"2025 was a special year for Barcelona in many ways, for it will go down as the time when Hansi Flick's plans truly came to fruition.

He will have to fight it out against at least three contenders to hold on to his post.

Finally, Laporta made a large-hearted wish for the greater good, not only of the players but the world as a whole."
"Barcelona will kick off 2026 in grand style this weekend against Espanyol in La Liga. The derby will be more heated than ever, especially given Joan Garcia's transfer and recent results between the two sides - setting up a massive game."

Barcelona prepares to start 2026 with a heated derby against Espanyol, intensified by Joan Garcia's transfer and recent competitive results between the clubs.
