Barcelona

Barcelona missed the opportunity to return to the top of La Liga following a goalless draw at Valencia.

It's his 13th goal of the season and looks sure to restore Barca's place at the top of La Liga! Correia whips in an early cross and it appears Andre fails to make a connection with the ball allowing Lino to slot it home at the far post. The Poland talisman stretches to meet Raphinha's cross and score in the 93rd minute. The 34-year-old was incredibly unfortunate not to give Barcelona the lead in the first half, which would have prevented all the late drama. Lewandowski will have sent the travelling supporters home happy with his late heroics, but on reflection, the victory has come at a cost. The 19-year-old was through on goal but couldn’t find a way past onrushing goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, and minutes later he found the back of the net but was clearly in an offside position, cutting short his celebrations.

Jules Kounde has said he did not think his injury was 'anything serious' after his early withdrawal from play on Saturday. The Frenchman left Barcelona's ...

And their commitment is maximal.' I think they should think more about the players.' It seems that it is not an injury, it is rather strong discomfort. There are too many games but we are not the ones in charge. Jules Koundé has made a tremendous effort, we have pushed him and it is normal. Xavi praised the commitment of his Barcelona players despite the World Cup on the horizon

France and Barcelona defender Jules Koundé has been substituted after apparently hurting his leg during Saturday's Spanish league match at Valencia.

Sometimes those in charge don’t think about the players.” He walked off on his own power when replaced by Gerard Pique. “I believe that we are going a bit crazy with so many games.

Barcelona needed a late winner from Robert Lewandowski to get a win over Valencia. Here are three talking points from the match.

Too often, the plan seems to get the ball out wide and hoping that a cross reaches Lewandowski to put it away. In the occasions where he would get the ball on the left, he’d try to dribble inside the box only to be snuffed out by the defense or have his attempt on goal blocked. He’s silenced some of the doubters and a contract extension is now on the cards. Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha both started out the season strong. From Raphinha’s cross, he leapt in the air with an outstretched leg to flick the ball past the keeper. Heading into the season, Jordi Alba seemed to have the left-back position covered.

FC Barcelona lost to Bayern Munich 0-3 at the Camp Nou in their group match in the UEFA Champions League last Wednesday, bowing out of the competition ...

It is no coincidence that Barça has not reached the final of the Champions League, let alone win it, in the last seven years. The likes of Gerard Pique are lauded for their passing skills and ability to play forward balls and the veteran Sergio Busquets is quite often the deep-lying playmaker who initiates moves from his own half. Gnabry could have scored more from crosses that Kimmich kept delivering into the box and had even found the net once before the official raised his flag. Barcelona conceded the first two goals from counter-attacks as Bayern sliced through their defensive line after Barça tried to increase numbers in the opposition half. Bayern themselves inflicted a heavy defeat on the Catalan side during their triumphant campaign in the Champions League in the 2019-20 season. Inter Milan won quite convincingly at the San Siro to become the second team to qualify from that group after Bayern.
