Neymar, Mascherano or Pedro Rodriguez still do not appear in the list of official Barça legends, something that has been in the news again after the situation with Dani Alves back and forth in the group of historic players
The section 'historical Players' of the web of the FC Barcelona has been news in the last hours afterwards that Dani Alves disappeared by several hours of the list of 103 legends of the Catalan club. Although in principle it understood like something related with the sentence of his trial by sexual aggression, returned hours afterwards to the group of historical footballers that have dressed the Barcelona T-shirt, although that has opened another more important debate: the names that are missing.
And it is that the situation with the Brazilian lit the social networks regarding the doubts on the criteria employed to include or no to some names that have gone through the City Condal. And it is that, for example, authentic culés like Pedro Rodríguez or Javier Mascherano, at least to the day of today, are not inside the group considered like "historical" by part of the own entity, but besides are not the only notable names of the Barcelona history.
The Barça does not explain for now with big names of his recent history
Beside them also a lot of fans did to notice that big forwards like Neymar and David Villa do not appear in the group of 103 legends, both goleadores in the two last Champions League that achieved the Barça, for example, and with big nights in the Spotify Camp Nou. Perhaps in lower measure, but also goleador in a European final, is Juliano Belletti, another name that the barcelonismo did to notice by his absence in the list.
In a similar situation to the one of the Brazilian side is Ivan Rakitic, the one who in spite of having caused much more hit that Belletti, although little less than Neymar and Villa, neither is included in the group that the Barça considers of his more important players of the history, being also leading in a final of Champions with a goal in the one of the 2015. Besides, the Croat is the fourth foreigner with more parties in the history of the entity, although that can not to serve him of a lot of if we take into account that it neither is the third: Javier Mascherano.
The Argentinian arrived to reinforce the best midfield of the history of the club that conformed Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta and during eight years (2010-2018), 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. Although more than 10 titles and 333 parties still have not allowed him go in in this selecto group of the Barça, understanding also that it can treat of a 'oversight' of the institution regarding updating his section of 'historical Players'.
