Gerard Deulofeu scored his first goal for Barcelona in a 2-0 victory over Malaga at Camp Nou.
Barcelona extended their unbeaten start to the La Liga season to nine games with a 2-0 win against Malaga at Camp Nou on Saturday.
Gerard Deulofeu opened the scoring in the second minute, although the goal came in controversial circumstances, with the ball having gone out of play prior to Lucas Digne delivering the assist.

It’s difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction in the transfer window, but it can be said with increasing certainty that signing Hector Bellerin, Marco Verratti and Ousmane Dembele would represent Barcelona’s dream summer — from the club’s point of view, at least.
The main problem is — and it’s quite a big obstacle — none of the three players’ respective clubs want to sell. None of them have to sell, either. And Barca’s budget, pending any sales, is likely to restrict them from…

Samuel Umtiti has told L’Equipe that Barcelona would love to bring Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele to the Camp Nou this summer as they seek to close the gap on rivals Real Madrid.

Given he is just a year into a five-year contract…

To save one penalty in a round-of-16 tie might be regarded as useful; to save two is magnificent and although Sevilla’s Steven N’Zonzi did not give Schmeichel the hardest of jobs, the Leicester ‘keeper still had to guess correctly and anticipate the ball’s direction. It would be remiss not to point out that he had…

Barcelona have had their most inconsistent season thus far, the FC crew debate if their dominance is coming to a close.
Memories of the 4-0 drubbings by Bayern Munich in 2013 and AC Milan in 1994 came rushing back as Barca endured a nightmarish 90 minutes to rival those two debacles as their worst ever European night. Luis Enrique’s side were utterly overwhelmed by Unai Emery’s men, the Spaniard enjoying a dish of revenge served extra cold after suffering so many defeats at the hands of Barca over the years.
