Joan Laporta and FC Barcelona publicly congratulated Lionel Messi on receiving the Princess of Asturias Award for Sports for 2026.

Barcelona host Real Madrid in the first Clasico of the season at Camp Nou, with disputes over Javier Tebas, referees and the Negreira case adding to the buildup.

Enric Masip, an adviser to Barcelona president Joan Laporta, criticised Real Madrid before Sunday's Clasico over references to the Negreira case.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta said before Tuesday's Champions League game against PSG that he is not worried another club could lure Lamine Yamal away.
