Is Paco Alcacer really better than Munir El Haddadi for Barcelona?

The Valencia striker has completed his 30 million euro switch to Camp Nou as the Blaugrana forward moves the other way. But was it really worth it?

Barcelona finally has its fourth forward. Coach Luis Enrique has been searching for a player to provide backup to Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar ever since last winter and the Blaugrana boss has his new striker at last. But is Paco Alcacer really better than the man he will replace at Camp Nou, Munir El Haddadi?

Transfer targets came and went as Barca pursued the likes of Nolito, Luciano Vietto and Kevin Gameiro, all of those ultimately opting for guaranteed first-team football, and Luis Enrique admitted the Catalan club may have to stick with what it has had.
