FULL-TIME, Intercity 3-4 Barcelona: Barça came close to elimination a few times and needed 120 minutes against a bad Third Division team, but in the end ...

Intercity 0-1 Barcelona (Araujo 4’): BARÇA TAKE THE EARLY LEAD! Intercity 1-2 Barcelona (Dembélé 67’): BARÇA TAKE THE LEAD! A quick response from the visitors as Ousmane Dembélé is played through one-on-one and chips the keeper to put Barça ahead!

Barcelona have no shortage of talented young midfielders, but based on the early evidence, they have unearthed another one. The Blaugrana brought in Pablo ...

[January 4, 2023] Without doing too many spectacular things, Torre had a neat and effective first half whenever he was given the ball. The 19-year-old has struggled for game time since arriving, but what little he has had, Torre is taking.

It now seems that Lewandowski is set to be sidelined, although it may not be as simple as all that with suggestions Barca could still appeal the decision again.

Reliable reports Lewandowski's appeal been rejected and three-game ban will kick in on Sun vs. It may go on & on & on ffs— Samuel Marsden (@samuelmarsden) Barça have not received notification of that yet and will decide next step if/when they do.

Barca hope to start their Copa del Rey on a bright note with a win against Intercity.

Barcelona will next travel to rivals Atletico Madrid in the league for a crucial fixture on 8th January. They have already drawn to Barcelona's B team in the league earlier this season. They will be looking to add to their impressive list of trophies by winning it again this year.

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski is set to miss Barcelona's next three games after a ban was finally upheld following an unsuccessful appeal.

Bizarrely, it is possible they could appeal the ban again, but it remains to be seen what the outcome would be. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Lewandowski is a massive loss for Barcelona, and the team must now figure out how to line up without him. The frontman was punished after picking up a second yellow card and subsequently making a gesture in his side's La Liga contest against Osasuna on November 8.

Chelsea transfer news: The Blues could miss out on another player to Barcelona after a summer of back-and-forth moves.

Haaland and Moukoko played together at Dortmund between 2020 and 2022 before the Norwegian left to join Manchester City over the summer. Barcelona don't see it that way though with confidence on their side that he will either renew his deal or move to Camp Nou over the summer. [Borussia Dortmund youngster Youssoufa Moukoko is one of the hottest forwards on the market](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-transfer-youssoufa-moukoko-contract-25888319) having scored six league goals in 14 matches. That wasn't the end of the pair coming face to face with each other though. The Catalan giants also managed to beat Chelsea to the signings of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Kounde and resigned Ousmane Dembele.
