The FC Barcelona is to the doors to confront to the Napoli in the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League, a rival with which enjoys of good record. In the four clashes that both squares have seen the faces, the Catalan club has gone out victorious in two of them, adding other two ties. In this sense, the most recent antecedent dates of the campaign 2021-2022 in the Europe League, split where the Barcelona cast attained to impose with a 2-4, with annotations of Jordi Alba, Frenkie of Jong, Gerard Hammered and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Almost two years afterwards, the destination has wanted that Catalan and napolitanos go back to board a crusade in an appointment of big importance. They will contest like this a meeting in which the 'Partenopeos' will find in front of a Barcelona cast with a staff culé renewed practically in his whole. It is necessary to remember that, surprisingly, of the payroll of 21 summoned that called Xavi Hernández and that measured strengths in his moment in front of the Italians, hardly remain in the team six of them.
The 'renewal' that lived the staff of the FC Barcelona
Under this premise, the six names that remain of this litter are: Marc-André ter Stegen, Ronald Araújo, Frenkie of Jong, Pedri González, Ferran Torres and Pablo Gavi. To the margin of them, at least 14 footballers that were in the staff culé for this commitment desvincularon of the club by reasons varied. For example, Gerard Hammered marked his retreat of the fields. Besides, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba did not renew his contractual links and finished recalando in the Inter Miami of Leo Messi.
To his time, in these almost two years, other players opted for continuing his career in other teams: Adama Traoré (returned of his loan to the Wolverhampton), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Chelsea), Riqui Puig (Los Angeles Galaxy), Ousmane Dembélé (PSG), Nico González (Port wine), Martín Braithwaite (Espanyol), Net Walled (Bornemouth), Óscar Mingueza (Celtic of Vigo) and Arnau Tenas (PSG). Equally, they produced loans of Sergiño Dest to the PSV Eindhoven and of Eric García to the Girona FC.
The club culé has not been able to create a stable sportive project
This evidence the little capacity that has had the FC Barcelona in the last years to create a stable sportive project and very cimentado. The club has been one 'victim' of a high rotation of players, which have not been able to consolidate in the Barcelona diagram. This situation, for the moment, seems that it will not have a prompt mejoría, since Xavi Hernández will be relieved around the middle of year. It will arrive a new technician to establish a new methodology of work and initiate a new process.
This without explaining the renewal that has suffered, for example, the sportive direction, arm commissioned to execute the incorporations in matter of signings. It has happened of Mateu Alemany to Deco, another structural change key, given the new vision that seems to have now regarding the pieces to incorporate and to the names that can them give exit, a section in which can have some surprise in the next months.
