One of Barcelona’s eight World Cup winners reflects on how Spain’s triumph is inspiring them in the Champions LeagueDani Olmo nods towards his right arm. “Look: goosebumps,” he says. The Spain midfielder is sitting in a back room at Barcelona’s Joan Gamper training ground trying to pinpoint the moment he knew he was a world champion. “There’s an image in my mind with Ferran [Torres]’s mum: hugging her, the two of us in tears,” he says. “‘What your son just did … what we all did … this is historic.’ And that’s when you start to feel it. In those final minutes of the game it’s impossible, impossible, but when the referee blows, the thought enters your head: ‘Have we done it?’ ‘Are we …?’ There, you feel it a little bit. When you lift the cup, a little bit more. And then when you see the families, when I see the reaction from my brother, my partner, my dad. I’m not one to cry, but …”But then Olmo knew, felt it: Spain were world champions. It was 19 July in New Jersey and it was real: Spain had beaten Argentina and nothing would be the same again.

Barcelona take on Athletic Club for Matchday 2 of the 2026-27 LaLiga season, with Rodri starting this match on the bench. Rodri is on the bench, not in the starting lineup, as Barcelona host Athletic Club at the Camp Nou in their second match of the 2026-27 LaLiga season, with the Spanish midfielder still working his way up to full match fitness following his summer move to Catalonia. The 29-year-old missed Barcelona‘s season opener against Elche entirely, a 5-0 win, after his move to the club was finalized following an extended post-World Cup vacation and rehabilitation from a minor back procedure. With only a handful of training sessions under his belt at the time, head coach Hansi Flick opted to leave him out of the matchday squad completely rather than rush him back. Since then, Rodri has trained normally with the rest of the squad, completing full sessions through the week, which has allowed Flick to include him among the substitutes for the visit of Athletic Club. The plan is for the former Manchester City midfielder to see some minutes in the second half, marking what would be his official Barcelona debut. 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐔𝐏 🔵🔴 #BarçaAthletic pic.twitter.com/VrWIyNXY95— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) August 27, 2026 Flick manages World Cup minutes as Barcelona rotate the squad With several key players still working back from a deep run at the 2026 World Cup, Flick has continued to manage his squad’s workload carefully rather than rushing everyone back into full 90-minute shifts. Jules Kounde, Joao Cancelo, Dani Olmo, and Anthony Gordon all featured in the tournament’s final weekend, and the German coach has been rotating them in and out of the lineup accordingly, a plan he laid out ahead of the season opener against Elche. “It is normal that the players who played in the World Cup don’t play the full 90 minutes, though they may have to play a few minutes. You have to manage the minutes, and it isn’t easy,” Flick said during a press conference, a philosophy that extends directly to how he’s handling Rodri’s integration into the squad.
While being one of the most highlighted signings of the summer, Rodri won't be taking part of FC Barcelona's debut game in the 2026-27 La Liga against Elche CF. Rodri stands as one of FC Barcelona‘s most high-profile marquee signings during the 2026 summer transfer window. Now, as the Blaugrana open their 2026-27 La Liga campaign away against Elche CF on Sunday, August 23, questions have arisen over his complete absence from the matchday squad. Rodri will not participate in the season opener against Elche due to a lack of match fitness. Having recently finalized his move to Barcelona following an extended post-World Cup vacation and rehabilitation from a minor back procedure, the Spanish international has logged only a handful of training sessions with his new club. Consequently, head coach Hansi Flick decided to leave Rodri out of the 23-man squad entirely, keeping him in Catalonia to complete his recovery rather than traveling to the Martinez Valero Stadium. In his absence, Gavi and Marc Bernal will be covering the double pivot in midfield, with Pedri also available in the rotation. Thus far, Rodri has been following a tailored conditioning program to regain peak fitness following Spain’s deep run to the 2026 World Cup final. During recent session blocks, the midfielder trained separately under an individualized regimen, making an appearance against Elche an unrealistic expectation for the coaching staff. ❗| Rodri is still training individually to gain rhythm. It seems like he will NOT be available for the match against Elche tomorrow. [@NachoJP_] #fcblive 🔴pic.twitter.com/zXAVdslMH0— BarçaTimes (@BarcaTimes) August 22, 2026 Speaking in Saturday’s pre-match press conference, Flick addressed Rodri’s timeline after the marquee signing was spotted participating in light gym work alongside the squad: “He also trained on the pitch, he’s very concentrated, he’s focused on going back, an our plan is that he’ll arrive on Monday with the team. This is the plan, and we’re happy that he’s here.“ The German manager also underscored the tactical value of incorporating a world-class holding midfielder into his scheme. “He’s a fantastic player, a leader, and his personality is really great,” Flick stated, hoping to integrate the veteran into the squad for Thursday’s clash against Athletic Bilbao on August 27. La Liga debut following the World Cup With the 2026 World Cup extending deep into July, La Liga adjusted its opening-month calendar to allow international stars adequate recovery time. In Barcelona‘s case, key figures like Jules Kounde, Joao Cancelo, Pedri, Dani Olmo, and Anthony Gordon, who featured in the tournament’s final weekend, will begin Sunday’s match on the substitute bench. Regarding his rotation strategy for World Cup veterans, Flick emphasized patience: “It is normal that the players who played in the World Cup don’t play the full 90 minutes, though they may have to play a few minutes. You have to manage the minutes, and it isn’t easy. There are no valid excuses. We have to start by winning the first match. It won’t be easy because Elche controls the ball and moves it quickly. It won’t be easy. We have tremendous quality and we want the three points.“
Lionel Messi's Argentina received a harsh sanction from FIFA, following several incidents throughout their campaign at the 2026 World Cup. Lionel Messi’s Argentina have been hit with a significant sanction from FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee, which announced that the AFA must pay a total fine of $321,000 for a series of violations committed throughout the 2026 World Cup. The penalties cover discriminatory chants and gestures from Argentine fans across matches against Cape Verde, Egypt, Switzerland, England, and Spain, the display of the Falklands flag, and objects thrown onto the pitch during the Switzerland and England matches that delayed kickoff. As part of the sanction, Argentina must play their next two home matches with stadium capacity capped at 50%, and $100,000 of the fine must be directed toward an anti-discrimination program. A portion of the penalty, one match and $100,000, was suspended on probation. Individual suspensions handed out for World Cup final brawl Separately, FIFA also handed down individual sanctions tied to the chaotic scenes that broke out after Argentina’s 1-0 extra-time loss to Spain in the World Cup final on July 19. 🚨 OFFICIAL: FIFA suspensions following post Argentina-Spain clash, including 10 games ban for Paredes, 7 for Nahuel Molina and 1 for Pablo Gavi.🇦🇷 Paredes: 10-game ban + $90,000 fine🇦🇷 Molina: 7-game ban + $90,000 fine🇦🇷 Almada: 1-game ban + $30,000 fine🇦🇷 Ayala: 3-game ban… pic.twitter.com/FP8YWumcc7— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 21, 2026 Leandro Paredes received the harshest punishment, a 10-match suspension and a $90,000 fine, for grabbing Eric Garcia by the neck during the post-match brawl. Nahuel Molina was banned for seven matches and fined $90,000 after clashing with Rodri, while Thiago Almada received a one-match ban and a $30,000 fine. Assistant coach Roberto Ayala was also sanctioned, banned from the bench for three matches and fined $30,000 after punching Dani Olmo during the fracas. On Spain’s side, Gavi received a one-match suspension and a $30,000 fine as well. The AFA has confirmed it will formally request the grounds for FIFA’s ruling in order to pursue an appeal through the governing body’s Appeal Committee, with the Court of Arbitration for Sport remaining available as a final recourse should that process not resolve in Argentina’s favor.

After Marcus Rashford issued an emotional farewell message to FC Barcelona after his failed return, head coach Hansi Flick stated that he "will miss" counting with the English forward. Marcus Rashford emerged as one of FC Barcelona‘s most impactful contributors during the 2025-26 season, delivering clutch performances despite not holding down a guaranteed spot in the starting XI. However, the English winger will not be returning to the Catalan club, prompting head coach Hansi Flick to admit he “will miss” having Rashford in the squad. Barcelona originally acquired Rashford on a one-year loan deal in the summer of 2025, complete with a purchase option to make the transfer permanent. Ultimately, the Blaugrana front office elected not to trigger the buyout clause, leading Rashford to publish a heartfelt farewell message to supporters across his social media channels. Speaking at a press conference following a preseason friendly against Birmingham City, Flick addressed the decision to move on from Rashford: “What I can say about Marcus is that I appreciated a lot to work with him. Sometimes, you don’t know what happens with players who are on loan, and our situation is not easy for that.” Rashford tallied 14 goals and 11 assists across 49 appearances in Spain, missing just eight matches due to injury or rotation while earning Flick’s deep respect. “But I appreciate working with him. He is a fantastic player and a fantastic person. The team miss him, I will miss him, but it is life,” the German boss stated. Flick also reflected on how new arrival Anthony Gordon will fill the void left by Rashford’s departure: “This is what we have to accept. And in the end, Anthony Gordon comes and from the first call with him when I spoke with him, he is on fire with Barca and I’m really happy that he’s on our team.“ Back in June, Barcelona explored negotiating a reduced fee below the original €30 million ($35 million USD) purchase option or securing a second loan stint. However, permanent additions of both Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi during the current transfer window definitively closed the door on Rashford’s potential return. Who will replace Rashford at Barcelona? Rashford featured primarily on the left wing for Barcelona (logging 37 appearances at the position), echoing his familiar role throughout his professional career. However, he also showcased valuable tactical flexibility, making seven appearances as a central striker and five on the right wing, highlighted by a stunning free-kick goal against Real Madrid in El Clasico. Currently, Barcelona’s roster lacks a single utility forward capable of plugging into every attacking spot as a game-changing wildcard. That said, as the squad is currently constructed, Flick possesses plenty of elite individual options to cover every attacking role without needing a single jack-of-all-trades player. Lamine Yamal remains Flick’s unquestioned starter on the right flank with Roony Bardghji serving as primary backup, while Raphinha and newly acquired Anthony Gordon will battle for starting minutes on the left wing. Raphinha can also slide inside as an attacking midfielder, a spot likely shared by Dani Olmo and Karim Adeyemi, while Ferran Torres gives Flick additional flexibility both out wide and through the center, but with Robert Lewandowski’s departure, he’s expected to be the striker.
