Barcelona have been left sweating over the fitness of Raphinha after the winger suffered a worrying injury blow while representing Brazil. The Catalan giants are reportedly livid with how the Selecao boss Carlo Ancelotti has managed their star man's workload during a busy international window.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has lifted the lid on the club's unsuccessful attempt to lure Lautaro Martinez away from Inter during the summer transfer window. The Catalan giants identified the Argentine talisman as a priority target but were ultimately forced to abandon their pursuit following firm resistance from the Nerazzurri hierarchy.

Barcelona forward Raphinha has been withdrawn from the Brazil squad ahead of Saturday's friendly meeting with India after sustaining a muscle problem. The Selecao captain converted a penalty in Tuesday's 4-2 triumph over Australia before being withdrawn at the interval, with tests confirming swelling in his troublesome right thigh.

Luis de la Fuente has lauded the selfless nature of Lamine Yamal’s "magic" after the teenage superstar spearheaded a dominant 4-1 victory for Spain against Croatia. The Barcelona winger was the catalyst in Seville, ensuring the world champions extended their historic unbeaten streak to 40 matches in emphatic fashion.
