l Barcelona and the Royal Society season 21-22 kicks off this afternoon at the Camp Nou. The match is marked by the definitive absence of Leo Messi: the box culé and The league They have lost the Argentine star and they have to reinvent themselves and look for new protagonists. But Koeman he will be able to count, at least, on his signings. The Barça finally signed up yesterday to Memphis already Eric Garcia, and it did so because it has reduced its wage bill thanks to the token cut that has been made Gerard Piqué.

The cost of the dressing room accounted for 95 percent of the institution’s income when LaLiga’s top was 70. The entity has been working for months on the starts and restructuring the file of its four captains, Piqué, Alba, Sergi Roberto and Busquets, but the only negotiation that has been completed in time and that has allowed the signing of the signings has been that of the Catalan central defender. “The Barcelona has been able to enroll Memphis, Eric Garcia and Rey Manaj in Professional Football League.

Three decades

The Real society dreams of starting The league delving into the crisis that Barcelona is experiencing after the departure of Leo Messi and win in the Camp Nou 30 years after I did it for the last time. Set txuriurdin does not come to this premiere at its best, since it has lost several important players due to injury, such as Monreal and Isak, but trust the momentum of the newcomers from the Olympic Games to get his first win.

The Real will be entrusted tonight to the great level that Oyarzabal, Merino and Zubimendi in Tokyo, and also to Januzaj and Portu in the preseason, to look for a positive result with which to start a championship in which he has the very complicated task of matching what he did in the past.

Those five footballers aim to be the game today, although perhaps Zubimendi is relegated to the bench by Illarramendi, in an eleven in which they will not be able to be due to habitual injuries like Nacho Monreal and the scorer Alex Isak, both with discomfort in one of their knees.

Diego Rico and Willian José They aimed to supply them, but the first one broke this week and the second one he left by surprise at home yesterday Imanol, with what Aihen, transferable at the beginning of the summer, will start the campaign as a starter, while everything indicates that, in the style Luis De La Fuente, that of Orio can play with Oyarzabal as a more advanced man, or else with For your.

As in every visit to the Camp Nou, it’s time to remember that Real has not had all three points since 1991, a streak that seems more likely to be broken without Messi as a rival, although the aforementioned casualties also remove the txuriurdin potential to achieve that goal.
