The 23-year-old La Masia product shone in crossing drills, as captured in an 18-second clip shared by BarcaTimes, prompting calls to challenge Balde at left-back after his error-filled showing in the 4-0 Copa del Rey loss to Atlético Madrid on February 12. Balde managed zero defensive actions in 77 minutes during that first-half collapse, fueling fan frustration despite his prior contributions. While some defend Balde's heavy workload without winger help, Martín's versatility and recent heroics—like a goal-line clearance against Albacete—have intensified pressure for rotation ahead of today's La Liga clash with Girona.

Key Takeaway

Gerard Martín whipped in pinpoint crosses during Monday's training at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, drawing instant fan praise like 'cooking those crosses' aimed straight at Alejandro Balde.

After a 4-0 Copa del Rey thrashing by Atletico Madrid and a 2-1 La Liga defeat to Girona, Barcelona sits two points behind Real Madrid with 14 games left.

Key Takeaway

Barcelona's recent losses stung, but manager Hansi Flick sees hope in Pedri's imminent return. The young midfielder's absence has left the team's rhythm off-kilter.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring early with a header from Martinelli's lay-off, and Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 soon after halftime, but Hugo Bueno pulled one back and debutant Tom Edozie leveled in the 90+4th minute via Riccardo Calafiori's own goal. Martinelli assisted the opener and had chances, yet drew ire for heavy touches, poor passes, and no further impact, with fans calling his play stagnant and lacking killer instinct. The draw cuts Arsenal's lead over Manchester City to five points ahead of the North London derby, as Declan Rice showed his fury by ripping off his shirt at full time.

Key Takeaway

Arsenal raced to a 2-0 lead at Molineux, only for a second-half meltdown to hand Wolves a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time. Fans turned their frustration squarely on Gabriel Martinelli's shaky display.
