Barça are back. La Liga is back. Football is back. The long, protracted wait is finally over.
The last time we saw FC Barcelona in action was in early March, in a narrow 1-0 win against Real Sociedad. Since then, the world has been gripped by a multitude of seemingly catastrophic events, including a global pandemic. Football has been, to put it mildly, on the backburner. Yet, with a trip to Mallorca only two days away, Barça are very much front and center in the news narrative in Spain. They sit with a two-point cushion at the top of the Primera Division and have been bolstered by the return of Luis Suárez.
