Expected Return Pleases Xavi Before the Napoli Match
Agencies – Sudan Events
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez received a strong boost days before facing Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, German goalkeeper Andre ter Stegen will join Barcelona and Napoli, if no surprise occurs in the coming days.
She pointed out that this is excellent news for Xavi, because the rate of Stegen conceding goals this season reached one goal every 102 minutes, something that Barca missed badly during the injury of the German goalkeeper.
She explained that the substitute goalkeeper, Iñaki Pena, concedes one goal every 49 minutes, but the matter is mainly due to the decline in the team’s level in the recent period.
She stated that Stegen is one of the team’s leaders and it turns out that Barcelona misses him in the most sensitive moments, so his return will give Barcelona a technical and economic boost at the same time, because reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League is a major goal for the Catalan club in order to recover financially.
