Everything is going very well at Barça this season. The stable trained by Hansi Flick presents itself to this final sprint of the season with serious possibilities of going to the end in Liga and Copa Del Rey, whose final will be playing this Saturday against Real Madrid. In the Champions League, the Catalans are also in the last square and are therefore necessarily a serious candidate for the final coronation. All, thanks to a very well established team and a German coach who manages to use the talent of his offensive players as best as possible.
Concretely, there are four players who can claim a place in the top 10 of the Ballon d'Or: Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Pedri and Robert Lewandowski, and the first two are even sacred candidates for the title. Pedri and the Polish are not far from it, and we imagine that the last Champions League games will be decisive. Unheard of in Barcelona from this famous MSN trio, or the time when Xavi and Iniesta regularly accompanied Lionel Messi among the best classified of the most prestigious of individual awards.
Barça is not excited
But as indicated ReaderBarça is not necessarily delighted. The media, which is based on sources close to Joan Laporta, explains that within the club, we favor the excellence of the team and the collective, and that we do not want to put individuality forward. Quite the opposite of Real Madrid for example and the Vinicius Jr affair, with Merengues who clearly positioned themselves in private and public in favor of the Brazilian, in front of other players of the team like Dani Carvajal.
The media thus underlines this different approach between the two clubs and adds that Barça is afraid that the unity of the group takes a hit. The locker room is rather healthy and balanced and management does not wish to see ego wars or individual inclinations appear. FC Barcelona should therefore not position itself in favor of a player and still hope that there will be one or more blaugranas on the podium.
