Luis Suarez hits 100th La Liga goal for Barcelona against Real Betis

Barcelona's 5-0 win over Real Betis on Sunday was a brilliant result, but it was also a pretty sweet night for Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan scored twice in the match and now has 100 La Liga goals, in just 114 appearances - that’s some going.
Suarez is also only the second Uruguayan to reach a century of goals in La Liga, behind Diego Forlan.
Congratulations Luis Suarez and keep ‘em coming!

XAVI: BARCELONA HAVE BEEN SLEEPING ON THEIR IDEALS

The former Blaugrana midfielder has called for a return to the club's Cantera style, and backs Ernesto Valverde to be a success at Camp Nou Barcelona legend Xavi says the club have been "sleeping" on their own model of play, with La Masia graduates now rarely getting a chance to shine in the first team. Xavi was chief playmaker in a Barca side that swept all before them, while remaining strongly rooted in Catalan ideals, coached by Pep Guardiola and captained by Carles Puyol, with the likes of Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Victor Valdes providing more home-grown heroes. Luis Enrique's reign continued the Blaugrana's trophy glut, including a treble in the Asturian's first campaign at Camp Nou, but he was often criticised for moving Barca away from the style that had been put in place by Guardiola - including the use of youth-team players. Barca have brought La Masia graduate Gerard Deulofeu back to the club this off-season, having done likewise ...

Barca agree deal for Gremio’s Arthur.

Barcelona have a reached an agreement in principle with Brazilian club Gremio to sign midfielder Arthur next year in a deal worth up to 40 million euros ($49.2 million), according to reports in Spain on Wednesday. “FC Barcelona have taken an almost definitive step to seal the recruitment of Arthur,” wrote Catalan daily Sport, who reported the transfer fee would be 30 million euros with a further 10 million in bonuses.

Barcelona consider new approach to try and land Verratti?

Thought you’d heard the last of the Marco Verratti to Barcelona  saga? Well think again, because it seems this one still has plenty left to run, with the latest reports claiming a change of approach from Barca. Instead of simply offering Paris Saint-Germain a huge amount of money for their midfielder, Sport claim Barca could instead offer cash plus a certain Ivan Rakitic. They even go so far as to say that while PSG want €100m for Verratti, they would also be willing to accept €70m plus Rakitic. Why Rakitic you ask? Well, Unai Emery is a big fan of the midfielder, having worked with him at Sevilla,  and will demand a replacement should Verratti go. But wait, hang on, according to Sport there’s another important factor in this deal and that’s none other than Kylian Mbappe. The report claims PSG would only consider selling Verratti if, and this is a huge if, they land the most sought-after player in Europe at the moment, Mbappe. The Monaco striker is expected to cost...
