Barcelona saw a record 17 players head off to the World Cup in Qatar but not all have made it through to the knockout stages.
First to depart was center-back Andreas Christensen. Denmark were considered dark horses by many but disappointed in Qatar. However, Christensen can hold his head high after some strong performances. He also scored his team’s only World Cup goal.
Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was next to go as Germany suffered another shock exit in the group stages. Ter Stegen didn’t feature at all for Die Mannschaft, much like Ronald Araujo whose tournament is also over after Uruguay failed to reach the last 16.
