🎙️ Paul Scholes on Lamine Yamal’s latest interview:
“People still talk about Lamine like he’s a kid. He’s 19, wearing the No.10, part of Barcelona’s captaincy group, and listen to the way he speaks now. That’s maturity.
Honestly, he spoke better than Mbappé. Lamine understands something important, football is about the team first. He’s not obsessed with telling everyone how many goals he’ll score or proving he’s the best.
And that’s what makes him dangerous. He scores goals, creates goals, presses, works for the team and still has the confidence to say he wants to win everything.
Mbappé is an unbelievable player, but if I’m building a team today, I’m taking Yamal. He understands that individual numbers mean nothing if the team doesn’t win.
Barcelona have something special with this boy.”

🚨💣 Rodri on the conversation with Hansi Flick that made him reject Real Madrid:
Rodri: “Real Madrid made their interest clear, but Flick’s conversation with me was completely different. He didn’t call me just to talk about money, trophies or history.
He told me: ‘I want to build the greatest midfield football has ever seen, and I want you at the heart of it. Pedri, you and the next generation — that is the midfield I want to take Barcelona to the top of Europe with.’
Then he made it even clearer: ‘I want you for the Champions League. I don’t want you watching someone else lift it. I want you helping us win it.’
That was the moment I knew where I wanted to go.
Real Madrid could offer me their history, but Flick offered me something bigger — the chance to help create Barcelona’s next great era.
I didn’t reject Madrid because I was afraid of the challenge. I rejected them because I believed Barcelona’s project could become something they wouldn’t be able to stop.”
🚨🎙️David Villa on Ferran Torres saying “A move to PSG is an upgrade in his career” 👀🔥
David Villa: “Ferran Torres is a player I actually like and rate very highly. You can leave Barcelona, that’s fine. No one is Atlético Madrid to hold a player from leaving. But trying to disrespect the club on your way out is something very bad.
Let’s be honest, Ferran has been the one setting Barcelona back for years with the amount of big chances he has missed, yet the club never pushed him out. They kept giving him opportunities, supported him and treated him like family.
And now, suddenly, leaving Barcelona for PSG is an upgrade in his career? That’s what I don’t understand. You are free to choose a new challenge, but don’t make it sound like Barcelona was holding you back when they were actually giving you every opportunity to succeed.
If PSG is truly an upgrade, then prove it on the pitch. Because Barcelona gave you chances for years, even when you were the one holding them back.”
