FC Barcelona’s signings this summer transfer window raises some questions regarding their ‘Gala XI’ for the upcoming season. Following up their historic second treble with a La Liga and Copa Del Rey double last season, the idea of making changes to what has worked so well may sound asinine. However, it is something that needs to happen sooner rather than later for the benefit of the club.
The main point of speculation is the role of the center-backs entering the new campaign. Both Gerard Pique and Javier Mascherano have been un-droppable under Luis Enrique these last two seasons.
