Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Jonathan Clauss’ “Little Brother” interview!
Eliminated from the Champions League after a poorly managed group stage against Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, Barça is now aiming for La Liga and the King’s Cup. First in the championship, the Blaugrana proved that they could be consistent to come and compete with Real Madrid over 38 days by counting two points in advance at the truce after 14 days. The objective of the Catalans is clear: to find the peaks as quickly as possible, whether nationally or continentally. For this, Xavi Hernandez intends to rely on a circle of players described as “untouchable” by the daily Sportwhich made its front page this morning.
Jules Koundé among the untouchables
Among these six players, there are four from the academy: the pair of midfielders Pedri (20) and Gavi (18), striker Ansu Fati (20) and defender Ronaldo Araujo (23 years), arrived at Barça B in 2018. To accompany them, the experienced Robert Lewandowski is also part of it (34 years). Finally, more surprisingly, it is the Frenchman Jules Koundé (24), World Cup finalist with the France team this winter, who completes this list. They see them as the key to a successful present and future. The five “young people” also have a release clause of one billion euros. Enough to calm the ardor of the clubs wishing to come and sow panic in this small group destined to become the future executives of the locker room. Note the non-presence of Ousmane Dembélé, yet much appreciated by Xavi Hernandez.

to summarize
Xavi Hernandez, the Barça coach, has six untouchable players for the future, four of whom come from the training center, plus a Frenchman, in this case the defender of the Blues Jules Koundé, recruited this summer.
