Calendar of FC Barcelona

The saga has been one of the sectors of the FC Barcelona that more movements has had with regard to the past campaign, partly because it was the feeblest link of the first team. The club reinforced with the incorporation of Jules Koundé, Héctor Bellerín and Marcos Alonso, diminishing considerably the leadership of Gerard Hammered and Jordi Alba, two of the captains of the plantel.

However, one of the footballers that more has called the attention of Xavi Hernández has been Alejandro Balde. The canterano has had an important progression and in League already adds nine titularities in eleven commitments, some numbers that only are surpassed by Robert Lewandowski and Marc-André ter Stegen. His evolution is part of the confidence that has given him the technical body, although it still is the 'factor Champions' to the expectation.

By League of Champions only has contested 44' minutes in the four first dates and in any has gone in from the beginning, what leaves in evidence that the trainer bets by the experience in this type of stages. In the debut in front of Viktoria Plzen used to Alba whereas in the duels in front of Bayern Munich and Inter of Milan preferred to Marcos Alonso, a situation that could change this Wednesday in the turn in front of the Bavarians.

The good management of the canterano in front of Nico Williams the weekend has done him win integers like titling by the side, more still taking into account the drops that has the team in defence. Jules Koundé could go back to the right lane to relieve to Sergi Roberto, whereas the central pair would be covered by Eric García and Marcos Alonso, what will leave the left lane to disposal of Balde and Jordi Alba. The speed of the Catalan do him a piece to take into account, overcoat by the good connection that exists when ending in attack.

It will depend on the classification

The Barcelona will know his options to continue in Champions after the crash between Inter and Viktoria to the 18:45 hours. The Italians have to add of to three to ensure a square in the eighth of final, what will affect directly in the approach of Xavi. Everything is on the table, but nowadays seems that Balde is the main candidate to win the titularity also in European competitions.
