The FC Barcelona prepares for a transcendental appointment in the season with the visit to the Manchester United in Old Trafford, party that will define the classification to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europe League and for which all is practically equalised after both teams empataran to two goals by side in the crash of gone contested in the Spotify Camp Nou and in front of the good moment that both teams live.

For the crash, one of the incógnitas that would have Xavi Hernández turns around the figure of Marcos Alonso. Along the season, the míster has had the defender, so much in functions of left side, his natural position, and like central defence. In spite of not sounding like one of the favourites to occupy the line of defence from the start, the egarense could be posing distinct stages according to the rival to confront.

The fact to explain until with three left sides in the staff (Jordi Alba, Alejandro Balde and the own Marcos Alonso) has carried to the trainer to have to the Madrilenian even in the axis of the saga, demarcation to which still continues adapting. Likewise, regarding his participations in continental tournaments, the defender has seen action in all they, excepting the party in the Camp Nou in front of Viktoria Plzen.

In his three first continental appointments like culé, Alonso was headline and just in front of the two more complicated rivals of the group, the Bayern of Munich and the Inter of Milan, that to the dessert would be those who would finish advancing to the eighth of final like first and second of group, respectively. Later, it would jump to the field like central defence in front of the Bavarians and in the last party in front of the Czechs, although the culés already were mathematically deleted of the competition.

Marcos Alonso does not split like favourite to be headline

The balance of the Barça with Marcos Alonso like titling is negative, presenting a total of a victory, two ties and three reverses. For the visit to the 'theatre of the dreams' expects that Xavi have to Araújo and Christensen like head offices, whereas the options of Alonso reduce to the band, where Balde could be the elected.
