The result is that the seven more important index cards of the first staff, or have evaporated , or have seen drastically reduced.

At the head of this operation has been the director of football of the Barcelona club, Mateu Alemany, that has not had more remedy that manage this delicate subject while it tried to reinforce a staff whose quality desangraba with each new exit, as the one of Griezmann and of course, the one of the seven winning times of the Balloon of Gold, Messi.
