The fourth title of the Hansi Flick era is here. Barça has beaten Real Madrid (3-2) and continues to dominate the national scene under the guidance of the German coachHe has equaled Luis Enrique's record after winning four of the first five titles he has competed for on the Catalan bench. Joan Garcia, Marc Bernal, Marcus Rashford, and Rooney Bardghji have all won their first titles with Barça, while Hansi Flick remains Real Madrid's nemesis. Since taking over at Barça, he has won five of the six Clásicos he has managed, three of them in finals. Flick has never lost a final; the German coach has won all eight finals he has managed.

Aitana Bonmatí has received the The BestThe award for best female player of 2025. After winning her third Ballon d'Or last September, the footballer from San Pedro de Ribes has received this accolade for the third consecutive time. Former Barcelona player Ousmane Dembélé received the award in the men's category, in which Pedri, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha were finalists. The ceremony was held in Qatar without any Barcelona players in attendance. PSG, however, was present, and they will play Flamengo in the Intercontinental Cup final this Wednesday.

Luis Enrique Martínez, Ernesto Valverde, and Joan Laporta testified on Friday as witnesses in the Negreira case. Both former Barcelona coaches stated—via video call—that they were unaware of the existence of the reports from the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) and his son. They claimed that Valverde had received similar services while at Athletic Bilbao. Joan Laporta, however—who was acquitted in the case because the statute of limitations had expired for the acts committed during his first term (2003-2010)—admitted in court that they found these reports "by chance in some boxes at the back of a cupboard," as revealed by SER Catalunya. However, only some of the reports were found, because, according to the Barcelona president, part of the club's documentation is destroyed every five or six years.

Paris surrendered at the feet of a Catalan woman. Again, for the fifth time. The French capital dressed up for another year for the Ballon d'Or ceremony, the award given by the French magazine France Football and which recognizes the best players of the season. A historic gala, because Aitana Bonmatí won the Ballon d'Or ahead of Mallorca's Mariona Caldentey, who came in second. Alessia Russo, a double European champion with Arsenal and the English national team, finished third. In the men's category, it was a celebration for PSG: they were chosen as the best club, Luis Enrique won as the best coach, and Ousmane Dembélé won the grand prize, the Ballon d'Or, ahead of Lamine Yamal, who came one step away from causing an upset. The player from Mataró became the youngest player to climb the podium, doing so at 18 years old. Until now, the youngest had been Brazilian Ronaldo in 1997 at 21 years old.

Paris Saint-Germain couldn't put the finishing touches on a historic season. Luis Enrique Martínez's team fell clearly in the Club World Cup final against a very well-prepared Chelsea. Dembélé jeopardizes his status as favorite to win the Ballon d'Or against Barça's Lamine Yamal

"Reality check," is the headline given by several media outlets following the news from the Whites. This is the feeling in Madrid after losing 4-0 to Luis Enrique's PSG.. Xabi Alonso, who in a few weeks had managed to establish himself as the savior, was harshly criticized by the Spanish press after a thrashing that leaves them without a chance of playing in the Club World Cup final, which will be played between Chelsea and PSG.

Xabi Alonso and Kylian Mbappé's Real Madrid were a broken toy in the hands of PSG. Luis Enrique's side devoured the Whites (4-0) and will play in the Club World Cup final on Sunday against Chelsea. If the rout wasn't bigger, it was thanks to Thibaut Courtois and the fact that the Parisian side were so overpowered that they allowed themselves to slow down.

Ten years after winning the Champions League with Barça, Luis Enrique will try to repeat the feat with Paris Saint-Germain. The French side made no mistake against Arsenal in the second semi-final and will face Inter at the Allianz Arena in Munich on June 1st in a final unlike any other. In fact, PSG is only reaching its second final, after losing to Hansi Flick's Bayern Munich in 2020, the year of the pandemic. As life goes, PSG could reach the top of the league in the first year without Kylian Mbappé.
