FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction vs Real Sociedad
Right now, you could say that FC Barcelona "likes to move it move it," cuz they're going "Real to Real." Of course, the mid-1990s dance music act that came up with that song spells it "Reel to Real," so maybe that reference is a bit forced. However, Barcelona just beat Real Oviedo yesterday, 3-1, and now it's already time to preview the visit from Real Sociedad, which is the … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction vs Real Sociedad

The past couple days have brought a doubt shot of FC Barcelona injury/fitness news. Gavi, the midfield man who has unfortunately endured a very injury-stricken past couple of seasons, suffered another setback.

"Gavi … [Read more...] about Barcelona Team News at Oviedo: Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal
Newcastle United vs Barcelona Starting XI Predictions (Champions League)
One of the biggest fixtures of UEFA Champions League matchday 1 is Newcastle United hosting FC Barcelona. It comes on Thursday night, and that gives the match a bit of a weirder feel. When there is continental competition on a Thursday night, it has historically been Europa League or Conference League action, and thus, the inferior tournament. And while both of those … [Read more...] about Newcastle United vs Barcelona Starting XI Predictions (Champions League)
Newcastle vs Barcelona Team News: Lamine Yamal, Frenkie de Jong, Yoane Wissa, Jacob Ramsey
Lamine Yamal is a major doubt for FC Barcelona when they visit Newcastle United on Thursday night. Yamal, who aggravated a groin injury while with Spain on international break earlier this month, trained alone earlier today, instead of working out with the rest of the team.

It sounds like Yamal will face a … [Read more...] about Newcastle vs Barcelona Team News: Lamine Yamal, Frenkie de Jong, Yoane Wissa, Jacob Ramsey
