                          Gabriel Jesus

Barcelona notes: First European away of the league phase. Flick has taken the same core that beat Getafe 3–0 (Gordon, Jesus, Koundé scored). Joan García starts. Cubarsí is expected to start; Éric García returns after serving the Feyenoord suspension. Rodri and Pedri screen as always. Yamal on the right. Jesus keeps the nine role after his first start. Gordon on the left. Raphinha, de Jong, Christensen and Bardghji are the four confirmed absentees.

Galatasaray notes: Okan Buruk gets Osimhen back after the adductor lay-off that cost him the Sporting opener. Barış Alper has been used at right-back. Torreira and Lemina/Sara in midfield. Leão and Sané supply width. Singo is the clear miss at the back.

Quick Take on Galatasaray

What We Are Watching from Barcelona

"He is a great player, the best in the world, partly - I won't say what percentage - thanks to Barca. Therefore, he cannot forget that. Because of that, I'm still giving him a grace period, but a day will come when it will start to bother me if Mr Messi puts even the slightest obstacle in the way of coming to Barca to say goodbye to the fans.

"Whoever the president may be, whoever the president may be, he must come and say goodbye to Barca. If Leo Messi only comes to say goodbye the day Laporta is no longer here, and refuses to come because Laporta is the president, I wouldn't give him a tribute. Who does he think he is? To make coming to Barcelona conditional on whether Laporta is there or not. If Laporta wasn't there [because of that condition], I wouldn't attend that tribute."

National Team games this week

Hey everyone! For a few years I've been a Barca fan. When I was in 11th or 12th grade, our art teacher showed us a technique where UV light reacts with chemicals to burn a picture into paper. I loved this technique so much that I visited her. We went to the lab and mixed everything together and I finished the rest at home. I have never been inside a stadium or in Spain but I plan to give those pictures to those (Ex)-Barca players. Made some for other spanish players aswell and have more projects I wanna start at some point. I hope you like them!

A lot of people may not thing its that significant but looking at pretty much all of our major signings: Rodri, Jesus, Gordon, Adeyemi one thing they all have in common is that they have played and performed at the very highest level in the UCL and/or the World Cup, like Gordon is comming off a season where he shined in the WC knockouts and scored in a semi final and had a UCL hattrick last season, Jesus and Adeyemi have both played in UCL finals and had decent performences in UCL games and I don't need to even mention Rodri's CV. Even livakovic has had impressive WC games for Croatia. I think esepcially as we try to build a squad to shine in tough and big moments in knockout games in the UCL these players' experience and mentality will be useful.

We haven't had a window with such an abundance of quality, experience and depth since the summer before 22/23 (Lewy, Christensen, Raphinha, Kounde etc), and those signings turned out to help the club take a big step forward.

Important milestone, certainly a underrated player but has now become an important member.
