The stage is set for an epic Champions League battle as Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona prepare to lock horns in a highly-anticipated clash at the Parc des Princes. With both teams unveiling their starting lineups, all eyes will be on the midfield tussle featuring the returning Frenkie de Jong for the Catalan giants.
De Jong, who had been sidelined for a month due to injury, has been handed a starting berth by Xavi as Barcelona aim to gain an advantage in the first leg of this quarterfinal tie.
In a recent interview, Manchester City’s Portuguese full-back João Cancelo, who is currently on loan at FC Barcelona, revealed an intriguing conversation he had with his national team colleague, Pepe. The seasoned defender, who spent a decade at Real Madrid, attempted to persuade Cancelo to join the Spanish giants, but the 28-year-old made it clear that his allegiance lies with Barcelona.
“Pepe said that I was a player for Madrid, but I told him that I am a Barça fan,” Cancelo stated, highlighting his unwavering support for the Catalan club.
In the ever-evolving world of football transfers, FC Barcelona finds itself at a crossroads regarding the future of Nico González. The young Spanish midfielder, currently plying his trade at FC Porto on loan, has caught the attention of Premier League clubs with his impressive performances. This presents the Catalan giants with a dilemma: should they exercise their buyback option or capitalize on a potential sale?
Nico González’s journey began at La Masia, Barcelona’s famed youth academy, where he honed his skills alongside some of the most promising talents in Spain.
