In summer was practically a stranger, an incógnita that arrived of the Chinese League and by a millonada, what after some months very convulsos did not like at all to the fans of the Camp Nou. But Paulinho has won the right to be considered a star of the FC Barcelona, perhaps no of which more shines, but one that contributes, and a lot, and that has won a place to base of character and effort. This Sunday will live a very special day.

Almost half year afterwards, the Brazilian reencontrará with a rival that did that the Barcelona took him into account, the Getafe. When it jumped to the lawn of the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez few could imagine what was for coming, in a very suffered meeting that it filled of complications and that resolved thanks to the performances of two of the considered like secondary.

It was his fourth party with the Barça, or rather his fourth ratito, and the conditions were not the best. Then, Ousmane Dembélé already had lesionado for some months and Denis Suárez had rescued to the culés of a goal of Gaku Shibasaki. But with Paulinho arrived the cavalry. To few minutes of the end, the one of Sao Paulo collected a pass hammered of Leo Messi to put it of a zambombazo in the goal of Vicente Guaita.

That 1-2 was one of the turning points in the brilliant series that still today keep the men of Ernesto Valverde, that still do not know what is to fall defeated in LaLiga. The ex of the Guangzhou began to be an usual referent in the 4-4-2 of the Txingurri, in which now it has stepped backwards because of the new offensive reinforcements. In spite of everything, keeps on being an important piece, and if it is an idol of the terracing, is because it began to like from his big afternoon in the coliseo 'azulón'.

Possible title in the Camp Nou

After a week of maximum requirement with the commitments coperos against Valencia and the derbi against the Espanyol, Paulinho could recover a titularity that has tieed up in the two last parties of LaLiga. With the need to freshen to some footballers to days seen of the return of the Champions, Valverde could give rest to some of his midfield players and have the Brazilian. In a very special meeting, sure that will be loved. And it deserves it to him.
