The Barcelona Courier

Lamine Yamal beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 35. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market15 Feb 2027

Pedri wants more than Barcelona are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at Barcelona

Rodri and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Raúl Sánchez gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Raúl Sánchez has just signed for Barcelona, and for once the answer mattered.

Match13 Feb 2027

Barcelona find a way past Elche

Elche made Barcelona work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Looking ahead15 Feb 2027

All roads lead to Atlético Madrid

The fixture the calendar is arranged around. Form goes out of the window, the table is not consulted, and for ninety minutes Barcelona will be judged on one thing only.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Nobody on the pitch touched Anthony Gordon

7.97, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Barcelona had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

When it matters, Raphinha plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A row about effort at Barcelona

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Karim Adeyemi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The Mérida Chronicle

3 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad3 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Pereira signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rodrigo Pereira commits to Mérida for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Mérida

Rodrigo Pereira and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Mérida rebuffed over Jokin Gabilondo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Zaragoza have kept their man, and Mérida go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market3 Aug 2026

Benjamin Dibrani attracts admirers

The name of Benjamin Dibrani has come up in conversations Mérida were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Mérida has picked up the phone to Rodrigo Pereira

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Sigurður Bjartur Hallsson knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Sigurður Bjartur Hallsson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
