Olmo and Víctor travel with Barcelona for Spanish Super Cup: will they play?
Barcelona has travelled to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup matches, and the squad list accompanying the Catalan delegation has raised some eyebrows.
Details: According to Barcelona's press office, Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, who are not currently registered for La Liga matches, have travelled with the team for the semifinal against Athletic Bilbao.
The club is awaiting a decision from the Superior Sports Council, which will clarify their eligibility. However, it remains uncertain whether they will be allowed to participate in the Super Cup matches.
The squad also includes 17-year-old midfielder Marc Bernal, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury in August 2024. His chances of featuring this season remain minimal.
Reminder: The unresolved situation regarding registration with Barcelona also raises questions about Olmo’s availability for the Spanish national team.
