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

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. He also missed out on the 6-0 thrashing of Valencia last weekend. It sounds like Yamal will face a … [Read more...] about Newcastle vs Barcelona Team News: Lamine Yamal, Frenkie de Jong, Yoane Wissa, Jacob Ramsey

It is only going to be a select special few that get to see FC Barcelona host Valencia CF on Sunday at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. The venue holds only 6,000 spectators, which is obviously a tiny fraction of Barcelona's true home, the Camp Nou, or their temporary home the past two seasons, the Olympic Stadium.
