Today's 5⃣ stories: Bastoni and Julián want Barça, Bayern champions... After a weekend in which a lot happened, and ahead of a week in which even more will happen, here are the five stories of the day... These are the stories you can’t afford to miss...

Real Madrid will look to win the Champions League... at youth level 📸 FABRICE COFFRINI - AFP or licensors After the first team’s lack of success, Real Madrid’s academy is gearing up for a historic occasion.

Haaland turns the Premier League upside down 📸 Carl Recine - 2026 Getty Images This past weekend’s Manchester City-Arsenal clash looked crucial in the Premier League title race... and it was. The Citizens ended up winning thanks to a Haaland goal, after strikes from Cherki and Havertz following a Donnarumma error.

So where does that leave things now? Guardiola’s side are three points behind Arsenal, but they have a game in hand. Even so, if they finish level on points, it will all come down to goal difference, which right now favours the Gunners by one goal.
