That has been the theme for FC Barcelona this week, as they rolled their arch-rivals in an El Clasico Spanish Super Cup final, 5-2 on Sunday. After whooping Real Madrid 5-2 to claim the first trophy of the Hansi Flick era, Barca then put another 5 on it, this time against Real Betis in the Copa Del Rey.

Barcelona Team News at Barbastro: Lamine Yamal, Hector Fort, Ferran Torres
The return of Lamine Yamal can't come fast enough for FC Barcelona, who currently find themselves in a tailspin right now. The Spanish sensation has been out almost three weeks now since injuring his ankle in Barca’s 1-0 home loss to Leganes.

After a big triumph in continental competition, in midweek at Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona are back home to their friendly confines in Catalonia. They will welcome in Leganes, a relegation fodder side, for a La Liga fixture. This match will be a lot easier, at least on paper, than the journey to last year's UEFA Champions League runner-up.

FC Barcelona Team News vs Leganes: Raphinha, Ansu Fati, Andreas Christensen
Raphinha had to be subbed off, after just 20 minutes, in the 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. The problem has been reported to be a calf issue, and that renders him doubtful for the visit from Leganes on Sunday.

Lamine Yamal Makes El Clasico History, Mocks Vini and Ronaldo
The first El Clasico of the season went about as well as possible, if you're a FC Barcelona supporter.

He didn't just make history, he also provoked Los Blancos and their fans with both … [Read more...] about Lamine Yamal Makes El Clasico History, Mocks Vini and Ronaldo
FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Real Madrid (El Clasico)
Gavi, Frenkie de Jong and Dani Olmo are all back to match fitness for FC Barcelona, but are they ready to feature from kick off and go the full 90 minutes at Real Madrid? Well, the first name in that trio, most likely not, as he recently recovered from a very long term injury. However, the other two members of that triad could receive an El Clasico starting assignment, … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Real Madrid (El Clasico)
