Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick raised eyebrows ahead of Saturday's crucial La Liga encounter against Athletic Club by opting to leave several of his heavyweight stars on the bench. With the title race heating up and a heavy fixture list looming, the German tactician decided to rest Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Pedri for the daunting trip to San Mames, choosing instead to entrust Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford with the primary goal-scoring responsibilities.

Robert Lewandowski has opened up about his Barcelona team-mate Marcus Rashford, praising the England star’s talent, work ethic, and character. From training ground impressions to ping-pong battles in the dressing room, Lewandowski has revealed how confidence and support are the two keys to unlocking Rashford's "huge potential".

As Harry Kane edges closer to Robert Lewandowski’s iconic Bundesliga single-season goals record, the Polish legend has broken his silence on the Bayern Munich striker’s pursuit. Rather than feeling threatened, Lewandowski has offered praise, pride, and a powerful insight into what truly makes a world-class striker.

Robert Lewandowski has finally opened up on his future at Barcelona as his current contract at Camp Nou nears its expiry date, sparking intense speculation across the footballing world. The 37-year-old has seen his playing time reduced under Hansi Flick this season, and says he is taking a patient and calculated approach to his next professional step.

Harry Kane’s relentless pursuit of Bundesliga history has hit a significant snag following news that the England captain will miss Bayern Munich's upcoming clash with Borussia Monchengladbach. The 32-year-old’s absence represents a major blow for Vincent Kompany as the clinical forward was closing in on the all-time single-season scoring mark.
