Recently, they gave to know the crosses of the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League, leaving a series of attractive parties between squares of very high level. One of them is the clash between the RB Leipzig and the Real Madrid, a meeting that, further to be a duel that promises to be trepidante, will be especially significant for two players of the German team with past in the Barça: Dani Elm and Xavi Simons.

Both pieces shared a similar way in the FC Barcelona. They went through the Barcelona subsidiary, but by different reasons did not attain to arrive to the first team culé. In this sense, Elm, for example, left the institution in 2014 to the age of 16 years to join to the inferior divisions of the Dinamo Zagreb, after having gone through the Basic Football culé, the Cadet To and the Juvenile B, where the way between both parts would separate because of the supposed indecision of the Catalan cast on if bet by him or no.

In the case of Simons, the situation was more or less similar. The Dutch also went through the Barcelona Basic Football and the Cadet To, and although it was considered one of the big future stars of the club, finally desvinculó of the cast blaugrana in 2019, although supposedly it offered him the renewal. This associated , purportedly, to an economic subject related with the big offer presented by the PSG, which finally accepted. Nevertheless, near people to his surroundings, as the revealed in his moment in 'L'Instrument', associated it more to a sportive subject.

How it has gone him to Simons and Elm against the Real Madrid?

However, both have turned into figures stood out of the group of Marco Rose, that at present finds in the third place in the Bundesliga and happened like second of the group G in the Champions League. In this season, until the moment, the Dutch has stood out more, with six annotations and nine assistances in 24 meetings, whereas the Spanish, because of unlucky injuries, only has been able to participate in seven commitments, converting six so many and giving two passes to goal.

Voucher recalcar that, to arrive to this party and be ranged, for example, the one of Ámsterdam would be confronting for the first time in his professional career to the combined merengue, whereas the one of Terrassa would add his second experience against the whites, to the that already confronted in the past Champions League, obtaining a positive result when winning the Leipzig 3-2. It will be necessary to see if in this occasion the exjugadores of the Barça have the fortune to go out victorious.
