The sixteen clubs that make up the women's football league have approved Pau Gasol's investment in the competition. The former Barça player – through his company Gasol16 Ventures and the company Fortified Partners – will invest 55 million euros, representing the highest private investment the league has received. In fact, never before has a private fund invested so much money in a sports competition in the state or a women's league at a European level.

Alexia Putellas will play next season at Michele Kang's magnate London City. The ex-Barça player —whose contract ends next June 30— will try her luck in the English league after fourteen seasons wearing the Barça jersey. There she will meet again with Jana Fernández, Lucía Corrales, María Pérez and Mapi León, who will also make the same journey as Alexia this summer.

There are goalkeepers, like Vozinha, who occupy newspaper pages for their great performances in matches. On the other hand, there are others who appear for negative reasons. This is the case of Diego Fuoli, who, although he could have been in the media for his great season with Sabadell – 27 goals conceded in 37 matches in the Primera Federació and 21 clean sheets in the regular league – has ended up doing so after controversial statements on the balcony of the Sabadell City Council (governed by the PSC) during the celebration of the promotion to the Second Division.

Argentina has beaten Austria (2-0) and secured their ticket to the round of 16 of the World Cup. Leo Messi has surpassed Germany's Miroslav Klose and has become the all-time top scorer in World Cups with 18 goals. But all of this has been overshadowed by the strong statements made by Julián Álvarez in the mixed zone in Dallas. The Atlético de Madrid forward wants to change scenery after two seasons under Diego Pablo Simeone. Having turned 26 in January, he believes his career needs a new boost, with Barça as his favorite future option.

The brothers Quique and Óscar Álvarez are the new coaches of Girona FC for the next season. The sporting direction, led by Quique Cárcel, trusts the reserve team's coaches for the return to Primera. A major challenge for two figures with experience in Javier Calleja's technical staff – one of the names that sounded for occupying the white-and-red bench – but who will begin their first adventure in professional football as head and assistant coach. They will be accompanied by Jordi Balcells, the physical trainer during Pablo Machín's tenure, who was also with them both in the reserve team.

The announcement of Pau Gasol's investment proposal in the women's football league, amounting to approximately 55 million euros, put everyone in the sector on alert. With the aim of "professionalizing the commercial model and accelerating internationalization," the former Barcelona player wants to carry out the largest private investment in this competition through the company Gasol16 Ventures and together with other investors. However, all of this will have to be approved by the league's clubs at an extraordinary assembly that will take place on Monday, June 29.

The future of Salma Paralluelo is the big issue this summer at Barça. The Aragonese winger is very happy at the Catalan club, but she has strong offers from abroad, where the economic proposals are higher than those offered by the Blaugrana entity. As ARA has been able to find out, Olympique de Lyon, London City, Arsenal and PSG have shown interest in the footballer, whose contract ends on June 30 and who would arrive as a free agent.

Marc Márquez continues to make history in MotoGP. The rider from Cervera has beaten Pedro Acosta – just as he did on Saturday in the sprint race – at the Hungarian Grand Prix and achieves his 100th victory in motorcycle racing. Márquez took advantage of a five-bike crash in the first corner to close the gap on the leading riders. The Catalan adds another 25 points to his overall standings and climbs to fifth position.

Alexia Putellas' departure has overshadowed all the headlines of the past few days due to its emotional significance for the locker room and the fans. Also due to its importance to the club, for which she was another commercial asset. The player from Mollet del Vallès is one of the footballers who sells the most jerseys and represented a great attraction for companies, which helped secure sponsors, as was the case with Leo Messi in his time. 

The World Cup, the most important and anticipated sporting event of the year, is now entering its final phase. From now on, there is no room for error for the 48 teams that, from Thursday, June 11, are competing with a single objective: to be in the final on Sunday, July 19 (9 p.m.) which will be played at the MetLife Stadium located in New Jersey (near New York).

If Enrique Riquelme defeats Florentino Pérez at the polls on Sunday, Erling Haaland will be a Real Madrid player. This is the announcement made by the candidate in the white club's elections. Riquelme presented it with a Real Madrid jersey showing the name of the Norwegian star from Manchester City and the number nine, accompanied by a notarized document in which he commits not to sell any percentage of the club if he becomes president. "I have signed a personal notarized guarantee where if I fail to keep any of my promises, I will pay 100% of all fees for Real Madrid's 100,000 members next season," he confessed.

Leo Messi has been awarded the Princess of Asturias Award for Sports 2026. The Argentine footballer, who currently plays for Inter Miami, will receive the award on October 23 at the Campoamor Theatre in Oviedo. The jury – chaired by swimmer Teresa Perales – has highlighted his "exceptional sporting career" and his solidarity in "promoting access to education and healthcare for the most disadvantaged children". The former Barça star has won 47 titles, including four Champions Leagues, ten Spanish leagues, and the World Cup achieved with Argentina in 2022.

The 2025-26 season will be remembered for many years by blaugrana fans. For the second year in a row, Barça has won all the titles it has competed for – Champions League, League, Copa de la Reina, and Spanish Super Cup. A historic quadruple that has served for Pere Romeu's team to reassert themselves after a season marked by doubts and criticism, especially due to the short squad that was assembled in the summer and that has forced academy players like Clara Serrajordi and Aïcha Camara to step up.

It was an open secret, but it has now become official. Mapi León and Ona Batlle will not continue at Barça next season. The Barça club –which on Tuesday announced the departure of Alexia Putellas– closes a successful cycle to make way for a great batch of youngsters who want to "conquer the world", as the Barça captain described at her farewell event. The Aragonese centre-back – who is expected to join Michele Kang's London City (owner of Olympique Lyonnais) – leaves after nine seasons, 27 titles and 313 matches with Barça, and the Vilassar de Mar full-back would return to England to Arsenal.

Wednesday was a day of many emotions for the culers. Alexia Putellas – who also had an institutional event in the morning at Camp Nou – said goodbye to the fans in the last match of the season at the Johan Cruyff stadium (with a 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad). Although it is not yet official, Marta Torrejón, Mapi León and Ona Batlle – all three starters – also experienced their last match at home. On the other hand, Graham Hansen and Salma Paralluelo – who also finish their contracts on June 30, but have more options to continue at the club – started the duel from the bench.

An era has ended. Alexia Putellas leaves Barça after fourteen seasons. The captain announced it this Tuesday, three days after winning their fourth Champions League in Oslo and completing a perfect season with the poker: Champions, League, Cup, and Super Cup. Through a video on her Instagram account, she explained that she is closing "a perfect story." Alexia will say goodbye this Wednesday at the Johan Cruyff, in the Barça-Real Sociedad match, the last home game for the Blaugranas in the League. Before that, at 11:00 AM, there will be an institutional event with the entire first-team squad and the Board of Directors at Camp Nou.

“After receiving criticism all year, I hope they praise us a little now, as it's our turn. We are doing a very good job”. That’s how emphatically Cata Coll spoke after winning the Champions League final in Oslo (4-0). Barça once again touched the sky in Norway after a complicated season marked by criticism and doubts. After the triumph, it was time to celebrate. The night in Oslo was long. "We celebrated it as it should be," said the young Clara Serrajordi, from La Masia, when she arrived in Barcelona, where thousands of people were waiting on a stage on Avinguda de Maria Cristina despite the heatwave, which caused some scares among those present. This was not the case for Joan Laporta, who ended up on stage embracing Alexia Putellas while the members of the group Figa Flawas sang euphorically.

There are scripts that seem to be written. And this Champions League's could only have one winner: Barça. Pere Romeu's team – who wins the Women's Champions League in his second year in charge – regains the European crown it lost a year ago in Lisbon and now has its fourth Champions League title (4-0). The Blaugranes draw level in second place with Eintracht Frankfurt with four titles each, only behind Olympique Lyonnais, who have eight.

This Saturday (6:00 PM, TV3), Barça will once again be the center of attention across Europe. For the sixth consecutive year, the blaugranes will compete in the Champions League final. It will not be just any match. Pere Romeu's team will face Jonatan Giráldez's Olympique Lyonnais, the former coach of the Catalan team. The two best teams in Europe will meet at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo. The final has been preceded by the difficulties fans –and the press– have had in reaching Norway, but UEFA has already posted the sold-out ticket sign. Thousands of culers will fill the streets of Oslo and will try to win the battle in the stands, where 28,000 people are expected. Among them, the family of Caroline Graham Hansen, who will be playing at home.
