After 11 minutes, Eric Garcia was sent off for a last-man challenge following a subpar pass from goalie Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Pedri claimed there was a misunderstanding between the two players and declined to assign blame. “It was a communication error between the two, it can happen, we have to move on and try to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” he told the media. “With one less player we have run three times as much and we have to recover, I’m sure that on Sunday we will be fine.” Even though Barca suffered their first setback of the year,…
In anticipation of his Champions League debut, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has selected a star-studded starting lineup for their encounter against AS Monaco on Thursday. Flick has previously decided on his starting lineup, but he had to make a significant change due to recent events. Due to Dani Olmo’s injury, Flick will have to modify his original plans, which presents a difficulty. Although Olmo’s absence is unfortunate, it seems as though Ferran Torres will take center stage in his place. He might implement a possession-based approach, utilizing quick ball movement to break down defenses. Flick tends to favor a 4-2-3-1…

The opportunity for Erling Haaland to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the fewest games required to score 100 goals for one club was lost. With 99 goals in 103 games going into Wednesday’s match against Inter, the Norway international knew that one more goal would tie Ronaldo’s Real Madrid record of 100 goals in 105 games. Haaland, in his 105th City appearance, faces Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday. If he wants to equal the Portugal legend’s record, he will have to score, as he was unable to reach the back of the net. He can now only tie…
The new La Liga season has gotten off to a fantastic start for FC Barcelona. The team is currently leading the points table after five straight victories. Even though every member of the Blaugrana team has been playing at the highest caliber, Flick’s team’s main worry right now is a severely injured roster. The teenage midfielder, Gavi, has shown remarkable tactical adaptability and has already established himself as a powerful force on the field. His unrelenting high pushing is one of his most notable characteristics. He actively thwarts the opponent’s strategy of building play by exerting quick pressure that frequently…

Stuttgart held their own in a close match, but Real Madrid—led by the former PSG player—had to rely on magic to grab the lead. With this goal, Mbappé moves…
