Griezmann not training on Thursday due to personal reasons, Pique in main group: COPE

Antoine Griezmann is missing from Barcelona's training on Thursday due to personal reasons, Helena Condis of COPE reports.

Gerard Pique, meanwhile, joined the main group today despite some reports suggesting that the centre-back is 'practically ruled out' for Saturday's El Clasico.

It remains to be seen if the Frenchman will feature against Real Madrid after missing today's session but there's still a possibility of Pique's involvement on the weekend.

'Mbappe's already more clutch than Messi ever was': Fan tweets reactionary nonsense, gets instant backlash from Cules

While the Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo debate is doomed to drag on forever, there are indeed some fans who think that Kylian Mbappe is "already a much more clutch footballer than Messi ever was".

Well, such claims are simply outrageous or hilarious, if you like, given the fact that the Frenchman is not even close to the Argentine's level.

There's no need to mention Leo's accolades as he's arguably become the greatest ever player before turning 34 but there are a few Barcelona fans who have reminded @MrFilipeOrlando about the difference between Messi and the Paris Saint-Germain starlet.

Koeman is a 'big fan' of Wijnaldum but there's no agreement between player and Barcelona: Fabrizio Romano

"There is nothing signed between Wijnaldum and Barcelona. There are contacts, yes, because Koeman is a big fan of him," Fabrizio Romano has said on the Here We Go Podcast.

"Liverpool’s last offer for Wijnaldum was a 3-year contract with the same salary. Let’s see what he will decide. For now, the feelings are still negative and they are waiting for the final decision."

Ronald Koeman's fellow Dutchman has been on Barca's radar ever since the former's appointment in Camp Nou dugout last summer.

The 30-year-old is out of contract in June and could join the Catalans on a free transfer this summer as well as Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia - the other two main targets of Koeman.
