FC Barcelona official statement - FC Barcelona The Board of Directors has agreed to call elections for the club presidency on Sunday 15 March 2026.

Pedri injury update - FC Barcelona
From a sporting perspective, Tavares fits a profile Barcelona have been actively targeting in recent years. He is a powerful, right-footed left winger who is comfortable playing on his weaker side, giving him a natural tendency to attack central spaces. In addition, he can also operate as a centre-forward when required. Despite his young age, Tavares already stands out physically. His advanced build has allowed him to compete at a high level against opponents two or even three years older.
Planning ahead for the upcoming summer transfer window, Barcelona have one eye on young strikers who can serve as a pillar of the team's project for long-term planning. After all, Robert Lewandowski is slowly but surely nearing the end of his playing career and Barcelona does not want to be left hanging when he does eventually call it a day. Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, on that front, has emerged as an option that the Catalans are seriously interested in.
After having endured a difficult last season at FC Barcelona, Ansu Fati left the club in the summer to join AS Monaco on a year-long loan. Having had a slow start, the La Masia forward burst into form and scored some important goals for the Ligue 1 outfit. But with the managerial change, his standing within the team went down again, stopping him from building on his promising form.
While all the attention was on Fermin Lopez and Robert Lewandowski for their goals, Marcus Rashford also raised some eyebrows late on, notably providing a sublime assist for Lewandowski's goal in the 70th minute. The 28-year-old winger, currently on loan from Manchester United, is indeed posting the best numbers of his career in Europe's elite competition. With his latest assist in Prague, the Englishman has now been directly involved in 7 of Barcelona's 18 goals in the tournament.
"In the first half, we were dangerous in some situations. We fought honestly with some players. We didn't allow our opponents much. They lost a lot of balls and we were already running out of energy. If we had handled some situations better, we could have continued to threaten."
Barcelona are preparing for the imminent departure of one of their most highly rated academy prospects, with fresh details now emerging about the situation surrounding Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez. A report from MARCA has shed further light on how the club and coaching staff are handling the final stages of what looks set to be a January exit. Despite enjoying the full confidence of Hansi Flick, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder has made it clear that he wants to leave Barcelona immediately.
After facing a defeat against Real Sociedad in La Liga, FC Barcelona will be gunning to return to winning ways when they take on Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League later tonight. Ahead of kickoff in Czechia, Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup that will take the field against the minnows. Roony Bardghji gets a start on the right flank tonight, considering that Lamine Yamal is unavailable due to suspension.
