Barcelona vs Real Madrid LIVE: What a season for Barcelona!
This has been a superb first year for Hansi Flick at Barcelona. The Blaugrana entered the year second-favourite to Real Madrid, but riding on their young sensations and a new identity, have comfortably been the best team in Spain, and maybe even the world. But Madrid are still hanging on, and they cannot afford to celebrate La Liga just yet.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid LIVE: Eyes on Vinicius
It would be fair to say that Vinicius Jr, despite all his ability, hasn't had a season on par with his capabilities. After being one of the Ballon d'Or favourites in 2024, Real Madrid's star left-winger has been less impactful this year, despite boasting good numbers.
No better way to redeem yourself than deliver a match-winning Clasico performance.

Marcus Rashford makes cut in Barcelona squad for 2025 Asian tour as La Liga club confirms Japan friendly
Barcelona's 2025 Asian Tour is back on track, with the club confirming their first-team squad, including Marcus Rashford. The Manchester United star, who is on loan at Barcelona, is set to travel to Japan for a high-profile friendly against Vissel Kobe on July 27. Rashford's move to Barcelona meant the England international will line-up alongside the likes of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha for the defending La Liga's champions next season. Rashford could permanently sign for Barcelona, according to the deal with Manchester United, provided the forward impresses Hansi Flick during the 2025-26 season. Just days ago, Barcelona faced a setback when they announced the suspension of the Japan leg of their Asian Tour due to serious contractual breaches by the tour promoter. The club's statement at the time highlighted concerns that threatened to disrupt their pre-season plans. However, after negotiations, Barcelona confirmed that the issues had been resolved, allowing the tour to proceed as planned. Barcelona will face Vissel Kobe in Japan, followed by matches against FC Seoul on July 31 and Daegu FC on August 4 in South Korea. The highlight of the announcement was the inclusion of Marcus Rashford in Barcelona's traveling squad. Rashford, who has already been spotted training with the squad, is expected to make his debut in the iconic Blaugrana shirt during the tour. His arrival is a significant coup for Barcelona, both on and off the pitch. As a proven goal-scorer with pace and flair, Rashford brings a new dynamic to the team. New signings Marcus Rashford, Joan Garcia, and Roony Bardghji are all on the plane. Young players include Jofre Torrents, Dro Fernandez, and Toni and Guille Fernandez. Goalkeepers: Joan Garcia, Wojciech Szczęsny, Inaki Pena, Diego Kochen Defenders: Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo, Inigo Martinez, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Hector Fort, Gerard Martin, Jofre Torrents Midfielders: Gavi, Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Bernal, Dro Fernandez, Guille Fernandez. Attackers: Marcus Rashford, Roony Bardghji, Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Toni Fernandez. Barcelona's interest in Rashford was driven by their need for an attacker capable of playing both as a winger and a central forward. Head coach Hansi Flick prioritized strengthening the left-wing position, which was identified as a weak spot last season. Notably, before Rashford's transfer, Flick personally spoke with him and gave his approval for the transfer. With the promoter dispute resolved and Marcus Rashford's inclusion confirmed, Barcelona will be geared up to enter the 2025 Asian Tour with renewed momentum.

Chaos At Catalonia! Barcelona Confirms Japan Friendly Again After Resolving Contract Dispute
Last Updated: Barcelona will proceed with their preseason match against Vissel Kobe in Japan after resolving a dispute with the promoter. They will also continue their tour in South Korea. Barcelona will go ahead with their preseason match in Japan, just days after announcing its cancellation due to a contractual disagreement with the event promoter. The Spanish champions confirmed on Friday that the dispute has been resolved and the team is now traveling to Japan to face Vissel Kobe on Sunday. Dispute Resolved, Match Back On According to the club, 'all the issues that two days prior obliged Barcelona to cancel its participation" in the friendly have now been settled. Barcelona did not disclose the identity of the promoter involved or provide further details about the nature of the disagreement. Following their game in Japan, Barcelona remains scheduled to continue their Asian tour with matches in South Korea. The team is set to face FC Seoul on July 31 and Daegu FC on August 4. Earlier in the week, Barcelona abruptly announced the cancellation of the Vissel Kobe match, citing serious contractual violations by the Japanese event promoter. The club added: 'Barcelona regrets this incident and the impact it will have on the many, many Barça fans in Japan." The sudden cancellation had cast doubt over the club's broader Asia tour, including the upcoming fixtures in South Korea. However, Seoul-based promoter D-Drive emphasized that the issues originated solely with the Japanese organizers, distancing themselves from the dispute. Vissel Kobe, who were set to host the Catalan giants and previously boasted Barcelona legend Andrés Iniesta in their ranks, also responded to the confusion with a public apology. 'We sincerely apologise for any concern this may cause to the many fans and stakeholders who were looking forward to this match," the club said. With the situation now resolved, Barcelona's preseason plans appear to be back on track. For the Culers, it's been a rollercoaster of a day. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 17:16 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
