"Harry Kane to Barcelona? I'm not sure because he is very comfortable. He is 32 now and he'll find it more difficult, I think. I would think that he will find it much more difficult because of the tempo of the game and that kind of stuff," Yorke told FootItalia. "I still think he would do well, but he won't do as well as he's doing at Bayern Munich. I would be very wary of that if I was his advisor or one of the people around him."

"Because Barça's defense has many problems with the high line. It's going to be difficult for them," Rami said.

Bernal's priority is clear: he wants to play. After losing almost a full year due to the serious knee injury he suffered in 2024, the midfielder needs minutes and competitive rhythm. Following several months of irregular involvement, Hansi Flick has started to give him playing time again, and if that commitment continues, Bernal's idea is to stay at the club. The coach's opinion will be key in shaping the outcome.

The Blaugrana, who won the title last season by beating Real Madrid handsomely, will be eager to retain the trophy. For that to happen, they must first deal with Athletic Club tonight to secure a place in Sunday's final. Barcelona go into the game on the back of a strong run of results, racking up eight wins in a row in all competitions, most recently beating local rivals Espanyol 2-0 this past weekend.

"For us, the Supercopa is a prize," Valverde said. "It is already a prize to be here and we still want a bigger prize, which would be to be in the final."

The operation will not be straightforward for any club attempting to take Ake out of Manchester during this winter window. The Dutch international is under contract until June 2027 and earns a high salary. One of the main obstacles for Barcelona is that Man City would only listen to offers in the region of €20 million and are unlikely to agree to a loan deal. In addition, other Premier League clubs are also closely monitoring Ake's situation.

It is no secret that Barcelona are on the hunt for defensive reinforcements, either in the ongoing January transfer window or in the coming summer. The club are determined to find replacements for Andreas Christensen and Inigo Martinez. But thanks to the sustained economic problems, the club are ideally looking for cost-effective options. That is perhaps why Barcelona have long been linked with a move for Marc Guehi.

As the world locked down in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, heads of state globally took to television in sombre suits and ties to deliver grave news. Maduro, on the other hand, appeared on Venezuelan state television wearing a full, bright blue FC Barcelona tracksuit. In a video released shortly after, he jokingly pointed to the club crest on his chest, claiming he had been "signed" by the club as a "refuerzo" (reinforcement) for the squad.

Two late goals from Olmo and Lewandowski clinch victory in a tight, intense encounter in which Joan García made several game-saving interventions.

As per the report, Barcelona midfield superstar Pedri will not be a part of the starting lineup to face Espanyol today. The 23-year-old midfielder had missed the Catalans' last game of 2025 against Villarreal due to mild discomfort. However, he has recovered completely from the issue and trained throughout the week and was named in the squad list, along with Dani Olmo.
