LaLiga has made public this afternoon the Sports Squad Cost Limit (LCPD) of the clubs in the First and Second Division and once again Real Madrid is the club with the highest salary cap, with 832.786 million euros. Increasingly close to those amounts is FC Barcelona, which reaches 582.769 million confirming its positive evolution, far from times of crisis when the figure was negative. In the 2021-22 season, after the winter market closed and with the effects of covid still very evident, the blue and claret club showed a negative LCPD of 144.353 million.

He had said inside the club that he would go out to make a public apology to Valencia and he did. As soon as the match ended, Rodri went to the mixed zone to appear before the media and express his apology to the Valencia fans for a video that Movistar broadcast and then deleted after the Mestalla match. In it, the Barcelona midfielder was seen commenting with Cubarsí on the development of the match from the bench and saying, among other things, about the Valencia players that “they are very bad.”

The Barça show under Hansi Flick continues, who takes the field as if he owed people money. There is not a dull or speculative minute in his way of understanding football, whether the sun is scorching or a wild September storm appears delayed,…

First day of school. In the senior one. In the Champions League, that competition which, needless to say, Barcelona fans want to embrace in the final on June 6 at the Metropolitano. Just in case, don’t make plans. Beating the innocent Feyenoord 5-1 will not be the most meritorious victory of the league phase where, among others, PSG and Manchester City are present. But seeing Barcelona enjoy Raphinha’s double, the acrobatic goal of the exotic Adeyemi, Lamine Yamal’s direct free kick with the captain’s armband, and even Gabriel Jesus’s header is something to savor. This is the Champions League and Barça asks for and deserves a license to dream.

The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska, announced this Wednesday that a file has been opened for an “alleged very serious or serious offense” against the agents who beat a Barcelona supporter from whom they took an estelada flag before the match between this team and Elche on August 23.

The result could have been scandalous, such was the flood of chances missed by both teams, especially when the match completely opened up in the second half. But before that, what was seen was one team that proposed, Inter, and the other, Madrid, which took advantage of their opponent’s ridiculous blunders to take control of the match. Mbappé and Valverde were the ones to thank Inter for their mistakes and put Mourinho’s team in the lead, who ended up securing a hard-fought victory in their Champions League debut.

More than 40 years after the last official race at the Jarama circuit in 1981, Madrid returns to the world calendar in grand style. Banco Santander also makes its return, the global official sponsor of Formula 1 since 2025. Before that, there were 20 years of sponsorships of teams and drivers. The world’s top motorsport competition returns to the Spanish capital with the Formula 1 Tag Heuer Gran Premio de España. The event will be held from September 11 to 13 at MADRING, an innovative semi-urban circuit designed around IFEMA Madrid and Valdebebas.

Insatiable and impeccable, he is one of the players who best represent the voracity stamp that Hansi Flick imprints on his Barça. Goal scorer, assistant, runner, midfielder, and forward. He is Fermín. A total Fermín. A superlative Fermín. A general Fermín who was not a world champion due to the misfortune of an injury, but who has returned hungrier than ever, more eager to earn his place. For now, he has left Dani Olmo, who came from the United States strengthened, on the bench. But the Andalusian is on fire.

The pessimists no longer have anyone to write to them. We are referring to the culés, obviously. Barça under Flick is in a mode that leaves no complaints worth mentioning. The blaugrana group has started the season like a rocket. In Mestalla, an old pressure cooker now turned inward…

The blue and red thrashing was uncontestable. Deafening. Mestalla counted up to five. Rarely have there been more contrasting soundtracks than those played by Valencia and Barcelona. The former was a victim of fear. The latter set a leader’s pace. Of a champion licensed to dream of a third consecutive League title. Even if it’s only matchday 4. Even if the thermometer read 36 degrees. It doesn’t matter. There were five great goals. Lamine Yamal scored a double. And Fermín joined the party. And Raphinha. And Pedri. The lone leader shone at the old Mestalla, a stadium that is beginning to say goodbye to its fans in the worst possible way while waiting for the New Mestalla: more hostile than ever. Propelling from their throats boos much louder against Peter Lim and his management than against Barcelona itself. An atmosphere that terrifies its own team, a soulless group at the mercy of Barcelona.
