Christensen, 29, made his first start since September in Tuesday's Copa del Rey tie against Guadalajara, scoring the first goal in the 2-0 win.

Madrid president Florentino Perez used his Christmas address to draw attention to the Negreira case, the refereeing corruption charge against Barcelona. Perez referred to it as the "biggest scandal in the history of football" and called for the Blaugrana to be punished, which is the opposite of the 2024 address in which he claimed Madrid and Barcelona needed to stick together.

Barcelona have the chance to move seven points clear of Real Madrid - for 24 hours at least - when they host Osasuna this evening. Hansi Flick's men have moved through the gears in recent weeks, winning all six La Liga games since their Clasico defeat to Madrid in October. Osasuna finally ended a run of six league games without a victory when they saw off Levante 2-0 on Monday night.

Honestly, with the work he's doing, can you imagine if he wins something at the end of the season? I'd probably say, okay, that's okay. In my case, after almost seven years, I have achieved it with Arsenal. I think it's time to look for something else'. I would understand. Well, look, Barcelona is one of the best clubs in the world. I will return to Spain and the lifestyle is good for my family'.

Ronald is not ready at the moment. It's a private situation. I don't want to say more. Please also respect it. This is what I can say and what I want to say.

But for Flick's men, the start could hardly have been more disastrous, conceding after inside the first minute when Pablo Ibanez tapped home from close range for the visitors following a corner. The lead, however, lasted little over seven minutes. Pouncing on a loose ball across the Alavez box, Yamal lashed an effort high into the net from just a few yards out to get the hosts back on level terms and bag his first goal back at the Camp Nou.

There's little doubt in my mind that had hoped to finally celebrate the completion of its acquisition of Juniper Networks at HPE Discover Las Vegas in June. Unfortunately for the companies, the deal was only finally sealed on 2 July. For this reason, I am as certain as I can be that the acquisition of Juniper and how it's being integrated into HPE's existing stable of products will be on the agenda.

Last week the club posted a video, external on X captioned 'Welcome to the Ciutat Esportiva, Jerome Boateng' in which the he was seen hugging and talking to former team-mate Robert Lewandowski during training.

Ask anyone in Catalonia about last April - they'll remember. A massive blackout left thousands suddenly powerless in every sense: no lights, no banking, no news, not even a way to heat water for a cup of tea. Shops shut down, lifts froze between floors, and digital-life-as-we-know-it simply... stopped. Now, Catalonia's government is saying something many didn't expect to hear from officials: Be prepared. Just in case it happens again.

Litmanen's seven-year spell at Ajax saw the Finnish forward establish himself as one of Europe's best players, as the Dutch side's punt on the young MyPa star in 1992 more than paid off. Litmanen would net 129 goals in 228 appearances for the club, helping them win four Eredivisie titles and three KNVB Cups domestically, with that side's crowning achievement being the 1995 Champions League victory under boss Louis van Gaal.

The high-risk, high-reward defense has been Flick's trademark as a manager, and Barcelona has, by both design and necessity, adopted it with striking intensity. Flick's mantra is simple: Play a high line, try to catch opponents offside, and if and when it fails, just out-score them on the other end. This, I'd say, broadly worked last season.

If you were anywhere near Barcelona at 10 a.m. on Monday, November 3, you probably jumped out of your skin when your phone suddenly started buzzing. You weren't alone. More than five million mobile phones across Catalonia received the same loud, startling message - a mass emergency alert test carried out by the Generalitat's Civil Protection department ( Protecció Civil). The alert, part of Spain's ES-Alert public warning system, reached people in Barcelonès, Baix Llobregat, Maresme, Vallès Occidental and Vallès Oriental, making it the largest drill ever conducted by the Catalan government. Even those just passing through on a motorway or train heard their devices blare the familiar emergency tone.
