🔵🔴 Laporta: “We’re receiving crazy bids for players like Lamine Yamal around €200m and we’re rejecting, of course”. “We trust Lamine and we don’t need to sell”. “We received bids for Balde, Fermín, Pedri, De Jong, Araujo, Gavi… we don’t want to sell our stars”. https://t.co/cDfb34eG6e
🚨 Barcelona president Joan Laporta: “I think both João Cancelo and João Félix will continue at Barça next season. I hope Atlético won’t create any issue. I don’t think Man City will put any limit to that. For sure it will be an extension of loans with a fixed price.” (Source:… https://t.co/p6R5ZcbDME

On comes Pau Cubarsí, to make his Spain debut at 17 years, 1 month and 19 days old. He becomes the second youngest player in Spanish national team history, only behind Lamine Yamal, who is now also on the pitch. They were both born in 2007, by the way... 🤯
Spain with the stronger start to the game, but no major chances after 15 minutes. Grimaldo is a constant outlet, and has whipped in a few good crosses that have been dealt with by a towering Colombian defence, but so far it's all going through Merino and Zubimendi in midfield.
No start for 17-year old Pau Cubarsí, but Spain do hand a deserved debut to centre-back Dani Vivian, who has been colossal for some time for Athletic Club. Grimaldo gets another shot at left-back, while Zubimendi and Merino start together for the 32nd time this campaign 🔵⚪️ https://t.co/5z5eGvkgMk

Barcelona president Joan Laporta when asked if he's envious about Kylian Mbappe's potential move to Real Madrid: "No, not at all." Laporta said that it could cause them a problem, potentially force them to sell a notable player, and could 'distort the dressing room' 👀 https://t.co/LxSFrF7aX3
🔵🔴🇪🇸 Barça president Laporta: "I love to see Pau Cubarsí, his personality... he's incredible". "Xavi told me: I was nervous when I had to debut for Barça, look at this guy, it looks like he's just happy and relaxed. It's fantastic to have talents like him", told MD. https://t.co/8vtkj8Qj4Y
