7 d. ago La Liga belongs to Barcelona again. Here’s how they did the double | Sid Lowe

Change of culture came under fire amid mid-season slump but blend of youth and experience proved unstoppableWay after midnight and visiting hours had long since finished but they had only just got started and they weren’t going to leave the patient with appendicitis lying there alone, not at a time like this. So Pedri González, Dani Olmo, Iñigo Martínez and Eric García rented four city bikes and cycled up Avinguda Diagonal in the dark.
