Following the club's decision to end its relationship with the European Super League Company and to formally submit its application for readmission, the EFC Board of Directors has unanimously approved the reinstatement of FC Barcelona, ​​in accordance with its Statutes.

The first half was tough for us. Obviously, the first goal was an incredible misfortune. After that, they came out more focused, with more attitude... against a rival like Atlético, it's difficult with this advantage," he added.

No one can be considered a true fan of a sports team unless they believe the rest of the world is trying to get them. The "us versus them" mentality helps fuel our love for our favorite teams, which makes it even sweeter when that one enemy we hate above all others is finally conquered. Barcelona have had to deal with quite a few villains in their history, with their connection to Catalonia inviting some extra challenges that went far beyond normal sports competition.

William Maddock says he has a signing lined up "of the level of Ronaldinho or Beckham." Maddock is a Barcelona-based businessman and club member who has emerged as a surprise pre-candidate in the presidential race "It's a real bombshell," he said. At Barça, invoking Ronaldinho is kind of a big deal. Mentioning him and Beckham together inevitably brings back memories of 2003, when Joan Laporta campaigned on the English star before pivoting to the Brazilian who changed the club's trajectory.

Barcelona's search for young defensive talent has led the club to closely monitor several promising full-backs across Europe. One of the names that has recently gained attention inside the club's offices is Daniel Banjaqui, a 17-year-old right-back currently developing at Benfica. In recent weeks, the Portuguese prospect has been strongly linked with a possible move to Camp Nou. The interest comes at a time when the club is evaluating whether it is the right moment to invest in a long-term option for the full-back position.

Hansi Flick's side were 4-0 down at half-time after a frankly awful first-half display but thought they'd found a way back into the match when Pau Cubarsi pulled one back in the second half. The goal was originally given but then checked by VAR. The check went on and on and on and after eight minutes the officials finally managed to find a reason to disallow the goal.

Negotiations for young talents are rarely simple, especially when players already have clear sporting ambitions. Many of them prefer immediate first-team opportunities rather than spending time in reserve sides. That appears to have been a decisive factor in Nijstad's case. The 18-year-old has already taken important steps at a senior level. He has featured in 12 first-team matches for Twente, starting several of them, which has helped him gain valuable experience in professional football at a very young age.

Barcelona captain and defender Ronald Araujo has received a bout of confidence after scoring an important goal against Albacete in the Copa del Rey. It was a much-needed redemption for a player who has struggled with anxiety, depression and online harassment ever since making a silly error against Chelsea during the first half of the campaign. The online criticism of Araujo was such that the defender had to opt for an indefinite time out to combat his mental health struggles.
