Calendar of FC Barcelona

desborda The illusion in the City Condal, as the morning of this Wednesday 27 December landed in Catalan earths the Barcelona artilleryman Vitor Roque, wintry reinforcement of the FC Barcelona in which they have deposited big expectations for revitalizar the offensive culé, that has not attained carburar in the last time, showing particularly lacking of effectiveness of face to the arch.

'Tigrinho' Arrives to the square culé after accumulating 28 goals and 11 assistances in 81 commitments with the Athletico Paranaense, turning into the sixth attacker of Brazilian nationality that arrives to the Barça in the 21st century, happening to integrate a list that includes stellar names like Ronaldinho and Neymar, as well as others that had desempeños less hit in the club, as Geovanni Deiberson, Malcom and Coutinho, and closing with one that at present struggles for following forging a big career in the club, as it is the case of Raphinha.

It suits to mention that, of the previously exposed names, Vitor Roque is the one who arrives to the Barcelona with lower age. 'Vitinho' Arrived to the City Condal with 18 years, surpassing by the rank of age with which arrived Malcom (19), Geovanni (21), Ronaldinho (23), Neymar (21) and Coutinho and Raphinha (25). In this sense, also is important to signal that, although 'Tigrinho' arrives with some experience in the Brazilian football, still has not had his first experience in the football of Europe. In the case of the players mentioned previously that gave the jump directly to the 'Old Continent' with the Barça, find Geovanni and Neymar. This last arrived with a big recognition like one of the young footballers more promising of his country.

Geovanni Deiberson (2002)

Geovanni Deiberson One of the mentioned, perhaps with the less successful step by the team of the City Condal. It arrived pertinent of the Cruzeiro in 2002 in the middle of some controversy by the mount of his signing, which finally closed in 18 million euros. In spite of the controversy of his arrival, in the field did not attain to fulfil with the expectations.

It marked his first goal grieve in his seventh party like Barcelona, but never attained to ensure a place in the team, in a Barça that crossed a moment complicated and unstable to sportive level. After two campaigns without standing out, in which it contested only 43 parties with three goals and three assistances, was yielded to the SL Benfica in 2003, combined that later it ficharía after desvincularse of the Barcelona.

Ronaldinho Gáucho (2003)

On the other hand, the following Brazilian that fichó by the Catalan cast was at all more and at all less than Ronaldinho Gaúcho, the one who arrived pertinent of the PSG by 32,25 million euros in 2003. In addition to turning into one of the historical of the club by his magic and quality to play, left very good registers and performances memorables, contesting 207 parties with 94 goals and 56 assistances.

To level goleador, did not cost him a lot, since in his first official party in the Camp Nou, attained to agitate the networks in the remembered 'party of the gazpacho' against the Seville, on three September of the 2003, with a started 'electrical' by the left in which it left tended at least to two of his markers and culminated with 'Ronnie' taking out a whiplash of no less than 25 metres that did inefectiva the flown of the guardameta hispalense.

The adventure of Ronaldinho would finish in 2008, after five seasons in the club. It was one of the stellar figures that went out of the club in the process of reconstruction that faced Pep Guardiola when it assumed the reins of the team. 'Dinho' Moved his exotic dances of celebration and his eternal smile to the AC Milan, leaving a grato memory in the Barcelona fans, being perhaps one of the most notable one of his impressive performances in front of the Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu, where the fans merengue him ovacionó by his unforgettable staged.

Neymar Júnior (2013)

Neymar Júnior, the one who arrived in 2013 pertinent of the Saints by 88 million euros and integrated one of the Barça more successful of the last time. The one of Mogi give Cruzes adueñó quickly of the left band of the Barcelona club to form the feared trident 'MSN' together with Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, being key to conquer, between other things, the Champions League of 2015 in front of the Juventus in Berlin (1-3), the last Champions that won the combined blaugrana and in which casually it marked a goal in the final.

The ex of the PSG neither took a lot in doing cost his capacity goleadora with the Barcelona team. You grieve in the second party already was agitating the networks, marking in the 1-1 in the gone of the final of the Supercopa in front of the Athletic of Madrid in 2013. However, in other tournaments took him a bit more than time mark, taking six days in LaLiga and other six in the Champions. Nevertheless, when destapó in the 'Orejona', did it to the big, marking a triplete in front of the Celtic of Glasgow.

Finally, after 186 parties, 105 goals and 76 assistances, the Brazilian put end to his adventure like Barcelona in 2017, afterwards of the controversial irruption of the PSG, that paid the 222 million euros of his clause of rescission to do of his services. Recently, rumoreó that it could go back to the club culé, but finally, further of an economic reason, was not considered by Xavi Hernández to sportive level, and 'Ney' finished fichando by To the-Hilal.

Philippe Coutinho (2018)

Of the rédito that left Neymar in the arks of the club, derived the incorporation of another Brazilian player, the one who came to stand out in the Premier and whose signing caused a lot of expectation in Can Barça, an illusion that would not finish being confirmed. In this opportunity speaks of Philippe Coutinho, the one who arrived to the City Condal in 2018 by 160 million euros (120+40), erigiéndose like the most expensive signing of the history of the Spanish football for that then.

It converted his first goal like culé in his fifth party, in Mestalla, in the gone of the semifinal of the Glass of the King of the 2018. Further of this, did not have a very brilliant adventure in the club, partly by the injuries and by the fact that it never attained to settle in the Barcelona football. In fact, it had to be yielded in two opportunities to the Bayern Munich and to the Aston Villa, in search to have more minutes of game that in the Catalan club.

Finally, after 106 parties, 25 goals and 14 assistances, the Barça closed his cycle in the club traspasándolo to the Aston Villa, where was a request expresses of Steven Gerard, by 20 million euros in 2022, a transaction in which the Barcelona obviously lost money in the traspaso, topping a change that was desacertado in every aspect.

Malcom (2018)

Almost arriving at the end of these antecedents, suits to mention to Malcom, an extreme by right that arrived to the Barça in 2018 by 41 million pertinent euros of the Burdeos. After so alone 24 parties, in which it marked four goals and gave two assistances, fuand sold to the Zenith of St. Petersburg by 40+5 million euros, having scarce opportunities to deploy his football in the Catalan club, since it did not explain almost for Ernesto Valverde.

His first goal with the elastic blaugrana gave in the fourth party that played, going in in Giuseppe Meazza with the team losing 1-0 in a duel of Champions in 2018 and, to the minute 83, converted the goal that would give him the parity to the picture culé in this moment, topping perhaps one of the few occasions memorables that remember him to the Brazilian.

Raphinha (2022)

Finally, of all these players, the one who remains in the club and will be mate of 'Tigrinho' is Raphinha. The extreme arrived pertinent of the Leeds in 2022 by 58+7 millions, and after 13 goals and 19 assistances in the club, still does not finish to confirm all that that expected of him. After a first year in which it was litigating the titularity elbow to elbow with Ousmane Dembélé, expected that after the course of this last, the player of Carry Cheerful took of full the titularity, however, has not been able to give this step at the front that it expects of him in the City Condal.

Raphinha Marked in his fourth party like Barcelona, debuting like goleador in the Sánchez Pizjuán with a 0-3 in League. In the actuality has agreement with the club until 2027, but his performances certainly have been something irregular, although it generates a discharge of enormous game, has not been able to concretise it, leaving more doubts that certainties in Barcelona, expecting that prontamente finish of gestar his explosion like footballer.
