Sunshine, tapas, siestas (and, let's be honest, fiestas); Spain has all the ingredients for a pretty dreamy digital nomad lifestyle. But beyond the sangria and palm trees, there are some practical things every remote worker has to think about: solid Wi-Fi, a welcoming community, staying safe, and, yes, making sure you've got travel insurance that actually covers you when things go sideways.
🗣️❌ Hansi Flick: "Lamine Yamal will not be available. He went with the national team in pain and did not train. They gave him painkillers to play. They had at least a three-goal lead in every match, and he played 73 minutes and 79, and between matches he couldn't train. That is..." pic.twitter.com/OCfL1xRkDU- EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) September 14, 2025
Barcelona's opponents in the league phase include Greek title holders Olympiacos, reigning Czech champions Slavia Prague and Danish Superliga winners Copenhagen. Brugge finished second in Belgium and Eintracht Frankfurt were third in Germany, while Chelsea were fourth in England and Newcastle were fifth. Barca have won three and lost one of their games against the Magpies, while their meeting with the Blues resumes a Champions League rivalry that has spanned 14 matches, with four wins apiece and six draws.
The report goes on to suggest that Fernandez could face an important few months ahead in terms of deciding his future. It surely wouldn't be easy for this La Masia graduate to leave Barcelona, but there'll also be plenty of competition for places in Hansi Flick's star-studded squad. If Fernandez and his family decide together that the best step would be to try a move elsewhere, then it seems clear he won't be short of options.

Arsenal and Barcelona keen on Luiz Benedetti Sources close to the player's situation have informed CaughtOffside that Arsenal have been monitoring Benedetti for a long time and are expected to make an official move in January. However, the English side is not alone in the race. Barcelona have also shown interest, viewing Benedetti as a strategic option to reinforce their backline with a promising young talent. Barcelona's search for a ball-playing centre-back highlights Benedetti's profile.
If UEFA was negotiating with the promoters of the Super League, the president of UEFA does not know. "And without me knowing it, it doesn't make sense. So that's not true. "Of course we communicate, not me personally, but with both clubs from Spain [Barca and Real Madrid]. I have had a meeting with Laporta, everything is fine, but that's not a negotiation. Neither the system nor the new format of the Champions League will change, that's clear. "Both clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, will always be welcome back to the European football family, where they have always belonged."
"I'm ashamed of my reaction on the touchlines after the penalty was awarded," Pérez said after the game in an interview with broadcaster DAZN. "It was the result of frustration. Referees make mistakes and that's OK. What bothers me is that today the players had five minutes of VAR and five minutes without it and so on. Everyone that's played knows the influence it has on the players, referees and assistants now... It's a different game.
BARCELONA lifeguards have called off an extended 27-day strike on Thursday, August 28, after finally reaching an agreement with the Barcelona City Council. The lifeguards had been protesting in a strike organised by the CGT Union to secure a more beneficial labour agreement and to obtain more job stability. The nearly month-long strike reached an end after the lifeguards were able to reach an agreement with the Council that landed them improvements to their working conditions and action to meet their most important demands.
THE CATALAN capital of Barcelona has been named one of the world's top five destinations for a so-called 'work holiday,' a lifestyle that fuses working remotely with travelling. According to a global ranking reported by the International Workplace Group, or IWG, Barcelona, which has famously been a magnet for digital nomads, ranks in the highly competitive fifth position, under global tourism hotspots like Japan and Brazil.
Two games into the 2025-26 campaign, and with three new kits already launched, but champions Barcelona are yet to play in any of them in LaLiga. Hansi Flick's side have had to dust off last season's lime-green third kit in their opening fixtures, wins at Mallorca and Levante, because none of their fresh outfits passed the league's kit selector tool. Barça's Blaugrana (blue and garnet) home shirt was deemed too close to Mallorca's signature red and black, and is a direct match with Levante's colours.
The club's hierarchy have reportedly submitted an offer of 30 million, matching Barca's valuation of the player, in a bid to accelerate negotiations. Villa's ambition does not end with the transfer fee. They are also prepared to offer Casado a lucrative contract that would quadruple his current wages, showing just how determined the Midlands club are to bring him to Villa Park.
The youngster is reportedly open to joining another club this summer, but he wants a loan move. He wants to return to Barcelona next season and establish himself as a key player for the club. It will be interesting to see if West Ham can get the deal done. If they manage to sign the talented full-back on loan for this season, it could be an inexpensive acquisition for them and would add much-needed quality and depth to their defensive unit as well.
