El Barça femenino volvió a bailar sobre el césped. El conjunto de Pere Romeu arrolló al HB Koge (0-8) en una nueva jornada de la fase de liga de la UEFA Women's Champions League. La exhibición ofensiva tuvo hasta siete goleadoras distintas, clave para volver a sonreír como antes del parón internacional. Las azulgranas impusieron su ritmo desde el inicio y encontraron fácilmente los espacios ante un rival incapaz de frenar su circulación. Sin embargo, el equipo se desató durante la segunda mitad para mostrar su superioridad con seis tantos.
El Barça femenino ante el HB Koge en Champions / FC Barcelona
El Barça femenino necesitaba recuperar buenas sensaciones, y qué mejor manera que en la máxima competición europea. La ausencia de Paredes obligaba a Pere Romeu a reajustar una pareja de centrales que se había convertido en su garantía defensiva. Sin embargo, Aïcha Camara volvió a responder con solvencia aportando seguridad y personalidad en los duelos.
El conjunto azulgrana tenía las ideas claras. Con la circulación rápida y la movilidad entre líneas consiguieron marcar el ritmo del partido y hacerse un hueco entre la defensa danesa. Una acción sobre Pina dentro del área terminó convirtiéndose en la oportunidad perfecta para celebrar el partido cien de Caroline Graham Hansen en Champions. La noruega fue la encargada de abrir el marcador desde los once metros para darle una mínima ventaja que no iban a desaprovechar (0-1). Además, la insistencia azulgrana volvió a encontrar premio antes del descanso. Claudia Pina encontró a Ewa Pajor con un pase filtrado que la polaca aprovechó para ampliar las distancias antes del descanso (0-2).
Lejos de conformarse con la ventaja obtenida en la primera mitad, la segunda fue un recital de goles. Tras el paso por los vestuarios, el partido siguió avanzando al son del Barça. Las azulgranas cada vez tenían más potestad encima del césped artificial jugando a lo que ellas querían. La combinación de las conexiones entre las más jóvenes y las más consolidadas protagonizaron el vendaval ofensivo.

Ben Affleck has spent so much of his adult life as tabloid fodder that some people probably know more about the alleged contents of his Dunkin' order than they do about some of his movies. Bennifer alone generated enough headlines for several lifetimes, and even relatively mundane activities tend to become internet events. Remember the Sad Affleck meme and those miserable-looking cigarette photos? Of course you do. Well, someone finally asked him about all that tabloid ink spilled on him and he's more candid than I'd ever have guessed.
During a new installment of GQ's One More Question, the outlet brought up one particularly bizarre stretch in early 2025, when the former Batman performer was simultaneously dealing with rumors that his home had burned in the Los Angeles fires and that the FBI had raided the property. His response was much more resigned than angry, as he explained:
I have them much less frequently now, which is nice, but there are still occasionally these strange flareups. At the time, there were both rumors that the FBI had raided my home and that my house had burned down. They can't both be true. It's like all these things, and then none of it turns out to be true, and ****** ody remembers it.

And while Martin has spent the past few years steadily building a fashion résumé, walking a Paris Fashion Week runway puts her in an entirely new category.
Martin made her first-ever runway appearance at Chloé's Spring/Summer 2027 ready-to-wear show in Paris, where she joined an established cast that included models Mona Tougaard, Edie Campbell, Mariacarla Boscono and Eva Herzigová. Cynthia Erivo and Claire Danes were among the famous faces watching from the front row.

The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command ****** yst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the ****** yst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.
Across the US military and the intelligence community, officials are pushing to weave AI into nearly every facet of their work, from ****** yzing the huge volumes of raw intelligence the US collects and selecting targets for strikes, to more mundane applications like managing budgeting, logistics and supply chains.

Claire Danes attended the 2026 Emmy Awards as a nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her performance in The Beast in Me.

I had an overwhelming feeling that her platinum-silver silk-satin Armani Privé one-shoulder gown, with micro-crystal embroidery along the lining, was inspired by the archives. The silhouette and futuristic feel immediately took me back to Mr Armani's Spring 2011 collection, but the design is actually based on a Silvana Armani gown from the Fall 2026 collection.
Should Claire have worn the stunning burgundy runway version?
As much as I adore that rich hue and the velvet fabric, I think Claire made the right choice. The silver feels better suited to both the occasion and her red carpet style, while still retaining everything that made the original design so striking.

Sep. 14—GRAND FORKS — UND's coaching staff has gotten its first few looks at the 2026-27 hockey team.
Due to NCAA rule changes, coaches can be on the ice with the team earlier than in the past.
"We're working out some kinks and getting the rust off," UND second-year head coach Dane Jackson said. "The professionalism, preparedness, focus and mindset of our guys has been very good. They all seem to have a real passion to come to the rink and are excited to be working. We've been really happy with the work we've been getting done."
Players initially returned to Grand Forks in July. They skated on their own for about five weeks.
Now, the coaches are working to implement systems and to sharpen details.

A-listers including Claire Danes, Noah Wyle and Kaley Cuoco stepped out to one of the hottest parties ahead of the Emmys: The Motion Picture & Television Fund's big, star-studded bash to raise funds and awareness for the organization.
The party, which was co-hosted by PEOPLE, took place at Pacific Design Center on September 13, 2026 in West Hollywood; it was the 20th annual event, held to raise money for the MPTF organization, which supports members of the entertainment industry in need. Stars from some of the biggest and most Emmy nominated shows on TV, including The Pitt, The Gilded Age, Abbott Elementary and Pluribus, mixed and mingled (and, in some cases, gave us an ER reunion that melted our hearts).
See the best photos from the party below.

TROY - With a pair of former University at Albany quarterbacks at the controls, the Utica offense shredded RPI again on Saturday.
Former Great Danes backup Tyler Szalkowski completed 29 of 38 passes for 402 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead the Pioneers to a 38-14 victory over the Engineers at East Campus Stadium.
"I enjoyed my time at Albany," said Szalkowski, who spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons with the Great Danes. "Everything they did for me just made me who I am today."
Utica improved to 2-0, while RPI fell to 1-1.
It was the second straight year Szalkowski picked apart RPI. He was 27-of-29 passing for 385 yards and six touchdowns when the Pioneers blew out the Engineers 41-14 in Utica last season.

The Oregon Ducks' defense hasn't received much kudos this week after allowing the Boise State Broncos to score 27 points on them in Week 1, including multiple 70-plus yard scoring drives. While the standard wasn't met as a collective with blue-chippers lining every position, defensive tackle Bear Alexander's performance was a different story.
Facing an underrated Broncos rushing attack headed by Dylan Riley (1,125 yards, 10 touchdowns in 2025) and Sire Gaines (811 yards, eight touchdowns), the Ducks were going to be tested up front to begin the season. And, especially in the second half, there were moments where the Boise State run game was successful in churning out positive gains. But by game's end, they'd ran for just 93 yards on 26 carries, good for just 2.6 yards per pop.
Alexander answered the call, totaling eight tackles including a sack of quarterback Maddux Madsen. There were moments of the second-year Oregon starter simply discarding Boise State's center and guards before swallowing up Riley or Gaines near the line of scrimmage.
The performance of Alexander caught the eye of The Athletic NFL draft ***** yst Dane Brugler, who dove into the Week 1 tape and made a strong claim about the defensive tackle's draft stock.
"At 6-3 and 311 pounds with 34-inch arms and 10 1/8-inch hands, Alexander is a physical presence in the trenches who can shred blocks or hold his ground versus double teams," Brugler wrote. "A former top recruit, he had stops at Georgia and USC before transferring to Oregon, where he is realizing his potential. With his size and ability, Alexander started his senior season as a top-100 prospect and is competing to be in the top-50 conversation."

Lily Reynolds enjoyed a tremendous first full season pitching on the varsity level as a sophomore for Colonie in 2026.
Before her final two high schools seasons, Reynolds has already provided longtime University at Albany softball coach Chris Cannata her verbal commitment to pitch for the Great Danes of the America East Conference.
"I just realized that I wanted to stay home and be around my family. That was really the big deciding factor for me - not necessarily the D-I label," Reynolds said of her decision.
"She called me (Wednesday) and I told her this is the best news ever," said Colonie coach Kelly Colvin, who played at Shenendehowa and UAlbany. "Lily has put in so much hard work with us at Colonie and with the (Capital District) Fusion. It is really cool to see it pay off for her. We're all very excited."
During her sophomore season, Reynolds compiled a 7-2 record with a 1.61 earned run average and 115 strikeouts over 91 1/3 innings for the Wolf Pack. She was named to the Times Union all-star team as a first-team selection.

The property slated to become the headquarters of Warriors star Stephen Curry's off-court business collective, Thirty Ink, has been sold, scrapping plans for the buzzy new office in San Francisco.
The company was set to relocate its headquarters from the SoMa district to the Dogpatch in the city's evolving Central Waterfront, after Curry purchased the property in 2024. The original half-century-old building at the site would've been replaced with a five-story, 24,691-square-foot structure.
But Curry sold the two-story building to Dane Reinsurance Inc. on Aug. 31, according to documents from the San Francisco **** sor-Recorder office. Dane Reinsurance is a corporation linked to Corgi, an AI startup with an all-night cafe, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The property sold for $11 million, according to the Chronicle, a profit for Curry, given the original purchase price of $8.5 million. (The Chronicle and SFGATE are both owned by Hearst but have separate newsrooms.)
Erika Lee, a spokesperson for Corgi, told SFGATE "that's our building" by email Thursday and provided a link to an ominous video as Corgi's "public 'statement'" as of Thursday afternoon. Lee said the company will share more at a later time. The video, posted Tuesday morning on X and captioned, "Our side of the story with Steph Curry," features several news headlines about the sale and unidentified female narrator dressed in black who says, "We're building something bigger and better than anyone could ever imagine."
Thirty Ink did not respond to SFGATE's request for comment; however, according to the San Francisco Business Times, the plan for the Dogpatch headquarters was scrapped in April 2025 after a union dispute.

Real Madrid kicks off its Champions League campaign against Inter Milan on Tuesday, with new coach Jose Mourinho aiming to win the trophy for a third time.
Mourinho is back at Madrid for a second spell after last managing the club in from 2010-13.
He won a league ****** le and the Spanish cup during that time, but not the Champions League. Since then Madrid has gone on to dominate European club soccer's biggest trophy, winning it six more times and extending its record to 15 ****** les.
And while another Champions League would see Mourinho join Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique, Zinedine Zidane and Bob Paisley on three wins, he doesn't feel the need to make up for the fact that he was unable to lift the trophy when he was last at Madrid.
"I finished my work here in 2013. We won what we won, and we lost what we lost. We gave everything, but it's a closed chapter," Mourinho said. "This has nothing to do with the past — absolutely nothing. These are two different moments in Real Madrid's history.

BUFFALO - The wins over Football Bowl Subdivision teams will be much harder to come by over the next three years.
The University at Albany is set to play Purdue next season, Michigan State in 2028, and Cincinnati in 2029, according to an athletic department official.
Those games will offer big paydays but a slim chance of victory against teams from the Power Four conferences.
However, UAlbany had a realistic chance of pulling off an FBS upset on Thursday night. The Great Danes were sitting on the Buffalo 1 with less than two minutes left and trailing by 4 points.
Instead, UAlbany unraveled with mistakes in a 21-17 defeat in a game that didn't end until 1:22 a.m. because of lightning and heavy rain that delayed the opening kickoff by more than 2 ½ hours.

In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rasmus Højlund discussed, among other things, his time at Manchester United.
When asked about his thoughts on why things didn't work out at Old Trafford, Højlund singled out the arrival of Ruben Amorim after Erik ten Hag's dismissal.
"I don't think anything specific went wrong. I arrived at a club with a manager: it was a difficult year, with many injuries, but we won the FA Cup and I was the top scorer. Then we went through a difficult period and Amorim arrived, an excellent coach but with a different playing style. The team had to adapt, and it was complicated. We all struggled. My first year was a success, the second wasn't. But I played in the Europa League final; if we had won, it would have been a different story. That's football: sometimes it goes well, other times it goes badly, but I'm very happy to have played for the club I dreamed of as a child."
The young Dane moved to Man United ahead of the 2023/24 season from Atalanta on the back of a €79.8m move. In his debut season, he made 43 appearances across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing two ****** ists. In his second season, he managed just ten goals and four ****** ists in 52 appearances. Thus followed a season-long loan at Napoli, which was made permanent this summer for €44 million.
The price tag definitely did not help matters for Højlund. While teams often go out of their way to sign players for beyond-reason prices, something United have been particularly wont to do, those price tags do dictate how a player's time at the club is perceived, even when players often hardly play a role in deciding the fee agreed between the negotiating clubs.

BUFFALO, N,Y. (AP) — Chance Morrow caught his third touchdown pass from Elijah Holmes with 4:23 left in the game and the Buffalo Bulls beat the Albany Great Danes of the FCS 21-17 on Thursday night.
Morrow finished with seven receptions for 48 yards for the Bulls (1-0). Holmes was 26-of-47 passing for 189 yards and hit Morrow for touchdowns of 9, 4 and 5 yards.
Kickoff, which had originally been scheduled for 7 p.m. local time, was delayed about 2 3/4 hours due to inclement weather in the area.
Rahshan La Mons ran for a 4-yard gain that made it second-and-goal from inside the 1 with 1:26 left, but a false start moved the Great Danes (1-1) back outside the 5. On fourth-and-goal, Stevie Bracey tackled Luke McAuliffe at the 3 to seal it.
Holmes led the Bulls on a 15-play, 75-yard drive that took more than 6 1/2 minutes off the clock and made it 7-7 when he hit Morrow for a 9-yard TD with 11:23 left in the first half.

Rahshan La Mons ran for a 4-yard gain that made it second-and-goal from inside the 1 with 1:26 left, but a false start moved the Great Danes (1-1) back outside the 5. On fourth-and-goal, Stevie Bracey tackled Luke McAuliffe at the 3 to seal it.
Holmes led the Bulls on a 15-play, 75-yard drive that took more than 6 1/2 minutes off the clock and made it 7-7 when he hit Morrow for a 9-yard TD with 11:23 left in the first half.

When you win an NBA championship, you get a summer to puff up your chest and talk your talk. In the final month of the offseason, the New York Knicks are going through that. After a mundane 53-29 regular season, they had one of the most dominant playoff runs ever.
The Knicks went a sizzling 16-3. That included a historic 13-game winning streak that featured blowout wins left and right. Everything clicked for New York. Jalen Brunson penciled his name in basketball lore. Karl-Anthony Towns had the last laugh with all his haters. And OG Anunoby is basically a New York deity thanks to his Game 4 tip-in win.
Now, Knicks fans are getting daring with their takes. That's what happens when you're sitting on the NBA throne. You've earned the right to say the most outlandish things ever and make them somewhat plausible. In recent days, we've seen that with Brunson being better than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
That 100-degree opinion has made the rounds on social media in recent days. Sports media personalities like Max Kellerman and Shannon Sharpe explained their reasoning recently for why Brunson's NBA championship ring has helped him usurp Gilgeous-Alexander in the league rankings.
Here's what both had to say:

The people — and animals — in Georgia junior running back Nate Frazier's life are a crucial part of his journey and have taught him everything he knows.
His dad, Nathaniel Frazier Sr., who died in March, and his mother, Yomeshia Moore. His coaches and his teammates. Even the French Bulldog named Dane that he adopted in the midst of spring practice.
"They've been here every step of the way," Frazier said.
Buy tickets for Georgia football's home opener vs. Tennessee State
Every single coach has either sent Frazier a text message or pulled him to the side to talk face-to-face and try and find any possible way to help him mentally. The Dawgs don't, and won't, let one of their own walk around the facility with its head down. It's one of the main reasons he came to Georgia. It's not just about football; it's a big family.

CHICAGO — Rookie Sal Stewart homered for the third straight game to help offset two more home runs by Pete Crow-Armstrong, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 7-5 on Sunday night after rain delayed the start 25 minutes.
Dane Myers hit a go-ahead homer off Shoto Imanaga (8-10) leading off the fifth inning and Tyler Stephenson followed with a two-run shot after a single by Elly De La Cruz for a 6-3 lead. De La Cruz left after that with left quad tightness.
Stewart homered for the 31st time — off Trent Thornton — for the Reds' final run in the seventh.
Crow-Armstrong homered leading off the first against Chase Burns (15-3) to give the Cubs the lead. It his fourth in seven at-bats after hitting three Saturday in a 17-5 victory over the Reds. The NL's MVP front-runner hit his 38th homer — a solo shot off Reds closer Emilio Pagán in the ninth before the right-hander finished off his 19th save.
Burns allowed three runs — two earned — on six hits in 5 2/3 innings as Cincinnati beat the Cubs in the rubber game of the series after losing six of seven matchups previously.

Well, this is something to wake up to. According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, overnight Tottenham Hotspur and Everton reached an agreement to essentially swap attackers — bringing Ilman Ndiaye to Spurs, with Richarlison returning to Everton heading the other direction. This is NOT a true swap deal; these will be treated as separate transfers.
In yesterday's post-match press conference, Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi essentially told us that Richarlison asked to leave Spurs for a new challenge. I just didn't realize it would all go down so quickly. According to Paul Joyce of The Times, Ndiaye will cost Spurs about £60m, with Richarlison heading the other direction for a fee of £35m, making the outlay a lot lower than most transfers that Spurs have brought in this summer.
Ndiaye, 26, is a French fooballer who has declared for and plays international football for Senegal. He's been used primarily on the left wing for Everton, but can also play centrally or on the right. He's NOT a striker but could be implemented as a #10 if needed. Ndiaye likes to be on the ball and frequently prefers to take on and dribble past his defenders, which frequently turns into touches in the penalty area and shots. He likes to cut inside from the flank and is also comfortable receiving the ball deeper as a ball progression outlet. His acquisition means that Spurs will essentially only have three first team strikers on the books — Omar Marmoush, Dominic Solanke, and Dane Scarlett — but Ndiaye will fortify Spurs' attacking midfield options. His preferred position at Everton will put him in competition with Mathys Tel and Savinho, but his positional flexibility means he could be an ***** et elsewhere as well. He's also a willing presser and capable of putting in defensive work to make tackles. Despite maybe hinting otherwise yesterday, I'm kind of a fan of this deal.
As for Richarlison… well, I'm sad. He's probably my favorite Spurs player (non-Sonny edition) of this era. He's a vibes guy who always seemed to lift the mood, and it's clear he loved Spurs. But it's just as clear that he's not happy here anymore, and as his career starts to wind down a return to the club that lifted him to stardom feels like the closing of the circle. Everton fans love him as much as we do, and I can't begrudge them, or him, this move. It feels like the right choice.
What do you think of this deal? Can Spurs get it across the line before the window closes on September 2?

Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso will reportedly make a trio of changes to his starting lineup when they host Genoa on Sunday, including two compulsory ones.
The Biancocelesti began their Serie A campaign with an away victory in Bologna thanks to Davide Frattesi's solitary strike. The Italian midfielder came off the bench to replace the injured Fisayo Dele-Bashiru. The manager also had to make another compulsory change during the match, bring in Romano Floriani Mussolini for Adam Marusic.
With both players expected to remain on the sidelines for at least 20 days, Frattesi and Floriani Mussolini will be making their first starts of the season. The Inter Milan loanee will join Kenneth Taylor and Nicolo in the midfield trio, while Floriani Mussolini will slot in at right-back, with the rest of the defence remaining intact with Danilo Doekhi, Oliver Provstgaard, and Alfonso Pedraza.
In attack, Sky Sport Italia and La Lazio Siamo Noi expect a third change to take place, with Gustav Isaksen dropping Matteo Cancellieri to the bench. The Dane missed the entire pre-season while recovering from groin surgery, but made his return in the second half at the Renato Dall'Ara and was considered an upgrade on his Italian teammate.

Joakim Mæhle is the latest player linked with a move to Juventus this summer as the Bianconeri continue their efforts to improve their squad. The Dane played for Atalanta between 2021 and 2023, meaning he already understands Italian football well and could adapt quickly if he returns to Serie A.
Juventus have improved their squad in recent weeks and have done well during the final stages of this transfer window. The Bianconeri are already among the clubs with the strongest squads in Italy, but they remain determined to ensure they have the right players available to challenge for trophies this season.
The club will continue doing everything possible to strengthen their squad, and Mæhle has now been linked with a move to Turin. The defender is a quality player who performs well when he competes, and he could provide Juventus with another strong option if they manage to complete a deal.
His previous experience in Italy could also make the move particularly appealing. Having spent two years with Atalanta, Mæhle is already familiar with the demands of Serie A and would not be entering an entirely new football environment.

After a disastrous start under Bo Henriksen saw Mainz languishing in the bottom two heading into December, relegation looked a real possibility for the club despite securing European football just a season earlier.
With the club's hierarchy unable to hold out any longer, they pulled the trigger on the Dane before appointing Urs Fischer as their new head coach in December.
After a steady but unspectacular end to 2025 in his first few games in charge, the 05ers never looked back in 2026, losing just two of their opening 12 league games of the calendar year. Mainz eventually secured a comfortable 10th-place finish, putting any relegation fears to bed, while also reaching the quarter-finals of the Conference League.
The club will now look to take the next step under Fischer. With a full pre-season under his belt, those around the club will undoubtedly be looking forward to seeing what the new campaign can bring.
Mainz enjoyed an impressive and unbeaten pre-season campaign, winning seven of their eight fixtures while drawing the other.

At least one in four NFL players could develop chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a progressive brain disease linked to repeated head impacts, new research suggests.
Researchers found CTE in 215 of 878 former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021, meaning 24.5 percent have died with CTE. The study was led by Dr. Daniel Daneshvar, a physician and researcher at Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School, along with researchers from Boston University and other institutions.
That figure may underestimate how common CTE is among former NFL players. Researchers examined the brains of 235 of the 878 players who died during the study period, leaving 643 brains unexamined.
CTE is caused by repeated head impacts and can only be definitively diagnosed after death. It is extremely rare without repeated head trauma. The disease can cause memory loss, confusion, mood changes, impaired decision-making, impulsive behavior and addiction, according to the American Brain Foundation.
CTE was first identified in boxers nearly a century ago and has since been found in other athletes exposed to repeated head impacts, including hockey, rugby, soccer, wrestling and bobsledding. Researchers have also found evidence suggesting military personnel exposed to repeated blasts may be at risk.

A new study from researchers at Mass General Brigham, Boston University, and the Concussion & CTE Foundation found that at least one in four former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head trauma.
The findings, published Tuesday in The British Medical Journal, examined former NFL players from the hard-shell helmet era and suggest the prevalence of CTE among professional football players is significantly higher than in the general population.
Researchers identified 878 former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021. Of those, 235 donated their brains for study, and 215 of the donated brains, or 91.4%, showed evidence of CTE.
Because CTE can only be diagnosed after death through brain tissue examination, researchers estimated a range for how widespread the disease may have been among all deceased former players. Their most conservative estimate found at least 24.5% of former NFL players who died during that period had CTE. The upper estimate reached 97.7%, though researchers said both extremes are unlikely and the true prevalence is likely somewhere in between.
"Community brain bank studies have shown that CTE affects less than 1% of the general population," said Dr. Daniel Daneshvar, lead author of the study and chair of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Mass General Brigham. "To find that somewhere between 24.5% and 97.7% of NFL players from that time period had this progressive brain disease is a wake-up call for the NFL and scientific communities."

Andreas Christensen was one of Barcelona's unsung heroes in their 5-0 win over Elche CF in the opening game.
It was the first time the Dane had managed to play the full ninety minutes since September 28, as he started alongside Gerard Martin in central defence.
Christensen kept things tidy at the back, and his timely resurgence is sure to serve as a massive boost for Hansi Flick.
Now, the Dane will set his sights on earning yet another start when Barcelona take on Athletic Club in their next La Liga encounter.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Christensen is just one match away from reaching 100 competitive appearances for Barcelona.

Maintaining the unprecedented highs of success set by Xabi Alonso was always going to be tricky, but ***** ody at Bayer Leverkusen could have foreseen how it unfolded. With Erik Ten Hag sacked after just two league games in charge, it set the tone for what would be a turbulent and uncomfortable 2025-26 season.
The Rhineland club acted quickly and choose to appoint Kasper Hjulmand who filled the void. Despite being unable to impart his tactics on the squad in pre-season, the Dane made a bright start to his rein with seven wins from his first nine games. Thereafter, things started to unravel.
Costly defeats and losing their grip on a prized Champions League berth in the final two matchday's effectively sealed Hjulmand's fate. With a desire for stability, Leverkusen's chiefs decided that a change at the helm would be needed, thus parting ways with the 54-year-old after a sixth-place finish.
With several components of their squad at the 2026 World Cup, Leverkusen partially regrouped for pre-season on 14 July. Players were met by a new face in coach Carles Martinez. The Spaniard, arriving from Girona, said he was keen to bring his intense and passionate style of football to the BayArena.
With routine wins over Sportfreunde Baumberg (7-0) and Kickers Offenbach (3-1), Leverkusen faced a sterner task in KRC Genk. The Belgian Pro League side were brushed aside 4-0, with further impressive displays from summer signing Afonso Moreira alongside Nathan Tella and Christian Kofane.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — A boat carrying migrants capsized off the coast of southern Tunisia, killing at least two people and leaving 12 missing, Tunisia's national guard said Saturday. One survivor was rescued.
Guard spokesperson Houssem Eddine Jebabli told state news agency TAP that authorities recovered two bodies and transferred them to a hospital on the nearby island of Djerba. He told national radio Mosaique FM that about 15 people were believed to be aboard the boat when it took off between the cities of Zarzis and Ben Guerdane.
The boat had set off early Thursday, and a commercial ship found the sole survivor Saturday in a life jacket, Mosaique reported, citing testimony from the survivor.
A helicopter and coast guard boats were then dispatched to the area in search of more survivors, according to an ***** ociated Press photojournalist at the scene. The migrants were believed to be headed toward Italy.
Zarzis has long been a departure point for Tunisians and others from around Africa or beyond attempting to cross the Mediterranean toward Europe.

Celtic of course hold a 3-0 advantage from the first leg, but even then, the USA International isn't taking anything for granted.
Trusty said: "Yeah, you can't be **** y, you can't be too full of yourself. Football is a crazy environment where if you give teams momentum, they can take it. And they're at home next game, so we've just got to go there and play our game," The Scotsman reports, with the Celtic fan media still disgracefully banned by the Celtic Board.
"But we'll have the Celtic fans hopefully cheering us on and we'll be good. It's a good result, it gives us momentum. We have a good number of goals to have some momentum going with us in the next game.
