Opportunity for Marcos Alonso to claim himself as a luxury substitute

The FC Barcelona receives the Wednesday to the Shakhtar Donetsk, a key party for the future of Marcos Alonso in the club. Although the defender has the confidence of Xavi Hernández, his last performances have left a lot of doubts and, with Alejandro Balde consolidated in the right lane, his opportunities will be every time lower, still when the demanding European calendar forces to the egarense to rotar.

In what it goes of season, the ex player of Chelsea only adds 105 minutes delivered in five apparitions (four by League, one by Champions). In Champions only played 10 minutes in front of the Port wine, whereas in League was to title in front of Villarreal and Celtic, this last a party in which only it played the first part. Afterwards, it was acting in the three following days, without minutes until the Sunday in front of the Bilbao, where ingresó in the final stretch.

Marcos Alonso has to claim in the Barça

In this sense, the situation of the Madrilenian has worsened regarding the past season. In the 2022/23, Marcos was to title in five of the six parties that the Barça played by Champions, being headline in all they. By League, the international Spanish saw action in 24 parties (1.162 minutes), but was acting in the majority of them. Still like this, the player of 32 years did not have doubt in renewing by a year, until June of 2024.

It is thus that the '17' has to show, once and for all, that can be the acting of luxury that the Barça needs. Balde Already has given samples of tiredness after playing it almost everything in the beginning of the 23/24, in addition to his parties with the Selection. Xavi thinks that Alonso has sufficient hierarchy to be a wheel of help so much by the band as in the centre of the saga, but the Spanish has to recover his best form and ratify the confidence of the technical body. In front of the Shakhtar, there are not excuses for Marcos Alonso.

The Barça goes by another arch in zero in the Champions

In the two first days of Champions, the Barça has attained to keep the zero in his potería, a performance that contrasts with it sucedido in the beginning of LaLiga. The culés have fit 10 so many in equal number of parties in the tournament, whereas in Europe neither Amberes neither Port wine attained to hurt him to Ter Stegen. In the 2022/23 occurred all the contrary, since the team was very vulnerable in Champions (fit 12 goals in 6 parties) and in League hardly received 7 so many in all the first turn.
