Frenkie de Jong is back but where - if at all - does he fit in the new FC Barcelona Hansi Flick is trying to build? Find out in our tactical analysis.
Sustained pressure is about recovering the ball high and not letting the opposition settle. This is where Barcelona's evolution shines.
Ansu Fati doesn't seem to be a player on Hansi Flick's mind. Instead, Ferran Torres and Pau Victor are ahead of the once-fabled La Masia prodigy. But should that be the case? Is Torres so much better than Fati now?

Review
In ninety minutes of football, Hansi Flick didn't just win a derby, he rekindled a spirit
Profile

Profile
Casado profiles as a deep-lying playmaker and box-to-box midfielder, mixing it up with great long distribution and a technical presence in pockets and between the lines
Profile
Barcelona's search for the perfect pivot, has led them back to where it all started: La Masia. Marc Bernal is set to shoulder the burden many before him could not bear.

Imperfection is what makes Nico Williams so enthralling. He's not some media-trained PR engine or tactical robot. He's a footballer with rough edges, a diamond still being cut.

Alexia is without a doubt the one player that truly defines FC Barcelona Femini and their legacy. This Ballon D'Or winner is pioneering the role of women in football.
Opinion
Xavi the thinker and Xavi the Barca fan. A legend who bleeds Barca and whose last season as a coach should be one of joy and happy memories
