Hansi Flick has lauded the burgeoning talent within Barcelona's youth ranks following a surprising 1-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Deportivo Alaves. Although the result officially ends the newly-crowned La Liga champions' ambitions of reaching a historic 100-point milestone, the German coach remained upbeat regarding the development of his squad's fringe players.
Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste has delivered a blistering response to Florentino Perez, labelling the Real Madrid president’s recent corruption allegations as "pathetic." The war of words between the Clasico rivals has escalated following Perez's sensational claims that numerous trophies have been "stolen" from the capital club.
Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa has jumped to the defence of Vinicius Junior after the Brazilian forward successfully navigated a hostile atmosphere at the Bernabeu to score the winning goal against Alaves in La Liga on Tuesday. Despite the tension following a disappointing Champions League exit, the winger proved to be the difference-maker as Los Blancos secured a vital victory in their pursuit of catching Barcelona.
