FC Barcelona remains in the news mainly through the broader social context in Spain, where new articles covered the continuation of Pope Leo XIV's visit, the Primavera Sound festival, and events in Barcelona. On Tuesday, the Pope concluded the Madrid part of his program with a meeting with volunteers at the Ifema complex and was subsequently due to travel to Barcelona. El Pais ↗
In Barcelona, he faces ceremonies at the cathedral and a prayer vigil with young people at the Olympic Stadium. Security measures rank among the largest in the history of the Mossos d'Esquadra, with more than 7,000 police officers set to be deployed. The situation is complicated by a teachers' strike, traffic restrictions, and the start of the PAU entrance exams in Catalonia, which, according to available reports, began without incident. El Pais ↗
The city's music program was supplemented by Olivia Rodrigo, who was to make a surprise appearance at the Primavera Sound festival on Saturday evening. Her concert follows on from previous collaboration with Spotify and FC Barcelona. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez traveled to Barcelona on Saturday for the Gorillaz concert and met with singer Damon Albarn. El Mundo ↗
Previous football-related information remains valid. Barcelona is monitoring the development of the squad following the arrival of Anthony Gordon and is also addressing the situation of young goalkeeper Áron Yaakobishvili after his loan spell at FC Andorra. The broader picture is rounded out by Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi, who was honored with the Princess of Asturias Award in the field of sports. Index.hu ↗
Meanwhile, public discussion in Spain about the Pope's trip continues. More than 1.2 million people attended the Mass in Madrid, and Barcelona is expected to face a further surge of pressure on traffic, security, and public services. Deutschlandfunk ↗
