Hans Flick commented on Real Madrid's start to the La Liga season and their underwhelming performance, saying: "The season will be long, and I don't care much about the current situation." He continued: "I am focused on Barcelona, and I hope we can perform well again tomorrow. Today, we prepared ourselves again with an intense training session. We are looking forward to the match against Valladolid, and we are ready to play."

Reports have confirmed that there will be no more signings by Barcelona on the last day of the summer transfer window. The reports indicated that Barcelona wanted to sign a midfielder, but their financial crisis prevented that move.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick revealed the substitutes for Marc Bernal, who suffered an ACL injury, saying: "We have two options in midfield, and I think it's clear that we have Marc Casadó and Eric García, who has also played in that position."

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said that Fermín López plays best in the No. 10 role, behind the striker, where he excels in playmaking and forward passes rather than as a central midfielder. He confirmed that when Fermín played, he showed what he could do and has the quality to be in the starting lineup.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed that his biggest fear regarding Frenkie de Jong's injury is the possibility of surgery, which would keep him out for a longer period. The German coach expressed his hope that the Dutch player would return to Barcelona after the international break to support the midfield, especially after Marc Bernal's injury.

The Catalan newspaper Sport confirmed that Barcelona's offer for former Juventus player Chiesa was €10 million, with payments spread over five years due to a lack of cash flow. Although the player agreed to the contract terms with Barcelona, Juventus rejected the financial offer and the idea of installments, and he ended up at Liverpool.
