Between the eleven headlines of the Barcelona group was Andrés Iniesta, that however has lived the decisive stretch from the bench.

it is turning into Usual that the captain was one of the first replacements of Ernesto Valverde, that has decided to manage of this way the physical state of one of the most important pieces of his staff. The technician has a lot that see in the good moment so that it lives the manchego, and although it has not given him any break in shape of absence pactada, yes is them to him giving withdrawing him to time of the parties.

Since it began the course, the one of Fuentealbilla has not played to the complete any of the meetings of the Barça, although in the majority has started of start.
