Frenkie de Jong will be out for approximately six weeks. Sometimes I think it might be good for someone to be out for six weeks so that they get less tired. Even so, we have to wait for him to regain his fitness once he returns.

Messi wore the original Tunit boots, which were pretty damn innovative for Adidas at the time, and a sign of football boots moving to a more plastic-looking material and away from the traditional black leather that we all knew and loved.

As the world locked down in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, heads of state globally took to television in sombre suits and ties to deliver grave news. Maduro, on the other hand, appeared on Venezuelan state television wearing a full, bright blue FC Barcelona tracksuit. In a video released shortly after, he jokingly pointed to the club crest on his chest, claiming he had been "signed" by the club as a "refuerzo" (reinforcement) for the squad.
