Elche take on Real Sociedad in the LaLiga. Here’s how you can secure your tickets

Raphinha has quickly clarified his intention following suggestions that his Spider-Man celebration against Elche was a secret nod to Barcelona transfer target Julian Alvarez. The Brazilian forward struck twice in a dominant victory and has now revealed a heartwarming, family-oriented reason behind his viral post-match gesture, putting an end to the swirling social media speculation.

Barcelona midfielder Gavi was forced off in tears during his team's 5-0 victory over Elche in their La Liga opener, raising immediate fears of another serious problem. Head coach Hansi Flick has offered an update on the young Spaniard's condition after he injured the very same right knee that previously sidelined him for almost a year.

Alejandro Balde was left out of Barcelona's squad for their 5-0 win over Elche after Hansi Flick questioned his focus. Following reports that the left-back has made the decision to leave Camp Nou, interest from Manchester United has quickly surfaced, casting a shadow over the start of Barcelona's La Liga title defence.
