-choice striker. The Pole is in his fourth season at the club and his contract stands to expire on June 30, 2026. Although a short-term extension is not ruled out, the general feeling is that this could be the centre-forward’s final year in Catalonia. As such, Barça’s sporting department, led by Deco, is preparing for the transition. It was previously reported that the La Liga champions intend to go big on a successor for Lewandowski next summer, with names like Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland…

Real Madrid signing Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund immediately opened up conversations about who was better between him and Barcelona’s Pedri – both Golden Boy winners and vital parts of their team dynamics at a young age. It is indeed unfair to compare the duo, especially given that they have played starkly different roles over the past year. While Pedri has served as part of Barcelona’s double-pivot, Bellingham has played a more attack-oriented direct role. What is clear, however, is that both youngsters are amongst the best talents in world football and they could, in fact, have been playing…
