Watch: Barcelona star furiously lashes out on bench after not being brought on vs Celta Vigo

Barcelona were of course back in action earlier today, welcoming the aforementioned Celta to Catalunya's capital for a league clash.
When all was said and done, despite at one point having trailed by three goals to one, the Blaugrana emerged triumphant, owing to an explosive 2nd-half comeback.
Forced to watch on from the sideline as his teammates took another step towards La Liga glory, though, was the aforementioned Ansu Fati.
Wide-man Ansu was sent out to warm up during the 2nd-half at Montjuïc on Saturday, evidently keen to contribute towards the hosts' comeback efforts.
In the end, however, he was not called upon by boss Hansi Flick to take to the pitch.

Karl-Anthony Towns' message for Ricky Rubio after guard's cryptic post
The post Karl-Anthony Towns' message for Ricky Rubio after guard's cryptic post appeared first on ClutchPoints. Last season, Ricky Rubio stepped away from basketball and said that his NBA career would be over after 12 seasons as he addressed his mental health issues. He then returned to action with Barcelona in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and with the Spanish national team in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers. Since then, he had been pretty much quiet on social media, but he recently shared a cryptic message about his career. Advertisement 'I took this year to reflect on my career and my life, and I've realized that if I've gotten to where I am today, it's not because of the assists I've given, but because of the assists I've received,' Rubio wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'This isn't a goodbye, it's a thank you to all the people who have helped me along the way.' This message led many people to probably think that Rubio was done playing for good, and it caught Karl-Anthony Towns off guard because he had a message for him on Instagram. 'Incredible journey [Ricky Rubio] Enjoy this next chapter,' Towns wrote on his story. Towns and Rubio played with each other on the Minnesota Timberwolves back in the day. Is Ricky Rubio retiring? Though Rubio posted that initial message of thanking everybody in his career, he circled back and gave clarity on what he was trying to say. Advertisement 'This is something I'd like to make clear. This isn't a farewell,' Rubio said. 'It's simply a thank you. It comes from my year of reflection, and I wanted to do something that's rarely done: to thank those who have been or are important to you. But it has no other message. 'I don't know yet what will happen with my career. That should be the next thing to think about. This is something that came to mind now, and I want to convey it now that I'm back professionally, although I'm forced to stop due to health issues.' Rubio returned to European basketball in 2024 for the first time since 2011, as he joined Barcelona in February to focus on his mental health. He parted ways with the club at the end of the season. During the 2023–24 season, he averaged 17 minutes, 4.7 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.2 rebounds. With his clarifying message, it looks like Rubio is not sending his farewells and is leaving the door open. Advertisement 'I might play again – why not? – or I might not, and that wouldn't be a bad idea either. It's something I'd like to consider in the near future,' Rubio said.

So much so that Joan Laporta, it is claimed, has already begun pushing the former Manchester City's name in internal discussions.

Advertisement Barca's away kit for 2025/26 comes as the latest addition to the 'Mamba' range, part of a collaboration with the late Kobe Bryant's personal brand. Conor Laird – GSFN
