🥐 Vini and Mbappé reassure, Barça options... 5️⃣ to start Monday | OneFootball

The day begins marked by relief in Brazil’s camp and strategic moves in the offices of Europe’s biggest clubs.

With the international break nearing its end, the spotlight is on Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé because of how their minutes are being managed, while the transfer market is starting to heat up with statements that could change the fate of several stars this summer.

On the domestic front, women’s football has once again laid down the law with another statement win from FC Barcelona, leaving Liga F all but decided after an unquestionable Clásico. 

Vinicius breathes easy and sets his sights on Croatia

The Brazilian national team has received great news. Vinicius Jr. has returned to group training after Saturday’s scare. The Real Madrid winger, who was absent as a precaution due to muscle discomfort, now appears ready for the clash against Croatia, clearing up doubts about his fitness.

Enzo Fernández’s nod to Madrid

Despite denying any recent contact with Real Madrid, Enzo Fernández has left the door open to a future in Spain. In an interview, the Chelsea midfielder admitted his fondness for the Spanish capital: “I like Madrid,” he said, making it clear that players’ wishes often shape their destiny.

Mbappé manages his workload with France

On the international stage, France beat Colombia (1-3) in a match in which Kylian Mbappé played only 16 minutes. It was a clear case of workload management by Deschamps. Meanwhile, Camavinga ends this international break without having secured a starting spot, returning to Madrid less worn out than expected.

Barça activate their market “Plan B”

The Blaugrana sporting department is wasting no time. Amid uncertainty over Rashford and Cancelo, the club is closely monitoring Virgili, Schjelderup, Cambiaso and Grimaldo. In addition, the name of Álex Remiro is gaining momentum for the goalkeeper position if the deal with the Polish keeper Szczesny is ultimately not extended.

Another Barça blow in the Clásico

FC Barcelona Femení once again showed their dominance after beating Real Madrid in Liga F. With goals from Ona Batlle, Alexia Putellas (her favorite victim), and an own goal from Lakrar, the Blaugrana have all but wrapped up the league title and sent a warning ahead of the Champions League second leg.
