Joao Cancelo put in another impressive showing for Barcelona against Atletico on Saturday night in La Liga as the Catalan giants ran out 2-1 winners and moved seven points clear at the top of the table.

Barcelona's priorities for the summer transfer window include securing a top-level centre-forward and a reliable left-footed centre-back, with Julian Alvarez and Alessandro Bastoni as primary targets. Alvarez's dynamism and pressing ability complement the frontline, while Bastoni's composure and tactical intelligence strengthen the defense.

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.

Tavares attempted to chase down a long ball he had played ahead of himself, but the situation quickly escalated. Unable to control his momentum, he slipped and collided heavily with the perimeter structure near the pitch.

"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 offered Andreas Christensen a two-year extension, but with a salary reduction of roughly half of his current wages, tied to performance-based variables.

I never had this feeling - I'm not involved in all this social media thing. I think that's a good thing. Every supporter of Barcelona can see it's great to have him in the team. For me it's fantastic to see, because he enjoys training, he enjoys playing with these guys. And he has huge quality.
