Deco, sports director of FC Barcelona, drew up a first assessment of the summer transfer window, closed three weeks ago, and projected himself in the 2025-2026 season during an interview with the Brazilian newspaper Spear. Ambitious, the former FC Porto and Blaugranas player clearly said that the Champions League was an objective for the club, while highlighting the difficulty of a raised competition, where several major European clubs have strengthened considerably, such as Liverpool, Real Madrid and especially PSG, notably welcoming the work accomplished by Luis Enrique at the head of the Parisian club.
“There are many teams that have reinforced very well, such as Liverpool, which has recruited good players, or Real Madrid. The teams are better. We must be very strong if we want to aim for the final. PSG is an incredible team; He has managed to build a solid workforce in recent years, has made the right recruitments, and has a coach that I really appreciate, who is very competitive and serious. This is one of the main candidates to win the Champions League again. It will be a good match, an attractive match, but it is rather a qualifying match. We have to move forward match after match. There is no point in dreaming of the Champions League if you do not pass the group phase. It is a beautiful match, but we will try to garner points to reach our goal, which is to qualify. ” The meeting between Barça and PSG in the Champions League is scheduled for October 1, in Catalonia.
