The table is so tight that the title race and the fight to survive relegation looks like going to the wire, with teams battling for Europe still also looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone.

Al Qadisiyah were willing to offer Barcelona €60 million for Olmo and a four-year contract that would have made him one of the highest-paid Spanish players.

They are paying the consequences of the lack of leaders, players with good technique and confidence in the youngsters. In Italy, Lamine Yamal and Musiala would probably play in Serie B to gain experience. And that can't be.

Joao Cancelo put in another impressive showing for Barcelona against Atletico on Saturday night in La Liga as the Catalan giants ran out 2-1 winners and moved seven points clear at the top of the table.

It pains me that a figure like Lamine had to go through that. The image Spain has projected is not the one I know. It's a disgrace. Lamine didn't deserve what he went through.

Luis de la Fuente expressed 'total and absolute disgust' for the behavior of some Spanish fans, stating that 'any form of xenophobia, racism or disrespect' is absolutely unacceptable. He emphasized that 'violent people use football to carve out a space for themselves' and must be removed from society.

"He's already one of the best in the world at that age. He's a unique player, one we all enjoy watching every time he plays. I think Barcelona really notices it when Pedri isn't there."
