Barcelona’s wantaway star Lionel Messi has drawn another line under his involvement with the Catalan club by refusing to show for pre-season training and COVID-19 tests at the club.

Catalonia police are treating this morning's attack on a police station in Barcelona as a terrorist act. A knife-wielding man attempted to enter the site reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar" and was shot by officers.

Neither Messi nor Iniesta played a direct part in the first of the five goals, the one that set the Catalan giants on their way.

Barcelona hailed Lionel Messi as 'The King' and he handed Chelsea the royal punishment by scoring twice to reach 100 Champions League goals and end their quarter-final hopes.

Brazil forward Neymar says it is "sad" that people think his world-record move from Barcelona to Paris St-Germain was motivated by money.

Lionel Messi struck twice as Barcelona beat 10-man Valencia in a thrilling match to move two points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Barcelona can retain its title, making it eight in 12 years and 24 in club history, with a victory at Granada.
