Another three points as FC Barcelona were made to work hard for their victory away to Levante Badalona (0-2). Marta and Alexia scored the goals in the second half to confirm victory and maintain a four point lead at the top of the league ahead of Real Madrid. It wasn't easy. After qualifying for the Champions League final, a much changed FC Barcelona side had to dig deep to break the deadlock against a combative and defensive Levante Badalona. Chance creation was difficult, with a Salma shot and a Marta Torrejón header not enough during a first half when both María and Cata Coll had little to do. Pajor, Alexia, and Aitana made the difference when they came on, but none of them were involved in the opener. Claudia Pina put in a superb corner, and Patri and Marta did the rest with two headers.  No change even at 0-1 as Pere Romeu's side dominated possession, but the woodwork and home keeper prevented further goals, despite Pajor and Alexia's best efforts. Reward came in the final push, Alexia scoring a penalty to seal the win. A tough match that brought three more points to make the lead four in the league table, ahead of Real Madrid, with another match chalked off as the season draws to a close.

wrapping up his week in Spain with the Bears Check out Edmunds' postcard from his final stop and hear about his experience teaching American football I'm checking back in from Badalona on our final day of Mini Monsters clinics in Spain It's been such an incredible week experiencing a new culture and all of the beautiful cities I was taking the train from Madrid to Valencia Valencia was definitely more of a beach vibe My fiancée joined me there and when we got to the city burning of the fires and everything like that It was a coincidence that our hotel was right beside one of the neighborhoods that was celebrating she was able to reminisce on her time there and really just take that culture back in Experiencing a city like that together was special – trying new foods enjoying life and taking it one day at a time It's been great to share these memories with her because as we all know especially as we get back to football season I think our favorite part overall is the food I don't think I've had one bad meal here and I'm not even exaggerating I've definitely been trying different Spanish dishes while also having more standard foods like steak or fish We've been to some great spots and all the food has been fire Now we're wrapping up the trip in Badalona There was some rain the first couple days here I'm excited to explore the city a little bit more before we leave I've had the best time helping out with our Mini Monsters clinics jump around and have fun is something that I appreciate because that's what it's supposed to be you're at a life stage where there shouldn't be a stress factor It's the best time in your life because you can be out here with your peers express your passion and express your personality through sports Running around and having fun with the kids here has definitely brought out the kid in me but to be able to bring out your inner child is therapeutic Teaching American football in a different country to kids who may or not have played it before has been a learning experience for me as well Breaking down fundamentals or skills I learned early in life ones that I don't even think about an a daily basis now I feel like I'm re-learning the sport that I've been playing my entire life because the moment you stop learning is the moment you stop improving Perfecting your craft is always a constant journey It's a constant quest to working toward a certain point and once you get there Being able to teach kids the small details of the sport is so refreshing I'm just having an amazing time travelling the world experiencing new cultures and appreciating the fruits of our labor I say ours because I don't do any of this by myself That's the reason why I always like to bring family along on these trips because it feels better to take in the experience with people you love I'm grateful for our Bears staff here that has been with me on this trip and in the United Kingdom last year It's always fun to build new memories with them as well because we all work hard and sometimes it's OK to take a step back and enjoy this time it doesn't feel like work because we're having so much fun I'm having fun teaching this sport and seeing parts of the world I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to see again Thanks for following along on our trip to Spain and I'll see everyone back in Chicago soon checks in from

Cruyff their second by the same scoreline in 2025 as Pere Romeu's side continue to set the pace in the Liga F It was Barça's first game in front of their fans at the Estadi Johan Cruyff in 2025 There was a lot of pre-match excitement and the blaugranes didn't disappoint in the first Catalan derby of the calendar year The path to victory was laid early when Vicky made it 1-0 after 10 minutes the young forward there to prod in the rebound after Maria saved from a Pajor cross-shot The blaugranes were in control and the side from Badalona were having trouble making inroads to generate any threatening situations The second goal came after 24 minutes and it was a special one Both Ballon d'Or winners combined – Alexia with a lovely through pass to Aitana who ran clear of the Badalona defence to slot in That goal made it 500 scored at the Estadi Johan Cruyff an outstanding feat considering that the stadium was only inaugurated in 2019 Still time for another goal before half-time a period of possession ended with Alexia again threading a ball through for the onrushing Rolfö who steered the ball across from the left for Pajor to score (3-0 a short corner routine saw Aitana cross and the Swedish international smashed a rebound into the far side of the net (min 56) but with just under a quarter of an hour left on the clock substitute Walsh slid a lovely long pass along the pitch between two Badalona players to set Pajor free in the inside right channel The Pole then crossed and found Salma at the far post to slot in the fifth (min 77) The final goal came from a stooping

10:56 AM This Monday, the so-called "antennas case" begins in court, with Badalona mayor Xavier Garcia Albiol, of the conservative People's Party (PP), as the main defendant. The case stems from Albiol’s first term as mayor (2011-2015), during which, as head of Urban Planning, he authorized the allegedly illegal installation of mobile phone antennas on the site of the city's local police headquarters. Prosecutors accuse him of urban and environmental malfeasance and are seeking a sentence of nearly three years in prison, ten years of disqualification from office, and a €9,000 fine. Albiol’s trial comes at a politically strong moment for him, following his landslide reelection in 2023, where his party secured 18 of 27 council seats. However, a conviction could force his immediate removal from office, casting uncertainty over Badalona’s political leadership and the immediate future of the local administration. Albiol told reporters outside the court on Monday morning that “all the facts, all the evidence, and what happened and what didn’t happen will be put on the table” in the trial. The mayor appeared calm before entering the court, but did not want to assess the case “out of respect for the court.” The events date back to 2012, when Vodafone requested permission to install an antenna on public land. According to the prosecution, Albiol and senior officials approved the installation despite knowing the site was not legally zoned for such use. Furthermore, no building permits, technical evaluations, or environmental licenses were issued. A second antenna, installed by Movistar later that year, also lacked authorization. Both antennas were in operation for six years, until 2018. Prosecutors request two years and ten months in prison, disqualification from public office for a decade, and fines of €9,000 each for Albiol and the officials involved, as well as demands that Vodafone and Movistar pay outstanding municipal taxes and electricity fees totaling over €25,000. The trial will run for two weeks at Barcelona’s Provincial Court and will hear testimony from over 30 people, including police officers, municipal staff, and technical experts. Get the day's biggest stories right to your phone Alba Redondo secures the win in the last-minute remontada Real Madrid won against Levante Badalona with a result of 3-2 in a dramatic fashion on matchday 19 of Liga F Below are my views and thoughts on the match Levante Badalona were in a 5-4-1 with a tight space between their two lines It was difficult for Las Blancas to get a pass to the forward and the main idea of the game seemed to be sending in crosses and long balls that almost never reached anyone at the front With both Yasmim and Shei as starting fullbacks who both gravitate toward the inside combined with Linda Caicedo on the left wing who does the same it wasn’t easy to create the fast-paced triangles to break their low block They're in a 5-4-1 with two tight lines, no wonder our passes can't reach the forward line. I'm not sure that we have this figured out. Where are the quick combinations in build-up when you need them? pic.twitter.com/ZmJSupZpFU Another interesting occurrence were the crosses being sent to Alba Redondo who shouldn’t be that sort of a target in the box when Bruun is more of a profile for this kind of an idea Signe Bruun got subbed on and it could be seen from her first few minutes on the pitch that she was a much better person for this job Olga’s first cross on the pitch easily reached Bruun in the box which could’ve been a goal if the Dane had received it better on her head Similar with a chance led by Athenea who sent in a ground cross to the striker it still wasn’t Bruun who got that winner in Real Madrid definitely dominated the stats but it was Badalona who took the lead in 12’ after a penalty was awarded after a three-way clash inside the penalty area Las Blancas had issues connecting a few passes in a row and they finally managed to break their low block in the last 5 minutes of the first half María Llompart stuns Real Madrid from the penalty spot, giving Levante Badalona the lead away from home!Watch live for free on DAZN ▶️ https://t.co/dIfKpURfZv #LigaF pic.twitter.com/LFRVHg338V ⚡ Eva Navarro turns Yasmim's perfect cross into hope for Real Madrid, shortly left before the break!Watch live for free on DAZN ▶️ https://t.co/dIfKpURfZv #LigaF pic.twitter.com/rEZSZisNfD A perfectly timed header from Maëlle Lakrar meets Weir's corner and Real Madrid take the lead over Levante Badalona in 1st half stoppag-time!Watch live for free on DAZN ▶️ https://t.co/dIfKpURfZv #LigaF pic.twitter.com/xxocbURGrz Just 3 minutes after coming on, Rebecca Elloh stings Real Madrid and Levante Badalona are level at 2-2!Watch live for free on DAZN ▶️ https://t.co/dIfKpURfZv #LigaF pic.twitter.com/b1ifJdhZCt ¡PURITITO REAL MADRID! ⚪Un final para cerrar la remontada en casa ✨#LigaFenDAZN ⚽ pic.twitter.com/mrBnHnoobV The late remontadas against Levante Badalona on Alfredo Di Stefano continue as tradition even after their name change from Levante Las Planas last summer A dramatic end of the match before the players take on the international break for the rest of the month Liga F requirements have forced Levante Las Planas to carry out some changes The club have rebranded under a new name and crest following their move to a new city — introducing FC Levante Badalona had some of the worst facilities in the league The stadium has stands just two metres away from the playing field and no space to accommodate media or a press zone It is no secret that most of the players and clubs complained about the facilities when playing there Levante secured their Liga F survival last season in their final game of the campaign The match against Real Sociedad was the start of a new chapter and the chance to let the club find solutions to internal problems A new home will help fulfil these needs and improve Levante’s reputation Municipal de Badalona stadium will host the team for the upcoming season The team will finally benefit from proper facilities to treat the players as professionals and the space to host some of the best teams in Europe 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐎 𝐎𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐄𝐋 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁 pic.twitter.com/lVBRJrVuzp Levante’s new facilities include stands for 4,100 people Next winter the grass will also become natural The new stadium will be shared with two more clubs CF Badalona SAD and FF Badalona were there before and their well-known men’s teams will need to train and play there as well but there is no news about them as things stand Levante’s youth teams will not move to the new ground but will stay in Sant Joan Despí changing just the colours — blue instead of red and Badalona’s flag on the left side — to align their identity and refer to the new city Behind this change, there is a large investment.

The same terms were also requested for the former manager of the municipal company, Engestur Tomás Vizcaíno, and the former director of Urban Planning Xavier Salvà. The defense requested acquittal, claiming that at most an administrative offence had occurred. Some hours after learning of his acquittal Albiol told reporters that after five “very hard” years, politically and personally, today is a day of “joy and relief” because justice has been done. Visibly emotional, he assured that the case against him was “a set-up and a big lie” because, as stated in the sentence, “there was no evidence or indication” to implicate him. “You can’t play with people like that”, he lamented. He also accused the Spanish government of “hunting for a big game piece” as the reason behind the case, and of “wanting to win in the courts what they didn’t win at the polls.” There hasn’t been a peep out of Ricky Rubio in months Will he return to his boyhood club of Joventut Badalona Emmet Ryan on the mystery surrounding the beloved Spanish star’s future It’s wild to think that this happened 18 years ago this summer That was one of many moments where a young Ricky Rubio announced himself to the basketball world Whether in a Joventut Badalona or FC Barcelona in Europe Is this the end of the road or will there yet be one more chapter A long tenured big name coming back to Europe from the NBA was always bound to draw headlines. Ricky Rubio was no different to the norm in that respect. While the self-imposed delay on the announcement was respected, we’ll get back to that, the anticipation remained To the surprise of nobody, he rejoined FC Barcelona. The side where he had won the Euroleague title all the way back in 2010. His first game back in basketball though was in a Spain jersey A home international defeat to Latvia wasn’t the ideal comeback but nobody cared Ricky Rubio was back on a basketball court Since being left out of the Spain roster for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, there has been hardly a peep from him. Save for showing up for Victor Claver’s retirement do, he has basically been off the radar. His deal with the Blaugrana completed Either Rubio is going to retire or he’ll have one last run with Joventut Badalona Just from what he has done in the sport alone Ricky Rubio has earned the right to keep us all waiting That he has come back to basketball at all after what he has been through was more than enough for us I’ve written about how writing about Ricky helped me through my own trauma over the past while What I didn’t expect was just how much his privacy would be respected at large It’s not that I don’t respect my fellow journalists We don’t all have the same approach and care yet Rubio has been able to keep no profile Rubio has been able to stay completely out of sight all summer save for the aforementioned retirement of Claver With all ACB teams bar Real Madrid having already started pre-season it’s frankly impressive that he has been able to keep his own close counsel so long Of the many Spanish sides that have reported for training camp are Joventut Badalona Ricky Rubio made his name there alongside Rudy Fernandez With the club at the end of the Barcelona metro line playing in the same stadium as the Dream Team did in 1992 before making the short journey to FCBarcelona It’s the obvious place for him to finish his career Badalona haven’t even hinted at announcing him They have made plenty of player announcements over the summer Then there was the jersey launch for this season what seemed the likely place for him to land had nothing to say about a potential return BallinEurope has a book, a real life actual book called I Like it Loud, and you can buy it on Amazon now. It’s here as a book and here in Kindle form If ever a player was to not worry about any fanfare around their retirement announcement announced his NBA retirement quietly in July of 2016 he could have enjoyed a curtain call like the fun one Kobe Bryant did the same year They just had different approaches to it all Marc Gasol rejoined Girona after finishing up in the NBA A full half season had gone by without him suiting up before formally announcing he was retiring as a player the investment and work Gasol has put in to resurrect Girona is truly commendable and website in this browser for the

Kayla McKenna latched onto a neat through ball before she drove the ball past Paula Vizoso to the visitors into the break with a slender advantage. However, Betis required just three second-half minutes to level through Carla Armengol. The 26-year-old created the space to fire an unstoppable shot into the far corner. The game served up one final moment of drama when Betis’ Esther Martín-Pozuelo was sent off in the closing stages following two bookable offences. Maëlle Lakrar opened the scoring in Real Madrid’s home encounter with Granada. The defender headed in from close range following several flick-ons from a corner. However, Edna Imade produced the Granada response, guiding the ball past Misa to find the net in a sixth consecutive game. Real Madrid eventually restored their advantage on the hour mark when Signe Bruun knocked the ball in from Linda Caicedo’s squared pass. As the match moved into added time, Eva Navarro produced a first-time shot to add a third and wrap up all three points for Las Blancas.

The coastal city, just north of Barcelona, paid tribute to all those affected by the flooding in Valencia before the official switch-on ceremony, with the tree lit up in the colors of the Valencian flag while the region's anthem played. Around 50,000 people came to the event, according to the local council, and were treated to a show of lights, music and dance, which will take place daily until the end of the holiday season.  "It's a party for everyone and everyone is welcome," Albiol said, noting that the city has become a "reference point" in Spain for celebrating Christmas. The mayor claimed that Badalona's Christmas tree was in fact the tallest in Spain, a claim also made by the Galician city of Vigo. "Let it be clear to everyone, we do not need to put a ten-meter star on top of the tree to make it taller," Albiol said. "We have the tallest tree and this is the best city in Catalonia and Spain, with the best Christmas."
