FC Barcelona’s decision for João Félix
We start this press review with the clash between Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona which will take place this evening at 9 p.m. A great duel, post it Mundo Deportivo on its front page. A special meeting for Joao Felix since he belongs to the Colchoneros. This Sunday, the newspaper A.S. reports information regarding the future of the Portuguese. With less than four months until the end of his loan, his future is still undecided. In the numbers, he appeared in 33 games, but of the possible 2,970 minutes, he only played 1,777, or 60%. With eight goals and five assists, the striker has often been targeted for his irregularity. Seeing Barça break the bank to permanently secure his services seems improbable. A new loan seems to be the only way to see Joao Felix continue at FC Barcelona. It’s up to him to prove in recent months and that includes a performance this evening against Atlético de Madrid.
A record and an injury for Harry Kane
We head to Germany and not a weekend goes by without seeing Harry Kane’s name on the notice board. No exception against Darmstard, the bottom of the Bundesliga. A victory and worries, sums up Bild. Kane scored his 31st Bundesliga goal of the season. For the Englishman, it is a personal best. He’s doing better than his two best seasons at Tottenham, saying it’s only his first season in Bavaria and he still has a lot of games left to improve. For the Mundo Deportivo, he now represents a real threat to Robert Lewandowski, author of 41 goals in 2020-21 in the league. But the Englishman was injured. By trying to cut a cross from Jamal Musiala, the attacker was unable to stop his run and came to die on the post, as relayed Bild in its interior pages. In England, the Daily Mirror explains that we tremble for the serial scorer of the Three Lions. The captain is expected to play two gala matches against Brazil and Belgium.
Vinicius still suspended
Return to Spain with Real Madrid who calmly played yesterday against Osasuna, a 4-2 victory which allows the Menregues to consolidate their leadership position with 10 points ahead of Girona, second and 11 points over Barça, third. Brahim Diaz scored again just like the Brazilian who seems to be finding his best form at the best of times. For MarcaIt is “the leader’s leader” with his 6 goals in his last 4 matches. “Vinicius, doubled and goodbye”, writes the daily in its interior pages. By taking his fifth yellow card for protesting against a referee’s decision, Vinicius Jr will be suspended for the next La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao. As a result, he will no longer wear the Madrid jersey for a month and the Champions League clash against Manchester City. Enough to anger his coach Carlo Ancelotti who must be wondering how to change the temperament of his player.
