Related Topics: Sergi Roberto, Aleix Vidal, Barcelona

Here are some facts.

  1. Aleix Vidal is out for the season.
  2. Sergi Roberto is not in good form, and seems mentally fed up with the right-back position.
  3. Barcelona need a huge offensive display to pull off a miracle comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League
  4. Barcelona have 3 starting quality centerbacks.
  5. Barcelona have a glut of decent-to-pretty-good midfielders, but no one outstanding candidate besides Sergio Busquets and Andrés Iniesta.

With these facts, isn’t three at the back the logical conclusion?
