FC Barcelona had a total of eight departures in the last summer transfer window. The need to reduce the wage bill led the board to part ways with players like Sergi Roberto, Marcos Alonso, and İlkay Gündogan. The three left on free transfers, with the case of the German being the most striking as he had a valid contract. Below, we review the 1×1 of the former culés this season. Only Marcos Alonso (Celta) remained in LaLiga.
The German has struggled to regain his star status at Manchester […]
Gündogan, Marc Guiu, Sergi Roberto… The 1×1 of the players who left Barça in the summer

Héctor Fort could have his days numbered at FC Barcelona. At least regarding the current season. The 18-year-old defender has not been able to earn Hansi Flick’s trust and has barely accumulated 369 minutes of action spread over 11 matches.

The major headline news, ahead of the huge La Liga clash on Saturday, concerns FC Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal.

The hero of the first El Clasico (you know, in October versus the bigger other, larger Madrid club), Yamal has been, and will continue to be, very key for the Blaugranes this […]
