For the fourth consecutive season, the final will once again feature a Clásico showdown, with Barcelona standing between Madrid and the trophy. From a Barcelona perspective, this fixture has become a familiar and often rewarding stage in recent years. The Blaugrana dismantled Real Madrid in last season's Super Cup final, and that memory continues to linger as both teams prepare for another high-stakes meeting on Sunday.

Nosaltres argues that the department led by Sergi Atienza has not intervened in operations it considers ethically questionable. Instead, it claims the compliance department has focused on tracking comments made by club members. "It seems more concerned with looking at social media than with investigating the many questionable operations that have taken place at the club from an ethical and even legal point of view," the platform said in a statement.

Dro's current contract runs until 2027, and Barça's intention is to follow the same pathway they applied with players such as Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi, renewing and upgrading their deals as soon as they were of legal age. With this move, the Blaugrana want to reinforce their commitment to La Masia and protect themselves from potential interest from other clubs tracking Dro's development.

As part of a press briefing, FC Barcelona have released some crucial updates regarding their transfer plans for the future. The Blaugrana are planning to trigger Marcus Rashford's €30 million buy clause to keep him at the club permanently. Meanwhile, they also intend to offer a one-year extension to Andreas Christensen, whose current contract expires in June. Marc Bernal could leave on loan

The players are due to report on Monday and would only become available again on Thursday, without having taken part in the build-up to the Copa match in the preceding days. As such, if Hansi Flick was planning to give minutes to Torrents and Dro, the club would need to negotiate with the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to secure their release from the youth national team squads.

After the win over Athletic Club, Hansi Flick has openly acknowledged that there is no clarity yet over whether Lewandowski will remain at the club beyond the end of the season, when his current contract expires. "I don't know where Robert Lewandowski will be next season. I'm really happy with him, but I am honest too. I spoke with him," he said, as quoted by MARCA. "We'll see what happens and we'll decide at the end of the season."

It will be very difficult to choose the goalkeeper of the Spanish national team for the World Cup. The one who does not go -Joan Garcia- is undoubtedly the best. The one who is on the bench - David Raya - is fantastic and the starter is the one who generates the most doubts right now. The starter generates doubts in his club, and in the national team, it seems that he does not.
