Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente revealed that Lamine Yamal was "very sad" to withdraw from the Spanish national team after an invasive radiofrequency therapy this week ruled him out for over a week.

Harry Kane has reportedly emerged as Barcelona's top target to replace ageing striker Robert Lewandowski at the end of the 2025-26 season.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that institutional relations between them and their Clasico rivals Real Madrid "aren't good because they appeared in the Negreira case, presenting irrelevant and inconclusive evidence."

With the World Cup fast approaching, the youngster is hoping to play as many matches as possible.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has been quizzed on the possibility of club legend Lionel Messi returning to the Catalan giants on loan in the January transfer window.

Messi has also spoken about Barcelona in a recent interview and revealed just how much he misses his former home.

Lionel Messi's Instagram picture of his surprise return to Barcelona has already garnered more likes on Instagram than Cristiano Ronaldo's Nations League celebration post.

Lionel Messi has suggested that he finds life in the United States with Inter Miami a little more palatable because the pressure is different and less intense to what he used to face in Europe with Barcelona, and then Paris Saint-Germain.

Aitor Karanka, sporting director of the Spanish football federation (RFEF), assured that there were no tensions between the organisation and Barcelona following Lamine Yamal's shock exit from the Spain squad on Tuesday.

A new report from Spain has underlined the steps Real Madrid are prepared to take as they aim to recover Franco Mastantuono after he was diagnosed with pubalgia, the same injury that has plagued Lamine Yamal in recent weeks.

Lionel Messi left a loved-up couple in Barcelona stunned when casually wandering past them on his way to a secret visit at the revamped Camp Nou.

Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente was bemused following the release of Lamine Yamal from the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, stating that he had "never seen anything like it."

Zinedine Zidane has sparked renewed excitement about his managerial comeback after stating that his return will happen “very soon.” The former Real Madrid coach has been out since 2021, but with Didier Deschamps set to leave the France job after the 2026 World Cup, speculation has intensified. Zidane’s comments at recent events suggest the wait may finally be nearing its end.

Former Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who managed Endrick last season and has now taken charge of the Brazil national team, has encouraged the promising young striker to "see what's best" for him amid his lack of playing time under Xabi Alonso. Reports are suggesting that Endrick could go out on loan in the upcoming winter transfer window to boost his chances of making it to Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad.

Lionel Messi admits that he and wife Antonela Roccuzzo are “constantly talking” about a future return to Barcelona.
