🚨Alvaro Benito on why Bernardo Silva was never a priority for Barcelona 🗣 “I don't really understand the reaction surrounding Bernardo Silva and Barcelona. We're talking about a fantastic footballer, but people are acting as if Barcelona have missed out on a signing they desperately needed. That simply wasn't the case. There was contact and there was interest, but it never felt like a move the club viewed as essential. When you analyse Barcelona's squad, midfield is one of the strongest areas of the team. They already have players such as Pedri, Gavi, De Jong and Fermín López, along with several young midfielders continuing to develop. Bernardo would have added quality, experience and depth, but he wasn't going to solve the team's biggest issues. The priorities are elsewhere. Barcelona still need more security at the back, greater depth in the defensive wide areas and a striker capable of making the difference consistently in the biggest matches. When a club wants to compete for the Champions League, recruitment has to focus on necessity rather than opportunity. Bernardo Silva is an excellent player and would improve almost any team, but Barcelona's most urgent needs remain in defence and attack. Those are the areas the club should be concentrating on.”

Anthony Gordon fue presentado en Barcelona, le preguntaron en inglés y SORPRENDIÓ A TODOS RESPONDIENDO EN ESPAÑOL. Cuando le consultaron cómo sabía español contestó: “APRENDÍ ESPAÑOL PORQUE DESDE NENE SABÍA QUE IBA A JUGAR EN EL BARÇA”. Espectacular. 🧠
