🎙Luis Rojo: "The earliest Raphinha could return from injury would be against Osasuna on May 2nd. The idea is for him to play a few minutes in that match and be in optimal condition to face Real Madrid on May 10th." ✅️

📌 FC Barcelona has won the MOST titles in the history of the Copa del Rey! 🏆 👉🏽 Their 32 trophies put them well ahead of Athletic Club (24 titles) and Real Madrid (20 titles).

🎙Matteo Moretto: "Robert Lewandowski is highly likely to leave Barcelona after this season. While no final decision has been made, all signs point toward a departure, and the club is already preparing for a future without him." ❌️

🎙Matteo Moretto: "There's no consensus at AC Milan regarding Lewandowski. He's not a priority for Milan because of his age and salary." ❌️

🎙Luis Rojo: "Marc Bernal is expected to be ready for the Celta Vigo match." ✅️

"For the last 2 years, models and sketches are modified to show a clean roof without the club crest or sponsor lettering. While the roof won't have a giant light-up logo, the stadium is still officially named Spotify Camp Nou as part of the club's landmark sponsorship deal."

"The illuminated letters were deemed a potential hazard as they could distract pilots or interfere with flight paths, given the stadium's proximity to various flight corridors in Barcelona."

🎙Víctor Malo: "In the original design, FC Barcelona planned to place an illuminated "Spotify Camp Nou" logo on the stadium roof. However, the Spanish Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) rejected the idea and prohibited it." ❌ 👀

📌 Seydou Dembélé (18), a rising star in Malian football, is expected to join Barcelona. The player is expected to arrive in Spain in the coming days to sign a contract with the club. 🇲🇱 [Africafoot_com]

📌 Tuttosport | Bastoni wants to move to Barcelona, not for financial reasons—because he would accept the same salary he has at Inter—nor because of the boos he receives in Italian stadiums. 🇮🇹 👉🏽 The reason is that he sees a move to Barcelona as an important step in his career.

🎙Bakero: "Barça has a wonderful project, a team capable of making history, but they need to add a leadership element to it. Two or three experienced players with leadership qualities can help the entire team progress."

"The players need to take a step forward, and this will be easier if there is a leader in the team rather than just young players. A player with a clear leadership role can help the team."

🎙Bakero continues: "The goalkeeper must direct the defense and is responsible for the major positioning decisions… that is just one example, but it can be applied to the other players."

"Our current goalkeeper is having an excellent season, but he needs to take the next step by taking the reins."

🎙Bakero: "This is what is called the silent evolution. For example, the conversations between the goalkeeper and the center-backs… the goalkeeper's role isn't limited to stopping shots, but concerns the proper functioning of the entire defensive system through their advice."

"It doesn’t matter if that type of player is slow… the essential thing is that they understand what they are doing on the pitch and know how to speak up. And let me tell you an important point: the development of a football team happens in the locker room, among the players."

🎙Bakero: "Currently, there are young players, but we have missed someone like Araújo, who has seen a drop in form despite being an important leader. We need a strong personality on the pitch… intelligent players capable of making decisions."
