Barcelona set to use last season's kit for second straight week
It seems like registration issues aren't the only problems Barcelona is facing with La Liga.
According to Sport, Barcelona are once again being told they can't debut any of their new kits as they clash with their next opponent in Levante.
Once again, Barcelona will have to dawn the infamous green alternate jersey from last season which gives Barcelona fans bad memories of their Champions League defeat.
The Problem
The problem Barcelona seem to face is a more strict policy from La Liga on jersey and short clashes.
The home kit of Barcelona clashes with Levante as they both have red and blue stripes which is fair enough. The red also clashed with Mallorca's red home jersey.
For the away kit it appears that it's a matter of shorts clashing with Barcelona's being black and Levante's being a dark blue. The black shorts also clashed with Mallorca's red shorts.
For the Mallorca game, Barca didn't wear their third kit for this season as it's yet to be released by Nike. Barcelona are set to release the third kit this week but La Liga still believe that there is a clash of kits.
It is rumored that the orange third kit will have navy blue shorts that La Liga believe will clash with Levante's home jersey.
Back To Last Year
With La Liga's stance, Barcelona will once again just use last year's third kit which means Culers will have to wait another week to see any of their team's new jerseys.
They will hope that this is the last of their jersey issues this season.

Joan Laporta sends public message to Barcelona director Deco
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has late this week moved to reveal his appreciation for the recent efforts of club director Deco on the registration front. This of course comes fresh off an altogether productive 24 hours for those behind the scenes at the Camp Nou. Barcelona are primed to kick the defence of their La Liga title into gear on Saturday evening, in a meeting with Mallorca at Son Moix. In the buildup to the clash, the Blaugrana were left in very real danger of being forced to make do without either of their high-profile summer signings. This came as Joan García and Marcus Rashford remained unregistered owing to financial constraints. In the end, though, Deco and his team of directors managed to get the job done, navigating the complicated path placed before them by La Liga to ensure that Joan and Rashford will be at the disposal of Hansi Flick at Son Moix. And as alluded to above, the significance of as much has not been at all lost on Barca president Joan Laporta. Speaking during an appearance in front of the media on Saturday, Laporta explained: 'I said it last night that Deco was working very well on this issue and that we were convinced we could count on both players today. We have to congratulate Deco on this issue, which, as you can see, is not easy.' Conor Laird – GSFN

‘What you notice about Kylan Mbappe is…' – Xabi Alonso on individuals and Franco Mastantuono
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso appeared most happy with match-winner Kylian Mbappe and debutant Franco Mastantuono following his first La Liga game in charge. Their 1-0 win over Osasuna was also occasion for kind words for the returning Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao. Los Blancos ran out victors in the end with two debuts in Alvaro Carreras and Mastantuono, while Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold also made their first appearances at the Santiago Bernabeu. 'What I saw was that neither the shirt nor the Bernabeu weighed on them. The four of them had performances, that were good, serious, perhaps not spectacular, but correct. Franco ruffled some feathers when he came on, and added attitude. I'm happy with the victory though, and I'm happy to return to the Bernabeu. You imagine what you can achieve, and it excites you.' Outside of Huijsen, Mastantuono was perhaps the most exciting of the lot. 'We saw some of the things we could get out of him, and he has the look of a good player right? It's true he hasn't been training with us, but he has been preparing himself. And today, well the emotional side maybe weighs more than the physical.' Alonso notes difference in Kylian Mbappe The new Real Madrid manager also felt that he was seeing a difference in Mbappe, whether it be down to him wearing the number 10 or not. 'I think Kylian, after the first year, and having done a lot of good things, wants more. I don't know if that is becuase of a number, or his ambition to win. If he can give more on a collective level, on an individual level, and it's because of the number, fantastic. But what you notice about Kylian, on a day to day basis, is that he wants more. He generated those plays that were a little bit different, that he always does, that end up being decisive.' Image via Nur Photo / Getty Images 'Carva is back around here' – Alonso Another player that earned praise from Alonso was Arda Guler, who started and was only withdrawn in stoppage time – a relative rarity for him last season. 'Since we've been here, he's been taking steps forward, not just without the ball, but his way of managing position, his way of connecting the team, of engaging. And in the first half he made some good runs back, recovered the ball and allowed us to continue attacking. This is what we have to keep pushing him towards, he is doing it, and we're happy with him.' The Basque manager was also happy with his backline. It was a momentous occasion for Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, who returned to action at the Santiago Bernabeu for the first time since October and November respectively. 'Very happy with Dean, who deserved to start. I was very happy for Militao too, after the injury, he played a very serious game.' 'Not only what he can give on the pitch, but off it. He's a captain, he's spent many hours at the Bernabeu, he knows what you have to do to win, and he has to communicate that to the others. He will be fundamental for us. And Carva is now back.'

Xabi Alonso assesses first Real Madrid Liga win and claims ‘nothing is going on' with Rodrygo Goes
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso seemed content with the three points to begin their La Liga campaign on Tuesday night, but ready to see more from his side going forward. The Basque manager also responded to more doubts over the future of Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes, after he remained on the bench and without minutes. Los Blancos secured a 1-0 victory over Osasuna with Kylian Mbappe leading the way for the home side, winning the penalty and scoring it in the second half. Alonso was conscious that his team had lacked penetration though. 'It's clear that there were good things, and things to improve. After just two weeks of preseason, it's clear the journey is long. We lacked a bit of freshness in the final third, but we were organised, and against a low block, maybe it was difficult for us to create chances.' 'But there were good things, and bad, the team is getting better, and getting into rhythm. We know we have two games before the break, and the team is getting fit.' Difficulty breaking down Osasuna Alonso explained that they had trouble breaking down Los Rojillo, who were only breached by Mbappe's penalty, and their best efforts in the first half were from long-range courtesy of Dean Huijsena and Eder Militao. 'It was difficult, they were jumping onto us, floating in 5-3-2 and in 5-4-1 sometimes, it was difficult to find spaces. We tried to get to the by-line with Vinicius and Carreras, but we didn't manage to find that last pass to create clear opportunities. In the second half, maybe they got out a bit more, and recovered the ball quicker, as they risked more. But it's part of the adaptation process.' Image via Marca He continued on to note that Real Madrid had prepared for an Osasuna side that would keep their defensive line a little higher. 'We've not had much time to prepare. We expected Osasuna to be higher, from what we saw in preseason, and against a low block, we've not been able to train much in these two weeks. We needed to get more players into the area, to explode into space more, know when to risk more, or when to attack from a second ball. But no doubt we will prepare for that, and we will work on it.' 'There's nothing going on with Rodrygo' – Alonso The Real Madrid coach continued to deny that the absence of Rodrygo Goes was not related to his future or a change of role. The Brazilian was an unused substitute, making it just one start in seven matches that Alonso has been in charge of. 'There's nothing going on with Rodrygo. We have to put it in context. The Club World Cup was different, I think we can leave it behind, and this was just one game. I'm counting on him, what's important is this season, and we don't have to read too much into this for the future.' 'If in three months, he has the same amount of minutes, then I can answer you. But today, it was about the circumstances of the match, and my decisions during it.' Rodrygo bottom of the pecking order Rodrygo has been subject to intense speculation over his Real Madrid career this summer, and understandably, given he has featured for just 93 minutes in their last 12 games, seemingly without injury. It may well be that Real Madrid are keen not to risk injuring Rodrygo before the end of the transfer window on the off-chance that he does move, but on Tuesday he saw Franco Mastantuono, Vinicius Junior, Brahim Diaz and Gonzalo Garcia Torres all used in roles he has played in the past ahead of him.
