Deco took part in a charity match in Castelldefels to support disadvantaged children. He declined to comment on Atlético's Julián Álvarez, insisting Barcelona will not speak about players from other clubs and must focus on its own squad. He said Barcelona must be prepared to compete every year, accepting it cannot win every season but must never stop competing, and that the current team can challenge a strengthening Real Madrid. Deco noted the return of injured forwards has improved performance. He described Raphinha as an important, inspiring and fundamental player and left Robert Lewandowski's contract extension open as the striker's deal approaches its end of season expiry.
