📢 Some news
I'm delighted to say that I've joined The Athletic as a FC Barcelona correspondent. It's a lot of responsibility on my shoulders but I can't wait to start such an exciting journey! Thanks to The Athletic for this massive opportunity! 💪
"They (female players) are restructuring what they think needs to be restructured and we are focused on what we have to do, on winning".
Carvajal = 0 World Cup won
Women's National Team = 1 World Cup won
I don't know who is focused on winning, Carvajal.
En el avance de 'Salvados', Gonzo pregunta a Aitana Bonmatí si esperaba más apoyo de los jugadores de fútbol masculino.
💬 Ella dijo "pues no, la verdad es que no".
Cuestionado sobre este fragmento, responde Dani Carvajal.

Pep Guardiola at the Sergio Busquets' farewell ceremony: "As I know you'll soon be a coach, I'll be waiting for you on the bench. Just know that I'll take the ball away from you and that I'll mark your midfield, just know that. You have no other option"

The captains of the Spanish men's national team have basically said that yes, they condemn what Rubiales did, but that they are very focused on what they have to do and that this is very important. What little courage they have...
The day Luis Rubiales embarrassed the whole of Spanish sport with a narcissistic and victimising speech. Focusing on his suffering and on the men who won the World Cup and not on the 23 players who actually did it.
My feelings about it 👇
The conflict with the RFEF is well before Rubiales' kissed Jenni.
Stories from former players such as Vero Boquete, Alicia Fuentes and Natalia Pablos explain why the dream of playing for the Spanish national team was a nightmare.
A brief summary of what happened today.
▪️Montse Tomé presented her first list including players who had asked not to be called up.
▪️She said she had spoken to them, but it wasn't true.
▪️None of them knew anything. Guijarro and Mapi haven't even spoken to her since once.
The RFEF coaching staff joins the players. They denounce that they were forced to attend Rubiales' speech and that the members who were women were put in the front row "exposing their image and trying to make society and players understand that they shared the Rubiales' thesis".
Christensen has been impressing Xavi and the fans lately.
The Danish player's smile is back after a bitter end at Chelsea, which we try to explain with
@polballus
and
@SJohnsonSport
help.
Watching Barça I have the feeling of seeing the same match over and over again.
They have possession but little danger. And the opponent, in two passes, makes the whole team tremble.
Elena Fort, institutional vice-president of FC Barcelona, dissociates herself from the club's (weak) communiqué and personally calls for the resignation of Luis Rubiales.
I considero necessària la seva dimissió immediata.
Calen aires nous !
El veritable problema de tot plegat és que en el seu imaginari ningú ha fet res malament. I aquest és el veritable drama.
Rubiales will resign on Friday.
After countless scandals, something had to happen in front of everyone's eyes to force his departure.
It has taken almost a week to happen, but the good thing is the sense of suffocating pressure generated these days.
We were hard on Alexia Putellas' silence during the World Cup. I was the first one. But it is to her credit that today she is one of the first to take such a stand. This is also what makes someone a leader, maybe now we will begin to understand her silence.
▪️Some news on Spain women's national team
▪️The situation could start to unblock in the next two weeks, with the World Cup in mind
▪️After months of uncertainty many of the 15 players involved are expected to meet with the Spanish Football Federation
Untied shoelaces, a broken nose and myths about Los Palacios tomatoes. The story of when Pablo Páez Gavira became a Gavi.

Ronald Araujo has been one of the main reasons why Barça won La Liga.

28A. El dia que el Barça femení es va citar amb la història i la història va respondre amb un; owwh mama. A Budapest, a l’estadi que va veure debutar a Kubala, hi jugaran la seva primera final de Champions. El mèrit no és poc, enhorabona campiones.
Aitana Bonmatí: "We must not allow abuse of power. We stand with Jenni and all women who have gone through something similar. To all of them, we stand with you"
Irene Paredes before the final: "Practically all or most of us who are here today have grown up thinking that football was a place that didn't belong to us. We seemed to be disturbing, we had to train late at night, we've been coached by people who weren't prepared for it"

There is a club in Barcelona - and it's not Barça or Espanyol - that has tripled its membership since this summer
It was founded to give back to the people the identity that the annexation of their town to Barcelona had taken away
Pau Cubarsi, 17 years old, playing an impeccable match without a single mistake in the Champions League round of 16.
Sergi Roberto, coming off the bench, changing the face of the team.
La Masia is always the solution.
Barça are back in the quarter-finals.
Spain has just beaten Sweden, number 1 in the FIFA Ranking. As in the World Cup, but with different coaches. But then some people say that Jorge Vilda did do something to make Spain champions. These players are going to mark an era, in sporting terms too.
Rolfö was named the 4th best player of 2023, remarkable as she played a Champions League final and a whole World Cup with knee pain
She underwent surgery
The Athletic has followed her recovery process with her and has carried out her psychological diary
Salma Paralluelo quit athletics a year ago. Until then, she combined her athletics competitions with football.
Her athletics coach believes that, if she had chosen athletics, she would have ended up in an Olympic Games final.
She's only 19 years old.
Bojan career was always precocious. He made his first-team debut at the age of 16. Now he is retiring at 32.
At such a young age he became the hope of Barça fans. Too much pressure ended in anxiety
He opened up about mental health. Very interesting to read
The players have announced that they will not play for the Spanish national team again if the same officials are in place.
Jennifer Hermoso denies Rubiales' version of the stolen kiss.

De Jong was one of the best players of the match in Barça's important win over Villarreal.
▪️ 50.55 per cent of Barca’s offensive moves came from his side.
▪️ He made 17 recoveries (his average per game is 6, the same as Busquets).
Gavi is insane.
▪️His performance against Athletic Club reminds me of a story one of his first coaches (
@paumoral_
) at Barça told me about his debut with Barca's under-11 side.

I'm going to be very clear with the videos that are coming out today of Jenni.
1. Jenni was celebrating the fact that she had just won a World Cup. And yes, she was happy for that. SO WHAT?
FC Barcelona have been ordered to pay €22.7million (£19.4m, $24.4m) after they were ruled to have incorrectly paid tax on player agent fees between 2012 and 2015.
Barcelona say they will appeal the National Court’s decision to the Spanish Supreme Court.
Aitana Bonmatí has become the leader that the Spanish national team needed. She is unstoppable. In football terms but also in the communication on the field.
Next Ballon d'Or? I say YES.
Today more than ever, honour to the players. To those who decided to fight and to those who decided to go. To all of them, without exception. To put up with this for so long and to stand alone against this wall of frustration without help is not easy.
Gavi was part of Barça's plan to nullify Bellingham in El Clasico... and he succeeded until 20 minutes from the end of the game.
The midfielder played as a double pivot with Gündogan.
He could have been the MVP but left in tears.

starts today for Spain.
▪️ They have gone through a tough year to get to this moment.
▪️ A protest began in September and is still ongoing for some players.
▪️ Detailed chronology and in-depth information about what happened.
Mai he vist OT (no és per ser pedant, senzillament mai m’hi he posat), però he d’admetre que Amaia sempre m’ha provocat molta curiositat i fascinació, musical i personalment. I el documental que n’ha fet Amazon em sembla deliciós, tenint en compte que tracta d’una noia de 21 anys
Han dit al debat electoral del Barça 150 cops que sóm al segle XXI i que si modernitat i tal, i quan es pregunta per la presència de dones al club es segueix parlant d'elles com si fossin Pokemons que es coleccionessin: "jo en tinc dues", "jo en tinc quatre". En fi.
▪️If the players decided not to go, once called up, they could face financial penalties and have their licenses revoked if repeated a second time.
▪️They have now said in a communiqué that they will not go because they were not given the 15 days' notice required.
It's a shame that the greatest success of Spanish women's football has to be tarnished. As if Vilda and everything that happened before the WWC wasn't enough
If they are really committed to women's football, it's time to take a step back. The best team in the world deserve it
UE Sant Andreu, based in Barcelona, (Segunda RFEF - Spain's fourth division) has become the first club to officially call for the resignation of Luis Rubiales.
It is frustrating how in the biggest success of Spanish women's football the protagonist is still a man. For better or worse, it is always a man
How hard it is to come back to reality after a wonderful World Cup with women in the spotlight for once
So much remains to be done...
The frustration we feel at this discourse is the wall the players have had to come up against for years. I can understand the frustration of those who decided to keep fighting and those who decided to give up.

The four points that prevented Barça from winning the match.
Dimiteixo del futmondo. No l'entenc. Em venc a Joaquín fa 3 jornades perquè no fotia res. Contra el València, golet. Contra el Mallorca, un altre golet. I avui, ja pel recochineo, hat-trick i encara no ha acabat el partit. Jo passo.

Ara que s'acaba una etapa al Camp Nou, recordo aquesta entrada que em va donar el meu avi del dia que es va inaugurar. L'entrada n° 11. Va ser el primer i últim cop que va anar-hi. Preferia escoltar els partits tancat a l'habitació amb la seva ràdio. Un home de costums, suposo.
With the trial of Dani Alves getting closer, we collect and explain the full case.
We detail the alleged sexual assault - What is alleged to have happened?
The alleged victim's version / Alves version
What stage is the case at now?
All the details 👇
Joao Felix was the best against Cadiz and asked for a place in the line-up against PSG.
▪️ His bicycle kick
▪️ He denied with his performance that he would only play well against big teams that motivate him
We interviewed Chyhrynski at Shakhtar's training hotel in Hamburg before facing Barça
He looks back on his time at Barça and the extreme self-demanding nature of a young player. What was his relationship with the city, what went right and what went wrong
2. A woman victim of sexual abuse first tries to deny to herself that it happened because she does NOT want to become a victim
3. If she normalizes something like this it is because they have had to normalize treatment that they DID NOT WANT for many years
"Being self-demanding has helped me get this far but it has also made me suffer"
Two months ago she won the Champions League being the best player of the tournament, now is one game away from being World Champion
Exclusive interview with
@AitanaBonmati
Barça's Champions stage fright strikes again in Hamburg.
There were no ideas in creation or attack, no player mobility, no pressure, no intensity and, worst of all, there was little real intent.
Després de veure cert tractament mediàtic de les prèvies/posts de Copa cap a equips no habituals en aquesta competició, dir que agraeixo conèixer i treballar en altres categories que no siguin només l’elit. El desconeixement general d’altres realitats que hi ha és increïble...
Aitana Bonmatí had won the Champions League (+ MVP of the tournament), the league, the Spanish Super Cup and the World Cup (+ MVP). Little more can be done to win all the individual awards
