5 players from Barcelona who are/were better for their national teams

#4 Claudio Bravo

When Victor Valdes decided to leave Barcelona, there was a huge void left at the goalkeeping position at Camp Nou. Victor Valdes had been the number one at the home of the Catalan giants for the best part of the decade.

The Barcelona management decided to go with two keepers to two keepers to fill the void, a seasoned pro in Claudio Bravo and a goalkeeper with great potential in Andre ter Stegen.

Just before signing for Barcelona, Claudio was brilliant for Chile in the FIFA World Cup and was probably the best goalkeeper in the tournament till the last 16 stage. His Barcelona career though was inconsistent at best, which didn’t help the fact that Luis Enrique decided to rotate his goalkeepers for the Cup competitions and the League.

But, when at Barcelona, he won two Copa America titles with Chile and now has the 111 caps for his country. Eventually, Barcelona were more than happy to sell when Manchester City came calling.
