Spanish Super Cup News

Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic has urged everyone not to treat him like a ‘sack of potatoes’ after he was linked with several top European outfits. The playmaker has been one of the most influential players for the Spanish side since 2014 but has struggled to get game-time over the last few years.

Al Sadd general manager Turki Al Ali has said that as of today Xavi remains the manager of the Qatari club despite reports suggesting interest from Barcelona. Barca manager Ernesto Valverde may face the axe after a disappointing 3-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in the semi-final of the Spanish super cup.
