Araujo started the game at right-back but asked to be subbed and was replaced by Bernal in the first half of the match in the Spanish capital.

Inter Milan values Alessandro Bastoni highly and has no intention of entertaining offers below €70 million. Losing such a key defender would only be justified by a premium fee.

I'm happy with Marcus, he plays well. The last few weeks he's had problems, he's been injured, so it's an opportunity for him. There are other options, Fermín, Gavi. I'm happy that Gavi is at a great level.

"Playing for Benfica, just like at Barça, is out of love. I have one year left on my contract; if I have to play in Saudi Arabia, I'll play; if I have to play in Europe, I'll play. It will depend on Al Hilal. When Barcelona calls, you can't refuse. I feel at home here; I've adapted very well."

Barcelona has reached an agreement with player Shane Kluivert to renew his contract, which will keep him at the Club for the next two seasons, until June 30, 2028.

It pains me that a figure like Lamine had to go through that. The image Spain has projected is not the one I know. It's a disgrace. Lamine didn't deserve what he went through.

I've already achieved more than I ever expected, but playing for Benfica is like playing basketball - it's all about the love of the game. I'm prepared to take a pay cut.

He's already one of the best in the world, at that age. He's a different kind of player, one we all enjoy every time he plays. I think Barcelona really misses him when Pedri isn't there.

"Eric has been with me in the U19s, U21s, and the Olympics. He's very well-liked by everyone, including me, and he has every chance. He had a minor injury, and perhaps that's why he hasn't come. There are still two months to go, and a lot can happen."

"He's already one of the best in the world at that age. He's a unique player, one we all enjoy watching every time he plays. I think Barcelona really notices it when Pedri isn't there."

We have spoken with Gavi on different occasions. I sent him a message of joy and congratulations when he returned to play. He is a very special player for us.

Yamal didn't take part in Tuesday's training session with the team. Instead he enjoyed a little session with Aymeric Laporte and Marcos Llorente.
