Another look on Barcelona's 7-2 win vs Newcastle last night

Aitor Cantalapiedra was one of the few players to debut for the Barcelona first team while the B-team was fighting for survival in the third tier. A classic left-footed winger with an eye for goal, he made his first-team debut under Luis Enrique in 2015. Despite being the top scorer for the reserves, he was released in a mid-season overhaul, a move that sent him on a journey through some of Europe's most passionate football cultures. ​His career has been defined by his ability to become a cult hero abroad, even as he drifted further from the Spanish spotlight. ​The Post-Barça Reality: ​• Twente: He found his scoring boots in the Netherlands, netting 13 goals to lead Twente to promotion and following it up with a strong Eredivisie campaign. ​• Panathinaikos: He reached his peak in Greece. Aitor became a legend in Athens, scoring the winning goal in the 2022 Greek Cup Final and recording a historic hat-trick in 2023. He left as one of the league's most respected creative forces. ​• The Brazilian Leap: In a surprising move in July 2025, Aitor left Europe behind to sign with EC Vitória in Brazil's Série A. ​Current Status (2026): Now 30 years old, Aitor is navigating the intense calendar of Brazilian football. He recently scored his first goal of the 2026 season in a 3-0 win against Galícia and remains a key creative outlet for Vitória in the Campeonato Baiano and the national Série A. ​Aitor’s path shows that there is a massive world beyond La Liga. From the Camp Nou to the KNVB Beker and the raucous stadiums of Greece and Brazil, he has proven that a La Masia education can translate into success in almost any environment. 🇪🇸🇳🇱🇬🇷🇧🇷⚽

The correct answer is Aitor Cantalapiedra. Congratulations to @_gabrielbcr4, who was the only one to answer correctly 👏

❗️ The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) continues to work intensively to finalise the second friendly match of the first FIFA international window, which begins next Monday. The first match already has a date and time: it will take place on March 27 at 21:00 at the Estadio de la Cerámica in Villarreal. The situation is quite different for the second match against Egypt. The RFEF has been negotiating with Egypt for days regarding this fixture. Egypt was the opponent initially planned in case the “Finalissima” had been played in Qatar. Via (🟢): @RamonFuentes74 [md]

🎙️ Thierry Henry on Barcelona’s dominant win over Newcastle 🗣️: “Congratulations Barcelona, Europe is starting to feel the danger. When a team catches fire, it leaves nothing behind. What happened is not just a victory, it is a global earthquake, on a night that will go down in history.” 🗣️: “What kind of second half is this? A complete transformation. Barcelona played with a different personality. This is the real Barcelona. When it wants to, it does everything. They are an incredible team. It’s like we are seeing Johan Cruyff’s Dream Team again. Newcastle collapsed under such attacking intensity. Stopping Barcelona like this is almost impossible.”
