Good election

Although Serge Aurier had been a good option, the Barça can not arrepentirse after the big feelings that has left Nélson Semedo in his first months like Barcelona. Seen his performance and taking into account the clause in his traspaso with the Benfica, would not be descartable that the Portuguese renewed in little time.
