Neymar, David Villa and Pedro Rodriguez are some of the names that Barça have decided to include in their list of official legends. The Catalan team has used the European finals of this century to update its section of historic players
The section 'historical Players' of the web of the FC Barcelona was news does some weeks afterwards that that Dani Alves disappeared by several hours of the list of legends of the Catalan club. Although in principle it understood like something related with the sentence of his trial by sexual aggression, returned shortly after to the group of historical footballers that have dressed the Barcelona T-shirt, although that opened a debate also very important: the names that are missing.
And it is that the situation with the Brazilian lit the social networks regarding some names that have gone through the City Condal and that were not recognised like historical players of the Barça, as for example it happened with an authentic culé like Pedro Rodríguez. However, the own Barcelona entity seems to have decided rectify in his position and add to the extreme to the list, beside other 'European heroes' as Pedrito, the one who marked in the final of the Champions League of the season 2010-2011.
The Barça now yes has big names of his recent history
Beside him now also they appear other big forwards like David Villa and Neymar expanding the last group that was in 103 legends. What yes remains clear is that the Barça has taken the line of goleadores of European finals to include to these last members, since so much the Spanish like the Brazilian marked in the two last finals of Champions that contested the Barça, respectively.
In a similar situation has added also the name of Ivan Rakitic, the one who in spite of having caused a lot perhaps a lower impact that Neymar and Villa, also was protagonist in a final of Champions with a goal in the one of the 2015. Another that has won his place, and although perhaps it had a lower impact in the club, has been Juliano Belletti, another name that the barcelonismo there was notice by his absence in the list. The Brazilian side completed the traced back in the Champions of the 2006 and thanks to this already is an official legend of the Barça.
However, perhaps still the Barcelona group has to follow reviewing and trying update his list since it has decided still not taking into account to Javier Mascherano, the second foreigner with more parties in the history of the club. The Argentinian finish consolidating as a fundamental footballer in the XI Barcelona, especially when it arrived the retreat of Carles Puyol and moved to the centre of the defence beside Gerard Hammered. More than 10 titles and 333 parties in 8 years would seem sufficient so that the now trainer can be in the already mentioned list.
