JANUARY 27, 2023 • Associated Press

Marcos Alonso - Extends contract with Barcelona Alonso has signed an 18-month contract with Barcelona, the club announced Friday.

Impact Alonso has scored a goal and kept three clean sheets in 10 La Liga appearances (five starts) this season since moving from Chelsea to Barcelona in the summer, but interestingly enough he started five of six UCL group stage matches as well. The 32-year-old is primarily a left-back but he's mostly been lining up in central defense for his new club thanks to a spate of injuries in the position during the fall, and he's now signed on to remain with Barcelona through the 2023/24 campaign.

Ferran Torres - Serves suspension Torres has served his one-game league ban and is eligible to return for a visit to Girona this Saturday.

Impact Torres saw straight red following a dust-up against Atletico Madrid but has now served his one-match punishment. In any event, the winger isn't a regular part of the starting XI, so his return might likely be in a relief appearance.

Ousmane Dembele - Creates two chances in win Dembele created two chances, had three shots (one on target), four crosses (all inaccurate) and a yellow card in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Getafe.

Impact Dembele had a solid outing Sunday, as he contributed two chances created and a shot on target. He led the team in chances created and also took the most shots. He did not contribute a goal though, and picked up a yellow card in the 68th minute for a bad foul. The French winger has had a great season so far, with 10 goal contributions (five goals and five assists) in 17 appearances (13 starts). Given his output to this point, it would be no surprise to see him contribute more goals sooner rather than later.

Raphinha - Assists in win Raphinha had an assist on one chance created, had eight crosses (one accurate) and made one clearance in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Getafe.

Impact Raphinha assisted the only goal of the match Sunday, as his cross found Pedri in the box in the 35th minute. Raphinha had double the number of crosses as any of his teammates (eight), yet only one was accurate (his assist). That play was his only chance created in the match, but it was enough to give Barca the three points. The Brazilian forward now has five goal contributions (two goals and three assists) in 16 appearances (eight starts).

Pedri - Scores winner versus Getafe Pedri scored one goal on one shot, made three tackles and had three inaccurate crosses in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Getafe.

Impact Pedri scored the only goal of the match Sunday, finding the back of the net in the 35th minute off an assist from Ousmane Dembele. It was his only shot of the game, but the young midfielder made the most of his opportunity. Pedri now has four goals in 17 appearances this season, good for third on the team. Given his talent and Barcelona's league-leading attack, it would be no surprise if Pedri continued to score goals from the midfield.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen - Keeps clean sheet in win ter Stegen made three saves and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Getafe.

Impact ter Stegen kept yet another clean sheet Sunday, his 13th in 17 league appearances this season. He was forced to make three saves for his second straight game, but his defense still put together another good performance. The German keeper has only allowed six goals in league play this season, by far the best in La Liga. With Barca's defense playing lights out, ter Stegen will have another good opportunity for a clean sheet Saturday at Girona who have 26 goals in 18 matches this season.
