With the arrival of Ernesto Valverde and the four signings of this summer, the FC Barcelona aspires to go back to reign in Europe as it did does no a lot of years backwards. In spite of having the best weapon, one of the best footballers of the history, the club still has work by in front, and is that it has to follow surrounding to Leo Messi of a ready team to triumph.
Far of the big individualities that can decide parties, only is necessary to look to the last finalists of the Champions League to see that, in the last times, those that have arrived more far have been the 'teams' as such, with wide full staff of stars as it is it for example the Real Madrid -or was it till lately-. In addition to the own Barcelona group, Real Madrid, Athletic and Juventus, all with big 'cracks', but with a common denominator, a solid block and with very few fissures.
With the rojiblancos and the 'bianconeri' with the community by flag, the key of the whites also has been his staff, since with or without Cristiano Ronaldo, his leader, have attained to follow winning. The Portuguese no always has been the key, and this has happened because they were the Isco, Modric, Marcelo and Asensio, and a long etcetera at first and second swords that have resulted decisive.
Finish with the 'Messi-Dependency'
With this concept in mind, the Barça is increasingly near to have a group champion. To the team is missing him some piece to surrender during all the course without going down the level, with a wide changing room in which they can cushion the possible absences of the headlines.
Already it began to leave clear his new politics with the signing of Dembélé by 140 million euros, but expects that Philippe Coutinho arrive in winter and, of face to the summer, could do it Goretzka and Antoine Griezmann, two players called also to be important in the staff culé.
In some meetings has seen a lot of dependency of Leo Messi, and no only by his goals. A so powerful team like the Catalan has to have more options, and of his work and his maturity will depend the aims of the season. If they want to raise trophies, the one of Rosario has to have a team to his height. Already it has it... But still it will be better of here to few months.
